Author's Note: Ah! My apologies to everyone who read chapter one! My computer is being stupid and messed up the format! Plus, I wrote that chapter at 11:30 at night, so it wasn't my best work! Come on now, I spelt Eckhart's name wrong! (lol) So I'm gonna revise and re-post chapter one, but while I'm doing THAT, here's chapter 2!

Also, thanks a bizillion to everyone who reviewed! I'm really glad people are enjoying my story so much! You guys are the one's who made me write and post this chapter so soon, so keep reviewing and I'll keep posting! Also, a note for goldstranger, (and anyone else who was wondering) this story takes place sometime in season two, and this girl is definitely NOT as powerful as Ashlock. Her powers are as advanced as the Mutant X team, but she is younger, so she still has a long way to go before she is fully developed-like they are. That's why Adam is so curious and worried about her….hopefully that clears some things up!

And now, without further rambling, chapter 2…

~Chapter Two~

"Why does it seem like I'm always on the run?" she thought to herself, her breath coming in short gasps, her hand clutching the stitch in her side. She glanced back over her shoulder and saw the people that were chasing her this time. A man and a woman. She shook her head and stopped running. Turning to face them she said,

"Two?" Her assailants ceased the chase and looked at each other in confusion at her words.

"Just two?" she said again and laughed to herself "Do you know who I am? Didn't you hear about those to robbers who had their brains turned to jelly? That was me- that's right, me!" she crossed her arms and smiled easily at them. "You can leave now, and I promise I won't hurt you…" Her words were cut of by a sudden squeal of tires. A black car came up from the other end of the narrow alleyway- behind her, cutting off her escape. It screeched to a halt and five people stepped out, all wearing the same monotonous suits and black sunglasses that the two people in front of her were wearing. She swallowed, hard, and tried to calm herself. Her mind was frantic. Two people-piece of cake. Even three or four were easy. But seven? No, she couldn't do it.

The woman stepped forward and pulled a gun from her coat.

"You see?" she said, a small triumphant smile creeping across her face "We were more prepared then you thought! Now come with us…"

The circle tightened around the girl. They were closing in on her. She looked around her franticly and saw that there was no way out. A sudden whoosh of air startled her, and when she turned around again a woman was standing beside her, in fighting stance.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size." she growled and immediately charged at the nearest suit. The girl stood there in shock at the sudden appearance of the woman, but had no time to figure it out because she was suddenly grabbed from behind. As she kicked and struggled, she saw a tall man step out from one of the doors leading onto the alleyway.

"Let her go." Was all he said before he sent bolts of blue lightning into the men holding her. She fell to the ground with them in shock. The men who had been hit moaned and struggled to get behind the safety of the car doors. Once they reached them, they immediately pulled out guns and opened fire on the man and woman who were trying to save her. She screamed and fell to her knees covering her head.

As the gunfire ripped through the air, she was suddenly tackled flat to the ground. A soft voice whispered in her ear.

"Stay here, don't get up 'till I tell you." She nodded and then suddenly felt the strangest sensation. The person on top of her was hardening…becoming rock solid. They slowly got to their knees and then stood and faced the gunfire straight on. The first thought that flashed through her mind was that this person was crazy…but then she realized that these people were like her, they were different. She was still pondering this thought when she realized that the gunfire had stopped. The same voice that had whispered in her ear laughed and said,

"It's all right! You can get up now!" She slowly opened her eyes and saw a man holding out a hand to her. She just lay there for a minute and stared at him. He was young, probably in his early twenties and was incredibly good looking. His blue eyes seemed to sparkle as she placed her hand in his and he helped her to her feet. When he ran a hand through his blond hair and asked, "You okay?" she knew she was in love.

Ok, that's chapter 2 for ya…and don't worry, this isn't going to be a lovey-dovey kind of story…but what kind of story it IS, your going to have to wait and find out! MUAHAHA! lol

Now Review! You know you want to!
