Halfway down the empty alleyway they all heard a girl screaming for help. All four adults quickened their step and all transformed into battle mode. They stopped when they realised Leo and Angelie were following them.
"Stay here" Brennan told them
"But-!" Angelie started
"No buts" Shalimar stopped her daughter. "Its not safe for you and we don't have time to argue with you now do as we ask and stay here" The adults turned round to carry on running when they heard Leo following. Jesse turned back around again to face Leo.
"You too Leo" They spoke at the same time. He scowled and went back to stand with Angelie, watching as their parents ran off round the corner
Round the corner they found a young woman being held against the wall by two men with another three standing around.
"Hey, leave her alone" Jesse shouted at the men. They all looked round at the four mutants.
"Oh yeah?" The men laughed "And what are you going to do about it?" The leader said. Brennan stepped forward to reply.
"Well why don't we show you" The four of them ran forward engaging the five men in a fight. Shalimar took two of them while the other three took one each. They didn't notice two teenage heads pop round the corner, watching the on going fight. They watched as Jesse punched one guy, ducking another punch before kicking the guy to the ground punching him one more time letting his head fall unconscious on the ground. They looked over to where Brennan was. Without much effort he created a tessla coil and shot it at the attacking man. The shock made him jump into the air, hitting the wall behind him, instantly knocking him out. Lexa had kicked her opponent in the groin sending him forward. At his movements she elbowed his back sending him on the floor. The man sent out his leg in an attempt to deck Lexa but she dodged out the way and kicked the man in the stomach. Shalimar was also not having trouble with the two guys she was fighting. Jumping up into the air gracefully she kicked the two guys . One recovered quickly and went to kick Shalimar. Using her quick reflexes she rolled out of the way and sent out her own punches until they were both unconscious on the floor.
When it was all over Lexa went over to the woman who was cowering on the ground. Lexa reached out her hand towards the girl.
"Hey, its okay, you're safe" The woman looked up. Lexa helped the woman to her feet but before she could do anything the woman ran off. Watching her run off the spotted two heads disappearing round the corner trying not to be caught.
"Hey!" Brennan shouted. Knowing they had been seen, Leo and Angelie showed themselves, guilty looks on their faces. Brennan, Shalimar, Lexa and Jesse walked up to the two teenagers.
"We told you to stay where you were, those guys were dangerous and could have seriously hurt you!" Lexa told them.
"You had it under control" Leo replied.
"That's because we have lots of training and lots of experience" Brennan added.
"Not to mention the fact that you too are too young to get involved with this kind of stuff" Jesse lectured.
"We're sorry Dad" Leo apologized.
"We just want to keep you safe but we can't do that if you don't do as we say" Shalimar said.
"We understand Mom we do, we promise we won't do it again" Shalimar smiled and slung her arm round her daughter's shoulders.
"That's all we ask, now come on, I wanna put my new clothes on"
