Memories
Author's Note: This is my second
Mutant X fan-fic and I would appreciate anything you
had to say. I started writing this story months ago
but stopped when I ran out of ideas. I decided to put it up and if I get people
wanting me to finish it then I will. I've written a few more chapters which
will hopefully be up soon, after that it will depend on what you people think
as to whether I will continue. So it would be gratefully appreciated if you
would please read and review.
Disclaimer: I do not own any characters from Mutant X. The only characters I do
own are Alisa, Mary-Anne and Doctor Parker.
Rating: PG, because
there's some fighting. (As I'm still in the process of writing this fan fiction
the rating may change later on.)
Summary: Mutant X encounters a Telempath
whose mutating powers puts them in danger and threatens their safety from the
GSA. (I don't want to give too much away, so please
just read the story for yourself.)

Part One:
Friday Night, Felix Club
Brennan stood on one side of the bar trying to act cool. The place was crowded and it was hard for Brennan to see any further than a few feet in front of him. The speakers were blazing with some dance song so the floor was crowded with people. Brennan took another sip of his drink and then glanced around the room checking to see if something was happening. Adam had learned from his taps on Genomex that they were making a move on a possible new mutant so Brennan and Shalimar had been sent to the Felix Club , where everything was supposed to happen, in order to prevent it. Brennan glanced at his watch, noting that it was almost 11.00, and groaned. He was about to report in with Adam when he saw four men enter the club through the side entrance. They were all wearing black suits and after looking around the club started making their way intently through the crowd.
Sighing Brennan brought his com-link ring to his mouth and started to speak into it. "Shalimar. I'm over by the bar, four GSA agents just entered. They're heading your way and whoever they're here for they seem to have spotted them."
"I see them Brennan. They're moving fast towards the back exit by the toilets. Whoever they're chasing must have gone out that way. I'm going to follow them. Meet you round the back." Shalimar replied.

Outside the Felix Club
When Brennan reached the ally round the back he found Shalimar in the middle of banging two agents' heads together. Two more agents were lying unmoving on the ground and five more were getting out of a van that had just pulled up.
Brennan jumped immediately at the nearest of the five agents and took him out with a kick to the chest and a punch in the face. Shalimar pounced on two more, her eyes glowing yellow as she let her feral instincts take over.
Brennan looked around for the last two agents and saw them place the body of a girl into their van. Without thinking Brennan brought his hands together, moving them in a circulatory motion a spark of electricity appeared. When he had produced enough energy, he sent it in to two directions hitting both the GSA agents in the back and sending them down.
Brennan signaled to Shalimar to get the car from out front while he checked the girl's vital signs.
She couldn't have been more than 20 years old. She had long blond hair and was wearing a pair of denim trousers and a denim jacket.
As Brennan moved to place his hand on her throat, her eyes snapped open and she starred at Brennan with fear in her eyes.
"Don't touch me!" She screamed fearfully at Brennan as she knocked his hand away from her.
Brennan tried to calm her down but she kept shrinking away from his touch. "Just leave me alone. I don't need your help. Just get away from me. Please" she begged fearfully.
"It's okay I'm here to help. My friend and I took care of the guys who attacked you, but more will come. You have to come with us, you have to trust us." Brennan said gently, wondering what was taking Shalimar so long.
The girl looked around confused and then stood up pushing past Brennan. "No I told you I'm fine and I don't need your help. Just leave me alone." she said, looking at Brennan as she moved past him. In her haste she tripped on a loose piece of pavement and tumbled towards the ground.
Brennan reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her to her feet. Her hand connected with his and suddenly his senses became overrun with images and feelings that rushed through him so quickly he couldn't identify any of them. The images and feelings were like blows to his head, he felt himself growing weaker.
Suddenly it was like the transference was going both ways, he felt as if somebody was drawing something from him. He tried to break his grip with the girl's hand but he couldn't make his hand move. He heard the girl scream in pain just as the rush of information stopped flowing. He broke away from her weakly and collapsed to the ground.

One day later at sanctuary………
Brennan woke up to sound of heated whispers nearby. He couldn't distinguish any of the voices and he struggled to open his eyes. He gave a hiss of pain as he moved his head, only now noticing the killer headache he had. Immediately he felt a hand on his shoulder and the concerned voice of Emma telling him to lie still. He looked at Emma's concerned face and gave a weak smile.
"I'm fine." He said groggily as he noticed that Adam, Shalimar and Jesse were also in the room with the same worried expressions on their faces.
"Where's the girl, is she okay?" Brennan asked struggling to ignore his headache. Emma sensing that he was in pain immediately went and retrieved a syringe from the side table and injected Brennan with the pain killer. Brennan signed in relief as the drug took almost immediate effect.
"When Shalimar returned to the alley the girl was gone and you were lying on the alleyway floor unconscious. She brought you back here so we could take care of you." Adam smiled down at Brennan and then continued. "Now the girl in the alley left her purse behind so we able to run her name through the New Mutant Database. Her name is Alisa Brockhelm and she's a telempath like Emma. Now we checked her apartment out but there was no one there so we're looking through the computer for information on any past addresses. I don't think it'll be too long before we find her."
"Come on Adam." Shalimar stormed angrily glaring at him as she spoke. "You want us to go and help this girl after what she did to Brennan! Whatever it was you said it yourself, she could have killed him."
Adam started to reply when Brennan interrupted him.
"It was an accident. She didn't mean to do it. She…She warned me." Brennan said softly as he remembered what had happened.
"What do you mean she didn't mean to do it?" Adam asked. "What happened?"
Brennan answered as best he could; describing the weird feelings that assaulted his senses when he'd touched her. When he had finished Adam looked at him thoughtfully.
"I've heard of some Telempaths who can not only read a person's emotions but can read their memories. It's possible that Alisa's could be one of them and that her power is mutating. It sounds like now whenever she touches somebody, she absorbs their memories and feelings. That was what was happening when you said that you felt like something was being drawn out of you."
"Wait, if she absorbed Brennan's memories then she'll know everything that he does. If the GSA get a hold of her it'll be over. She'll be able to tell them where we are and the location of the safe houses." Emma said worry etched on her face.
Adam and Shalimar exchanged worried looks.
"We'd better find Alisa quickly and hope that she's not on Eckhart's side or else we're history." Adam said. He then turned to look at Shalimar. "You'd better go help Jesse with his search of the computer."
Shalimar nodded and quickly left the room, followed closely by Adam, leaving Brennan and Emma alone.
