Summary: Shalimar and Brennan's baby is born, but it has a strange ability that intrigues Eckhart into devising a plan to kidnap the child. Only the very protective parent won't give up their child without a fight. My suggestion is that who might want to read Who's the Daddy before you read this story.

Chapter 8: Good and Bad
TWO YEARS LATER: MAINEA knock came on Fox's office door followed by Sydney's six-year-old head poking in. "Grampy can I ask you a question?" She said softly.
"Sure Sydney, come on in." Fox replied waving her in towards his desk.
Sydney slowly walked over and eased her way into one of the chairs in front of his desk. "What are Genomex and Mutant X?" Sydney asked trying not to push her grandfather's buttons.
"When did you hear about them?" Fox asked her with an angry tone.
"Well I heard you and uncle Mason talking about it one day and some other people," Sydney explained sheepishly.
Fox took a deep breath. "Genomex or the GSA are the good guys, and Mutant X is the bad guys." Fox lied, but his granddaughter shook her yes in replied that she understood. "When you're old enough uncle Mason wants you to go work for him, that's why he sent you those games to play."
"You mean I could play those games all the time," Sydney said excitedly.
"Yes! All the time," Fox said seeing the sparkle in Sydney's eyes.
"YEAH! I want to go right now," Sydney whined.
"When you're sixteen you can go," Fox told her.
Sydney was disappointed but understood that she wasn't like other kids that you saw on TV.
"Why am I different?"
Fox was caught off guard by her next abrupt question. "Ah, well. You see there are many kids like you but with different powers."
"Like what?" Sydney asked curiously.
"Well there are Ferals and Elementals like yourself, but then there's Psionics and Moleculars." Fox tried to explain.
Sydney nodded her head yes like she understood, but she really didn't. "Oh."
"Did that answer your question?" Fox asked her.
Sydney smiled. "Yeah, I guess so." Sydney stood up and left the room leaving Fox to his work.
Once Sydney left Fox contacted Eckhart. "Yes?" Eckhart asked once his face came on the screen.
"Sir, Sydney just came and asked me what Genomex and Mutant X were and what powers there were." Fox told him.
"What did you tell her?" Eckhart asked.
"That Genomex was good and Mutant X was bad. She wants to come work for you." Fox explained.
"Good, I'll need her in a few years." Eckhart replied.
"Are you getting far in her DNA codes?" Fox asked wanting to know if he had created more mutants with an accelerated growth hormone.
"The blood and data you have sent if very helpful, but it takes a long time to process it." Eckhart explained.
"Good." Fox explained then the screen went blank.
THE SANCTUARY"Mommy are you in here?" Devon asked opening the door to the rec. room, but it was empty. He turned around and ran up the stairs to check his parent's room. "Mommy?" He asked again wondering where his mom was. He went down the stairs and headed to the lab. The door slid open and Devon found Adam sitting at one of the computers. Devon made his way over to Adam. "Uncle Adam have you seen my mom or dad?"
"Yeah I sent them out with Emma, and Jesse." Adam explained. "Why?"
"Oh, nothing." Devon said taking a seat besides Adam. Devon paused as he watched Adam work on the computer. "Why do you send them out, and they come back looking tired and bruised?"
Adam looked at Devon with a surprised look; he didn't think he would pick up on those things. "Well Devon, I send them out to go help people that are being hunted by some bad people." Adam told him.
"The GSA right and we are Mutant X?" Devon asked.
"Right! How did you hear about it?" Adam asked wondering how he knew about the GSA.
"I heard mommy and daddy talking about it one night, when they thought I was asleep." Devon confessed.
Adam couldn't help but laugh and he scuffed up Devon's short dirty blonde hair. Devon smiled then heard the back door to the lab open. "They're back!" He announced standing up.
"I didn't hear anything." Adam replied.
"You're not mostly Feral, Uncle Adam." Devon said with a giggle.
"True!" Adam said to him. Soon the four waltzed into the lab from the back, looking all worn-out.
"MOMMY!" Devon screeched as he jumped up and ran over to his mother. Shalimar face lit up when she saw her son running towards her. She bent down and opened up her arms, which her son ran into. She lifted him up and tightened her embrace; everything bad seemed to disappear when she was near him.
"Hey sweetie, I missed you." Shalimar said snuggling her son close to her.
"I missed you too mommy." Devon answered hugging her tightly. He then looked over and saw his dad walking up to them. "Daddy!" Devon said excitedly.
"Hey kiddo." Brennan said giving his son a kiss on the head.
"So did you get the bad guys?" Devon asked curiously.
"Yeah honey we got the bad guys." Shalimar answered giving Devon's cheek a kiss.
"Hey!" Devon said disgusted as he wiped off his cheek. Shalimar just laughed. Devon smiled at her. "Can we go do some training?" Devon asked.
"Yeah later tonight." Shalimar replied.
"YEAH, because I want to go next time with you?" Devon announced.
Shalimar snickered. "When your sixteen you can."
"AHH man." Devon groaned.
