Disclaimer: I do not now nor have I ever own the characters from Mutant X they belong to their respective owners.
My characters however are what they are, MINE! They include Bren, Eddie, Lexi, and Dania. The idea for the Drone Miners is also mine.
Note: All the locations come from my weirdo imagination they probably aren't real anyways, but for the sake of the story they are there. Also there is a cameo from the X-men (movie verse) I just had to do it, there not major just something thrown in. Thanks to my buddy JAR who helped me write the beginning of this chapter.
A/N: This takes place just before A Breed Apart. I think.
If anyone knows the date that this took place (Aired origin), please email me. Other wise I'm just going to stick with present day. Although it would really help if someone could give me a specific date for the episode.
Present Day…
The blond young man stood apart from the crowd that had come on this bright crisp November day.
The people had gathered around the podium. Listening intently to the tall was man in his early 40's. His White hair streaked with gray. A three-piece Armani suit, he is known to all as Senator Robert Kelly. The banners and signs that were cruelly held high by the large portion of people, tells us that the Senator is against Mutant kind in all its forms. He begins citing (Spewing) examples of certain mutants and the threats he thinks they pose.
"How easy it would be for someone who rode on angel's wings to swoop down and kidnap a national leader, how easy it would be for a unmorally heavyset man to stand in front of armed forces while his fellow kind would be able to escape."
The man even went so far as to say that how a mutant with the ability to energize any thing he touches could result in enormous physical and domestic damages. How everyone was so intent to wipe out the mutant race because they are abominations.
The blond young man shakes his head sadly, and scans the crowd his eyes hiding behind his dark shades. It's was like watching one of those nazi rallies his father use to talk about. He looked into the crowd and was surprised to see him of all people standing there with his eyes and ears all on what the good senator was proposing.
There stood Dr. Adam Kane with the four of the most important people that had been near and dear to him. Brennan Mulwray, Emma Delauro, Shalimar Fox, and Jesse Kilmartin. Eddie didn't know whether to be excited or be scared, he fought the urge to run over and throw his arms around the young woman that was his mother. To cry out to the young man that would be his father. Biting his lip he ignored the breaking of his heart, and continued to look around the crowd. Some one else caught his eye or rather another group did.
Professor Charles Xavier with his people, a red head young woman by the name of Dr. Jean Grey, standing closely beside her was a young man tall, with short brown hair, wearing what appeared to be visors. Scott Summers. Another young woman with white hair that made her dark eyes stand out sharply. Ororro Monroe (?). Undoubtedly the man standing by them was Logan/Wolverine. The wiry wild hair, the inconspicuous dark eyes. His defensive stance. A grin came to Eddie's face as he took notice that Logan had been inching his way closer to Dr. Grey.
The grin fades as the Senator makes his final and crude statement, bids the crowd farewell, and is escorted off the premises by three burly looking men in dark suits. His eyes fall back on the two mutant groups who have come together and are discussing something amusing. He sighs deeply as he takes one last look at his parents and turns away.
It is at this time that both Emma Delauro and Dr. Jean Grey turn in the direction of the stranger walking in the opposite direction. Radiating of a strong wave of excitement, anxiety, regret, sorrow, an anger that burns, and cuts deep inside. Emma makes a move towards him, but Jean pulls her back shaking her head slightly.

It was dark where she was and very cold, the throbbing in her head was accompanied by sporadic shocks through out her entire body, and she wanted nothing more than to curl up and die right than and there. Where ever the hell there was. Trying push herself up onto her limbs did her no good, because they felt as if they were on fire the minute she placed her palms face down on the ground. She was moving blindly now; her breathing labored every move she made caused the most excruciating pain ever, which only fueled the anger that had been building up inside.
Across the floor where the electrically charged mutant laid injured, stepped a lanky form. Dressed from head to toe in dark colors. He has a head of hair so black it's almost blue. He pulls out a cell phone and pressed a single button. Careful not to get too close too the girl he keeps an eye on her. His eyes turning a deep shade of white, with multiple colors running through them. His gift came in handy after all; this would be a good day. The phone rings once than twice before someone picks up. His own voice is thick and laced with some concern and determination.
"Yeah I found a female elemental down here at the docs ware house… nah it's not a casual pick up… she's experiencing a tremendous electric seizure…real vulnerable like." He glances back down at the shaking body. "What am I a water elemental get real." he sighs glancing around the large room before shaking his head. "No… no one else… All right I'll be here." he hangs up the cell and shoves it back in his jacket pocket.
"Time is almost up kiddo, you couldn't have picked a worse time to show up here like this."
~*~*~*~
Deep in the offices of an old Genome X building stood a group of mutants. All in navy blue uniform head sets covering their eyes and ears. Their leader is standing in front of an old terminal awaiting the link that was supposedly meant for them. It opened up on an extremely scrambled channel. "We set?" the scrambled voice asked.
"Yeah boss we all set." The leader replies.
"No excuses this time, do not mess this up make sure Mulwray's kid doesn't interfere." it seemed to growl.
"Sir about…"
"No excuses!"
"Yes sir…"
The video screen flares out leaving the room in a dead silence. "You know our orders, we set out at set time." she says, removing her headgear (except for the part that covers her eyes). Releasing a main of wavy blond hair.
"CY." one of the mutants walks up to her timidly.
"What is it Rock."
"We have a slight problem."
"Which is?"
"Sir said subject doesn't exist just yet."
"Explain before I tear you up."
Ignoring her comment he pulled out a small device. It is made of a metallic substance, it shifts into what looks like a modern day palm pilot, projecting a screen into the air, hieroglyphs run across the screen. The woman curses loudly at their one mistake. "This can't be right…" she reads the screen once more before her eyes nearly narrow to slits. It's at this time we take notice that she is a Feral. "Than I guess we will have to settle on something else more valuable." A sadistic grin is spreading across her face as she continues voicing her thoughts. "Bring me everything we have on the members of Mutant X."
