Summary: after their encounter with Maddox, mutant x is bombarded by many different new mutant sightings.none of which are in the database. Adam/Christina , Brennan/Shalimar, Jesse/Emma
Disclaimer: im only writing this once.my brother like me doesn't own mutant x.but we just love messing with them hehehe.
Warped Realities
Adam Kane was a genius, no one in Mutant X ever had any doubt about that, yet he was baffled by the unexplainable mutant activities that were going on in the city. Or this was at least Emma. mutant x's fiery telempath, got from reading him.
*Oh well* Emma thought *we should've seen this coming.*
Emma thought this because mutant x found out a short while ago that their was a possibility that unidentified mutants would pop up simply because a past foe, Maddox, was created without Adam's knowledge and was not in his database. Shalimar, the team's power packed feral, entered the room silently and gave Emma a questioning stare.
"Who are you reading Emma?" Shalimar asked.
*Oops* Emma thought and instantly got a guilty look on her face, just like a child who gets caught with their hand in the cookie jar. Emma forgot that sometimes when she reads people she gets a blank look on her face. "I was reading Adam, Shalimar. He's so worried that there really might be unidentified mutants out there and he's starting to doubt himself."
"You could go talk to him you know."
"I already tried that Shal, but he won't respond."
"So you decided to read his thoughts?", Shalimar asked quizzically.
"Well, uh yeah", Emma replied.
Shalimar looked at her and said, "Adam will be fine. He's bounced back from problems worse than this. In the meantime let's go find the guys."
"Why Shal that was almost motherly", Emma said.
"You didn't have to sound that surprised, Emma." Nevertheless the two women walked out of the room and walked off in search of the guys.
Meanwhile in the gym
"Brennan, do you think Adam is acting strange?", Jesse asked as he wiped sweat off his forehead.
"I don't think that", replied Brennan, "you are however trying to distract me from sinking the winning shot." Brennan was referring to their one on one basketball game, first one to twenty-one points wins. Brennan had twenty to Jesse's fifteen.
"I would never do a thing like that" Jesse said as he lunged for the ball.
Brennan however simply twisted around him, while still dribbling, and attempted a jump shot. It was perfect alignment and sufficient power to make it to the basket, but it never went through the net.
Shalimar and Emma entered the room a few minutes earlier and had heard some of the conversation that took place. Shalimar gracefully flipped into the air and grabbed the hoop of the basketball rim, then she waited for the ball to get closer before she swatted it off to the side.
"Hi guys", Shalimar said as she landed on her feet after the drop from her spot on the basketball rim.
Brennan was going to get mad because he would've had the winning shot. Yet, he couldn't really get mad at Shalimar, she was too pretty. So Brennan simply calmed himself down and asked, "Why did you do that?"
"Because she secretly wants me to win", Jesse said.
"I thought I was the one rooting for you", Emma replied walking up to join them.
Shalimar then spoke up, "I simply thought it would be fun to put Brennan in his place." Shalimar said this mischievously and then she winked at him as threw the ball into the basket.
When the ball hit the ground, Adam ran in and said, "We've got a situation."
"What is it", Brennan asked.
"I think I've got luck on an unidentified mutant", Adam said with a smile.
"I didn't know we could do that", Jesse said.
"We couldn't", Emma replied. "That's why Adam was distant he was building something."
"Built it's finished and operational, but it's kind of a crap shot since I'm not sure it actually works."
Brennan looked at Adam and said, "We should split up then, right. Where does your device say this mutant is currently?"
"Downtown, but be careful we don't what they can do. Take the Helix and then split up."
In the Helix
Brennan, as he always did, took the helm and began routine take off procedures. Jesse sat by him in the co-pilot seat. Shalimar said to Emma, "Isn't anyone afraid we're going on a wild goose chase. Adam's not even sure if this is gonna work."
"Well, it is dangerous having unidentified mutants running around", Emma replied. "Without knowledge none of us knows if they're like Maddox or Ashlocke or even us." By the time Emma finished replying, the Helix had already taken off and was almost in the downtown vicinity.
A few minutes later, Brennan shouted over the roar of the engine, "We're going to land so strap in." After they all strapped in, Brennan successfully landed the plane and Jesse activated the cloaking device. He then asked, "How are we going to split up?"
Emma, before Brennan suggested anything, said, "We should all go separate ways and meet back here in an hour. If we find the mutant before then we can get through to each other via com link."
Though both Brennan and Jesse were surprised with Emma's sudden application of leadership skills, Shalimar was the only one who noticed Emma's eyes were different.
*Emma, what's wrong with you?* Shalimar thought. *You've never acted like a leader before.*
Yet, as quickly as this change in Emma occurred, her eyes unglazed and said to Shalimar, "Why are looking at me weird."
"It's nothing", Shalimar answered. "Let's start looking."
"Yeah", Jesse said. "If we find the mutant fast enough we might be able to pick up a pizza before heading back to Sanctuary."
Emma rolled her eyes and said, "Must your mind always be on food." Then the four members of Mutant X walked off in separate directions.
Fifteen minutes later
Shalimar was walking up the street fast. Her eyes were looking for any signs of mutant behavior. *Of course what we're doing is probably dumb* Shalimar thought. *What kind of mutant would use their powers in plain sight.*
All the sudden, her feral senses picked up the sounds of a fight. Shalimar raced toward the origin of the sounds of the fight while rationalizing *With luck this will be an unidentified mutant. If not I at least get to kick some ass.*
Shalimar turned down an alley and saw two thugs picking on guy who couldn't be older than twenty-five. She was about to jump kick the short thug with sandy blond hair, but, Shalimar ended up jumping over because he was inexplicably thrown towards her.
*Could this mutant be a psionic mutant with telekinetic powers* Shalimar reflected.
The other thug, who was tall in contrast with the short thug, instantly started screaming. Shalimar then backed away from him because she saw his brown jacket had caught on fire. Tall thug ran away from the attackee and the short thug followed at his heels. Shalimar then approached the youth since the threat of fire was gone.
"Aw man", the guy said. "How many is that fool going to send after me."
"I have no clue what you're talking about", Shalimar answered. "I'm only here to help what's you're name."
The young man hesitate but it did seem like he wanted to trust her, hell he probably wanted to trust anyone. "Daniel Ngyuen."
"Well, Daniel let me take you somewhere safe." Shalimar noticed fear creeping into Daniel's eyes, but she noticed too late.
"No! You're just like the rest of them. Stay away." Daniel then raised his hands and a bright flash erupted from them. Shalimar's vision returned with the thoughts
*What happened?* Yet these thoughts faded and we're placed with new ones. Shalimar turned quickly and ran back toward the Helix.
Back at Sanctuary
Emma was worried all the way back from downtown. Shalimars's thoughts we're being masked and this bothered her. Not that Emma necessarily minded less feelings in her mind, but it bugged her all the same.
Jesse, as sweet as he was, perceived her quietness, and spoke to her while they were leaving the Helix, "Emma what's wrong?"
All the sudden her stomach was queasy and so she simply said, "Nothing. I'll see you later okay."
"Okay", Jesse replied as he admired her backside as she walked away.
Brennan and Shalimar, however, we're still in the Helix. "You're unusually quiet, Shal. Is they're a reason for that?"
Shalimar walked out of the Helix and said, "Yeah, come closer for a second."
Brennan strided over to her and uttered "Do you have something to say?"
"I've finally realized that Ashlocke was right in a way."
Brennan's mind was racing while he thought *Huh? What's going on?*
Shalimar continued her speech however and said, "We, mutants should rule the world. However, I'll be the leader since Ashlocke is dead. With helpers I can succeed. Want to help me in my dream, Brennan?"
Brennan listened in disbelief, Shalimar voiced all this with calm deliberation she must've really felt this way. "I'm sorry Shal I can't help."
"I thought you were going to turn me down. It's sad that I'm going to have to hurt you seeing how you are incredibly sexy." Shalimar then lunged for Brennan but, since he anticipated the move, barely, he dodged her first attack.
Then Brennan twirled his hands and started to form low level lightning. He realized Shalimar would take him out without thinking twice about him, yet, he had to play by different rules for two reasons. The first reason was he could not believe Shalimar would start acting this way without coercion. The second was that Brennan believed he had fallen for this breathtakingly beautiful feral.
However, he had to keep his emotions out of play otherwise she would no he wouldn't take her out. Brennan threw electricity at her, but he was frustrated, and at the same time relieved, to see that Shalimar had dodged his attack.
"Too bad you're heart wasn't in the fight, Brennan. Then you might actually have had a fighting chance." Shalimar yelled this while she flied at him with a jump kick that knocked him off his feet and out of consciousness. Shalimar started to exit the hangar when she saw Jesse running in the room.
"What happened I heard the sounds of a fight and came running."
Shalimar's eyes turned yellow, the form of her tracking ability. Not only did it heighten her senses but it did make her a little more fearsome. "You're lying. Your heart is practically beating out of your chest. You probably heard my conversation with Brennan and won't join me like him."
"That's right."
Shalimar went to punch him and forgot on the last second why she shouldn't have rushed her attack. Jesse breathed in and massed causing her fist to collide with his massed state. She grimaced as her system registered the pain. "We both know Jesse that you can't hold your breath forever. I'll simply take you out when you unmass."
Jesse in his mind quickly thought *If you can't hear me Emma, at least feel my desperation and the pain I'd feel if I never got to look upon your face again.* With that Jesse unmasked, hoping Shalimar wouldn't kill him and Emma would respond to his emotion cry.
Meanwhile
After Emma finished her conversation with Jesse, which took place a few minutes earlier, she instinctively headed toward the med lab in search of Adam. Yet, she only made it as far as one of the many bathrooms in Sanctuary before she ran to the toilet and threw up.
*What's wrong?* Emma wondered, *I never really get sick.*
It was at that moment when she was hit with feelings of complete desperation.
*Oh no* Emma thought as she realized that her earlier suspicions of Shalimar were right on the money.
Emma also got Jesse's feelings of surprise, that came about from Shalimar, of all people, acting like Gabriel Ashlocke incarnated. Out loud Emma said, "If I want to save you guys, I'm going to have to take her out no matter what."
"Funny you should mention that Emma."
"Emma didn't have to spin around to know who her opponent was, she recognized the voice well.
"Hi Shalimar..."
"Cut the cute stuff, Emma. Join me or die."
"How about neither", Emma yelled as she prepared to go broad band. It was then that something unpredictable happened.
Shalimar raced toward Emma exactly as was letting her power go but they both stopped. Emma's power began to fold back into herself, while Shalimar stopped in her tracks and put her hand on her head.
Shalimar moaned in pain and said, "Emma did I just did what I think I did."
"Yeah, how come you're normal now."
"It was weird, after I found Daniel..."
"Shal who's Daniel?", Emma replied.
"I have a big feeling he's the mutant we're looking for."
"What did he do to you?"
"I have no clue. I remember this light and the next moment I'm here acting like that good for nothing Ashlocke!"
Emma tried to calm her down by saying, "We can't do anything else other than to get the guys into beds and hope Adam returns soon."
"What do you mean when Adam returns?", Shalimar demanded. "Look, Shal I don't sense Adam. Just like I didn't sense you before you went take down crazy."
Shalimar realized she shouldn't argue and walked beside Emma, heading toward Jesse and Brennan. Shalimar hated to admit but their was nothing they could do until Adam got back, from wherever he was. Emma and Shal took care of the guys in silence while Emma thought *Adam get back soon we need your help.*
