Chrissy looked up at Emma still confused as always. She hadn't said anything in a really long time. Just watched as all this took place around her. She had a million questions but didn't know how to ask them. What was going on here? Chrissy had listened when Meric talked about Genomex and what they did to their patients and wondered if there was more he wasn't telling. She looked over at Onca and could tell that she was thinking the same thing. They both suspected something but Chrissy thought it would be better to keep quiet about Genomex and Let Serenity sort it out before she got into any more trouble. Serenity had vary interesting powers Chrissy thought. On the surface she seemed to be an intelligent person with a powerful mutancy. Chrissy was normally never quick to judge without really knowing a person but these times weren't normal. She could either trust these people or she would have to fight all for herself and frankly she had done that enough already to know that its not so easy.

Chrissy studied Emma again and then turned her attention to Serenity. "Eyes?" she said with a questioning and confused look on her face.

This Emma person stood quite still with her eyes fixed on Serenity when she had the vision, Chrissy noticed. It was almost as if she were reading her or even looking into her mind. Something like this would have been seemingly impossible to some people but not Chrissy. If there were people who could throw electricity and jump off 7 story buildings then certainly there could be people with the ability to read minds.

Then Emma took a deep breath and started to speak as everyone else listened.
"As Meric said...Genomex created human's with supernatural abilities like all of you. Ferals with strength and speed. (Chrissy and onca smiled) Elementals with powers dealing with electricity. (Meric smiles and makes some sparks in his hand)Moleculars with powers to alter density and Psionics with Mind and in some cases Technology alteration and manipulation powers. I myself am A Psionic. Mind Manipulation powers and all that fun stuff."

Emma smiled at Chrissy who was in disbelief. Emma continued "Mutant X is a team made up of one of each type of Mutant. A Psionic~Myself, A Feral~Shalimar, A Molecular~Jesse, and An Elemental~Brennan. Adam Kane is of course not a Mutant but the human that makes it all work.

So now that you all see what's going on....
The eyes? Chrissy interrupted
Of course Emma replied. The eyes in your vision Serenity were those of Adam. Believe it or not I saw them through your mind.

Chrissy nodded and smiled at Onca in approval.

Meric looked down at his watch.
"Its getting late" He said to no one in perticular. "I should be getting back to my place." he said waving to everyone then walking out.

Chrissy looked at Onca who then glanced over at Harmony along with Serenity.

Harmony yawned and put her head down on her mother's shoulder.

"do you have a place around here?" Onca asked Serenity.

Serenity shook her head. "We have been staying at the shelter."

Onca began: "You and Harmony are welcome to come spend the night with us" Onca looked over at Chrissy who nodded.

"Sounds good" Serenity said smiling.

Looks like everythings under control here. Emma said smiling. I will meet everyone here again tomorrow she said leaving.

Chrissy picked up her jacket off the bench and followed Onca, Serenity and Harmony out into the dimly lit street towards the apartment.

The air was cold as the foursome stepped out into the street. The air had that certain ozone smell to it, like the one Meric had.
It's going to rain Onca spoke softly, in a knowing type of way. Serenity nodded in agreement and shifted her daughter in her arms.

Harmony was getting a little too heavy to carry around now, weighing a hefty 33 pounds, her weight was wreaking havoc on Serenity's hips. But Harmony being the stubborn two year old she was would not have it anyway else.
Light rain drops fell over the four ferals as they turned down a corner and up the a small flight of steps to a doorway.
Here we are Chrissy's voice was light and friendly as she watched her friend place her key into the front door and turn it, the door was pulled open and Onca and Chrissy stepped in. Serenity took one last look around the street, subconsciously making sure no one had followed them and stepped in with the others. Serenity gave a small meek smile as she saw the other two women looking at here. Sorry.. it's a habit Both women nodded and smiled. Chrissy placed her long arm around Serenity's shoulders and smiled. Don't worry Renny, you are safe here with us

Renny... that was a new one, Serenity thought, not really a bad nick name, I could get used to it. Serenity smiled again and relaxed. Onca lead the way up the stairs and down a long hallway, finally stopping in front of a dark wood doorway. The door was simple and plain, with only the letter C' nailed to the door. Onca again dangled her keys, looking for the right one to open the door, when she did, she slid it into the lock and turned it.
Welcome to our humble abode She said giggling. Onca pushed the door open, showing the small apartment off.
The Apartment was dark, for the lack of lighting, but when Chrissy flicked on a light it revealed a smartly decorated room, with a few large pieces of furniture, a tv and VCR. The walls had paintings and posters covering it. the Apartment looked like it had gotten into a fight with a prissy interior decorator and Marilyn Manson, but the effect was quiet suitable for the two ferals that lived here.
Serenity said as she nodded at the room. Very.... eclectic! she tried not to sound insulting.
Onca and Chrissy both laughed. It's fun... at least Chrissy offered. and Onca and Serenity nodded.

Serenity saw a digital clock on a table and gasped. Is that the time!? and Onca nodded. Why what's wrong? she asked. Serenity shifted Harmony in her arms again and sighed. It's Harmony's bedtime.. is there some where I can lay her down? Onca nodded and motioned for her to follow.
Onca walked down the hallway and stopped in front of a door, she turned the knob and walked in, turning on a bedside lamp. Here... you and Harmony can stay in here, This is Chrissy's room, try to ignore the posters of marilyn manson and n'sync Onca snorted in a humorous manner and turned back to the door. We'll be right in the living room, come out and have some thing to eat when you are done with Harmony Serenity smiled and nodded as Onca left the room.
Harmony was already asleep when Serenity placed on the little double bed. She quickly stripped the toddler to her diaper and checked to see if it needed changing, it didn't, which was good because she was running out of them quickly. *~I'll have to go to the store in the morning~* she thought to her self as she dressed her daughter in a set of toddler PJ's and covered her with the blanket. Serenity stared down at her sleeping angel, the stressed look gone from her small face and a small smile replaced it. Leaning down Serenity placed a kiss on the toddler's forehead and whispered into her little ear. Goodnight Hum hum, sleep tight Serenity quietly left the room and closed the door behind her, a quickly walked back down the hallway to the living room.

As Serenity entered she saw Onca and Chrissy sitting on the couch together chatting and eating, what looked like ice cream from the tub. The two turned and smiled as they saw her enter, motioning her over, they both patted the couch seat between them and Serenity quickly sat down. Chrissy handed her a clean spoon and smiled.
It's Triple fudge with hazelnuts She explained in a know it all voice and it made both her and Onca giggle like school girls. Serenity dipped her spoon into the tub and brought out a large spoon full of ice cream. Do you guys always eat like this? She asked as she shoved the spoon into her mouth and savored the taste.
Onca swallowed first and replied. No... we usually eat better than this, but we thought we'd have some cause we felt like it and you were here, we are celebrating! She said and dipped her spoon into the tub again. Chrissy nodded and swallowed. Yup! before it was just the two of us, now we are four! that's something to celebrate I think!

Serenity felt comfortable with these two, like she knew them better than she did herself, like they were family. she knew that they would become just that, and it made her smile.

The three of them stayed up late, chatting about anything and everything, Onca and Chrissy were curious to know more about the newest member and Serenity went into great detail about her life and about Harmony's.
Finally the trio fell asleep on the couch together, legs and arms flung mindlessly over other's and each touching someone else's. They looked like three cats curled up together, in complete contentment.
