Chapter 1: A New Beginning for a Stranger
It was a cool afternoon on the western coast of Ireland. It had rained earlier but now the sky was clear and bright. Brennan and Jesse were ridding in a motorcycle with buggy, on a small road headed north. It was an old paved road winding along the cliffs edge, passing by large scattered rocks and boulders surrounded by grassy rolling hills. Brennan was driving with Jesse sitting in the side car; the result of a long debate in which Brennan won only because of Jesse's lack of experience on a motorcycle. It was no four-wheel vehicle, but it was the only thing they could rent near the pub where Shalimar and Emma were waiting with the Helix parked near by. After 15 minutes had gone by since they turned onto the road they were on, Jesse wanted to drive.
"You know Brennan, we have been traveling down this road for a long time now and I think its time for you to give me a turn in the driver's seat. Ya know it's only fair!" Jesse said trying to muster authority in his voice.
"I thought we went over this already, Jess!" Brennan said never stopping his watchful gaze.
"I know, but it can't be that hard if you can do it!"
"What do you MEAN 'can't be that hard'? There is NO WAY I'm putting my life into your hands, especially when we are ridding near a cliff!"
"Brennan, the edge is clearly a good 20 feet away."
"I know but I'm taking no chances. Besides she can't be much further. Just keep your eyes peeled for a bike near the road will ya."
Jesse let out a sigh of defeat, and said "Fine" as they continued in silence looking for the bike.
The sun was setting low on the Western cliffs of Ireland creating a magnificent array of colors in the clear sky. A young woman was waiting for a new life to begin. She was standing, staring out upon the ocean in a trance like state, memorized by the blue waves crashing on the rocks below, rocking the seaweed back and forth. She had two feet of curly red hair hanging down her back. Her looks gave no question of her Irish heritage. She remained in her gaze even though coming up the road was a motorcycle.
As Brennan and Jesse pulled off the side of the road where they saw an old bike leaning up against one of the rocks, they caught sight of her. They both thought she was beautiful at the first look. Their second thought was who could reach her first to 'comfort' her on this big decision. They both made a scramble to get off the bike, but Jesse was too slow being crammed in a small compartment for so long.
As Brennan jogged toward the girl he turned and said "Hey Jess! You should have fazed through it, man!"
Propping himself up on a boulder he called back sarcastically "Yeah, yeah! I'll be there in a minuet, (Whispering) just as soon as I get blood flowing back into my legs."
Brennan slowed his pace and coolly walked up along side the new mutant they were looking for. Her name was Gwen. Now the sun was descending behind the watery horizon, and the moon and stars were just beginning to brake through the red like sky.
Putting his hand on her shoulder he said, "You don't have to worry any more. You're safe now."
Watching the sea grass ebb and flow she whispered "I know". Then she snapped back into reality and jerked away from Brennan.
"Whoa!" Brennan said putting his hands in the air.
"There's nothing to worry about. My name is Brennan. I'm with Mutant X!" (Short pause) "You contacted us to meet. remember?" Brennan said with a sense of trust and warmth in his voice.
Brennan watched to see how she would react. Throwing caution into the wind, Gwen plopped herself into Brennan's arms and held him tight. She let out a huge sigh, one that seemed to have the weight of the world on it. Surprised, Brennan wrapped his arm around her, letting her head fall to his chest. Jesse, walking up to Brennan, stopped and just stood there giving Brennan the biggest look ever. Brennan smirked and then squeezed her a bit tighter. Rolling his eyes Jesse turned back towards the motorcycle to check it out.
"Hey Jess, you ever planned on checking in with us here in Drunksville?" Shalimar asked through Jesse's comlink.
"Oh sure, right after we're ready to leave but, you could say we are waiting for the sun to finish fading away, or most likely for Brennan and Gwen to unhook!"
"What?" Shal exclaimed!
"Oh, um Gwen I think was worried that we wouldn't show up or something, so she gave Brennan a hug. I think it's more of a reassuring thing ya know? I mean no one intelligent would ever fall for his lines and I'm so much better looking than he ever could be."
"Right. so what's the deal? Emma and I think it's time for us to leave. The guys around here are fantastically drunk; they're hungry and we're on the menu!"
Laughing "Sure you two can start to head up here to pick us up but, it sounds like you are having a real party down there and I would hate to be the one to end it for you!"
"HA, HA, we will be right there."
Now with Brennan alone with Gwen, Jesse was alone with the bike.
Talking to himself "Ok let's see how this hunk of junk rides without me in the side car. Now where are those keys?"
"Uhum!" Since Brennan was facing Jess he could see what he was doing and so cleared his throat to get his attention. Jesse turned to see Brennan lift his arm up and dangle a set of keys. Jesse gestured that he would catch the keys but Brennan just shook his head and put the keys back in his pocket.
Eventually the sun disappeared leaving only twilight. The moon was full and produced a large dim light. Jesse glanced at his watch and said "Hey Brennan, you know Shal will be here any second now with the Helix. And you know Adam will want us to check in."
"Ya all right, in a minute" Brennan said. He then turned to Gwen and whispered "Hey, we need to get going, Ok?"
"I know." She said softly. "My stuff is right over here" and she walked over to her bike, in which all she had of worth, was placed in the front basket.
"Oh, Fearless Leader; who is going to take the bike back?" Jesse asked knowing Brennan would want to stay with Gwen.
"Sorry Jess, Shalimar has shot gun, but you could ride in the side car again if you want" Brennan said with a big smile.
"Yea right; I'm staying in the Helix this time!"
Then out of the dark night, just as they reached her bike, came a black SUV speeding up the road headed towards them. Gwen instantly was filled with fear and hid behind Brennan. She knew no one takes that road especially at night!
