"What the hell did we just witness?" Josh asked in complete and utter shock
"C'mon we need to contact Adam" Emma said totally ignoring the feral's question and heading back to the helix
Grabbing her arm Josh let his canine rage get the better of him "I asked you a question" he said growling and letting his eyes glow
Spinning around to face him Emma, not even intimidated by the feral, calmly replied "look I told we've seen this type of mutant before. Now we need to get back to the helix and contact Adam" she finished by yanking her arm out his grasp before continuing out of the warehouse to the helix
Once they were aboard the helix and in route to sanctuary did Emma fully explain what they witnessed. "What you saw back there was mutant capable of opening a rip in the time space continuum"
Snorting Jill looked at Josh and then to Emma "you're kidding right?"
"No, five years ago we came across a mutant who had the same ability and she used it to send us to 1978." The two remained silent. Noticing they were looking at her like she was crazy she decided to give up and contact Adam "Adam can you hear me?"
"Emma what is it?"
"We found Briscoe" she paused "Adam the mutant he hired, Marc Gothels, he opened a portal"
"Like Diane?"
"Yes. He and Briscoe went in, Brennan went after them so Megan and Keith followed him. Adam I have a feeling they've gone back to that day"
"If they did then it is up to them now"
Emma merely sighed after hearing Adam's words over the comm. system. //Brennan I hope you don't do anything rash// she thought herself as she piloted the helix back to sanctuary

[In the past]
The portal opened and deposited its travelers rather roughly onto the ground of the alley. After hitting the cold hard ground Brennan quickly got up and noticed Briscoe and Gothels running away. He went to follow but Briscoe created a wall of fire between them blocking his path. Brennan tried to throw some electrical blasts but he missed as the two men disappeared around a corner.
"Damn" he yelled in frustration. By now Megan and Keith were at his side both breathing heavily
Taking a moment to note the change in scenery Keith asked "where the hell are we?"
Brennan didn't answer the young mutant because his attention was still focused on the corner Briscoe and Gothels had disappeared around
Noticing Brennan's choice to ignore her brother, Megan began to look around. Seeing a discarded newspaper she moved toward it, picked it up and was shocked when she saw the date "it is not where but when" she said turning to look at them "this newspaper says it's 'June 21st"
"Yeah so it is an old newspaper" he brother replied
"Oh it's an old newspaper alright-from four years ago" she said turning the paper around so the front page was facing them "This paper says it's 'June 21st 2003'". Keith quickly walked over and grabbed the paper out of his sister's hands in order to see for himself. As he read the paper Megan turned her attention to Brennan.
"The day before she dies" he said to himself still staring off in the direction Briscoe had gone
"Brennan that's not our mission, we can't change the timeline" Megan said approaching him placing a hand on his shoulder "I know this is hard for you but we need to focus on capturing our Briscoe along with Gothels and getting back before he causes any changes to the timeline"
Brennan shrugged her hand off his shoulder and walked away without saying a word
"We better follow him make sure he doesn't something stupid" Keith said as he came up along next to her
Turning to look at her brother "How would you feel if you had the chance to stop the woman you love from dying again? There is so much turmoil in his heart. Part of him wants to save her and the other part understands that we can't change the timeline" she replied
"Yeah just remember that if he warns them, effectively changing the timeline, we won't be apart of Mutant X and we both know what life was like before joining up" he spat back before heading off in the direction Brennan went
Watching her brother's back as he walked away she had to admit, as selfish as it sounded, that he was right. If it weren't for Adam and Mutant X then they would still be living that hell hole with that crazy man, they called dad. But at the same time it wasn't fair of fate to dangle this type of opportunity in front Brennan only to have it move out of his reach when we went to grab it. Sighing she decided not to think about it and followed Keith out of the alley
