title: And then there were five. Chapter two.
DISCLAIMER: as much as i wish it did mutant x and it's characters do not belong to me however Alex, Denny and this story do.
It was going on ten o'clock when the Mutant X team were in the Helix making their way to a club named shaxx that was located in the center of town, to pick up a new mutant who had recently appeared on the GSA's radar, it was a simple mission really get to the new mutant before the GSA did. It had been a quiet journey so far, Brennan and Jesse were sat up front piloting the Helix, while Shalimar and Emma sat behind at the rear of the Helix. Shalimar was the first to speak.
"So Adam this new mutant, why is she so important to the GSA anyway?" she asked from her seat behind Brennan.
The sound of Adam's voice filled the Helix."Well it would appear that either the GSA have suddenly taken an intrest in capturing non new mutants or she's extremely good at covering her tracks. I've gone over our database twice it's like she dosen't exist." Once Adam had finished the Helix was quiet for a few seconds until Brennan spoke up.
"So let me get this straight the new mutant you're sending us out for might not be a new mutant at all" Brennan asked
'' Which means we dont know what powers we're gonna be expecting or even if she has any in the first place" Jesse continued
The sound of Adams voice once again flooded the Helix "Look guys I'm in the dark about this women too, but I wouldn't send you into a situation I didn't think you couldn't handle." There was a short silence before Adam continued.
"All I know is that her name is Alex Matthews and she works at the club you're headed to now, we can't let the GSA get to her before we do. Adam finished.
"Ok Adam we're coming into range with the club now" Jesse said swicthing the Helix to stelth mode.
"Dosn't look like we're gonna be able to land on the roof of the club, buildings too small, looks like across the street will have to do" Brennan said as he brought the Helix down on the roof top opposite the club.
"Alright, let me know when you've got her." Said Adam
Meanwhile:
Walking out of the back entrance of the club, Alex turned around and closed the heavy duty steel door behind her and began to walk down the small allyway behind the club in the direction of her apartment. As she neared the entrance to the allyway a black SUV came careering around the corner coming to a screeching halt not far from where she was standing. She turned and began to walk back in the direction that she had origianally come from when she saw a similar vehicle driving towards her from that end of the ally aswell, as the vehicle came to a halt four men in suits stepped out in to the ally, she saw that the occupants of the first car had done the same and were starting to make their way towards her.
"Great this is just great" she said as she moved into a position where she could see all of them.
"Eight against one boys this is cheating" she said allowed to them as she moved into a fighting stance.
Suddenley the back door to the club opened and the two men from the bar stepped out into the ally.
"Make that ten." she said spotting them.
"Alex Matthews?" one of them asked
"That depends" she told him
"You wanna tell me what you want before I answer that" she said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
With that she flew into action delivering a nasty left hook to the guy stood nearest to her and then a flying kick sent him into the nearest wall, crumpling to the ground he lay there unconcious.
"One down." Alex muttered as more of them came charging at her.
Holding her arm out a white mist appeared from the palm of her hand freezing the puddle of water infront of her, the agents who had been running towards her skidded across it before landing in a heap. while they were regrouping she took on the two that had been watching her in the club, punching one so hard that he collided with the windsheild of the SUV. Turning to face the other guy she cornered him so that he had his back against the wall, she was just about to take him out when the remaining agents jummped her, pulling her to the ground the began to kick and punch her.
"Now boys didn't your moma teach you. never to hit a women?" Brennan called out as the team stepped into the ally
Seeing they had company the agents began to fan out, moving forward Emma sent a psyonic blast to the agent nearest to her.
"Sweet dreams." she said as he fell to the ground.
Two agents ran at Brennan who sent a series of kicks and punches their way, meanwhile Shalimar ran over to the young woman who was still been pinned down by two agents with a swift kick to the head she knocked one of the agents out and was just about to take one the other when Emma beat her to it sending a psyonic blast his way. By now Brennan was down to just one agent grabbing a fist that was headed towards his face he sent shot an electical current staight throught his arm, his body twitched for a few seconds before he fell to the ground.
One agent who ran up to Jesse seemed a little surprised when he didn't move but punched him anyway, The second before his fist made contact Jesse massed. While the agent clutched his hand Jesse grabbed him by the hair and kneed him in the face. suddenly there the sound of a man's voice filled the ally.
"Stop!" he demanded as he held a gun towards Emma's head.
Brennan lifted his hand up electricity crackling at his finger tips, unsure if he should make a move.
"One move sparky and she's dead." The agent told him.
Before any of them could react Alex, who was still on the floor opened her hand and an glowing sphere of light appeared that went unnotced to every one, when she was sure the agent wasn't looking she threw the sphere towards the gun which began to glow, suddenly the agent cried out in pain and dropped the gun which was now melting on the pavement before he could move Emma kicked him in the head knocking him out.
"Guess that answered that question." Shalimar said as she helped the young woman to her feet, the rest of the team walked over to them Jesse stepped closer to Emma.
"Are you alright?" He asked her
"I'm fine." was all she said.
"Are you ok?" Shalimar asked looking at the women who had a nasty cut along her hair line.
"Thank's for the save, but I'm going now." The young women said turning to leave.
"Wait, we need to talk, we're..." Shalimar began but was cut off
"No, we don't need to do anything I just..." the girl began but suddenly stopped, looking down she saw a small dart sticking out of her chest.
Spinning around Brennen saw that one of the agent's had regained consciousness and was holding a tranq gun, before the agent could fire again, he shot another electrical current at him, sending the agent the ground.
Alex stood there for a few seconds, not taking her eye's off the dart even as she began to sway. Pulling the dart out she stumbled forward only to be caught by Jesse who gently lowered her to the ground.
"Easy..." Jesse said in a calming tone
"I can't feel anything why..." Alex began to say when suddenly the ally around her began to spin.
Struggling against the drug that was working it's way through her system, Alex tried to remain awake, her eye's flashed a feral yellow before they closed and the darkness claimed her, Shalimar had seen this and thought she was going crazy.
"Did you guy's see that..." she asked.
