Disclaimer: We do not own any of Mutant X or its characters, no matter how
much we wished we did. Only Nora and Melissa are our original characters.
This a work of collaboration. It could not have been written without our group's immeasurable talents. We hope everyone enjoys our story :) Also, don't forget to R&R!
To See Within
Nora Ireland couldn't believe her rotten luck. Her lungs burned and she forced her legs to just a little bit faster. She hadn't expected this to happen. Nora had finally been able to contact someone in the Underground and had scheduled a meeting. She had gone to the meeting full of confidence, but the GSA must have been tapping her call. Next thing she knew, these three suits were there and now they were chasing her.
She wondered what had happened to the guy she was supposed to meet. Nora hoped fervently that he hadn't been caught. It was bad enough that she might get herself caught, but for someone else to be captured because of her, especially a member of Mutant X, was unforgivable. Of all the places she had to pick, she had to pick a deserted area. Nora tried shaking them off, but they were relentless. She couldn't keep this up forever and was sure that this time they would get her.
Just when she thought she was going to collapse from pure exhaustion, she felt a body slam into her from the side. It was almost like being tackled by a football player, and she let out a small shriek as whoever it was wrapped her in their arms and practically carried her into an alley. When she regained her senses, she was leaning against the wall of the alley and panting, oxygen searing her lungs. She looked up and got a good look at her rescuer.
He was tall and dressed in all black. His hair was curly and he was also older than she was. She didn't recognize him, but she guessed that this was the guy from Mutant X that she was supposed to have met. Relief swept over her, as she was now able to confirm that he hadn't been captured. He took a few seconds to catch his breath and slowly turned to her, his features were warm and almost paternalistic.
"You okay?" He asked still trying to steady his breath. Before she could answer, however, the three GS agents rounded the corner. The expression on her face must have warned him, because he looked at her and turned quickly.
Adam stood ready to fight off the GS agents, even thought there were only three, he knew he needed back up, "Shalimar, I need you and Brennan to trace the signal on my comlink and get her fast! There are three GS agents her right now, but I'm sure there are more on the way!"
"We're on our way Adam," Shalimar's voice sounded eager to fight off any agents that might be left when they got there.
Two agents surrounded Adam and lunged at him. He quickly rolled out of the way and the two dumb agents butted heads and fell unconscious. Adam turned around to help Nora who was struggling with her agent. She threw a punch and connected with the agents' face making him angry. The agent formed a fireball in his hands and threw it at her, but before it hit its mark, it turned to ice and fell to the ground.
The agent tried to jump back a bit but his feet were frozen to the ground. Adam and Nora both turned to see who had come to their rescue. A very attractive blonde leaned comfortably against the wall. Slowly she approached Adam and Nora.
"It looked like you could use the help," holding out her hand she tossed them both a warm smile despite her chilling powers. "My name is Melissa. I'm an elemental-psionic and I want to work for Mutant X."
Adam and Nora just stared at the new girl as Shalimar and Brennan came running towards them.
"Well I guess you didn't need our help," Shalimar said as she and Brennan walked up to them. "Hey Adam, who's she?"
"Well, this is Melissa and she came in the nick of time. We owe her our thanks.
"So, you want to join Mutant X, well so does everyone else we meet," Shalimar said a low growl in her voice. Melissa looked at as if to say 'You heard that?'
"Don't mind her, she hears a lot of things, really good hearing," Brennan said.
"Oh, okay," Melissa said as she helped Adam off the ground.
Brennan leaned in and said, "Don't mind her, she's territorial. She'll lighten up."
Everyone turned their attention to the agent who was still frozen to the ground. He had another agent trying to get him loose. It a few minutes, but then he broke free. He was looking for another fight but when he saw that there were more of them, he ran like a sissy.
"Yeah, you better run and keep on running because when Eckhart failed, well let's just say it was nice knowing you!!" Brennan yelled.
"Lets go back to Sanctuary," Adam started. "And that means all of us," he said talking to the girls, so they got to the Double Helix and were on their way but not before 'blindfolding' the two girls.
Once they were in the Helix, Adam contacted Jesse, "Jesse, we're in the Helix and on our way back."
"Good, did you find her?"
"Yeah and we're bringing her back with us, as well as someone else."
"Were you planning on telling me who she is, or are you going to leave me in the dark?"
"Her name's Melissa, I'll tell you more when we get there," then he turned off the screen.
