Start

Shalimar trailed her feet along the beach; the sun was setting leaving a orange layer upon the sky. Her eyes were mesmerized at the way the water and sky would swallow each other up, and only parting for the sun to rise and set.

She sighed, letting the soft glow, run over every inch of her body. Praising god for moments like this.

She heard him approaching, but decided it was even better to either keep him in suspense…or let him and her sit together, quietly. No one really knew what was going on between them, not even them selves…but there was some thing, in moments like this…that made heaven feel, on earth.

He walked up to her, not saying a word but pulled her arm for them both to sit. So they both sat down, easing into each other, till finally, they both sat wrapped in each other's arms, watching the sunset.

Brennan looked down at her, seeing the glow in her eyes made him have hope, some day, they would be able to have a life. But for now, they would just have to wait.

She snuggled back, enjoying the feel of him behind her, holding strong like a wall. He towered over her about an inch, but that wasn't a problem.

She silently purred to her self, letting the two presences set her senses low and allow her to rest. The sun, giving light to other places, and him, arms protecting her.

" Guys…"

They almost flew apart, turning as the moment was dashed into a million pieces, and scatted in the wind.

Jesse smiled as he made his way towards the two-team mates. The look on their faces indicated, he was intruding. He lazily sat down next to Brennan; finally the other members of mutant x joined them.

Within the hour they all retreated their things from a day on the beach and went to their house near the edge of the beach.

A friend of Adam's had lent it to them for the few weeks they were going to be there.

Shalimar went to the fridge and grabbed her orange, fresh and cold, some thing to wake her up from her dream that Jesse had suddenly entered about an hour ago.

She scolded him softly in her mind, it was either him, or Emma, or even Adam, who ruined there best moments. Some times she allowed her self to think it was because they could do it, so they did.

Brennan sat down on the coach, letting the rest of the day, drain him, and let him sleep.

But sleep wasn't easy to get with Jesse around, especial when he wanted to talk or do some thing. The coach suddenly tipped a bit and Brennan jumped awake, grabbing each sit of the coach that was near him.

Jesse had lifted the coach, to get the remote that was underneath it. He smiled teasingly he had made his friend jump twice that day.

Brennan gritted his teeth, thinking to him self.

Twice in one day, three times jess, and you can kiss good health good-bye

Night soon crept up and all the members of mutant x were forced to sleep, for it welcomed them so.

Silently, a black, medium sized figure crept from room to room. When it reached new mutants it placed its hand near them and mumbled a foreign language. There hand glowed a white flash, and then every thing went back to normal.

Not every thing went back to normal as the members of mutant x would discover.

Morning

Brennan stretched out in bed, letting the tired seem into him again and settled back down.
He was suddenly attacked with a roar of noise and covered his ears, " Dam guys, not so loud". Jesse was brushing his teeth and stuck his head round the door, looking very confused at his teammate. " Bren…are you ok man".

Brennan stared for a second, " what was will all the noise".

Jesse half laughed at him, " Well I'll try and be like a mouse from now on". Brennan just grumbled a threat and fell back to sleep.

Jesse laughed talking to him self, " God Brennan, if I got a nickel for every time you threatened me I'd be…"

With a flash he was standing in front of a different type of mirror, a more girly kind.

He looked on in confusion, until his heart lunged when he sore the door swing open and Emma walk in.

A high-pitched scream ran through the house making every one jump from bed and to where it was.

Emma was beating Jesse over the head with some bag and he was trying to explain to her. " Emma! Just let me explain!"

She scowled at him, " How dare you Jesse Kilmartin, I never thought you ever do a thing like that". His jaw dropped, "hold on Emma, one minute I was in my bathroom, the next I was in yours".

He smiled, " Explain that for me". She stuck her face forwards, " Remember your power Jess, you can phase through walls".

With that she stormed into her room, slamming the door behind her.

Brennan sighed, " Well, I guess I may as well get up, all you guys seem louder than usual". Shalimar nudged him; she was already dressed and smiling in the morning mood. " What are you a feral now".

He smiled and drifted off to his room, leaving Jesse to try and explain to Shalimar.

By 9.00am every one was washed and changed and sitting eating breakfast with each other.

Adam walked in, seeming happy with the smile he held like a plaster on his face.

Brennan messed with his food, " your in a good mood this morning". Adam merely nodded and reached into the fridge, retrieving his choise and then leaving the room again.

Jesse glanced at Brennan, also seeing the confused look on his friends face. " Owe well, guess it's just us today then".

Shal nodded, " Ye, so where do you guys want to go".

Emma squealed up, " Owe, why not to the spar in town, I hear they give great massages". Jesse huffed, " No way, I'm need some action today".

Shalimar put her hand between the two before they could continue squabbling, " Bren what do you think". With the sudden attention, he just shrugged his shoulders, " I don't know…I don't really care".

She looked at him a bit worried, " You ok". Jesse slapped him on the shoulder, " Of course he's ok, its Brennan were talking about here, and so he will agree with me on the action part then, right Bro".

Brennan didn't want to go anywhere today, all he wanted was to sleep, and the heat was putting a daze on him. So again he shrugged.

Shalimar just sighed, " Well, why don't you guys go and do your things and me and Brennan will do our things".

The team all agreed and set off for their day, that was planned out. Jesse and Emma went out the door leaving Brennan and Shal alone to talk.

She eased her self into the seat next to him, " You ok". The words flowed over him, but he didn't want to answer, didn't want to show how tired he was.

She rubbed his arm, laying her head on it she sighed, " We don't have to go out, we can stay in and still have fun".

Brennan shrugged, " No shal if you want to go have fun go, please. Don't stay behind because of me".

She felt a sudden need to change the subject, " You know some weird things have been happening today". Brennan nodded, totally agreeing with her.

" Jesse in Emma's room, Adam and his smiling face…and you".

He suddenly looked up into her eyes, "me?"

She smiled, " What's wrong".

Brennan let his breath dryly escape; " I just don't feel, like me today".

She patted his arm, " Wanna go to the beach and splash about in the water. Or build a sand castle with me".

He smiled, a laugh escaped and Shalimar's hopes raise. " Ok shal, if that's what you want then fine".

She clapped her hands together and went to go change for the beach, leaving Brennan to look on.

Beach

Shalimar had worn her thin top; it lay easily on her and wouldn't prevent her skin from getting too much of a tan.

She ran instantly to the water and kicked some at him. Smirking with mischief she did it again.

Brennan moved towards the water, " Shal, I'll get you for that". Running into the water, and pulling her down with him, he soaked her.

He laughed, his earlier mood flowing away with the water. She moved back and hit her hand in the water, sending a splash his way. He ducked trying to avoid it.

She laughed as he looked just as wet as her, " Well, Bren I think you've had enough punishment".

Brennan laughed as he started to make his way towards shore.

Shalimar swished her hand through the water, but the current suddenly pushed her forwards through the water, sending her a foot away from Brennan. He looked back at the sudden noise of the water, and seeing Shal a foot away he almost jumped, " Shal, you alright". She nodded trying to shake the feeling off, " Always".

They both walked back to the house, laughing at some of the jokes they each made up about each other.

" You looked so cute when I dunked you Bren".

His jaw dropped, " CUTE! I didn't look cute, you can say to a guy they look cute, and cute is for animals, not men. You should say handsome or whatever but not cute".

She laughed lowly, waiting a second before she went to start running, " You looked so cute".

Boom, she was off, Brennan right behind her.

A bald headed man stud waiting at the front door, he turned when he heard Brennan and Shal approaching.

" Good evening".

Brennan instantly felt his defences go up and walked faster to keep him self between him and Shal. "Evening, what can we do for you"?

The man smiled, dark blue eyes, taking in all information about the house he was looking at. " Is this your place"?

Brennan hesitated, " …No. It's a friends, were borrowing it for a few weeks".

The man seemed interested. " And who is this friend".

Brennan folded his arms, " Well excuse me for putting it so bluntly but that's not of your business". The man seemed taken back by Brennan's little give of information. He walked towards him, his black jacket was long, hanging near his knees and blowing in the wind.

" Have you seen any…strange things going on lately around here".

Brennan felt his mind freeze, what did this guy know.

Shalimar linked his arm, saving him from the moment. " What kind of strange things". She cringed her eyes, trying to shield them from the sun.

The man smiled, " Any thing…" he shrugged, " Out of the ordinary". Brennan's face was hard, " no. And if that's all your going to ask you best be on your way".

The man lifted his hands up in defence, " Hey, I didn't mean to upset you, but if there is anything…" he handed a card to Brennan, " you call and tell me".

Brennan took the card and the man started to walk away to his big fancy car. It roared off and Brennan felt the sudden tightness in his shoulders eas.

Brennan looked down at the card, it read, ' Luther corp.' the number inscribed on the bottom. But writing was write in the back, ' Lex- 0786 166 554'.

Brennan looked up in the distance, Why would he do that.

Shalimar started to drag him into the house, " Come on Bren, and don't stand out here thinking about it".

But that wasn't on his mind, when he'd taken the card; he'd felt a slight buzz run through him. He thought he'd just electrocuted the guy, but he looked at him, seeming fine, no quick reactions. Nothing to show any harm.

Brennan walked with Shal, and went to sleep in his room, just like he wanted. His eyes closed, sending him into a dream world.

DREAM

Images of the man flashed in his mind and another figure that seemed to be his father. They were talking, no, arguing. The older man made a grab in order to hug his son, Lex, but was shoved back, and the man exited the room. Leaving his father tearing up and almost crying.

Another image, ripped right through it, sending a bolt of shock down his spine.

It was a younger form of Lex; he was about 13 or a bit older. He was sitting next to his dad, both them laughing.

Another flash and a different image formed in a swirl. Lex was holding a young child in his arms, looking still like he was 13.

He was smiling, laughing, and proud he had the pleasure to hold his brother. Wait, brother.

The teen immediately started to panic as the small form of life in his arms disappeared.

The boy started to run through the darkness, screaming his brother's name.

' Julian….Julian…'

Brennan shot up in bed, screaming the name. He stopped and stayed still, confusion striking a whole new level with him and he froze, not liking it. It was night, the sky dark and no stars in sight.

His door burst open, sending him plummeting back to reality. He was drenched in his sweet, panting hard, body shaking slightly.

" Brennan…are you alright. We thought we heard some thing".
Adam made his way towards Brennan, shaking him by the arm, " Brennan…"

Brennan looked up at him, " …what". He only received a worried look from each member of the team.
Shalimar piped in to direct some attention. " Weird things have been happening Adam, since this morning actually".

Adam was still looking at Brennan, trying to figure out what had the younger man so spooked. "maybe I should scan you all, just to make sure". They all agree, except Brennan, who remained quiet.

Next day

Adam had a small lab under the house, so he could help the team out if necessary . He made sure he left Brennan for last, giving him a bit more time to come out of his faze.

He was amazed at the results from the team. Each one showing there powers were not the same any more, but entirely different.

When Brennan came in, he was quiet, not really giving his presence away. He got the scan over with and went to leave.

" Brennan…"

Adam swirled round in his chair, asking Brennan to sit back down.

When he did he started to explain what was going on.

" I Believe you and the others are experiencing new powers". Brennan looked confused, " What you mean mutating".

Adam shook his head as no, " no, totally different powers. Scans show

Shalimar is a

Water elemental and a stasis suspension or time freezer.

Jesse,

a telecyber and teleporter.

Emma

A telekinetic and prokenetic

And you Brennan, its shows you have canine feral and procog or plain language, you can see future, past or present. I believe the man you meet yesterday as Shalimar told me, gave you a card. When he handed it to you, you must have had a vision".

Brennan looked more scared than confused now, the images, flashed in his head, just to remind him giving a headache with it.

He sighed as he pressed his finger to his temple, " How do we control them then".

" You all need to stay here for today, I'm going to find some information out on this…visitor of ours. Did you see any thing useful in the vision that may help us find out who he is".

Brennan suddenly looked up at him, " His name is Lex…Luther. His father runs Luther corp".

Adam sat back, recognising the name. He went to walk out the room, tapping Brennan on the shoulder as he passed, " Great work…thanks Brennan, tell the others to get some rest as well as you. If our friend comes knocking again just turn him away. I'm going to a friends wont be long".

Adam put his long jacket on that resembled Lex's. then exited saying a goodbye.

Brennan sat there in his own little world. Feeling like he was walking on egg shells, hoping not to provoke another vision

Later that day

A knock at the door sent every one into a nervous state, staring until another erjent knock sounded. Brennan hesitated before moving and opening it, not fully, just so his body blocked the entrance.

Lex was there, again, smiling with some knowledge behind his eyes.

" What can I do for you".

He smiled, pushing his hand forwards for Brennan to take, " I think we got off on the wrong foot. I'm just searching for some answers. My name is Lex".

Brennan remained still, " Ye well the card you gave us had your number on it…and we don't remember calling".

He nodded his head, trying to see past him into the house. " Well, my contacts believe they sore a dark figure, creeping around near your house a few days ago, near mid night to be exact".

" Well Mr Luther we can take care of our selves so why don't you leave now".

Before Brennan could shut the door, Lex stepped in the way, " Just one more question please".

Brennan sighed and opened the door fully, " What!"

"…how did you know my sirname".

" It was on the card". " No that was my fathers name on the card, I just told you my name. How did you know it was mine also". Brennan shrugged " I don't know, most probably because you wrote your name on the back… is that all".

Lex looked at him, trying to pin the light on him. It seemed it wasn't working so he stepped back, " Yes, remember the card and if there is any trouble about my father round here, give me a call".

Brennan nodded, so Lex walked away and to his car that was parked closer to the house.

Shalimar hugged his arm and started out at the man, " I don't like him, he's had far too many visits round here". Brennan agreed with a nod, he didn't like it either, but until they all got these powers under control, things would only get harder.
