Deleted Scenes

Deleted Scene #1 – "Diana"

Danika Caden sat up in bed after hearing a strange sound.  She and Cody were sharing a room while they were in the Dublin House since they were the two youngest.  She looked around and saw a small glowing light.  The light danced around the room for a few minutes and then Danika noticed that Cody had woken up and was also watching the light.  The light stopped and hovered in the middle of the room and then began to expand and become brighter.  Soon the light formed into a figure of a woman, and the figure became an actual woman.  She had long dark brown hair, green eyes, pale skin, a kind smile, and iridescent wings.  "Angel! Angel!" Cody exclaimed happily as he pointed at the angelic woman.

"What's your name?" Danika asked.

"Diana," the woman responded.

"Are you an angel?"

"Yes," Diana answered smiling.

"Are you here to protect someone?"

"Yes."

"Who?" Danika asked curiously.

"Angel!  Angel!" Cody continued.

"I am here to protect Cody as well as the rest of the children…"

"So, you're Cody's guardian angel?"

Diana smiled, "something like that…don't stop believing…I will always be here even if you can't see me…" Diana said and disappeared.

"Angel go bye bye," Cody said and then laid back down and closed his eyes.

"Goodbye Diana," Danika said softly and then went back to bed.

Alternate Endings

Alternate Ending #1 – The Blue Fairy

Main Area – Sanctuary.  "You've found one family for all three of them?" Brennan asked somewhat amazed at Adam's news.

"But you said that it wouldn't happen," Shalimar reminded Adam.  "You said that it was possible with Analyn and Sierra, but that Cody would have to go to a special placement or something…"

"Because of his special needs, yes, but this family has been away in Europe for four months and I didn't consider them because they thought they'd be gone for another two months," Adam explained.

"Who are they?" Brennan asked curious at what kind of family the kids would be going to.

"Rosemary and Mark Collins," Adam said displaying their pictures on the wall screen.  "Rosemary is a stay at home mom now, but she once was a teacher and worked with children with disabilities.  Mark is a pediatric doctor who works at a local clinic."

"So, they're both obviously going to be okay with Cody?"

"Right.  The Collins also have two children…Harmony and David.  Harmony is four and David is six."

"So, they'll have friends their own age?" Shalimar asked.

"Yes," Adam said.  "I really think this will be the best for the kids until its safe for them to be with us all again."

Shalimar merely nodded and walked away leaving Adam and Brennan standing there.  "I'm sorry, I know this all has been hard on you both," Adam told Brennan as he sat down and pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes.

"Adam, go ahead and make the arrangements," Brennan said.  "I'm going to go check on Shalimar…"

A Week Later…A local McDonald's.  Brennan, Adam, and Emma took the kids inside while Jesse stayed in one of the cars.  Shalimar had stayed at Sanctuary, she had said her goodbyes before they had left and didn't want to make it any harder on any of them.  Emma took the kids up to order while Brennan and Adam found a table and sat down with the kids' backpacks.  They had each been allowed a backpack with whatever they wanted to bring along in it.  Soon Emma and the kids walked over to the table and sat down.  Emma passed out everything just as Rosemary, Mark, Harmony, and David Collins approached.  "Rosemary, Mark, thank you for meeting us here," Adam said.

"Of course," Rosemary told him taking a seat across from him.

"I'm going to take the kids and gets some food," Mark said and left with Harmony and David.

Analyn, Sierra, and Cody were going through their happy meals.  Sierra pulled out her toy just as Analyn and Cody did.  They were all different, they were Disney characters since they were having a Disney Movie Celebration.  Analyn frowned at her toy, she had gotten Ursala the sea witch from The Little Mermaid.  Analyn looked over at Sierra's as Sierra opened up hers.  "The blue fairy!  Aww…I wish I had a blue fairy!"

Cody looked from his Simba at Sierra's blue fairy, "angel! Angel! Angel!"

Brennan, Adam, Emma, and Rosemary just looked over at the kids.  "Is there a problem with the toys?" Brennan asked.

"I just wish I had the blue fairy too," Analyn said sadly.

"And I think Cody wants one too," Sierra added.

Brennan sighed and shook his head.  He picked up Cody and Analyn's toys and went up and exchanged them.  Brennan returned when Mark, Harmony, and David did.  Emma however decided it was time for her to go out to the car with Jesse and take him his food.  She kissed each of the three kids and left.  Adam looked over at Brennan who was looking at the how happy the three now were.  "Brennan, I think it's time…"

"I know," Brennan said not looking over at Adam.

"Analyn, Sierra, Cody…remember what we talked about?" Adam asked them.  They all nodded.  "Well, this is the family you'll be staying with for awhile, okay?"  They all nodded again.

"Will Mommy be okay?" Sierra asked concerned.

"She'll be fine, Sweetie," Brennan answered kissing Sierra's forehead.  "We have to go now."

Brennan and Adam got up from the table.  "They'll be fine," Mark told them.  Adam and Brennan left.

Harmony and David had found their happy meal toys and begun to play with Sierra, Cody, and Analyn.  "They're going to be just fine," Rosemary said watching the five children play.

Alternate Ending #2 – Face Off

Avalaris Safehouse.  Adam and Jesse were taking the Mulwray children to be taken into the New Mutant Underground.  The family that was suppose to take the kids was meeting them at one of the safehouses that was located in a train station.  Adam entered first followed by the kids and Jesse.  As soon as the doors closed, Mason Eckhart and a troop of GS Agents came out from hiding.  The door had been locked and it seemed that there was no way out.  "Jesse, get them out of here," Adam instructed.

Jesse nodded and picked up Cody and held both girls' hands and started backing up.

"I wouldn't do that, Mr. Kilmartin," Eckhart warned and half of the GS Agents pulled out guns and pointed them at him and the kids.  Jesse immediately froze.

Adam pulled out a gun he had brought with him in case of an emergency and pointed it at Eckhart.  "Let them go, Mason," Adam warned.

"Oh come now, Adam, if I let them go then this trip would be wasted," Eckhart said not phased by the gun Adam was pointed at him.

"You are NOT taking ANY of them, Mason!" Adam said angrily and motioned Jesse to go as Adam pulled the trigger of the gun.

Jesse phased through with al the kids.  Just as they reached the other side of the wall, which was the train station platform they heard several gunshots go off.  Jesse froze for a second, and then looked down at the three terrified faces that were looking up at him.  Jesse took a quick breath, "let's get back to Sanctuary." Jesse and the kids took the train a ways and then met up with Emma who had a car.  They drove back to Sanctuary not knowing what had happened to Adam or Eckhart.

Alternate Ending #3 – Separation

It was one of the hardest things Adam had to do.  To take Shalimar's children, and then to separate them.  The last to be dropped off was Sierra.  Cody dropped off was Sierra.  Cody had been placed with a family who had special needs children and were excited to have Cody.  Analyn had been placed with an average family.  Sierra was to be placed with a family of psionics.  Adam and Sierra walked along a typical looking street passing houses with stone entries and white picket fences.  Adam was sad, but yet relieved.  The fact that they hadn't come up with an  alternate 'safe' way to keep all of the children together and with Shalimar and Brennan had hurt Adam, but yet since he knew that he almost had completed taking all of the kids into hiding felt like a weight had been lifted off of him.  Adam and Sierra hadn't talked since they dropped the other two kids off.  Adam was becoming a bit worried though.  "Sierra?"

Sierra merely looked up at Adam with a blank look on her face.

Adam frowned, more than he was already.  They kept walking.  They were just about there.  "Sierra, if you're mad at me, I'm sorry.  We ARE trying to do what's best for all of you."

"Are you going to hide us away forever?" Sierra asked flatly.

"No, of course not."

"You just don't want us to be with Mom and Dad."

Adam stopped, "that's not true, Sierra."

"Yes it is.  You don't want Mommy and Daddy to have us, so that they can be on the team more."

"Sierra, you know better than the others what could happen to you."

"You told them I was dead when I was born, and you secretly sent me away.  And THEN, we all get sent away to London.  And NOW you're separating us and sending us all away!"

"It's for your own safety, Sierra."

"You're lying!"

"Look Sierra, if you want to think that and be mad at me that's fine.  I know that I AM doing this for your own safety."

"Are you Adam?" Eckhart's voice came from behind and Adam froze grabbing Sierra's wrist tightly.

Adam slowly turned with Sierra to face Eckhart.  "What do you want Mason?"

"I just got to thinking that maybe Gabriel was on to something."

"I have no time for your games, Ma…"

"Don't you want to know what it is?" Eckhart asked cutting off Adam's sentence.

"It seems you're going to tell me whether I want to hear it or not."

"Well, you are right about that, Adam.  See…I've decided that Gabriel was correct on how to attack…through your children and THEIR children."

Adam was furious, at Eckhart and himself.  "You are NOT taking her Eckhart!  If you want to hurt me or kill me, then just do it!  Leave Mutant X and their children out of it!"

"But I know that it hurts you so much more if I simply use them as a tool to hurt you."

"Mason, just…" Adam's voice trailed off.  He wasn't sure what he wanted to say.  He just wanted it to be over.  For all his children and their children to be safe.

"Just what, Adam?" Eckhart asked curiously.  It wasn't like Adam to not know what to say.

"Just take me and do whatever you want to do to me…hurt me…kill me…whatever…just let Sierra go…please…"

Eckhart just stood there for a few seconds in shock.  He didn't expect Adam to say that.  "Really?" Eckhart asked somewhat amused at the possibilities.

"Yes," Adam said wearily.

Sierra was worried, she was mad at Adam, but she knew her mother loved him.  She tugged on his hand slightly giving him a worried look.  Adam looked down at Sierra and gave her an 'it's okay' look.  "What do you say, Eckhart?  Shall we settle this now?"

Eckhart smiled an evil smiled.  "Why not?"

Adam looked down at Sierra.  Quietly he said, "quickly run to the house or the nearest safe house."

Sierra frowned and began to argue, "but Adam…"

"Just go!" Adam told her pointing down the street.

Sierra nodded to Adam, and then looked back at Eckhart her eyes glowed a feral gold.  She gave Adam another worried look and then started down the street as fast as she could.

"Okay Adam, time to hand yourself over."  GS Agents that had been in hiding surrounded Adam.

"I'm not going to resist, Mason."

Sierra had ended up running to the nearest safe house.  She didn't want to stay with the family she was supposed to; calling her parents had seemed like a MUCH better idea.  Sierra got to the phone in the safe house and dialed Sanctuary.

"Hello?" Jesse said answering the phone call at Sanctuary.

"Uncle Jesse?!" Sierra exclaimed.  She was tired, confused, upset, and she just wanted to go home.

"Sierra?  Are you okay?  Where's Adam?"

Sanctuary.  Brennan, Shalimar, and Emma walked in right when Jesse has asked Sierra if she was okay and where Adam was.  "What's going on?" Brennan asked.

Jesse turned to them, "Sierra's calling from a safe house."

"Eckhart has Adam!  Adam said he'd go with him!" Sierra's worried voice answered through the phone.

Shalimar immediately started for the garage.

"Sierra, you stay where you are!  We're on our way!" Brennan said and then followed Shalimar.

Safe house.  Brennan and Shalimar had arrived at the safe house quickly, and found Sierra crying.  Shalimar's feral mothering skills had taken over the minute she had heard Sierra's call.  She scooped up Sierra and held her close.  "It's okay, baby.  You're okay, right?" Shalimar asked pulling Sierra away from her body just enough so she could look into Sierra's eyes.

"I said some mean things to him before…" Sierra started crying again.

"To who?  Adam?" Shalimar asked Sierra, and she merely nodded.

"I'm sure he's fine, Sierra," Brennan added to reassure her.

Jesse and Emma entered the safe house; they had headed over to hopefully find Adam near the foster home Sierra was intended for.  Shalimar and Brennan looked up immediately at Jesse and Emma.  Jesse merely shook his head.

Sierra was still crying.  "Mommy, PLEASE don't take me to that family!  PLEASE!" Sierra pleaded.

Shalimar was torn.  She wanted to keep her at Sanctuary, but also knew that they would need to search for Adam.  Shalimar actually felt helpless about making the decision.  Shalimar looked over at Brennan.

"I guess it couldn't hurt," Brennan told her.

"What about Analyn and Cody?"

"I think they're fine where they are now."

Shalimar merely nodded and held Sierra close.

"We need to find Adam."

Alternate Ending #4 – An Innocent Taken

Mutant X and the Mulwray Family were on the move.  They were all going to try to relocate, somewhere far away where no one had heard of Genomex or seen a New Mutant.  They were almost to their train station when a squad of GS Agents and Eckhart appeared.  They all stopped.  Adam looked at his children…and their children.  "Go on ahead, I'll be right there."

Brennan nodded and they all took off.

They were all in the train station at their platform, except for Adam.  Shalimar was getting worried.  "Brennan, we can't just leave him behind."

"Shal'…"

"I'll go and check on him…I'll be right back."

"What about Cody?" Brennan asked noticing how close Shalimar was holding Cody.

"I'll take him with me, I'll make sure he's safe…you three need to watch these two," Shalimar said looking down at Analyn and Sierra.

Brennan nodded.

Shalimar headed back the way they had came carrying Cody.  She saw Adam talking to Eckhart and set Cody down behind a car, "Cody, Mommy will be right back…I need you to stay here until I come back to get you, okay?"

Cody nodded.

Shalimar left Cody and walked over to Adam. 

"I told you to go," Adam told her.

"You weren't behind us," Shalimar told him smiling.

Eckhart pointed a gun at Adam, aimed straight for his heart.  Shalimar was sick of this, she just wanted for them to all be away from Eckhart and Genomex.  She kicked the gun out of Eckhart's hand.

Eckhart had been surprised at the movement and fell to the ground and reached for the gun and accidentally pulled the trigger.

Cody screamed.

Adam and Shalimar immediately ran as the GS Agents and Eckhart retreated.  Cody had been shot in the chest and was bleeding heavily.  Shalimar held him as Adam took off his shirt and applied pressure to the wound.  Shalimar was crying.  "Adam…he's going to be all right, isn't he?"

Adam didn't say anything.

"Adam…"  Shalimar pleaded helplessly.

"I'm so sorry Shalimar…"

"No…no no no no no no….he has to be okay…he has to…" Shalimar said smoothing Cody's hair and rocking him holding him close to her heart.

Cody's eyes slowly closed.

Adam check for a pulse and then closed his eyes when he found none.

Shalimar began to cry hysterically as Adam held Shalimar who was still holding Cody's lifeless body.
