Lana Reiber smiled at Shalimar. "Mr. Eckhart will probably give me a promotion for also bringing in a member of Mutant X."
Shalimar laughed, "You have to beat me, before boasting about your victory." She told the woman.
Alexia ducked the punch. "Now, come on, we can certainly work this out. I just don't want to work for you guys." Alexia then kicked the guy in his stomach and he fell down the stairs. Alexia then got zapped.
"Hey..." Jesse's voice shouted out loud. The rest of Mutant X had arrived and not a moment too soon.
Alexia thought she heard her brother's voice say; "That's no way to treat my sister." She didn't understand what was happening.
She saw all the scumbags go down. Alexia heard a female voice, "Brennan, your sister and the rest of us should get out of here now before the GSA comes back."
"Okay." Her brother said picking her up.
"Brennan..." Alexia said knowing she was safe for now.

A few hours later, Alexia woke up in an orange room. She didn't understand what was happening to her. Frankly, she wanted to know where she was exactly.
Then she heard a pair of footsteps coming towards the room. She pretended to be sleeping.
She then heard her brother talking with someone. "Emma, what do you think my sister's reaction will be to the fact that she's a new mutant."
"I think..." The woman known as Emma said to him, Alexia thought to herself. "That she's very awake and listening to us now."
Alexia opened up her eyes and smiled at him. "Hi brother. Wish I could say it was nice to see you again." She batted her big brown eyes at him.
Emma then whispered into Brennan's right ear. "I'll leave the two of you alone." She then slowly gave him a peck on the cheek.
Brennan looked at his sister sternly. "So, how do you feel, Alexia?"
Alexia grinned at her brother. "Hmm, a little sore. Being zapped was not fun. I see that you have a new girlfriend." She giggled.
Brennan was a little stunned. "Emma is not my girlfriend, Alexia. She's one of my best friends and teammates." He told his little sister.
Alexia smirked. "Yeah, right. It didn't look that way to me, Brennan." She told her brother.
Brennan knew that Alexia was avoiding the issue. "You always did know to duck the questions, Alex. So when did your new mutant abilities start showing up, little sis?" Brennan asked Alexia.
Alexia didn't like the term new mutant., it made her feel like an outsider. "Oh, the water from my hands you mean. Well my hands started shooting water out of them like six months ago in school. I got expelled from school because of it. Mom and Dad well disappeared and left me all alone." She told her brother.
Brennan's jaw dropped about three inches. This was not what he wanted to hear. "Alexia, you got expelled. Oh, you are definitely going back to school." He didn't like being the responsible one.
Alexia rolled her eyes. "My God, Brennan. When did you get so serious about things? Besides, I've been living on my own for a while. I have a job now." She told her brother.
"Alexia, don't give me that bullshit. I feel that you don't take things seriously in life. This is something that is very serious." Brennan hated arguing with his little sister.
Then she saw a man with brown curly hair come in. "Brennan, I see that your sister has woken up. Hello, Alexia, I'm Adam. This is Mutant X."
Alexia liked this guy. He seemed really nice. "What is Mutant X? What is the GSA?"
Brennan didn't like this way his sister was treating this. Adam then put his shoulder. "I think me and Alexia need to talk alone. You two will have many more chances to catch up with one another."
He was disappointed, but Alexia was going to be hard to control. His gut feeling was telling him that this whole situation was going to end badly.

Shalimar saw Emma's face. "Emma, what's wrong?"
Emma looked at her friend. "I look at Brennan and I feel that he's so upset with himself."
Shalimar then whispered, "Brennan needs your friendship Emma. His sister is what you would call a free spirit. She's also very scared right now."
Emma laughed. "How very true. I remember that feeling when I first met the three of you."
Shalimar then smiled. "Yeah, but look at how well that has turned out. Alexia will not be a problem once she accepts this part of herself."
Emma gave Shalimar a half smile. "Yes, but I worry about Brennan. I fear that Alexia is going to be on his mind. She seems like someone who is troubled and is going to have a tremendous impact on Brennan's life."
Shalimar nodded her head. "You have feelings for him, don't you Emma? Tell him how you feel." She told her friend.
"What if he...doesn't want anything more that friendship from me?"
Shalimar then said. "You don't know unless you tell him, Emma. What have you got to lose?"
Emma then cried. "My heart."
