Author's note: Well here's the next part. I know I know its been too long,
but I couldn't do anything, I needed to work for the summer, and now well I
got another job to get some money for next year (first year university),
I've also got school, and lots and lots of homework. I've got a busy life,
unfortunately, so my stories get screwed over.
Disclaimer: Even after all this time I still don't own then but shhhh it's our lil secret

My Family - Chapter 6
It had been two weeks since the crash that had changed everyone's life. The Mutant X team hadn't been able to rescue Brennan since they had been too busy dealing with another recent problem. A new group, called the Saviours, had surfaced. It consisted of 'normal' people who believed they had to protect humankind from freaks and mutations. They didn't understand these monsters, as they called them, so, like typical human beings, they had to destroy them. They hadn't gone public just yet since they feared that their ways wouldn't be accepted. For now, they were content on secretly capturing, experimenting, torturing and killing new mutants. They posed as a bigger threat then the GSA had ever did for the enhanced individuals since they were dead set on murdering all of them and not to mention in a vary painful way. Mutant X had been to the rescue as much as they could but they were all exhausted since the Saviours never stopped. When they did get some time off to plan Brennan's rescue a Saviour emergency would always come up before they could put it into action. They weren't alone in saving the new mutants though, the GSA weren't too happy with what the Saviours were doing. The problem was, after a new mutant was saved from that group, they would fall into the hands of the GSA. Either way the person was, lets just say, not in a good position.

Meanwhile Joshua had fully recovered from the physical trauma of the accident thanks to his newly acquired powers and the help of the Genomex's doctors. The second he was fit enough his father had sent him to be retrained as a GSA agent.
He still had problems controlling his powers so a teacher had been assigned to him. This teacher, Mr. Reid, had been renown for his capacity to teach even the people with the most overpowering abilities. Joshua had been told that Mr. Reid had once been his instructor. He didn't remember him but he did know that the moment he saw the man he didn't like him.
One of the new powers he had obtained was telepathy. It wasn't very strong, he still needed to work on it, and he didn't have it all the time but he had picked up that his dislike for Mr. Reid was also returned. However, his mind reading ability was the only thing that his father and the others didn't know about. He thought that maybe keeping them in the dark about this was a smart idea; he didn't know why, maybe instinct, maybe something else.
Aside form his telepathy and slight healing powers he had gained other powers, his original powers had mutated to the point where the electricity would burst out of his body in mere seconds without tiring him. The energy that he could produce was so potent that it could kill a human being instantly. Thankfully he hadn't killed anyone yet.
His other power that concerned electricity was his ability to control electrically powered machines, be it household appliances to high tech super computers. He was also able to manipulate earth's magnetic field; having this ability he could move objects without touching them.
Mr. Reid had once told him that everything was connected in some way and that he now had access to this connection, which he could use it to his own advantage. His discipline with Mr. Reid was hard and demanding, to say the least, but he had to admit that he had greatly improved concerning his control.
He also welcomed the physical work that the GSA training gave him as much as his time doing some meditation. Everything was going well except for the fact that he kept on seeing Emma's face in his thoughts and sometimes, just sometimes, he swore he could hear her calling out for him, but not by his real name, but by the name Brennan. And, for some reason, it felt right.
