Chapter 23
(Sanctuary - Next Morning - Rec Room)
"So you girls ready to go?" Jesse asked as Shalimar and Emma walked into the rec room, where Brennan and he were waiting were waiting for them to finish packing.
"Yup, you guys ready?" Emma asked back as she walked up to Jesse and gave him as kiss as Shalimar did the same with Brennan.
"Of course we are." Jesse said smugly.
"Actually Jess speak for yourself. I still have to figure out what to do with Fox."
"Sweetie, leave him here with Adam, he'll be fine." Shalimar said giving Brennan one of her irresistible smiles that for some reason always made him feel better.
"I don't Shal, I'm hesitant about leaving him at all."
"He'll be fine man, so lets just get this show on the road."
"Alright I'll meet you guys in the garage right after I tell Adam everything he.." he was cut off by Shalimar.
"Already done, you should know I'm always a step ahead." While Shal was talking Brennan was saying goodbye to Fox who had been at his side the entire time.
"Is that so." Brennan said as he stood up, and scooped Shalimar up in his arms, and walked them both to the garage.
"Holy crap!" Jesse stopped dead in his tracks.
"What is it?" Brennan asked as he walked into the garage, putting down Shalimar. Emma and Shalimar in the mean time just stood there grinning,
"You two already packed the Escalade!" Jesse was utterly shocked.
"Jess, Shal and I don't take that long to pack." Emma retorted while Brennan and Shalimar continued to laugh.
"You knew about this didn't you?" Jesse started at Brennan.
"Just get in." Brennan said he opened Shal's door, and then got into the drivers seat next to her.
"So do we have to pick up your dad Shal?" Brennan asked pulling out of Sanctuary.
"Nope he had some Naxcon business to deal with in Indiana so he's already there."
"Well that should make this 5 hour a lot more fun." Emma added knowing that Shalimar still wasn't completely comfortable being around her father for long periods of time.
"That's for sure." Shalimar answered happily as she reached over and grabbed Brennan's hand.
"I told you that you two were sappier than me and Emma." Jesse shot out all of a sudden.
"Not again." Emma sighed inwardly.
"We're holding hands to you have a problem with that?" Shal asked confused.
"It's nothing don't worry about." Brennan told her not wanting to get into that argument again.
(Hotel - 5 hours later)
All four new mutants got out of the Escalade and checked into the hotel. Shalimar and Brennan got a room together as did Emma, and Jesse. After they brought all their stuff up Shalimar called her father's cell phone.
"Nicholas Fox." he answered.
"Hi dad it's Shalimar."
"Oh hi sweetheart, are you guys on your way?"
"Actually we're at the hotel at the corner of Madison, and young."
"Hold on a second Shal your mother is calling me."
"Sure." She replied as Brennan walked back into the room.
"Sorry about that."
"It's no problem, I was just calling to let you know we were here."
"Alright then I'll you four tomorrow."
"Sounds great. I'll call you tomorrow to get the directions." Shalimar said quickly as Brennan gave her a devilish smile he walked into the washroom, and started the shower.
"Okay, you kids sleep tight."
""We will." Shal said trying to no giggle as she hung up the phone and ran into the washroom closing the door behind her.
(Fox Residence - Next Morning)
"What if she hates me Nick, I could stand to see the look on my little girls face."
"She doesn't, and she doesn't blame you either, she only blames me as it was my fault."
"I'm sorry Nick but can you really blame her?"
"No. no I can't."
"Well I'm glad we cleared the air on that issue."
"Nervous eh?"
"Very. Were you this nervous when she first came to see you?"
"No, I was petrified."
"So what are her friends like? Are they nice?"
"Yes there are. They would put their lives in front of hers."
"Well that's good to know."
"That reminds me Shalimar should be calling soon to get the directions."
(Hotel)
All four of their comm rings beeped at the same time, waking all them from their slumber.
"Yeah." Brennan answered first since he was half awake when his ring beeped.
"Oh I'm sorry did I wake you guys?"
"Yeah you did." Jesse replied pissed that he had been woken up.
"It's okay Adam we had to get up anyway." Emma said nicely since she felt bad for the way Jesse was in the morning.
"I just wanted to make sure you all got to Indiana safely."
"Yeah we did. It was a quiet drive since Jesse and Emma fell asleep halfway there." Shalimar finally spoke.
"That's good know, and Brennan before you ask Fox is fine."
"Thanks Adam."
"It's the least I can do." With that the connection was broken and the four members of Mutant X got ready to head over to Shalimar's mom's place.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed this chapter. If you did or even if you didn't leave me a review, and tell me what you thought. Also I wanted to know what you all thought about the team leaving Sanctuary but not Mutant X. I have and idea if you want them to stay or leave, and get places of their own. Let me know what you think in a review since I can't decide. CiaoJ
