Across town Jesse and Emma were also waiting to meet a new mutant, only in a not so nice part of town. Walking along the smelly alley Jesse and Emma studied their nasty surroundings
"I think saw what looked liked either a dead cat or a really bad piece of raw meat. Tell me again why we got sent here and the happy couple got sent to the park?" Jesse asked
Emma didn't justify his question with an answer she merely gave him a look and talked about the job at hand "did Adam say why this mutant was so pressed to meet us now?"
"No he just said that this guy was very insistent that we meet him" he replied still glaring at the mysterious carcass.
Emma was about to say something to him when Marc appeared out of the shadows. "Hello?" she said to the mysterious figure
"Hello, you must be Emma and Jesse" he said knowing full well who they were
"Yes and you are?" Jesse asked
"Marc Gothels" was all he said looking at them to see if anything in their memories registered.
Jesse stared at him blankly but Emma looked like she might remember him "have we met before?" she asked trying to get a handle on where she had seen this man before
"We have and the longer you spend with me the more you will remember" they looked at him "I will explain more later but right now I really need to speak with Adam"
"How do you know Adam?" asked Jesse
"As I said I will explain later, right now I need to speak with Adam and the rest of Mutant X"
Jesse was about to ask another question when Emma piped in "ok come with us"
"Emma?" Jesse asked in a shocked tone
Moving to his side and whispering in his ear "it is ok I don't sense any deception from him" Jesse nodded and the two team members lead Marc to their vehicle to take him to the safe house where they would meet up with Brennan and Shalimar
~~~
[Safe house]
Brennan, Shalimar, Megan and Keith were making meaningless chit chat while they waited for Jesse and Emma
"So why did you two contact the us?" asked Shalimar
"Well our mother died a few years ago in a car accident and ever since then our father has been drunk and abusive. So you could imagine how much of a joy he was to live with" replied Megan
"Did they know about your powers?" asked Brennan
"Yeah, our mother had always embraced our gifts but our father, well he was apprehensive. Plus he blamed us for our mother's death" replied Megan
"Why would he blame you?" asked Shal
"Because he could" snapped Keith
"We finally couldn't take it anymore so we contacted you" added Megan
The four sat in silence for a moment all taking in what had just been said when Shalimar heard the door to the safe house open and craned her neck to see Jesse and Emma enter with the new mutant they were to meet Turning toward them Brennan rose from his seat getting the same odd sensation he ahd gotten earlier from Megan when he got a good look at the mutant with Jesse and Emma. To his surprise he wasn't the only one
"I know you from somewhere" stated Megan
"Yeah you look familiar" added Keith
"Funny I was going to say the same thing" said Shalimar glaring at the man
"Well that would make four of you" said Jesse
"Five actually" added Brennan
"Ok what the hell is going on?" asked Jesse who was getting a little perturbed
"As I told the two of you in the alley" Marc said to Jesse and Emma "there is a lot to explain"
"Well maybe you should start" added Brennan
"What I have to tell you may be hard to grasp but bear with me" he started "Four years ago Mutant X stopped a man named Alex Briscoe from stealing a top secret weapon that could alter radio waves" the team just stood there with their mouth's hanging open
