Chapter 2: Chance Meeting.


Jesse awoke, after nearly 5 hours of sleep, that he desperately needed. He sat up in his bed, and put his feet on the floor. For weeks now, he had been struggling to get sleep. It seemed everything in his life was spinning out of control, he put his head in his hands and started thinking back over the last few weeks ........

The Dominion, who we thought were our allies, are our enemies, Adam is a clone of some mad scientist, can only imagine how Adam feels about, cause he was kidnapped. Well, at least we know he is alive, cause they need him too much to kill him. Sanctuary was destroyed, and the Double Helix is gone. We've been living in the very safe-houses we helped create ..........

His train of thought broken by a knocking at his hotel room door. "Hold on coming." he said, realizing he was still in just his boxer shorts, grabbed the robe off the bed, and wrapping himself in it.

"Yea, " he said as he opened the door. Standing there was a waiter, pushing a dinner cart. "I didn't order anything."

"No, but your wife did. She called it in."

"My wife?"

Jesse looked at the table. There was a plate covered by a silver dome-shaped lid.

"Thanks, " handing him a $20 tip.

After he closed the door, he moved the cart to the center of the room. Walked over to the corner, picking up the straight-backed chair, and moving it to the cart, sitting down he lifted up the lid to find a white envelope, with his name, written across the front." This is too much fiber, even for me."

He opened the envelope. Inside was the picture of a young woman, with long black hair. He turned over the picture, and printed in the top, was the name Dasimah Imah.

Up till now he had no idea what she looked like, cause there was no picture of her in the database. Noticing there was still a letter inside the envelope, he took the letter out and read it .......

Dear Mr. Kilmartin,

I send this picture to you in hope that you can stop her before she succeeds in her plan. If she succeeds, life as you know it, will cease to exist. I worked with Adam years ago, and he told me, that if Dasimah was ever reactivated to contact you if I couldn't find him. Please Mr. Kilmartin, stop her, before it's too late.

Signed,

The Gold Stranger


As Jesse finished reading the note he wondered who this Gold Stranger was, and how they were connected to Dasimah. And wondered if they could be trusted.

He decided to go after the waiter to ask him who brought him his "Breakfast". He opened the door, and walked toward the elevator, just around the corner. The waiter was there, waiting for the elevator to arrive.

"Excuse me, um, I have a question about my breakfast."

"Yes sir, Mr. Kendall?" answered the waiter.

"When I lifted the lid, instead of food, I got a note."

"A note? I just delivered what I was told too. You might want to talk to management. Also breakfast is still being served downstairs, in the hotel cafeteria, I am sure management will not charge you for this was a mistake, surely."

"Yeah, sure it was." Said Jesse realizing this guy had no idea what Jesse was talking about. "I will be more than happy to come downstairs and have breakfast."

"Sir, we have a dress-code." the waiter said. Jesse looked down and realized he was still in his robe.

" I think I need to go change."

"See you downstairs then, Mr. Kendall."

Jesse walked back into his room, closing the door behind him. He started going through duffel bag to find what he wanted to wear. Have to go shopping for more clothes later. He thought as he finally found what he wanted.

"Hey guys, you there?" he said into his com-ring. Secretly thanking Adam for having the sense to route the signal of the com-rings through a satellite, instead of through Sanctuary. Cause if he had, the com-rings would be worthless.

"Yea, Jesse, we're here buddy, what's up?" said Brennan.

"I just got an anonymous tip about Dasimah. With a picture of the girl I am looking for, needless to say, it helps."

"Are you sure the anonymous tip is right? Could be the Dominion, trying to throw you off the trail." said Lexa.

"Maybe, I will be careful, whoever this Gold Stranger person is ......."

Lexa butted in before he could finish the sentence." Wait! What did you say?"

"What? You mean Gold Stranger? Lexa, do you know who this is?"

"Yes, we trained together. And now I guess it's good time as any to tell about that part of my past. You already know I was apart of Mutant X for 2 years. Before any of you were here. Gold Stranger is Mari Rosario."

"Mari Rosario, wait I saw her name on some of the files that I decrypted a few weeks ago." said Jesse, as he sat down on his bed, after putting his pants on.

"Well, what those files didn't tell you, is that before she went to work for the Dominion, she was apart of Mutant X with me, and Dasimah Imah."

"Whoa, two weeks ago you said you didn't know Dasimah personally." said Shalimar, obviously pissed.

"Yeah, that's because I wasn't sure if she was the same person she was when I knew her. "

"Wait, if she was a member of Mutant X, why couldn't we find a picture of her in the database?" asked Jesse, putting his shirt on.

"Cause after I arrived at Sanctuary last year. I deleted her files, and photos for the Dominion."

"Lexa, if you expect us to trust us, you have to be honest with us." said Brennan.

"Honesty is new for me, and as far as trust, that is something that I don't do." she said, "And if you were smart, you wouldn't either."

"Guys, don't mean to interrupt here, but Lexa, I really need you to tell me everything. So I know what I am getting myself into here." said Jesse. Putting his shoes on.

"Like I was saying, we trained together, us three girls, and Max Laken, also on your list Jesse. " She said before Jesse could interrupt her again. " Anyway, Mari is an Intangible Molecular she can manipulate molecules around her to make a shield, like your massing, that can deflect certain powers, but not all. We learned the hard way."

"What do you mean, the hard way?" asked Brennan.

"One day while training with me and Dasimah, we were throwing different tricks at her, cause if she didn't create this field around her in time, an enemy could hit her when she was vulnerable. While Dasimah hit her with fire, lightning, telsa balls, I hit her with light, disappeared and flashed her, all she was able to defend against. Until ....." she broke off shuttering at the memory.

"Lexa," Shal said as she walked over to place her hand on Lexa's shoulder, this is the closet the two women had been since Lexa joined Mutant X a year ago. For the last few weeks though Shalimar had been trying to get closer to Lexa, for Jesse's sake.

"Everything was going fine, then Dasimah threw, what can only be described as a telsa ball, but instead of electricity, she send water. Then, Dasimah sent a current of electricity right after it. Mari had her shield up, but the mixture of water and electricity broke through her shield, and started electrocuting her. She passed out in the floor, we thought she was dead. We yelled for Adam, he came in and he was able to save her."

"Did Dasimah try to kill Mari on purpose?" asked Shalimar, suddenly aware that they had sent Jesse on a mission, were they had no idea about their enemy.

"No, she didn't. She was 13 when it happened, still learning to control her powers. Mari and I were both 20. "

"Lexa, how can be so sure she didn't do it on purpose?" asked Brennan.

"Cause, until that day, she didn't know she had the ability to control water. Adam didn't know either. She meant to throw a telsa ball, and then hit Mari with electrical currents. She let lose the water, and before she realized what she had done, she threw the currents."

"Is there anything else I need to know before I meet Dasimah?" asked Jesse, sounding uncomfortable at what Lexa was telling them, "Wait, why did she leave Sanctuary?"

"It was about 6 months after the incident. Her abilities became unstable, she couldn't control them. They were killing her. So, Adam tried a risky procedure on her, using a sub-dermal governor, he placed it in the back of neck, like mine. He had rewired hers though, not to control her, but to use it to help stabilize her abilities, till he could figure out another way. She stabilized though, only to leave us one night, to return to Eckhart. " Lexa said with distaste in her voice.

"What? How?" asked Brennan, not liking at all what he was hearing about this girl so far.

" Well what Adam hadn't known was that Eckhart, had made the sub-dermal governor, to relocate mutants who got away. And it was remote controlled. All he had to do was push a button, and the mutant's governor, would click on, and make them return to Eckhart, or whoever was holding the controls. Adam had rewired it, but he didn't know the remote control device was still in Eckhart's possession, as far as he knew the remote had been destroyed .You all unfortunately saw mine in action. I got mine from Eckhart himself though, not by accident the way Dasimah got hers."

"How did she end up with the Dominion?" asked Shal.

"We got her back from Eckhart, but like me, we were unable to remove the governor. So Adam called the Dominion, and they deactivated it, like mine." she said almost amused. " And she felt she owed them, and left Mutant X forever."

"Did you two ever see each other after that?" asked Shal, removing her hand from Lexa but still sounding comforting. She could feel the pain in Lexa voice. And for some reason, Shalimar understood Lexa.

"Only in passing, I saw her a few times while I was with the Dominion, but we never talked or anything. " she said stopping at a thought, she wasn't willing to have.

"Lexa, what is it?" asked Shal, placing her hand back on Lexa.

"When she was 13, she was spunky, and full of life, like you, Shal. Last time I saw her, was last year, age 15. Her eyes had no feelings in them. She was sad and lost."

"Lexa, you have any idea what she is planning on doing for the Dominion?" asked Jesse.

"No, but to pay her 1.7 million to pull it off, you can bet it isn't good."

"What about Mari? Would she have any idea?" asked Jesse. Glancing down at the letter in his hands. "I mean, she must if she went to the trouble of sending me this letter."

"More than likely she does, she continued her friendship with Dasimah, even after the incident. Mari was with the Dominion for about 6 months and transferred to another position. Let me talk to her Jesse."

"Lexa, she must be close, in order to send me a letter." said Jesse.

"Jesse, I am looking at the computer. Her address is in New York. Let me call and see if she is there. If not, we will locate her, even if she is closer to you than I think." Lexa said. Lexa walks away from Shal and Brennan.

"Where you going?" asked Brennan. "We aren't done here."

"Going to call Mari." she said. "Brennan I don't have anything else to tell." she said as she walked out of the room, heading to the kitchen of the safe-house.

Shal reached out her hand to stop Brennan from following her. "Brennan leave her alone. Give her time, if there is more, she will tell us."

"Shal, Jesse is in Singapore risking his life to save us from God knows what, we need to know what he up against. And I am not going to let her wiggle out of telling us."

"Brennan, calm down. I think she did tell us everything we needed to know. I admit, there is something she isn't telling, but I think it is more personal, than important."

"Jesse, just lay low until we can figure out what your next move will be." said Brennan.

"OK, well hurry, I am going out for breakfast. So see what you can find out while I am gone."

"OK, deal!" said Brennan.

OK, not as short as my last chapter,lol. Review please!! More Jesse in next chapter.
