Prologue

The Mission

"Shalimar… Brennan… Adam needs you right now. Something urgent just came up."

Shalimar stopped in the middle of the bite of her sandwich, and Brennan put his back on his plate.

"What happened Lexa?"

"Adam didn't say. He just said to get up there."

Sighing, Brennan rose from his chair as did Shalimar, but Shalimar took her sandwich with her. She was not about to loose her lunch just because Adam tells them that they have another mission, if indeed that was what it was. Now she just wasn't sure anymore. Adam seemed so spaced out and judged a tiny chemical spill of a very non-deadly mix to be an emergency. If he was a female, she would have thought him to be in that time of the month, but since he was a male, she couldn't.

"Good, you're here. Okay, here's the situation. I've been tracking a couple of very wealthy and influential people. They have been kidnapping mutants from around the world. And not just any mutant, they've been taking very powerful mutants."

"If the mutants are powerful, how can they kidnap them?"

"That's a good question Shalimar, and I have the answer. They've been using a serum called Blackblood. Injected into a mutant, the mutant becomes helpless as their powers are blocked temporarily."

"Where do you want us to go this time Adam?"

"Brennan… Shalimar… I want you two to go to Africa. That's where we lost half of their team. Lexa… Jesse… I want you two to go to Europe. That's where the other half of their team went. They are there for a mutant named… Jakal. He's a very expert killer, a head hunter/bounty hunter for the queen."

"What part of Africa will be going to?"

" Congo. They went deep into the north rainforest of Congo before we lost transmission."

"Okay, we're on it."

Brennan and Shalimar started their way to the ship. Lexa and Jesse were close behind them. They all took their seats and started up the jet. It was agreed that Emma and Jesse would be dropped off first and Shalimar and Brennan would take the jet to Congo. They would contact each other when they were complete, or in trouble.


A/N: Yey! I got another story started. I got this idea because I was watching Mutant X today and I decided I was going to look at a few ff and try my own after seeing what was put out there. Then, ideas started forming in my head before I even looked at the stories. So, here's what I got for the prologue. I'm sorry that it's short, but I didn't want to get to the really good stuff in the Prologue. I hope you liked the chapter. Please review me and tell me what you think.

I'm sorry for the mix up. Although I watch the episodes, I have not been able to watch them all and I have not seen them in a while. Yesterdays episode that I saw was an old one, but it was the first one in months that I had watched. I forgot that Emma had died, but looking up character profiles had admitted me to my ignorance and I had changed it. Please forgive me of my lack of knowledge.
