Mutant X "Generations of Adam"
Chapter 1 - Where have all of the children gone?
Sanctuary
"I'm going to be out for a while," Adam told the Mutant X team as he headed for the garage.
"Where are you going?" Shalimar asked curiously.
"To meet a contact."
"Well, shouldn't one of us go with you?"
"The contact is an old friend of mine, I'll be fine. I'll call you if I need you," Adam told Shalimar trying to assure her that he'd be fine on his own. Adam left Sanctuary in one of the silver cars.
New Hope Hospital - Pediatrics ICU
"How's she doing?" Adam asked one of the nurses as he stared through a glass window into the room of a little girl who was unconscious. She was about ten or eleven with light brown medium length hair and pale skin.
"She's not improved, but her condition hasn't worsened. I'm afraid there hasn't been any change, Mr. Kane," the nurse said sadly.
"I miss her," he said touching the glass in front of him gently.
"Well, there's always hope, Mr. Kane."
"Not much, it seems.she's been in here for five years like this.unchanged."
"I pray for her every night," the nurse admitted.
"Thank you."
Sanctuary
When Adam returned to Sanctuary, the Mutant X team was watching Proxy Blue. "There have been several child abductions reported.and it's just not in one place, it's all over."
"What's going on?" Adam asked hearing what Proxy Blue had said.
"The children that have been abducted," Shalimar started. "They're all New Mutants."
"Parents have been calling since you left," Emma told him.
"They don't know by who, or where they were taken.they just know that they're gone," Jesse explained.
"Even Catherine's missing, Adam," Shalimar said.
"And so is Josh Valentine," Brennan added.
"I need someone to contact all New Mutant parents, even if their children show no sign of New Mutantcy. I want to hold a meeting at the Santarios Safehouse tonight at 7pm."
"I'll start contacting parents," Emma said.
Santarios Safehouse
Adam and the others were at the safehouse early. Adam had been panicking all day and all his worrying was about to be confirmed. When the parents arrived, they were all crying and were asked to fill out an information sheet on their children. When the night was over they had found out that all children born os at least one New Mutant parent had been taken. Emma and Jesse collected the paperwork from the parents while Brennan stood guard outside making sure the parents made it to their cars okay. Shalimar, however stayed behind, she could tell that Adam needed someone to talk to. "Adam?"
"Not right now, Shalimar," Adam told her as he sat down and put his head in his hands.
"Adam, please." she told him sitting down next to him. He looked up at her, "just please, talk to me."
"About?" Adam asked obviously getting more and more upset.
"About what's upsetting you so much."
"You have to ask?! Shalimar, I've let down my children!"
"You mean the children of Genomex?"
"Yes! The first generation of New Mutants. They've lost their children because of me!"
"You don't know that, Adam."
"And worst of all."
"What?"
"Nevermind."
"Adam, I know you're upset about something OTHER than the children being taken, so why don't you just tell me?"
"Because I can't," Adam told her sadly.
"Adam? Don't you trust me?"
"Oh! Shalimar, I DO trust you.with my life, you KNOW that. But it's not an issue of trust."
"YES it is. If you trust me, then you'll tell me."
"Shalimar."
"Please."
"There's someone who I haven't told you about." Adam told her.
"Who?"
"A New Mutant child, one who hasn't been taken."
"Do you have the child hidden?"
"Not exactlty. Shalimar, I.have a daughter."
"A daughter? Why didn't you ever tell me you had a daughter?!"
"I.I.I don't know.probably because she's been in a coma for the past five years."
"I'm so sorry, Adam."
"She 's a second generation New Mutant."
"What is she?"
"A feral."
"Are you married, too, Adam?" Shalimar asked curiously.
"My wife, Leslie, died shortly after our daughter fell into the coma. She was a feral, and her DNA was breaking down too rapidly for anything I did to help."
Shalimar looked down, "how old is your daughter? I mean, you haven't even said her name."
"She'll be eleven in three days.and her name is Alissa."
"What happened?"
"Happened?"
"How did she fall into a coma?"
"She just didn't wake up one morning."
"Adam, even if she's in a coma, she's in a coma, she might be taken."
"I know. I've been thinking about that."
