Dear Diary

So Jesse and Lexa are out, Shal's beating the living day lights out of a punch bag, Brennan's sulking and Emma and Adam are in the lab. What a boring life I lead. I mean I don't get to go anywhere, I don't get to beat up bad guys and the only time I do leave (not that I'm complaining) is to see a film or do some other sort of "group" activity.

It's odd really. If I think about, how many other kids would love to have what I have, do what I do and so on. Oh well maybe it's just me being me. LOL. Oh how I wish that just once I could go out like the others do. I mean it's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo not fair.

Adam's pissed off again, I hate this gift. Lets see what is it this time. Ah yes the Dominion. Should have known. For some reason, Adam doesn't like them that much. Keeps feeling resentment and fear, no that's the wrong word, umm anger? No distrust, seems the best one. Seriously though, it's scary, The Dominion are I mean. They always want things done their way. And if not done their way then Puff consequences start being scattered around their overly dark room. Vampires.

Some good stuff has happened though. Christian asked me out. But shh it's a secret. Emma knows and Adam, but no-one else. Emma kinda sensed it out of me and Adam well it was either her or Jesse. Emma made me do a background check, but since neither of us has pass codes we didn't get very far.

Someone's coming

Emily

Brennan walked to Emily's room. He hadn't meant to read the text. Ok he had but she'd been sorta down recently. He'd been trying to see whether or not she had anything on there. But apart from a small encrypted file she had nothing of interest.

Reaching the door, he considered knocking or walking straight in. Deciding that since Emma knocked he should to, to inspire confidences and security. He knocked.

Emily rolled over on her bed. "Come in"

"Hiya, can I talk to you for a second?" Brennan sat on the end of her bed.

"Sure, what do you wana talk about?" Emily swung her self round so she was facing Brennan. hum maybe I should

"Don't even think about taking a little trip into my head. Emma's been teaching me how to keep you out."

"Aww your no fun. So what di9d you want to talk about?"

"Several things, first and foremost, why wasn't I told you had a boyfriend? Emily?"

Emily blushed, how the hell was she gonna explain that he was a little over protective when it came to her and other people. "Well You can be a little bit protective and how did you know, did Emma tell you?"

"I am not over protective" Brennan face broke into a grin. Emily gave him the "look of death". "Ok maybe just a little." Emily laughed. "And as to how do I know well this" he held up the phone helped there"

"You went through my phone? How could..?" Emily was cut short

"Hey let me explain myself before you start attacking me. Look me and your sister and everyone else have been worried about you. You spend all your time here alone. Pretending to be asleep when actually according to your sister your upset. You don't come out to meals and you go wondering in the middle of the night. See why We're all a bit worried"

Emily sighed. "Look I'm just having a hard time dealing with my powers. Their growing faster than I can control them, and you know it's hard."

"Emily, Brennan, would you mind coming to sanctuary's main computer please. Now!!!" Adam's voice echoed over Brennan's comlink.

"Common little bit"

Emma looked at Adam, he looked stressed, worried and annoyed. He felt worse. God why can he have barriers up when I want him to not when he wants to

"'cos sis that would take the fun out of it" Emily smiled at her sis.

Shal joined them looking hot but happy, Lexa, Jesse and Adam were all already there.

"So we have a new mission. This is X56V43, a rather nasty little virus that kills just about anything, except for new mutants"

"Surprise surprise"Jesse said.

"Irony aside, it's a controlled substance, only one veil in the world, kept here." A picture of a warehouse appeared on the screen. " It's Dominion run, but guess what"

"They slipped up and let it get stolen and now they need mutant x's help to get. About right?"

"Exactly Lexa. You all will be going under cover to this auction. The idea being to exchange the real veil for this harmless one. Only problem is guest list is already decided on, and there's going to be a screening process that detects new mutants."

"Adam, how exactly do we get in then? Waiters?"

"No your going to be guests. I've already changed these people's photos to yours. And Emily's gonna get you in."

"Wait a second how is she going to get us in?" Emma's face was as whit as a sheet and Brennan was having to almost hold her up. In there turn everyone else looked shocked and angry that Adam was going to send Emily a teenager into a situation where she might get injured or killed.

"Emily you can fool computer scanners right?" Emily just nodded she did not like the feeling and thoughts going round the room. "Then there you go. Here's you mission briefs. You have two hours before you have to leave. Oh and it's a black tie event."

please review, I get sad otherwise.
