Disclaimer: I don't own Mutant X because if I did Emma would have never died. Jesse and Emma would be together forever, and Lexa would have a terrible accident that included but not restricted to mutilation and removal of limbs. This story doesn't really fit on the timeline. It just takes place a few months after Emma died on the show. WHICH I really hated! So I brought her back.
Children of the Future
Chapter 4
(Mutant X)
"So how did you find the blueprints for the warehouse where they're keeping the kids?" Brennan asked again suspicious of how easy it was.
"It was there in the file, it's most definitely a set-up but we have to get those kids out of there." Jesse said.
He knew why Brennan was worried and he completely understood but he still felt that they had to do something.
"I know we do but we have to be careful because being caught or killed won't help them at all." Brennan replied.
Jesse rolled his eyes and turned back to his computer and looked over the map.
"What if we split up and worked through different areas of the map and met in the middle? Since we don't know where they're keeping them?" Emma said as she gazed at the map over Jesse's shoulder.
"That's an idea but the question is would we all be able to make it through on our own?" Lexa asked.
"I think we'd have to just take that chance." Adam answered.
Lexa turned, "How will you get in there?"
"I'm not going to, I have no powers, so I'll stay in the Double Helix and guide you all through the building and then I'll help you out once you've destroyed the sub-dermal controllers." Adam answered glaring at her slightly.
Lexa realized she was threading on think ice and backed off.
"Okay so now we have to decide who's going where and make sure we're ready." Jesse said turning to the team.
"Problem there is only one way in." Emma said realizing it for the first time. "All those other areas are sealed."
"Okay well what if Brennan, Lexa and Shalimar go through the front and stir up a little commotion and you two can sneak in the back." Adam said looking at them.
"Not a bad idea. They have the most fire power and can definitely get some attention, what do you think Emma?" Jesse asked looking up at her.
"Let's do it." Emma said more then willing to throw herself into it.
"Okay I want you all to stay in constant contact." Adam said, his final bit of advice.
"All right them let's get this show on the road!" Shalimar said eager to kick some ass.
"Don't you mean get this show in the air?" Lexa said, everyone just turned and looked at her. "Fine remind me never to crack a joke!" she muttered. The rest of the team just turned away and left the room, trying not to tell her how stupid she had just sounded.
(Eckhart)
"Did they take the bait?" Eckhart asked from his swivel chair behind his enormous white desk.
"Yes sir, the trackers say they entered the trap file and the secret tracking virus has been uploaded to the Double Helix. We should have a tap on their location in a matter of seconds." A heavyset meaty-handed man answered from his computer below.
"Good, now excuse me while I prepare my pets." Eckhart said as he swept from the room. He was so confident that he was going to succeed that he was practically dancing through the halls.
Finally he would be rid of them and could continue his research. After knocking down a young woman in the hall and bumping into two of his scientists without realizing he'd done any of it he reached the holding cells.
"Conner?" he yelled.
"Y…ye…yes sir?" a small stuttering man said from behind him.
"Where are they?" Eckhart demanded looking around for his creations.
"They are outside." The sniveling man answered.
"WHAT! Why are they outside?" he demanded.
"W…we…well, th…they…ar..are…chil…children,…si…sir." The man stuttered.
"You fool! Can't you speak one word without stuttering you blubbering idiot!" Eckhart yelled. "Bring them inside!"
The man ran to the door and yelled out, "Cr's? Come in!" A few seconds' later six teenagers walked into the room talking and laughing.
"SILENCE!" Eckhart yelled.
The teenagers looked up at him in shock and alarm. Eckhart stopped and suddenly wondered what would happen if their sub-dermal governors ever stopped working.
He shook the thought away, "You are being given a mission. We are about to be attacked by a band of criminals with special powers, when they arrive you are to attack and destroy them, no questions asked understand?" Eckhart demanded gazing at each in turn.
"Yes sir" Cr113 said firmly.
Eckhart nodded and left the room.
The sniveling man followed him out, "Sir are you not alarmed that the Mutant X is coming to free them?"
"Not at all, they will be destroyed by the very things they are trying to save." Eckhart said smugly as he strode away.
