THE NEXT DAY….
"Come on Bren" whined Lennon "Teach me to fight"
"No,"
"I can… hmm" replied Lennon as she scanned his mind for something he couldn't do "Teach you to dance"
"Stop doing that" said Brennan "My mind is off limits"
"Sure thing dad. Just can't believe you can't dance. Certainately ruins your uber smooth image"
"I can't believe you just said Uber" laughed Brennan.
"Emma likes to dance," said Lennon smiling evilly.
"What?"
"Nothing" she replied whistling as she walked away.
Brennan thought about Emma. Her bright blue eyes, her kind smile, her strength and her compassion. She was his best friend, had been since they had come to Mutant X at the same time. He smiled and ran after Lennon.
Emma ran the halls of Sanctuary searching for Brennan; they had found something that may concern Lennon. She soon heard soft music playing in one of the back training rooms. That's where she found them. Lennon gently helping Brennan learn a simple waltz. Emma lifted her hand to her mouth and giggled softly when Brennan stumbled.
"Hey Em" said Lennon giggling, "What's up?"
"Brennan, Adam wants to talk to you," replied Emma winking at Lennon.
"Okay"
Emma sat down on a mat they used to train. Lennon plopped down next to her.
"Can I ask you something?" She asked.
"Sure" replied Emma.
"You Like Brennan, don't you?"
"Me?"
"Yes, you"
"Yeah, a little"
Lennon looked at her knowingly.
"Okay, a lot"
Brennan walked into the lab smiling. He had so much fun with Lennon, It was odd, he had only known her for a day but he felt fiercely protective of the young girl. That's why it unnerved him to see Adam frowning as he looked at the Genomex files they had downloaded.
"What's up?" he asked cautiously.
"Eckhart has sent his top agents out, their looking for what he calls "The One". One with Natural powers so strong, that no new Mutant would be able to defeat this person"
"Lennon? That's impossible. The GSA agents nearly killed her"
"You know as well as I, Bren, that a young person has yet to develop their powers. So that wouldn't exclude her from attack"
"So, Eckhart wants her. So he can train her to kill us?"
"I don't know. You, Shalimar, Emma and Jess are going to go to the Club where the GSA agents usually are and see if you can find something out"
Lennon laid back on Brennan's bed. He had graciously sacrificed his room for her. God, these painkillers really knock you out, she thought as she slipped into a deep sleep.
Blood, deep maroon, spread across the front of Brennan's white shirt. He staggered and dropped to the floor of the club. Emma sobbed over him, her delicate face marred by bruises.
Brennan was the first to hear Lennon scream. He ran up the stairs to find her lying on the bed sobbing.
"Lennon, sweetie, what's wrong?" he asked hugging her.
"I dreamed you died," she whispered.
"Oh Len, It was only a dream"
"No, you don't understand." She gasped, "My dreams are Prophetic"
"I'll be fine," he said tilting her face to him "I promise"
She hugged him.
"I hope so" she whispered. "I hope so"
Aww, I like my Lennon.
