Shalimar Fox got out of bed and stretched. She was going to be late for her training school, again. It didn't help matters that she was the principal's adopted daughter. Dr. Adam Kane didn't take any excuses as far as late students went even if the said student was his own daughter. Shalimar quickly went into the shower. As the water cascaded over her she was reminded of her past. When Dr. Adam Kane had altered the human genetic sequence to create a breed of new individuals or mutants he didn't think that it could have such dire consequences. Clearly the world wasn't ready for such advancements. Luckily before these gifted individuals were exposed to the outside world, their creator managed to cover it up. Dr. Adam Kane was now the head of the corporation called Genomex, which protected and provided a shelter for these mutants by setting them up with identifications and setting up safehouses for them all over the country. In addition to this, he had also set up a special training school for these mutants where they could learn to control and enhance their amazing gifts. Dr. Kane was the principal of this training school, which after three years of proactive training finally left the more successful candidates with the responsibility of taking care of the Genomex's various networks throughout the country.
Shalimar Fox got out of the shower and toweled her wet hair. She was reminded that it was Tuesday, which meant no training sessions till late in the afternoon.
"I'm not late after all." She said to herself.
Shalimar was only a baby when Dr. Kane adopted her. Her parents had refused to accept her, a freak they called her. So now she was not their daughter anymore. She called Adam daddy and stayed with him in his mansion. Adam loved her as his own daughter and although he would never admit it, but he could never deny her anything.

So this is how it goes. My name is Shalimar Fox. I know what you're thinking by looking at me. Blond, beautiful, wealthy, from California…she must be dumb as a rock and living the cliché. Actually I am a pretty normal person. I live in Beverly Hills with my daddy, well he adopted me and I call him that. He is Adam Kane, the most successful biogeneticist ever. And I got another ace up my sleeve. I am not like other girls. I… well I have certain special gifts or powers if you will call them. Hold it… before you think I am a witch or something; let me make it clear, I'm not. I am a mutant. My daddy created me. Me and a few thousand others. My DNA has been altered with that of a cat. I am a feline feral. It's sort of cool. I have super strength and there's a cool flashing thing that I can do with my eyes where they turn all yellow and also I have super sensing abilities. Daddy says the best trained ferals, who have really controlled their powers have so advanced sensing abilities that they can hear and smell stuff from half a mile radius. I am hoping to be that good. I am in my final year at the Genomex training school for mutants. Oh gosh. Though it's Tuesday I better not push my luck. Daddy could be waiting. Sure enough there's daddy sitting on the breakfast table. And sure enough he's got a big plate of bacon and eggs sitting in front of him.
"Daddy you're not supposed to have meat. Remember what your cholesterol level was the last time we checked?" I ask him.
"Morning to you too princess." I could see daddy was trying to be sarcastic.
"Juice daddy. Have your juice. You need the vitamin c." I said in a stern voice.
Sure enough he couldn't disagree with me, not when I used this voice. He picked up the glass of juice and started sipping.
He finished with a tortured expression on his face.
"Have you seen my briefcase honey?" He asked.
"Daddy it must be in the lab, where you usually leave it." I tried to remind him.
"Oh of course. So are you coming with me Shalimar?" he asked.
"No daddy. See you in school." I smile at him.
"Don't be late honey." Daddy kissed me on the cheek and went towards the door. But suddenly he stopped.
"Oh Shal I almost forgot. Brennan's in town and he's coming for dinner tonight." He smiled at me.
That really dropped a bomb.
"Why in the name of god?" I asked.
"Because he's your stepbrother that's why."
"Uh he's not daddy. You married his mother for like five minutes and that was six years ago. Why do I have to see Brennan?"
"Shalimar remember, you divorce wives not children." Daddy closed the door.
Great. My day was simply starting to come alive.
End of part one: So what do you think? Like it? Hate it?
