Chapter 6 - Don't I Know You?
Three Years Later. Blue Valley - South Dakota
Mutant X had been deployed to help a feral New Mutant child. Adam hadn't had much intelligence on the child or its family just that the US Government was after it. They landed the Double Helix on a roof top and cloaked it and the Mutant X team got out and headed in the last direction they had located the agents going in. They soon spotted the government agents and managed to get ahead of them and saw a woman with a small child and pulled them into an alleyway and pulled them back so they were hidden. "Are you okay, ma'am?" Jesse asked. The woman pulled her hood back and looked up at the Mutant X team and smiled. She looked at the four members that were just standing there quietly staring.
The fourth member, a man, who had short light brown hair and green eyes, looked confused. "What's going on?"
"Shalimar?" Brennan finally said not sure.
The little child looked up at the four people that were strangers. "Mama, who are these people?"
"Mama?" Jesse and Brennan said in unison and looked at the woman they once knew as Shalimar Fox.
Shalimar bent down and picked up the two and half year old child and pulled off her fuzzy hat to reveal short blonde curls. "Misa, this is Mutant X," Shalimar told her daughter.
"Mutant X, really?!" the little girl asked excited.
"Where's Adam?" Shalimar asked curiously.
"In the Double Helix," Emma answered now smiling.
"Wait! THIS is the FAMED Shalimar Fox?" the fourth Mutant X member asked a bit surprised.
"Let's get you two into the Helix," Jesse suggested. "Those agents won't give up THAT easily."
Double Helix
"Shalimar?!" Adam said amazed and immediately pulled her into his arms. Adam held her for a minute and then pulled back with a smile on his face, "what are you doing here?!"
"The agents were after Misa," Shalimar said and then picked up her daughter who had been hiding behind her. "She's feral," Shalimar explained. "You would have thought that since my New Mutant DNA is gone that she wouldn't be a New Mutant, but she is."
"Where's her father?" Brennan asked curiously.
"I don't know and I really don't care," Shalimar said with a bit of anger in her voice. "All I care about is Misa's safety."
"Misa? That's a very interesting name," Adam commented.
"It's short for Melissa."
"Mama?" Misa asked innocently.
"Yes, Miss?"
"Who's the stranger?"
"Who?" Shalimar asked confused.
"Stranger!" Misa said pointing at Mutant X's new fourth.
Shalimar smiled, "he's part of Mutant X."
"Nu uh."
"Yes he is," Adam interrupted.
"Nu uh."
"And why not?" Adam asked laughing at Misa's defiance.
"Because he's not in any of Mommy's pictures!"
"Really?"
"Uh huh," Misa said. "Mutant X people are Adam, Brennan, Emma, and Jesse," Misa said trying to make sure she remembered them all.
They all smiled and looked at Shalimar. "We missed you Shal'," Brennan said putting an arm around her.
"I've missed you guys too," Shalimar responded.
Corridor - Sanctuary
"She's so cute, Shal'," Brennan commented looking down at the sleeping child in her arms. Shalimar smiled. "I've missed that smile.and most of all you."
"I've really missed Sanctuary and all of you, too, Brennan."
"Come on, I'll show you to your room," Brennan offered.
"Okay, that sounds good."
Shalimar's Room - Sanctuary
Brennan stopped at Shalimar's old room and opened the door. He flipped on the light to reveal that nothing had changed. "I hope you don't mind staying here," Brennan said.
"No, it's perfect," Shalimar said entering her old room amazed that it hadn't changed. She laid Misa down on her bed and walked back over to Brennan, who was still standing at the door. "It hasn't changed?"
"No, we couldn't pack it away," Brennan explained. "We kept hoping that somehow you'd get your powers back and come back.we really didn't and still don't want to accept the fact that you're not here anymore."
"Well I am now," Shalimar said hugging Brennan.
Brennan pulled Shalimar to his chest and held onto her. He set his head on top of hers. "You know you don't have to leave."
"What about Misa?"
"She's your daughter, Shal', there's no way we're going to kick her or you out.you'd probably have to fight us to leave." Brennan kissed Shalimar's forehead. "I don't want you to leave, again."
"Why?"
Brennan kissed Shalimar's lips and then pulled back, "because I love you."
"Brennan, you haven't seen me in three years!" Shalimar said surprised.
"But you're still Shalimar Fox," he told her, "and I love you still."
"What about Misa?"
"What about her? She seems a lot like her mother."
Shalimar smiled, "I love you, too, Brennan."
Brennan pulled her back into his arms, "I'm not letting you leave. You belong here."
"Even if I'm not a New Mutant?"
"Sanctuary is your home, Shal'."
Shalimar smiled and kissed Brennan, "yes it is. And I'm happy to be home."
