Fight The Power

Revolution pulled her ponytail through the back of Jesse's ratty old baseball hat and set to work.

"I don't know how you do this," exclaimed Emma as she set a can of coke beside Revolution "Computers make my head hurt."

"Stick with me kid, and I'll have you navigating the superhighways like one of the Andretti brothers." said Revolution.

"Jesse tried to teach me all this once," exclaimed Emma.

Revolution laughed.

"Ah, but my boy is a mere amateur...Oh Balls!"

"What?" asked Emma.

"Another damn dead end!" said Revolution "Ah hell, I'll do the CIA later, the FBI is a far easier target."

"You know, for some strange reason, that sentence makes me highly uncomfortable."

Revolution laughed.

"Well, looky here." said Emma.

"What is it?" asked Revolution.

"Three Japanese business men die in strange fire."

Emma handed Rev the translated pages from the Asahi Shimbum, the major Japanese paper.

"Says they were owners of Aircorp, a company that manufactures airplane parts." said Revolution.

Emma laughed when Revolution's eyes lit up like Christmas lights. Her fingers flew across the keyboard with incredible speeds.

"A Ha!" she yelled.

"What is it?" asked Emma.

"Airplane parts, my ass!" yelled Revolution.

Revolution pointed to the computer screen where the FBI had so conveniently kept records of the actions of major terrorists factions. A faction based in California had order several pounds of high powered explosives from AirCorp.

"New Order...New Order." said Emma.

"Name sound familiar?" asked Rev.

"Yeah...keep looking. I gotta go give Lux a call."

"Not a problem," said Rev taking a swig of her coke.

Emma dialed the familiar number and smiled when Lux Windsor's face filled the screen.

"Hello, friend," Lux exclaimed smiling brightly.

"Hello, friend," said Emma in return.

"What can I do for you?"

"New Order."

Emma saw the immediate fury in the beautiful women's face.

"Who are they, Lux?" asked Emma.

"A dangerous group of mutants." said Lux tucking her hair behind her ears.

So someone took out the businessmen who had been selling explosives to mutants? thought Emma.

"Can you send me any information you have on them?"

Lux nodded.

Revolution watched in awe as new cases of SHC popped up. Tel Aviv, India, England, Indonesia, Bosnia.

"Did you find anything?" asked Emma as she came back in.

"Yes," replied Revolution "We need to call Adam and tell him."
