I wasn't sure whether you guys liked it, but I carried on anyway...enjoy!
A few blocks down-
Shalimar had gotten to her scene first, but didn't know that Jesse was stuck in a traffic jam. She let the two men know that she had reached her location, though, through her comlink.
'Adam? I've just gotten here, I'll take a quick look around now'
'Okay Shal, be careful, that's not the nicest of areas.'
'Well now u tell me! It's okay, I'm a big girl...just prepare the lab for new mutants, eh?'
'I'll be ready. Off.'
*Right, now if I were a new mutant...wait a minute, I am!*
'Rite, if I were a scared new mutant...in an abandoned area, where would I be?' she always whispered to herself, it made her feel more surrounded and in a way, safe. She looked around trying to find a sign of movement or any sign of new mutancy, when she felt someone's presence behind her.
*Hmm, this'll be fun...* She flashed her eyes feral to get a better feel of the person behind her
*male...5ft 8...wait a minute...feral?* She turned around ducking narrowly escaping a punch from the feral behind her. As if a state of protection, Shal flashed her eyes feral at the man now facing her. He flashed his eyes back at her, letting Shal realise that he was a canine feral.
*Canine? Beats beating Jesse all the time...*
'I love a new challenge' Shalimar was stating to him letting him know that she was not an easy giver-upper (is that a word? I don't know..) She circled round him, like she was examining him. What she didn't know was that he was also a psionic. He was able to make her powerless against him. Something she wasn't prepared for.
Across town-
Jesse had finally beaten the traffic leading up to his spot. He was sure Shal had at least three new mutants now...he shouldn't have challenged her *wait a minute...it was she who challenged me...that's even worse!*
He parked the car thinking about his defeat and got out before locking the car securely. He didn't trust places too far away from Sanctuary, he didn't really get out much anyway. He looked down at the list that Adam had given them just to make sure that he had it right. It didn't feel right though...it seemed...too deserted for a club. *probably 'cause it's late*
He turned to the club close by when he bumped into two girls who had obviously just come out of it. They were a bit drunk, but still had a bit of soberness left in them. One of them approached Jesse with a half full cup of beer in her hand.
'Hey there handsome, fancy a drink?'
'In fact yeh, but I'm going into the club for it'
'Want some company?' It wasn't really a question. Even though the two girls were heading out, they turned around and followed Jesse into the club. When they entered the club, they headed straight for the bar. *What's the harm in one drink?*
If Jesse told himself to have just one drink, he would just have one drink. He wasn't really into the whole clubbing, get drunk, get laid thing.
'So handsome, what's your name?' The same girl did all the talking...she seemed to have a thing for calling Jesse 'handsome'.
'Jesse...Jesse Kilmartin. And you?'
'My name's Melody! And this...' she turned to her friend only to find that she was on the dancefloor dancing with a new partner every ten seconds, '...that is Kathryn! You here on your own?'
'Yeh, I'm not really a party animal, I just came to find some people.'
'Oh...well, I came with Kathryn and my brother, Timothy...but I seem to have lost him! oops!' Melody had a playful look on her face. Jesse got the impression that she didn't really mind where Timothy was.
'He's probably somewhere with another chick showing her the colours of the world!'
'Right...well, thanks for telling me, but I didn't really need to know that your brother...'
'Eww no! I wasn't on about having sex! I meant he's probably showing her the colours of the world...literally!'
'What d'you mean?'
'He's been able to do it when he was like, six! He can project into peoples' minds all the colours of the world and different feelings!' By now, Melody was shouting because of all the noise from the dancefloor surrounding her friend.
'Wait a minute, are you saying he has powers?' Jesse knew that if her brother was a new mutant, then she was likely to be one as well. This would mean he found two new mutants...catching up with Shal.
'Of course!' She simply smiled innocently at him.
A few blocks down-
Shalimar had had a hard time fighting him. He was making her feel powerless and by now, she was simply fighting from her common knowledge. She still had the elegance of a feral, but not the skill. She wasn't as quick and was taking a lot of blows to the stomach. He had finally broken her down and forced her against the nearest wall.
'Not so tough now eh, kitty?'
'Who are you?'
'Somebody who you interupted in his dealing. Now, what did you see?' Unknown to him, Shalimar hadn't seen any of his 'business'. He wasn't going to accept 'nothing' as an answer, though.
'I didn't see anything! I don't know what you're talking about!' By now Shalimar was scared. She knew he was a new mutant, but now gathered that as well as being a feral, he was also a psionic after experiencing sudden feelings of being useless and powerless.
'Wrong answer!' He didn't like the answer, and slammed her into the wall again as a result of this. He was a psionic, but didn't have control of his powers like Shalimar and Jesse. He couldnt' control his powers, so he couldn't simply read her mind to see how much she had seen.
'I didn't see anything! NOW LET! ME! GO!!' Shalimar struggled against him, but failed. She simply spat in his face since she couldn't attack him.
'That was a bad move kitty!' He punched her in the face, causing the corner of her mouth to bleed.
'I don't know anything! I didn't see anything!'
'STOP LYING!!' And he punched her again now causing the side of her eye to bleed.
'What do you think I saw? And what would I do about it?' Shal was now hurting, but she wouldn't admit it to him. That was as bad as telling him he had won and giving in to him.
'YOU KNOW YOU SAW SOMETHING!! TELL ME!!' He was getting shaky and unstable now. He wasn't sure what he thought.
She realised he was getting scared, and turned her tone down one.
'Look, why don't you just let me go? And I won't tell anybody anything.'
'LIAR!! YOU WILL!! I KNOW YOU WILL!!' And using his hands, he clawed her across her right cheek leaving marks of trailing blood across her face.
'HEY!!' Shalimar heard a different voice from the man, and was somewhat relieved that someone might come to her rescue. Obviously, the canine feral hadn't heard him since he carried on looking at Shalimar. She saw a figure behind the man approach them and noticed he was quite tall. He now walked into sight, and Shalimar could see his facial features.
*He's quite...nice...! Stop it! You're up against a wall, forced by a canine feral, and you're bleeding!!* The canine was still oblivious to the man approaching behind him, when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned round, only to be struck in the face by a clenched fist.
'Didn't anybody ever tell you? Never hit a girl.'
'Woman...' Shalimar felt the need to interupt to correct him.
The canine fell to the floor releasing his grip on Shal. Startled by the sudden release, Shal fell on the floor sitting up with her back against the wall, and within seconds had lost consciousness.
TBC...please review if you haven't already! thanx!! If you like it, I'll carry on...and we'll all find out who the mysterious man is, and what happens to Melody & co.!
