Mutation – Chapter 4
Thank you for all your reviews; they are greatly appreciated
Disclaimer: I do not own Mutant X even though I will personally own Brennan some day, he is so hot, anyway…I do not make any profit from this story, what so ever.
Shalimar walked through the open door into Eckhart's, the office was empty, that wasn't right, she had seen Eckhart walk into it an hour ago, this was weird, but she had a mission to do, and that came first. She looked towards the desk and saw a computer terminal; she stepped towards it and Eckhart's chair turned around to face Shalimar, and in it…was Jesse, "Jesse, what the hell are you doing here, I almost had a heart attack?" said Shalimar in a shocked voice, "Waiting for you, I phased in through that wall over there and Eckhart wasn't here, he must have a second way in and out of this room, but anyway…I've found the only copy of the video and I watched it, it is clear enough to easily expose who we are and that we are no ordinary people, but it's been edited, it now looks like I was shot at it with a gun instead of an energy beam, the GSA is making it so that only we are exposed to the world. I've deleted the copy and I found two more on the central computer system, I wanted to erase their hard drives completely but it would have taken to long to break the encryption lock," Jesse replied. "That's okay, we came here to do what we had to do, so let's get to the rendezvous point and see if Brennan and Emma have found something," said Shalimar. Jesse held Shalimar's hand and stepped towards the wall, "Ladies first," said Jesse and dropping Shalimar hand, he placed his other hand on the wall and phased it so Shalimar could step through, once she was gone, he let the wall return to it's normal mass and he phased himself to pass through it.
20 minutes later, Emma was sitting in the car waiting for any sign of movement near the studio, Brennan was inside the building, trying not to be suspicious, he was looking to see if the video had been sent in an e-mail. Emma was about to give up when she saw it, a black unmarked SUV came round the corner, and the only occupant was the driver. He got out and it was only then that Emma recognized him, it was Daniel Williams, he stepped away from the car and moved towards the building, Emma quickly got out and followed him, he opened the door to the studio but she was close enough to telekinetically close it before he walked through.
"What now," thought Williams, he turned round and saw someone he had been hoping to meet for a while, Emma Delauro, one of the most powerful psionics on record, he had been hoping for a chance to battle her face to face without interruption, this was going to be fun.
He conjured a bolt of energy to hurl at her but she moved first, with a flick of the wrist, Emma sent the agent crashing against a wall, it took a couple of seconds to get up and when he did, he took a disk case out of his coat pocket, it was the disk that had the video footage that could destroy Mutant X's chance to free new mutants from a life in a stasis pod. He checked that the disk was fine and made to put it in his pocket when it was wrenched from his hand and it speeded over too Emma, floating in front of her face. She smiled like a little schoolgirl and conjured a ball of psionic energy in front of her face; she sent it at the disk where it blew up, totally decimating the disk and any evidence of Mutant X's existence.
"She will pay for that," Williams thought and with a howl of vengeance, de-materialized, he re-materialized behind her and conjured a bolt of green energy, she would suffer eternity in a stasis pod for destroying his career, he may have lost the disk, but a member of Mutant X was far more valuable than their exposure. But before he could land his blow, he was literally blown away. Emma turned around when she felt the shockwave of the explosion hit her. She had just watched Williams disappear into nothing and was wondering where he had gone, as she turned, she saw Jesse with his hands raised with Shalimar and Brennan behind him, and Emma instantly understood what had happened, Jesse had finally got a chance to use his explosive power, and it was pretty explosive, there was not even dust left from Williams body.
A couple of hours later when everyone had returned to Sanctuary, they were watching a report from Proxy Blue, she said, "No new information about the supposed battle in the abandoned warehouse and know word from my informant, I think this was all a big hoax to distract us from other issues…"
"Well once again you have proved to be stronger than the GSA, just like I said you would," Adam said with a smile on his face.
"When do we not?" asked Shalimar with a feral grin.
Well, that's the end of that story people, thank you all for your reviews and if you liked this story, then please tell me and I will write others.
