Simon shook his head as he watched his sister continue to tease Jayne. Admittedly the man was more than he had let on, as proven by his ability to match his sister in the battle of wits that was being demonstrated to them all. From what little he could follow they seemed to be debating the merits of various historical figures. History had never been Simon's own area of interest, but as with physics and most subjects, River had always been fascinated by the people and events that were deemed important.

Prior to the return to Jayne's homeworld, Simon would have bet that Jayne didn't even know anything more historical then weaponry or the whores he'd made use of. But this Janus. . . Janus was a new monster. One that worried Simon in ways Jayne never could. A man with an intellect that was at least equal to his own (he'd tried reading Jayne's master thesis, but had been lost in the process) but with the mannerisms and behaviour he'd grown to . . . well, grown to hate.

"I just don't understand." He stated, turning away from the disturbing but heart lifting scene of his sister acting as normal as she'd been pre-Academy. "Why is she so focussed on that ape?"

Kaylee sighed and set down the cortex filled with engine schematics outlining in detail the new heart being planted in her baby's body. "Simon, it's real sweat that the way you look after River, but you gotta relax. She's not a little girl. It's only natural she's gonna wanna spend time with a boy, expecially if she's knowing that you – the only real parental figure she knows- doesn't approve. And Jayne ain't never been as bad as ya been thinkin'. He's likely the only person she'll ever know that can match her physically and keep her mind busy and interested. She's of age to make her own decision. And if she's ready to explore a bit, there ain't no harm. He's spent his life pushing others away, specially since the Vera-Narra thing. If River ever manages to break his shell and then something happaned to her, I think he'd break. And God help anyone who hurt her or tried to stop him from getting even."

The Creed estate on Genosha was the single largest remaining plot of non-industrialized land on the surface of the three continents. It covered a mass of land equal to that of North America from Earth that Was. This was roughly 1/3 of the largest continent. Genosha's surface was mostly ocean, with 3 continents. The largest, the home of the higher ups of Magneto's Brotherhood, was called New America, the 2nd was known as New Eurasia, and the third was called New Afrikkana. New America was half again the size of North and South America combined, while New Eurasia was roughly the size of the Asian landmass, and New Afrikkana was nearly the equal to the Africa of Earth that was. Aside from these continents there were a few dozen islands of a size to Greenland and similar sized landmasses from the original home of mankind.

Most of the surface had been converted to cities or industrial spaces. Genosha was well endowed with natural minerals, and a variety of oceanic wildlife. Earth species had adapted well to the conditions of the world and thrived. The population survived on the bounty from the seas and vast hydroponic gardens to grow the trickier species of earth vegetation and animal life. There were several areas declared as open hunt zones for those of the population who'se particular mutations made hunting either a neccessity of survival or a means of release to remain 'civilized' among the masses of people.

The Creed lands supported the largest variety of wildlife and climates. Yet it was also the only private reserve on the planet. No one not of the Creed bloodline was allowed on the planet, and trespassing was punishable by Death. The Creed's were not the largest clans on Genosha, due mostly to their inherit antisocial nature. They were one of the few families who's abilities were almost always bred through. They were also one of the wealthiest families, owning large portions in various businesses on the world. They were also well known as the premier assasins in operation.

Currently the head of the family was holding a meeting with 4 of the most dangerous individuals in the clan. Carl stared out at the members of his familes, none of who he felt any sense of kinship towards. Each was an accomplished killer and had made at least one attempt to take his position as head of the family. Each had been punished for the attempt. Well, not the attempt really, but for their own incompetance and failure. He might have felt pride if one had managed to succeed. Each lowered their heads, demonstrating their weakness before him. All save the last, the only female among them.

Catrina was the most anamalistic of the family gathered today. She was covered in a light tan fur, her face more catlike then human. Her legs were built along a feline's as well and waiving in the air behind her was her tail, with the puff of fur. Even with these features, she was without a doubt one of the most attractive females he had seen, and if it wasn't for the fact that she'd gut him for the attempt, he would have taken her for his mate years ago.

"There has been word from our agents on Greymalkin. The son of Logan, Janus, has returned. He brought a ship that our friends in the Alliance have been seeking. And on that ship is the fruits of their experiments into creating a fellow mutant. However it seems that our friends underestimated the spread of the mutant gene. The girl who escaped was a mutant. Some kind of psychic. She has been enhanced with the DNA taken from members of our pride and that of our enemies to be the peak of mutant perfection. We are going to make an attempt to regain our lost interest. You four are going to Greymalkin. You will seek out the targets Janus, the crew of the vessel Serenity, and the girl River Tam. Take out any who oppose you, but I want Janus and the girl brought to me. Our psych bretheren should be able to break the girl to her training. And Janus, well Janus and I have an old score to settle." He waited for them to state their agreement, and then he pointed to Catrina. "You will lead the mission. These three are under your command. I want this to go smoothly, with no witnesses or proof of our involvement. Our agents on Greymalkin will provide you all the supplies and assistance you might need."

"I will do as you command, Master." Catrina said with a purr. She would relish the chance to match her abilities against their ancestral enemies. The four turned to go, tree of them throwing hostile looks at their appointed leaders.

"Oh, before you go, one last thing." They turned to the clan leader. "If you succeed, you will be named my second in command. If you fail, you will be placed in the breeding penns."

Catrina's eyes narrowed. She had sterilized herself in such a way that even her healing ability could not repair. Being sent to the penns would be a means to make her a whore for the males of the pride. Something that for her was a fate worse then death. She loathed the touch of males and would gladly castrate them all but she knew that she would not have the chance. She could not afford to fail. She would not fail. She would succeed or ensure she died in the attempt. She was predator and would not allow herself to become a frail.

so I hope you enjoyed it and looking forward to more. Currently going through a . . . takeover of sorts at work and we aren't accomplishing much, meaning that there is more time to write. Hopefully I'll have the time and inspiration to update more often for this and all my stories.
