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:

Marie Crosby: You can't stop there...takes Brennan's powers, and zaps you until you start the next chapter!

Emma's Answer: Why would you take his powers? Mine are so much more sophisticated.

sclub: Uh oh, how are they going get out this one...or maybe they don't? Either way I'm sure you'll come up with something great.

So Jesse, just what are your feelings towards Emma? Lol

Emma's Answer: (more hysterical laughing) He LOVES me!

Jesse's Answer: Em, I think the reviewer was talking to ME not YOU! (pause) What she said.

Delauro: Cool story. Keep up the good work and update soon.

Jesse's Answer: Thank you, Thank you very much…(Don't ask me where that came from.)

Emma's Answer: (rolls eyes) No comment.

melodie568: really good i love it please keep writing and thanks for updating

Emma's Answer: How could she not update? If she didn't her head would explode! (evil laugh)

Jesse's Answer: (edges away from evil Emma) (whisper) I hope she doesn't try the head-exploding thing on me.

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

Children of the Future

Chapter 7

(Brennan & Co.)

Brennan tackled the dark haired girl and winced as they crashed to the ground and landed with him on top of her. Her eyes suddenly blazed and he was hit with a wave of light that threw him against the wall.

He slumped to the floor and then struggled to his feet, suddenly he was being helped to his feet by Lexa.

"I'll take care of her. Save Shalimar." She whispered as she quickly sent a blast of light at her daughter.

The light hit her square in the stomach and sent her flying into the kids behind her. Lexa moved to stand in front of Brennan and prepared a thick shield of light, already knowing what her daughter was going to do.

Suddenly a blast of light slammed into her shield, it bounced back and hit Brennan's son. He picked himself up off the ground and sent a bolt of electricity at Lexa knocking her off her feet.

Brennan winced at this but kept moving towards Shalimar. A boy was kneeling next to her with his hand hovering above her face and he could see a red mist rising from Shalimar's face.

Suddenly he realized it was Jesse's son and he kicked him in the side of the head and sent him flying against the opposite wall. The kick must have triggered something because he sat up and looked around, like he was confused about something.

Then his eyes darkened, "That son of a bitch!" he yelled. He stood up and turned to survey the room. He sighed and walked through the wall behind him.

Brennan watched him in amazement before realizing he must have short-circuited the governor. He sighed thankful to be rid of one of them, then he turned just in time to see his son punch Lexa in the stomach as her daughter held her arms behind her back.

Blood was seeping from the corner of her mouth and she had long since passed out. Brennan growled, he'd teach that kid a lesson. He set Shalimar back down and summoned up as much energy as he could and sent it at his son.

The force of the hit was so strong it sent the boy through the wall. Lexa's daughter cursed and threw her to one side before running over to help him up.

They stood and shot a mix of electricity and light at the three mutants. Brennan looked up and knew there was no escaping the blast.

(Emma and Jesse)

"Jesse run." Emma murmured as she stood up preparing to battle her daughter.

Jesse got to his feet and shook his head, "Not a chance." He said calmly.

"Jesse this is not the time, I might be able to fend her off but you won't stand a chance, please run." Emma whispered fighting the fear that was rising into her voice.

Jesse saw the attack before Emma did and he grabbed her and pulled her to his chest and then dispersed their molecules. When they came back together Jesse was hit with a mental blast that sent him flying to the other end of the hall where he slumped to the ground, unconscious.

Emma screamed as he hit the wall and tried to run to him but for some reason she couldn't make herself move.

"What…what are you doing?" Emma cried trying to reach Jesse. She had to make sure he was okay.

"Ahh, is lover-boy taking a nap?" the girl whispered in a mocking tone. Emma's eyes blazed at the sound of her voice.

"Your going to pay, I don't care if you are my daughter!" she said her voice low and dangerous.

"You're a joke. My mother was powerful, a goddess compared to you! Your nothing but a common criminal." The girl smirked.

"Is that what he told you? Well LITTLE girl he lied and you just made a big mistake." Emma said her voice still low and dangerous.

Emma sent all of the pain she had ever felt and directed it into a psi attack. Then she launched it at the girl before she had any kind of warning. Just before it hit, the girl got a strange look on her face like she didn't know what was going on.

Emma realized the governors had been cut out just before her attack hit her daughter but it was too strong for her to stop and she watched in horror as it hit her daughter and sent her flying backwards screaming in agony.
