Mutation – Chapter 2
To recap on the first chapter; the team have mutated once again and have some powerful gifts. Emma is now telekinetic, Brennan can throw balls of high voltage electricity, Shalimar can turn herself into a very large lion and Jesse can freeze time and blow things up (Jesse's powers came from Charmed and they work by slowing down or speeding up molecules, since he is a molecular and can already control his own molecules, I thought it would be cool to give him some serious offensive power)
Thank you all so much for the reviews and please keep them coming in…

After the team had showed everyone the full extent of their new gifts, Adam called them to meet him at one of the computer displays. "We have another new mutant who wants to get to a safe house soon, he thinks there are people after him, if that's true, it could be the GSA" said Adam once the team had gathered around him. "What can he do?" asked Emma who had managed to stop objects randomly floating around her. "He is a psionic with the power to hypnotize people and make them do his bidding" replied Adam, "He has set a rendezvous point so I want Emma and Jesse to go and get him, Shalimar and Brennan will be near by in case the GSA show up, the meeting point is an old warehouse in Boston, I'll send the exact co-ordinates to the Helix once your on your way". "No problem, let's get going," said Jesse, eager to get out of Sanctuary, they had all been kept in their home for a whole three days until they had all managed to properly control their powers and were all looking forward to stretching their legs.
Jesse and Emma walked into the warehouse in Eastern Boston at the designated time to find the building totally empty. "We should have guessed something like this would happen, when do any of our pick-ups ever go according to plan" Jesse said to Emma while she psionically searched the building for life. "Wait," Emma told Jesse just before he started to move out, "there are a dozen people surrounding us on all sides, and they feel particularly nasty, I think they might be GS agents". As she finished saying this, a dozen bulky men armed with what looked like electric cattle prods appeared from behind walls and abandoned machinery. "Should we call for Brennan and Shalimar?" asked Emma while Jesse examined the situation. "No, we can easily handle this, not a problem," said Jesse with a smirk. "That is what you think Mr Kilmartin" said a menacing voice and out of no-where a very mean looking man dressed in a black suit materialized out of no-where, he lifted his hand and it began to glow and eerie green colour and he threw a beam of energy at Jesse, which hit him even as he massed out and sent him flying into a wall, Jesse looked out for the count at the moment, Emma made a decision, "Brennan, Shalimar, the pick-up was a trap, there are about a dozen GS agents and Jesse is out for the count, some guy threw a beam that sent him flying even when he massed out". "Don't worry Emma, Brennan and me are only a few hundred metres from the warehouse, hold those goons of for a couple of minutes." Said an alerted Shalimar threw the communicator ring on Emma's finger, and the battle began full swing. Emma had practiced hard with her new power and could do many tricks with it, such as jumping 6 feet in the air to kick one agent in the head with a telekinetically powered kick, to the agent, it felt like a steel wall had just smacked into his head, he flew several feet in the air, dragging to agents along with him. The weird guy with the beam power aimed at her and as he fired and the bolt of energy flew towards her, she deflected it at another agent, knocking him out cold, just like it had to Jesse. Brennan and Shalimar burst in a couple of seconds later and after showing themselves to the agents, pounced on them with balls of electricity and a few claw swipes, the fight was over in seconds, and Mutant X were the clear winners. Brennan ran over to help Jesse get up, "You lazy bugger, while we fight the good fight, you lie there and do absolutely nothing, unbelievable," said Brennan in a sarcastic voice while standing with his hands on his hips pretending to be all serious, if it wasn't for the huge grin on his face, Jesse would have been fooled. "Give it a rest, it's not as if you haven't been knocked out in a fight," said Jesse in an equally sarcastic voice. The four friends regrouped and left the building, little did they know, they were being watched closely and in a dark room somewhere, a man smiled harshly as the four friends left, completely oblivious to the fact that they were on the verge of possible exposure to the non-mutant world.
Like last time, more reviews equals more chapters…
