[Abandoned Warehouse-next morning]
He paced the small room cursing to himself as traced and retraced his steps over and over. Alex Briscoe never considered himself a patient man but if the last four years were any indication of patience, he had a gold medal. Glancing at the clock on the wall he felt his anger burn as he continued to pace the small room
Four years ago he was on the verge of controlling every radio signal in the world but Mutant X just had to interfere. So he waited for the right opportunity to arise and it finally had in the form of Marc Gothels. This young man would provide him the chance to correct the mistake he made four years ago and hopefully get rid of the rest of Mutant X in the process.
The door to the small room opened to reveal a young, mid twenties, male with dirty blond hair and obviously the attitude to match, especially with the way he walked into the room.
"About time you showed up" Briscoe said obviously agitated
"Sorry geeze" the young man replied not really giving a damn
"You should have been here yesterday"
"Yeah I had a little problem with the authorities I needed to clear up" he replied wiggling his eyebrows
"Whatever, when can you can be ready?"
"Whenever you are" he replied in a mocking tone
"Good we leave in an hour" he said before walking past him and out of the room
"Alrighty then" he muttered to himself before turning on his heel and following Briscoe out of the room

Josh landed the double helix several yards behind the warehouse Briscoe was apparently hiding in. The plan was to go in see what he was up and if possible stop him right then and there.
"Alright we are set I'll leave the cloak on while we're in there" Josh said as he followed the others out of the helix and across the field they landed in.
They made their along the outside of the warehouse looking for an entrance. Brennan began to get a sense of déjà vu as they crept along. Four years ago yesterday they were doing the same exact thing and afterwards nothing was ever the same. Finding an entrance in the second floor fire escape, they moved into the warehouse and watched as Briscoe and Gothels talked. Seeing Briscoe, Brennan made a move to strike but Josh grabbed his arm and shook his head 'no.' watching the two men below the group became confused when they didn't see anyone else
"Is it just the two of them?" asked Jill as she scanned the rest of the room
"I think so. I don't see anyone else. What can he hope to accomplish with just the two of them?" asked Josh
"I don't know but whatever it is we need to stop him" Brennan said before leaving the group and making his way down ground level
"Brennan wait" Megan whispered sternly before taking off after him
Seeing his sister follow Brennan "damn it" Keith cursed before turning to face the others "You guys stay here" he spat and took off after them
The three remaining members watched as Gothels moved into the center of the room and slowly brought his hands together. Recognizing what he was doing Emma moved to follow the others
"What are you doing? We need to stay here" Jill said grabbing her arm and pulling her back
"You don't understand I know what his mutant ability is. We've come across another mutant like him before"
"What are you talking about?" Josh asked but before Emma was able to answer a shimmering portal opened before Gothels "What the hell?" Josh muttered
"We have to warn them" Emma said as she saw Brennan, Megan and Keith run up behind Briscoe and Gothels
~~~
Brennan was about to make his move on Briscoe when he saw the huge portal in the center of the room. Scrunching his brow at the familiarity of the portal he screamed at Briscoe as Gothels leapt in "BRISCOE"
Briscoe merely turned around and smiled at him before following Gothels into the portal
"NO" Brennan yelled as he jumped in after him without even thinking.
Seeing him jump into the portal, Megan pulled on her brother's shirt sleeve "We have to follow him come on" she said running towards the portal and jumping in.
Keith just stared at the portal for a second before following his sister into the now closing portal. He managed to enter it as it closed and just like that the five of them were gone.
