Mutant X - "Home at Last"
Six members of the GSA pursue a woman through the dark alleys. She slips into a doorway leading into a softly lit warehouse. She runs through the aisles of boxes and crates, but soon finds herself at a dead end. She turns around and realize that the agents have caught up with her and have her cornered. She stands poised to fight. Jesse phases through the crates to her left and rushes towards the agents, attacking them. Shalimar jumps gracefully down from the top of the boxes and struggles with the remaining GSA members, some of whom have powers of their own. In the end, the agents are forced to retreat.
"It's okay now; we're here to help you," Shalimar tells the woman, placing a hand on her bare arm. The woman takes a sharp breath and her dark brown eyes begin to swirl into a color of molten gold. Shalimar appears to be stuck to her, though still as a statue and unable to struggle.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" Jesse demands, stepping towards them and reaching for Shalimar. Shalimar's eyes roll back into her head as she slumps to the floor, releasing her grasp on the woman's arm. Jesse kneels beside Shalimar, holding her wrist and glares up at the woman. She looks down at him and lets out a low growl as her eyes turn feral.
"We came to help! What did you do to Shal?" Jesse places Shalimar's head into his lap, studying her intently, then moves his hand to her neck to find her pulse. The woman's eyes soften as she watches.
"I'm sorry, Jesse." He again glances up at her, this time guarded.
"How do you know my name?" Jesse searches her eyes for sincerity and answers. He feels a familiar connection and his apprehension turns to shock.
"Shalimar?" She jumps up onto the crates and turns to look at him, then runs off not risking another glance behind her.
