Note: When this piece was written, I had not slept in 24 hours and just finished a Mutant X marathon, so excuse me.
EPISODE 1: A day in the life of Mutant X There is a thud. Then silence. Where did that sound come from? Who knows? Who cares? Shalimar just entered the dojo and Brennan quickly jumps up and fans away the air near his lower regions. "Ah.Brennan? What are you doing?" Shalimar looks at him quizzically while Brennan returns a sheepish grin. "I just ate some curry." Shalimar frowns. "That would explain the smell, but what about the noise?" She gives him a hard stare. Brennan puts his hands in his pockets and looks at his leather shoes and smiles. "When I heard you coming I got up in a hurry and fell over." He looks her in the eye, all innocent. "Yeah.I bet.." She turns away and walks towards the lab. Brennan fans the air some more, then follows at a discreet distance, for hygiene's sake. (In the lab) Shalimar pauses outside the door as she hears voices and has a sudden urge to do up her shoelace.she hears Emma's voice..while tying up her shoe..(doesn't she wear boots? Exactly.) "Adam.I have a problem." Emma slowly walks over to the lab bench where Adam is working. "I have come down with something.I think it is..oh I don't know what it is, that is why I came to you." Adam spins around. "Wow. That was fast." Says Emma in amazement. "Yes. It was fast. I was in the state Basketball team for 2 years." Adam replies. "I am impressed." Emma says in awe "That means a lot to me.." Adam stares at Emma, deep in to her eyes. "You know what?" Emma gazes back at Adam. "No, what? Tell me.." Adam pauses..keeping her warm gaze."Your fly is undone Emma. I suggest you do it up.." He slides his hand down Emma's arm.then spins around to face the door. "Shalimar?" Adam asks tentatively. "Are you in or out?" "If I was out Adam, I would be stroking Emma's arm right now, not you." Shalimar answered with bite. "I meant in the room Shalimar, but I am always interested to hear your sexual preferences." Brennan enters the room looking confused. "Did I miss something while I was..stabilising...um.the corridor." Adam spins again to Brennan. "What do you mean 'stabilise?'"? Adam said seriously. "Wow Adam, you really learnt a lot during your time on the national basketball squad." Shalimar piped up, subtly changing the subject. Brennan leans into Shalimar when Adam, after giving them both a searching gaze, turns back to Emma."Thanks Shal, I owe you one.." He whispered into her ear. "Don't you always?" And she too gazes deeply into his eyes..but this isn't about Brennan and Shalimar so who really cares.at that moment Jesse runs in with some big news, but is stopped in his tracks by the atmosphere in the lab. "Do I have BO? I mean, I am always the one who is left out and feeling like a spare wheel.its not fair you know..Jesse Kilmartin has feelings too!" And runs sobbing from the room. Emma turns to Adam looking worried. "Is this a form of mutation?" Adam stares after Jesse, then turns to Emma. "No. He is just showing the typical signs of PMS. Let him be, he will tell us his news in his own time. " Adam turns back to the work bench while the others look deeply confused. "Ahh.Adam?" Shalimar asked gingerly. "Jesse is a guy, which means he can't have PMS." Adam spins around to face Shalimar. ("Great speed and co- ordination." Brennan says in awe.) "Are you telling me that Jesse isn't showing signs of PMS? Not to sound rude or anything, but I went to College, at age 12, and you didn't. I am the Genius, you are all my lackeys." Turns to Emma." Except you sweet cheeks." Emma smiles. "You are my lab assistant." Emma frowns. "Listen Adam." Says Shalimar getting defensive and walks towards Adam menacingly.. .A few hours later during dinner. "So Jesse," Adam asks from his spot at head of the table. "What was your news?" Jesse looks up, a smile on his face. "So now you want to know??!" He asks with his chin wobbling. "No. He asked cos he loves the sound of his own voice." Brennan said sarcastically. "Well that's half true," Said Adam, "But I care about you guys a lot, and you are like my family to me, my everything, my life." They all yawn. "Yeah we know Adam, you tell us every night during dinner, when Jesse says his daily news." Said Shalimar with a bored expression. Jesse tells his news. "Well, this is what happened...I heard from a friend of a friend that..." .Later that night in the lab. That night, after Jesse's startling news, Brennan, Shalimar and Jesse go off on an assignment, while Emma and Adam stay behind to hold the fort. "I am so glad we got rid of those other 3 for the night." Said Adam, popping a champagne cork and staring deeply into Emma's eyes. "Well.Adam.so am I, for the moment.what are we going to do with all this spare time on our hands?" Emma returns Adam's intense gaze with longing. "You tell me Emma.." .The Next morning during.exercises. Jesse and Brennan are sparring. "OW! Brennan! That really hurt!" Jesse hits back at Brennan, but he dodges and laughs instead. Jesse gets angry. "Now boys, play nice." Says Shalimar walking up those steep stairs with no banister that any fool and his donkey could fall down. Can we say health and safety regulations? Jesse and Brennan back off smiling. "We were only kidding around Shal," Says Brennan with a big smile on his face. "I wonder what Emma and Adam got up to last night?" "That is none of your goddamned business Brennan," says Adam as he enters the dojo. He turns to Jesse. "How did the operation go last night?" Jesse walks down the stairs carefully, he doesn't want to trip, he has new shoes on. "It went well, thanks Adam. We managed to find the GS Agent with the radical new haircut and bring him firmly into line. He'll think twice now before getting a new haircut and thinking it will get past the attention of Mutant X." Shalimar and Brennan go "oh yeah." "We rock", "you tell it bro." And so forth. "So what did you and Emma get up to last night? We lost contact almost straight away." Shalimar gives Adam a curious look. Adam looks uncomfortable. "I can explain that." Says Emma as she glides into the room. "Last night we were finally alone and decided it was time.to go that one step further in our relationship." Emma walks closer with a smile on her face. Adam walks towards her. "Emma no, I don't think they want to hear this." But Brennan starts to grin. "Yeah we do!" He says enthusiastically. Emma looks at him and Adam glares. "Well.after long trepidation.we decided we had to do it. Right there and then." Emma continued. They all looked shocked. "You didn't!" Jesse cried. "In the lab?" Exclaimed Shalimar. "You did it?!?" Asked Brennan in surprise. "But why?" Emma turned to him. "Because we couldn't ignore the temptation do it." Emma finished quietly looking at Adam for support. "Its ok Em, you did good. I mean they have a right to know, they may even want to join in one day. " Adam said. Jesse looked shocked. "I am not that flexible." Shalimar was stunned. "All of us?! Can that be done?!" Brennan grinned. "Of course it can Shal, you can do it with up to 6 people at a time. Haven't you ever played Twister before?" There was a stagnant pause. "Err..no cannot say I have." Said Shalimar. Jesse opens his mouth like a fish. "I have to go now." Jesse and Shalimar begin to walk away, but Adam calls after them. "Jesse! How is your PMS going?" Adam asked concerned. Jesse pauses and turns around. "I am handling it Adam. It is totally under control." Tears well in his eyes as he walks away. Adam turns to the other confused three. "That goes for you all as well. Watch out for signs of PMS and tell me immediately." Brennan laughs. "Ah, Adam, I don't think I should need to worry in THAT department." He turns to Shalimar and grins. Adam looks at him deadly seriously. "You will need to worry Brennan when you get pre-mutating stress and do not know how to control your emotions." Loud wailing coming from Jesse's room. "Exhibit A." Adam turns to leave. "Oh by the way, are you all up for some twister tonight?" That day, the Sanctuary dash was broken in record time by two different people. Tune in for next time, when Jesse meets Eckhart face to face with some dire (and satirical) consequences.
