Chapter 20: Home
"Who do you think was behind it all?" Emma asked looking around at the others.
They'd all settled in the rec. room for a quiet afternoon.
"It can't have been Eckhart or Ashlocke," Jesse stated, "we would have known."
"So who does that leave in the present list of bad-guys?" Shalimar asked.
"Everyone and anyone," Adam sighed, "there are just too many out there to know for sure. Xavier called, Ororo and Logan are back to normal."
"That's good," Emma smiled, "what was with Ororo and plants?"
"She's claustrophobic. In Xavier's institute she live at the top. The roof is glass and she has plants everywhere."
"What else did Xavier say?"
"He found where the 'bad-guys' were working. They both got away and one of them had a vial containing the formula that turned you into children."
"So?"
"We have to watch out for them. Xavier can't pin-point them anywhere."
"Who are they?"
"The author and the little white bear that sits on her desk. The bear's in charge and the author just does all the work."
"Well that's new... kinda," Brennan stated.
"Yes but we'll never be able to catch them," Jesse added, "the author can just write us or them to another place if we get too close."
"And what about the vial? What's gonna happen to it's contents?" Emma asked quietly.
"They're going to release it somewhere," Adam replied, "that's all I know."
"Great," Shalimar sighed, "bad-guys we can't fight or get close too. Everyone will be turning into children. Fate knows no bounds does it?"
"Calm down Shal," Brennan told her, "it's not gonna be the end of the world."
"You sure about that?" Jesse asked him.
"None of you will turn again, the formula works on a person once and only once. And then it only works on mutants so it won't be that bad," Adam added.
"So what you're saying is, there's two bad guys out there with th ability to turn almost every single mutant into a child," Emma summed up.
"Yes," Adam replied simply.
"That's just great."
Adam smiled slightly; "At least we know who we're looking for. We'll just never be able to catch them."
