Different P 7

They all nodded, agreeing that they may find answers in this mystery for a place. Adam had told them all about the strange things that happened in Smallville and the reputation for it was daily.

They all went to bed, to prepare for what may come and in return, would not be surprised if any thing should try to sneak up on them.

MORNING

Brennan trampled down the stairs, closely followed by Jesse, who by strict orders from Shal, was to keep an eye on him. They shared a room, but Shalimar was turned down when she offered to sleep in with him, while Jesse and Emma shared, by Adam.
As they went into the kitchen Jesse went straight for the pizza that looked very appealing, ordered just last night when Brennan was hauled in by Lex. He chomped down on it never the less, ignoring the coldness of it and enjoying the taste.
Brennan was looking through the fridge when Adam and Emma walked in.
" Brennan, eat some thing with energy in it…it will help if you, have another one".
Brennan nodded at Adam and Emma gave him a sisterly smile that said 'she knew how much Adam overreacted'. But for now, he would take Adam's request, he needed Adam's help and he had no other idea's.

Shalimar came in through the front door, wearing jogging trousers, and suddenly, Brennan had a very strong urge to get out, to run off all the energy that was coursing around his limbs and the need was growing with each second.
He gave Shal a greeting smile, before grabbing a sandwich and sitting down to eat it. It had cheese on, and cute cumber. Really he didn't like this…but at that moment, he ate it like it was life food, like the very thing would instantly stop his stomach growling…and it did.

Adam and Jesse were checking the car over, and said they'd get there small heap of luggage into the car. They were going to leave around 9.00 and since it was 7:30am Brennan, reluctantly, asked Adam if he could take a jog. Adam looked at him wearily, but remembering Brennan's feral side and how it could react if not let to do what came natural, agreed.

As Brennan started to run, he found new words were opening up to him. Things that seemed to have never been discovered and only opened up for him. He found a small space and dropped down, enjoying the buzz in his legs and arms. He finally understood why Shalimar always enjoyed going for runs and doing these things. As he settled his mind started to wonder. Wonder about the team, Adam,…and Lex. Lex didn't trust his father…hated him even, but only wanted his approval…his love. It almost felt painful to see the things and worse, feel them. Feel the guilt of not being what he wanted, but all he need to hear some one say to him was…' your not him…your better'.
His mind about the team was adjusting. Jesse and Emma were always going off with each other and he suspected some thing there. Adam it seemed still wanted to keep his hands in his pockets…so that was fine. He would wait, to see if Adam would be ready to let them know all the secrets.

He rose off the grass, it was slightly wet, but it felt good, felt real. When ever in a vision, he felt false, not there and somewhere else, almost dreamy. But with a sigh, got back up and started back to the house where Adam and the others would be waiting for him.
When he got back, it was close to nine, so he just made it. Jesse smiled at his best friend as he came trotting back to them, fly in the house to quickly get changed or even a quick shower. He did it some times…lose track of time, but only when he was having fun.

When Brennan came back out, all the others were sitting in the car, staring at him to say he was late. He smirked, trying to shrug off the eyes, and got in the car.
Jesse was driving, Adam sitting to his left. Behind Adam was Emma; sitting with the window open and a small breeze brushed her hair back. Shalimar was in the middle seat, staring anxiously through the front, and next to her was Brennan.

They droved for the full 20 minutes, discussion on what he had done while out arose but Shalimar helped when she said 'it was a feral thing'. Jesse laughed and stared back at her through his rear view mirror. He leant forwards with lightning speed and slapped him lightly on the arm. During the drive, Jesse smiled suddenly and let go of the wheel. All the members of Mutant X lunged forwards to grab the wheel, but the car didn't swerve, but remained at the same speed. When Jesse smiled back at them, they saw, his eyes were brighter than usual, more at work, and Adam pointed out that Jesse was taking control of the car with his powers. Again he earned another slap from Shal…and Emma, and these were not light.

When they pulled up next to a place, Adam said they'd sat there for a while. Shalimar suddenly brought up a good idea. " Adam, what if our place at the beach is broken into…?"
Adam smiled, holding up a little remote. The light was off and Adam explained it.
" I attached an inside alarm system, so if the door or windows or any thing is opened, the alarm goes off, sending out a very loud noise. Even if the weight on the floor increases, the alarm is triggered".
Brennan looked cautiously back at the devise, " How loud is it?"
Again this brought up the smile that showed the devil in Adam. " Think of it like, an elephant trumpeting down your ear…we would hear it hear".

This made the team laugh, as they all climbed out the car and approached the place. When they entered, it was a café, and a hotel up stairs. The waiter came up to them, smiling at the new arrives.
" Hi, I'm Lana, can I help you?"
Adam smiled, stepping forwards, " Yes, is there a place where me and my friends could stay for a few days?"
Lana smiled, showing off white and perfect teeth, "Sure, I own this place…well a shared partnership. But I use the place, how many rooms?"
Adam answered automatically, " 3 joined if you could". Lana nodded, gave a price of 20 bucks a week and Adam paid easily.

Lana had long flowing black hair, brown eyes that held her curious suspicion of the new group and she had a tan. She was very welcoming to them and showed them to the rooms.
When they were settled, Adam said they could go explore so he could have some peace of there nagging to go out.

Hoped you like it, cause there is more to come.
