Mutant X
"The World's Greatest"
Chapter 1
I am a mountain, I am a tall tree, oh
I am a swift wind sweepin' the country
I am a river down in the valley, oh
I am a vision and I can see clearly
If anybody asks you who I am
Just stand up tall
Look 'em in the face and say
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the world's greatest
I am a giant, I am an eagle, oh
I am a lion, down in the jungle
I am a marchin' band, I am the people, oh
I am a helping hand, I am a hero
The members of Mutant X were just hanging out in Sanctuary after having to deal with Gaberiel Ashlock. Adam was in his lab like always, Brennan and Shalimar were talking together in the garden area, and Jesse and Emma were having a snack. It had been a week since they had been out in the field. Adam had tried to keep all of them at Sanctuary. He didn't want to give Gaberiel a chance to nab Shalimar again or any of the others.
_______________________________________________________________
In the lab Adam was running computer simulations on the last sample he had collected from Gaberiel before he was put in a stasis pod. He was trying to find a flaw...a weakness...anything. Anything that would keep the four children he was connected to safe. Jesse, Shalimar, Brennan, and Emma were like his children and he wasn't about to let the first New Mutant that he helped create at Genomex destroy the lives of the people he loved. He would keep looking until he found something...anything...

"So what do you think about this whole Adam thing?" Brennan asked Shalimar.
"What Adam thing?" Shalimar asked confused.
"The thing sbout Adam made the stasis pods and the subdermal governors."
"So, he did it to keep Gaberiel from hurting anyone, he didn't know that Eckhart was going to take over Genomex and use them against any New Mutant he could get his hands on," Shalimar explained.
"I know, it's just weird."
"Why?"
"Because...I don't know it just is. Sometimes I wonder what life would be like..."
"Without our powers?"
"Sometimes."
"I thought about it seriously once."
"Yeah."
"And it would be weird not being a New Mutant. Brennan, what's wrong?"
"Me. I shouldn't have let Gaberiel take you..."
"Brennan, you did your best."
"Did I?"
"I'm fine."
"I could have killed Emma when she came with me to see Matty Conlan, remember."
"Brennan. Stop!...We're fine," Shalimar said taking his face between her hands and making him look strait at her. "I'm fine. Emma's fine." Shalimar kissed Brennan gently, and Brennan put his hand behind her head and pulled her in for a deeper kiss. Just then, Shalimar went limp in Brennan's arms.

Jesse and Emma were snacking on some strawberries when they heard Brennan yell for help. They quickly rushed to the garden area where they found Brennan holding a lifeless looking Shalimar. "What happened?" Jesse asked.
"She just went limp. I don't know what happened."
"Let's get her to the lab," Emma suggested.
Brennan cradled Shalimar in his arms and headed quickly to the lab with Emma and Jesse following close behind. When they entered the lab Brennan laid Shalimar down on the examining chair. They found Adam asleep at his consol. "Adam, wake up," Emma waking Adam up.
"What happened?" Adam asked quickly.
"Nothing, she just collapsed," Brennan explained.
"WHAT were you DOING when or rather before she collapsed?"
"We were just talking and then..."
"Then what?"
"We kissed," Brennan told him and immediately received looks from all of them.
"Let's start scans, Emma."
