Thank you all for the reviews, this is my first story so your reviews are all really encouraging, keep them coming in and if you have any suggestions, please tell me.

Disclaimer: I do not own Mutant X even though I will someday and I make no profit from this story what so ever.

"Adam, the pick-up was a GSA trap but we're all okay, there was a powerful mutant there with the ability to throw bolts of a green energy and de-materialize, he hit Jesse pretty hard even when he was massed out," Brennan said as he gave a report to Adam via the Double Helix communications array.

"I'll check the new mutant database for someone with that ability, I want you back here as soon as possible," said Adam and he cut the communications. The Double Helix landed at Sanctuary within 30 minutes.

"So Adam, any Idea who that new mutant was?" asked Emma as they all gathered next to the computer terminal Adam was working at.

"We got one hit when I looked for that sort of power, his name is Daniel Williams and he disappeared 2 years ago, probably into a stasis pod at Genomex," Adam told them.

"So now he is on the Genomex pay roll with a whole lot of power, just great," said Shalimar.

"Yeah but I'll bet that with all of your new gifts, you will be able to beat him and anyone else who Genomex tries to let loose on you," replied Adam in an encouraging voice.

A couple of hours after they had returned, Emma was watching Proxy Blue for anything interesting when she heard something very very interesting.

"A fight at an abandoned warehouse today involving a special police unit and some powerful renegades was completely recorded on disc today and my informant says that they will bring that disk to the studio in the next couple of hours, which we will then show to everyone, sounds cool huh," said proxy but Emma was already gone.

"Adam, we have a huge problem, our fight with Genomex was apparently caught on disk and is about to be shown to Proxy Blue, who will then show it to everyone else who watches her," said a breathless Emma when she finally found Adam in the lab with everyone else. "Apparently we are a bunch of renegades that was fighting a special police unit."

"Eckhart must have had the fight recorded so that he can expose us for who and what we are and that we are a threat, he could get public and government backing for finding the children of Genomex, even the mutants in the safe house wouldn't last long," said Adam as he quickly understood what happened, "We must get that disk before Eckhart gets it to Proxy Blue, Emma and Brennan, I want you to go to Proxy Blue's studio and wait for anyone who looks like they are from Genomex. Jesse and Shalimar, I want you two to infiltrate Genomex, you have done it before and your new gifts might help, see if the disk is there and if you can fond it and destroy all traces of it." Adam said, regaining some control of the situation.

"We going, don't worry Adam, that disk will not get to Proxy Blue no matter what we have to do, " said Shalimar in a confident voice, her eyes already glowing yellow like they did when she was about to fight.

Jesse was walking through the lobby of Genomex wearing a scientist jacket and carrying some papers, trying to look like he actually belonged there, he headed to the row of lifts at the end of the lobby, looking at the menu, he saw research and development, basement. Smiling, he pressed the button and felt the lift start to go down. Shalimar walked in ten minutes later dressed in a smart jacket and trousers, she looked like a manager in an office building, she walked to a lift different from the one Jesse used and got in, she too pressed the basement button and went down to the pits of Genomex. Brennan and Emma had the proxy studios completely covered and had been sitting for a whole 2 hours waiting on any sign of action, but no-one walked in or out of the building and they were starting to get bored.

"Anything your way Brennan?" Emma asked via the comm. Rings,

"Nothing, not even workers on a lunch break," Brennan replied in a very dull and bored voice.

At that same time, Jesse was phasing through a thick wall to get into the main computer room to see if there were copies of the video on the main hard drives. He came out on the other side of the wall and brought his mass back to normal and scanned the room, the was a one computer terminal in the room with many master computers lined up against 2 walls. There were two guards at the only door leading into the room, they hadn't seen Jesse yet so before they could react, he stepped out from behind one of the master computers and froze the room, he was tempted to blow them away with his other power but that would make far to much noise and could set of alarms, so he sat down and started hacking into the computer mainframe. Shalimar was hanging to an overhead support outside Eckhart's office, waiting for him to leave, she had used her increased hearing capabilities so she knew that Eckhart was talking to someone, five minutes later, the Daniel Williams left the room with a blank expression on his face and a sling around one arm, Brennan had hit him on the shoulder with a super charged energy ball, he had gone flying across the warehouse and crashed through a wall. Ten minutes after Mr Williams had left, Eckhart still happened left his office so Shalimar decided to go in, knock him out and access his computer. She jumped from her perch and landed in a crouched stance, ready for anyone who might have heard her land. She walked up to the door and it opened for her allowing access to Eckhart's office.

Decided to leave it as a cliff-hanger for you, tell me what you think and I will write more…
