***Chapter 5: Collision Course 101***

Brennan went to work on the 1952 Packard Parisan Coupe that Jesse got a few days ago. Despite the fact that Jesse will kill him if he found out, Brennan still wanted to play with it. Looking around the key cabinet, he wasn't able to find the keys. At that moment Brennan realized that Jesse hid the keys so no one could take the Packard for a little joyride. However that did not stop him. Brennan formed a bolt of electricity and sent it towards the car, making it unlock.

Smiling, Brennan said to himself, "Life is great" as he opened the car door, and popped the hood open.

Looking at the engine, Brennan was amazed at how this old model car has such a big and fast engine. Just looking at it, made him want to drive the Packard. So getting back into the car, Brennan stared up the car with some electricity.

Opening the garage door, Brennan (not knowing that the car was in reveres) put the petal to the metal. And what happened next was a total mess. The Packard blasted into reverse and was heading into a wall. Not having the keys, Brennan could not turn off the car and since he stared to panic he didn't realized just to step on the brake. So the car smashed into the 3- inch-thick plate of glass that separated the garage to the hallway that lead to Sanctuary's nerve center.

Jesse was fixing up the computer that Brennan fried early today. When he was finished, Jesse sat down at the computer and was about to turn it on. When he pressed the on button, he heard a very loud noise of glass braking. At first he thought it was the computer, but then Adam came running in.

"Jesse what the hell was that." Adam asked concern.

"I don't know."

Thinking for a moment of what that strange noise could be Jesse and Adam both looked at each other and in unison they said "Brennan."

"Jesse do you know where he might be?"

"He said he'll be in the gar." Jesse stopped himself when he realized what might have happened. "He wouldn't". Getting up Jesse started to run to the garage, with Adam right behind him.

Once they reached the hallway, Jesse stopped in disbelief. The Packard smashed in between the glass wall, with broken glass, and car parts scattered over the floor. As Brennan was getting out of the car, he started to apologize to the not-so-happy mutant walking towards him.

"What the hell Brennan!"

"Jesse, man I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.to."

"To hot wire my car. To drive it with out my knowledge. To demolish my car into 3 inches of glass!"

"I didn't hot wire the car. Jesse, man like I said I am so sorry. I'll do anything to make it up."

"Well you can start by cleaning up this mess you made. And then you get to bye Jess here a new car." Adam told Brennan. "And anything Jesse tells you to do."

"I told you Adam will have something for you to do." Jesse said smiling as he walked away.

Brennan looked around at the mess that he just made, Adam left and came back with a broom and handed it to Brennan. "Here knock yourself out." Adam said, walking away.

"Smooth Brennan.very smooth. Jesse better not tell the girls." Brennan said to himself, as he stared to sweep up the glass.
