Alexia

Alexia didn't like being treated like she was some fragile piece of glass. She decided to play it cool with this guy. "Hello, Adam. So what's your role around here?" She asked him.
Adam smiled. "You're certainly direct. Well, I'm the leader of Mutant X. I sort of the father figure around here. Being a water mutant makes you very emotional." He told her.
Alexia laughed. "Listen thanks for helping me out. I just want to return to my place, my life. So now that I know I'm a mutant, I'll have to be more careful." She wasn't going to join no super hero team.
Adam tried pleading with her. "Alexia, you don't understand what's going on with your body. Your body is mutating. Not to mention the GSA is after you." Adam told her.
She was annoyed now. "What is it with you people and the GSA? Do you try and find new mutants on purpose? Please, I just want to live my life in peace." Alexia got up when Adam hit her and she landed on the floor.
Adam smiled. "In time, Alexia you will learn to defend yourself from that move and other moves. Now, listen to me, Alexia very carefully. I can help you out. Now, let's get you stabilized."
Alexia was really starting to hate being a mutant. "I guess it's better being with you guys rather than the GSA." She was still breathing hard from the way Adam hit her.

"Mrs. Reiber..." Mason Eckhart said in his usual cold voice. "I'm very disappointed in you. The GSA invested a lot of time and money into your training. Where is the new mutant now?" He stared right at her.
Lana Reiber was on the verge of tears. "Mutant X came and interfered with the operation, sir. I didn't expect it. Not to mention that she's a lot more advanced with her powers than we originally thought." She lied to him.
Eckhart then grinned at Lana Reiber. He was going to make her pay. She just knew it. He surprised her though. "Well how do you suppose that we retrieve this new mutant, Mrs. Reiber?" He asked her as though she were a child.
Lana Reiber didn't like failing. She had never failed. "I have an idea. Bring him in." She said on her phone. Two men a few minutes later brought in Kevin, all bloodied up. "This is Alexia's boyfriend, Kevin."
Eckhart pinched her cheek. "I've seen others use this ploy. Make sure it works or you'll end up there." He said pointing to the stasis chambers.
Lana smiled. "Oh, I will definitely succeed." Her voice was oozing with confidence.

Emma looked at Brennan and decided to approach him. "Penny for your thoughts, Brennan." She smiled at him.
Brennan looked at Emma. "My sister has never taken anything seriously. She loves her freedom. Adam and Eckhart are going to represent authority figures. My sister is really clever." Emma could sense the tension in his voice.
Emma then slowly began to rub his shoulders. "I think Alexia is going to have to make her own decisions, Brennan." She continued to rub his shoulders.
"Hmm, that feels good, Emma." Brennan muttered out loud. "I've just been so tense lately."
Emma felt for so bad for him. "Sometimes, family is all we have, Brennan. You have me as well." She whispered like a small wind. Emma didn't expect Brennan's next move.
Brennan grabbed her hand. "Have I ever told you that your more than just my best friend, Emma." Brennan grabbed her tightly and slowly kissed her gently at first, but then it turned real passionate.
