A/N: This chapter is mainly to show what happened on the mission, in other words, a prequel of the first chapter.

Chapter 2

Mutant X lay asleep while Adam worked in his lab. A computer went off to the right of Adam "Mutant detected" a file popped up of a New Mutant, young in his 20's, short brown hair, and a slim face. Adam spoke into his ring "Shalimar, Brennan, Jesse, Emma, get to the lab quick" a couple mins later the team walked in wiping their eyes of the drowsiness. Shalimar stuck her hands on her hips "What's going on Adam?" Adam turned around "A new mutant is in trouble, his name is Scott Garner, he's a Elemental Thermal" Shalimar rolled her eyes "Greeeaaaaattt" Adam turned around again "He's in trouble, get ready and meet in the Helix in 5" The team walked out slowly.

All the team members rushed inside the Helix, but Adam stood out by the doors "Adam, come on!" Brennan yelled from the pilot seat. "I'm staying behind, I'll stay here and monitor the situation, NOW GO!" Adam walked back into Sanctuary as the Helix doors snapped shut and soon blasted off into the bright sky.

The Helix landed softly one top of a empty car park. The team walked out of the Helix and stretched before they started their search for the New Mutant. Shalimar looked around as her eyes went Feral, she searched along hoping to see or hear Scott. "Jesse, stay here till we locate the new mutant" Jesse's face became confused "But-" Shalimar spun around "No buts, let's go" Jesse continued to stand there as he watched the rest of the team run to save the New Mutant while he was left behind.

The team split up as soon as they hit the next floor, both searched different floors. Shalimar looked around "Scott! Scott!", Brennan, a floor below walked along keeping his eyes open to everything while Emma a floor below Brennan stood in the middle hoping to sense some kind of movement that wasn't their own. Shalimar could sense something, but couldn't see anything, it was bugging the hell outta her, she decided she needed some help, she spoke into her com-link "Hey Em, could you come up here, I need some Psionic help." There was a silence for a few seconds "Sure Shal, there's nothing down here anyways, be there in 5"

Brennan continued to look around as Emma made it up to Shal. Emma didn't say a word and already began her scanning, Brennan below was looking around until he heard a noise from behind him. Brennan spun around to see 12 GSA agents running towards him fully armed. Brennan immediately spoke into his com-link "Hey girls, ummmm, I have a little company down here" Shalimar ran as fast as she could but suddenly Emma got a chill "SHALIMAR!" Shalimar continued to run ignoring Emma from her call. Emma walked a few feet until she saw further on, the new mutant running as fast as he could, from the GSA agents that followed. Emma spoke into her com-link "Hey, I found him, and he has company" Shalimar quickly spoke "JESS!! GO HELP EMMA AND THE NEW MUTANT!!" Jesse jumped from this call. "Be there in 5"

Jesse ran out of the Helix and immediately phased through the floor to see the New Mutant known as Scott Garner hiding behind a pillar behind Emma while she was shooting Psionic blasts left and right. Jesse unphased and helped Emma with the fight. Shalimar spoke from the ring where you could hear the battle going on "Jess, protect Scott at all costs" Jesse continued fighting, he backed up and stood next to Scott. "Hey, you okay?" he slowly nodded "Emma! Let's go!" Emma shot the last Psionic blast and nodded and began her run. The GSA agents pulled out guns and pointed them at Emma, Jesse looked around "EMMA!" she turned around to see all 12 GSA agents fire of their guns all at once aimed at Emma as well as the New Mutant.

Jesse dashed and massed right in front of Emma protecting himself and Emma from the bullets that followed. Jesse returned to normal and check to see that Emma was okay, he looked beyond Emma to see Scott holding his chest, and looking at his own blood on his hands. His body slowly went limp as he collapsed on the ground. The GSA agents dashed away from the Mutants, Emma and Jesse ran to Scott, she grabbed his wrist and felt along it, she shook her head and whispered "He's gone" Jesse stared at the fallen mutant, he slowly lifted his fist and spoke "Shalimar.Brennan.return to the Helix, Scott's dead" there was silence on the end "Okay, wait, he's dead?" Jesse spoke "I'll explain back at the Helix" Jesse took one last glance and Scott and walked away slowly.
