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.

Another Episode of Reviewer Responses by the cast of Children of the Future:

Emma's Answer: (laughing hysterically at the pain cliffys cause) Ahh, but she can!

Mxfan214: Ok, you can't leave us hangin like that.. Please update soon.

Emma's Answer: (more hysterical laughing) If you thought that was bad wait until you read the cliffys in this baby! Oh and by the way here's an update!

Next Chapter on Reviewer Reponses, we welcome Jesse to the team! (This is fun!)

Children of the Future

Chapter 6

(Emma and Jesse)

Emma tried to sense for minds in the building but she still couldn't sense anything and it was beginning to scare her. "Jess I don't know if there is anyone here or not." She whispered as they turned the corner and came face to face with a group of Genomex agents.

Jesse shoved her against the wall and solidified his body as a shower of bullets enveloped their bodies. "Hold on." He whispered.

Suddenly he phased them again and turned to face the agents, Emma sent a mental wave to them causing them to fall into a deep sleep.

"Nice job." Jesse said as he edged around the sleeping agents. He looked up and noticed Emma wasn't moving and it looked like she'd seen a ghost.

"Em? What's wrong?" he asked glancing around just in case she had seen a ghost.

"It was all a set up. We have to warn the others!" she cried. Jesse turned the com-link on but it was filled with static.

"Her powers, their interrupting the radio frequency! We have to find them, come on!" Emma said as she grabbed his arm and began running down the hall.

(Shalimar & Co.)

Shalimar opened the door and was met with a room full of Genomex agents. She dodged to one side as waves of bullets were launched at her but a wall of flame suddenly appeared in front of her and she screamed.

NO! She backed away and then turned to run but discovered she was completely trapped in a circle of fire. Her carnal urge to run was overpowering her human senses and she felt herself slipping into a mindless void. She collapsed and the fire disappeared.

"SHALIMAR!" Brennan yelled as he fought off several agents who had attacked seconds after he walked in behind Shalimar. Suddenly he felt a bolt of electricity hit his abdomen and he was thrown against the wall.

He screamed as the energy kept flowing into his body in waves of electricity. He caught sight of a blinding light as the electricity stopped and he collapsed to the ground.

He struggled to his feet and noticed Lexa was firing off bolts of light at the agents after saving him. He looked around and caught sight of Shalimar surrounded by a bunch of teenagers. He suddenly realized who they were and almost screamed in frustration.

He knew going up against them would be suicide until the governors were removed but he also knew that if he stayed where he was it would be the end of Shalimar, and that was the last thing he was going to allow. He launched himself at a young girl with black hair, he realized just before impact that he had attacked Lexa's daughter.

(Emma and Jesse)

Emma pulled Jesse through the building in a terrifying rush, he stumbled more then once just trying to keep up with her. "Emma, stop what's going on?" he demanded pulling her to a jerky stop knowing full well that something bad was happening and she was not telling him.

"I…" Emma began but suddenly she was thrown forward knocking Jesse over and they landed in a heap against the wall. Emma knew without turning around what she would see and she dreaded having to do what she knew she had to.

She struggled to her feet and slowly turned to face her daughter. She narrowed her eyes at the advancing girl and suddenly heard a voice inside her head.

Hahahahahaha, don't make me laugh. Your pathetic powers are an embarrassment compared to mine. Hahahahaha didn't your mommy ever teach you not to play games with people's minds? The voice whispered in a mocking tone. Emma's gaze flew to her daughter's face and knew in an instant there was no way she could stop her.
