~ Brennan's Apartment, the same time ~

The doorbell rang, just as he was pulling a shirt over his head. He had just come out of the shower relaxed and calm, in preperation for some serious training.

'Okay I'm coming!! Give me a sec!'

He finished getting dressed and walked out to the corridor in his apartment. He made sure his bedroom door was closed, and that there wasn't any mess lying around. After all, it was important to make a good first 'apartment' impression.

Two minutes later, he walked to the door and opened it, not surprised to see a shorter brunette man there.

'Hi Adam. Welcome to my apartment. It's a little messy, sorry.'

'Hi Brennan. It's fine, honestly. My room's always a sty, until my friends get me to clean it up!'

Brennan laughed uncomfortably, and nervously since he didn't know whether it was meant to be funny or not. He was trying really hard to make a good impression here, he had a feeling that this was it...the deciding moment.

He didn't want to live the rest of his life pick-pocketing and stealing all the time. He had always promised his grandmother that he would make something of himself. And what would be better than to be a superhero, saving people? This was one important step in his life, and he was sure that being on Mutant X would make a BIG change.

'So um...what did you um..have planned for today? More training?'

'Actually Brennan, I wanted to watch you fight. I want to bring you back to Sanctuary, and put you up against a hologram. If that goes well, then I'll wait for my team to get back and put you against one of them. If that goes well, then...well, we'll work it out from there.'

'Cool! I mean um...yeah, that sounds fine.'

Brennan had a little trouble hiding his excitement, and Adam noticed. Adam was watching his expressions ever since he opened the door. He had actually decided that Brennan would be a good addition to Mutant X, but he needed to see him fight. In order for Brennan to put his all into those fights, he decided that he would tell him that he was still deciding whether to put him on the team or not. He knew that Brennan would do anything to be on Mutant X.

'Right then, since I know the way...I'll drive, shall I?'

'Um..okay.'

The two men walked out of Brennan's apartment and got in the car parked outside. Adam turned the ignition on, and drove out of the carpark with Brennan in the passanger seat.

*This is gonna be brilliant. Jesse's gonna love him, and Shalimar and Emma. There's nothing bad about him. He can be the last member of Mutant X.*

Adam drove the same way back to Sanctuary, since there was only one way in and out by car. He made sure that Brennan couldn't see the way into Sanctuary, just in case. And he parked the car in the usual spot and climbed out, after giving Brennan the ability to see again!

'Wow.'

One word managed to escape his lips as he got used to the light again. It didn't take long, but he then spent the next ten minutes examining everything in Sanctuary, as Emma did the first time she came.

'Well then Brennan, let's head to the dojo shall we?'

~ Club ~

'Shal!!'

Again for the second time, she jumped out of her fantasy world to the sound of her friend's voice.

'Emma...how was your dance, or should I say, dances with Jesse?'

'OH! Brilliant! He's such a great dancer...strong arms...you know the drill.'

Shalimar laughed at Emma's face.

'Where is lover-Jesse then?'

She laughed again, as Emma's face turned a darker shade of pink...if that was possible.

'He's buying more drinks...and speaking of Jesse, he wants a dance with you. What's up? You seem really distant...thinking of YOUR loverboy?'

'Firstly, good...I need another drink. Secondly, he can dance with me when he asks. Thirdly, nothing's up. Just a bit bored and tired. Fourthly, I'm just distant cause I'm thinking of things. And lastly, he's not my loverboy. He's just a friend.'

'Oh my god Shal! Even if I wasn't a psionic, I wouldn't believe you!! I don't know who you're trying to kid!!

Whatcha think? Flames welcome...any feedback :)
