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 5

(Mutant X)

"Okay, let's go over this one last time before we land." Adam said sternly as he opened up the map.

He turned to face his team, "Shalimar, Brennan and Lexa are taking the front entrance, make the biggest commotion you can but DO NOT get caught." Adam said sternly knowing full well that Shalimar and Brennan were not above being careless.

Lexa, he felt sure would be more careful because she was always so serious and collected.

He turned to Jesse and Emma, "As for you two, find a wall go through it and begin your search. If I'm not mistaken when the other three start they'll send the kids out after them." Adam said his eyes wandering over the faces of his team.

For their sake he hoped this went well.

(Eckhart)

Eckhart gazed in to the screen and smiled, the Double Helix had landed a few hundred yards from the building and he couldn't help feeling slightly excited.

"Sir should we begin preparations?" a male voice said from behind him.

Eckhart turned, "Yes." He said imperiously.

The man nodded and walked away, he began ordering people around in an attempt to prepare the building for the attack they were about to endure.

Eckhart stood up and left the room, he had to double-check the governors before Mutant X arrived.

Emma stepped off the plane and looked around, she didn't see anyone but something was clouding her senses.

"Shalimar do you sense anything?" she asked.

"Yeah but I can't figure out what it is or where it's coming from." She answered her eyes darting around in alarm.

Brennan waved their concern away and continued to walk in the direction of the warehouse. Shalimar and Lexa followed him leaving Emma and Jesse to make their way to the back of the building.

(Emma and Jesse)

"Come on Emma, we'd better get over there before it starts." He said as he turned and made his way to the back of the building. Emma glanced around again unsure and then followed him.

(Brennan & Co.)

"Brennan? Something's wrong, we're at the front of the gate and we still haven't seen any guards." Shalimar said her eyes becoming feral.

Brennan nodded and turned to her. "Kick it open." He said watching the woods for signs of trouble.

Shalimar grinned and went to kick the door but it swung open before she touched it. She stood gaping at the door, and then shook her head. She walked through the gates and glanced around.

Something about all of this was making her shiver. Something wasn't right, she hoped that Jesse and Emma were okay.

(Emma and Jesse)

Meanwhile Jesse and Emma had arrived at the back of the building and were surprised by not finding any guards patrolling the woods around the warehouse.

"Okay Em, I'll take us in through this wall but first let me see if it's clear." Emma nodded as Jesse phased through the wall and then reached back and grabbed her, phasing her and practically dragging her into the building.

"Okay so now which way?" Emma asked her eyes darting left and right looking for signs of trouble.

"Let's go this way." Jesse answered quietly pulling her along.

(Brennan & Co.)

Brennan Shalimar and Lexa quickly made their way to the front door of the building and peered inside.

"Still no one. You think this was a set up?" Lexa asked biting her lower lip in frustration.

"No but I do think they have something planned." Brennan answered with his face still pressed to the glass.

Shalimar pushed open the door and immediately wished she had just stayed outside.
