Different Powers 9

Shalimar saw it coming, but not being as fast as she used to be, wasn't quick enough. The man sprung at her and she took a step back, in the flash of the moment, she didn't see the man get threw to the floor, until he was lying at her feet. Brennan had the man's arm, held up his back, holding the man to the floor.

" You know, you're meant to be nice to visitor's". The man known as Dan, growled in anger, wriggling wildly on the floor to get out of Brennan's grip. Finally he stopped when he realised Brennan wasn't gonna let go. " Ok…let go of me".
Hesitating, Brennan looked at Clark, he nodded and Brennan let Dan up. Dan got up, trying to gather as much dignity as possible, and then with his friend, left.
Brennan kept his eyes on him all the time as to not get a surprise from behind. As soon as they'd left, Brennan turned to Shalimar. " You ok". Shal nodded, but her body was still throbbing with the shock, the adrenaline of a fight.

Clark got Lana, to get Shal some tea, while she sat down. She refused, giving Brennan deadly eyes when he half laughed at how they were treating her. In all the time he knew Shal, a guy never spooked her.

Jesse and Emma were chatting to an old couple, when they saw two men storm out the café. Emma looked at Jesse, sensing the bad vibe off the men.
They excused them selves politely and went in to the café to see if any thing was wrong. When they entered, they were surprised to see Shalimar and Brennan sitting talking to a few people.
They both walked to their friend's table and hesitating, took a seat. Shalimar smiled, "Hey Guys, what's up?" But the way Jesse was looking at her, he wanted an answer, along with Emma. She shrugged, " It was nothing". Finally the two-team members nodded, not daring to push her. She may not be feral any more, but she still had a feral's temper.

Brennan was talking to Clark, " So…does the whole town have, weird things happening in it". Clark nodded, " Ye, my friend Cloe has a whole wall full of news clipping, all about the weird things that have happened to SmallVille, and she rounds it to the meteor shower". Brennan nodded, " any thing weird ever happen to you".
Clark went silent and Brennan felt the twinge, which signalled either a lie was coming, or nothing would come.
" Well…I wouldn't be able to tell, so many weird things happen here you start to think its normal".
Brennan nodded again smiling at the idea. " I wish people acted more like the people in this town. So, who is this Chloe girl, she a friend, does she live near by?"
Clark nodded, "she lives near by but all her work is at school, where she has the job of school writer".
Shalimar smiled, " Wow, I never had a job in high school, she good at it". Clark nodded smiling wide, " She's great at it, always looks for the truth, never any lies".

Jesse gave Brennan a quick look before turning to look at who was coming through the door. Every one turned as they heard more than one pair of footsteps, like they usually did. In walked 4 men, 3 surrounding one man in the middle.
" Ah…your Adam's friends, I was looking for Adam. He's not at the house…a any idea's guy".

Mutant x sat there, and then Brennan shook his head, " No…why?" Lionel's face twitched as if Brennan had asked a hard question.
" Its business…if you see him, could you all inform him I want to talk to him"? Shalimar crunched her fist under the table, and was surprised when Brennan just nodded. If she was still feral, she would most likely have gotten more info out of him, even if she had to beat it out of him. But Brennan just sat there.

When Lionel looked around and saw whom they were sitting with, smiled. " Clark, I didn't know you gave tours…"
Clark tried to smile, but it was just a smirk, " I was showing some friends around…you know, being friendly". Lionel nodded, "Well, there is always money to be made. Any way's I need to get back, if you see Lex, can you tell him I also need to talk to him".
Brennan looked at Clark who nodded not so interested in what Lionel was saying. Lionel left and with his leaving, the café brightened up again. Chattering started up again and then Lana came back with tea for the new guests. Jesse and Emma thanked her and she left after resaving the tip.

Adam came trotting down the stairs and Clark stood up, his mouth hanging open. Brennan got up in the action and went to Adam, telling him of what happened. Before he could finish, Clark stepped around him. " Excuse me, are you Doctor Kane?"
Adam went silent, almost embarissed and then nodded. " Yes…and who are you?"
Clark smiled holding his hand out, " Clark Kent…wow, Chloe's not gonna believe this".
