Trinity Part One

Summary: What if the GSA wasn't the only organization after New Mutants? What if there were others out there and Brennan just happened to fall into the middle of one?

Brennan walked out of the corner store with a bottle of aspirin in his hands. His powers were mutating again and the headaches that came with it were becoming unbearable.

Jesse followed out on Brennan's heels holding a can of soda, "Headaches get worse?"

"Yea, man," replied Brennan. "Adam can't do anything about it either. The only way these headaches are going away is if I suddenly lose all my mutant abilities."

Jesse just laughed, "Don't worry Bren, you'll survive."

Just as Brennan and Jesse were getting into the mustang, they heard a scream. Jesse and Brennan looked at each other over the top of the car, then quickly ran towards the sound of the scream. They rounded the corner of the building to see about fifteen men in black suits surrounding a young woman.

This woman caught Brennan's eye. She was beautiful, and a little familiar. She had short brown hair with auburn streaks and eyes that were hidden by her hair.

"Hey Jess man," Brennan started. "What to have a little fun?"

Jesse just smiled and they began to move closer to the men and the girl.

"You know guys," Brennan said out loud. "I don't think that the girl is interested. Why don't you just leave her alone?"

Everyone quickly moved around to see Brennan and Jesse move even closer. A man standing off towards the side looked particularly evil when he stated, "Leave!. You have no business here."

"I think that we'll stay anyways," Jesse replied. "The young lady here doesn't look like she wants any attention from you gentlemen."

The woman took this oppurtunity to start fighting the men while they were distracted by the two newcomers. She attacked swiftly and quickly. The first two men went down when the woman threw lightning bolts from her hands. All the remaining men turned back towards the women and started to close in on her.

Jesse and Brennan took that as their cue to join in on the fight. Brennan charged up his tesla coils and began firing away at the unsuspecting men. The men standing off to the side, watching everything that was happening, turned when he saw the men go down. They were impressed to see that one was an elemental.

The woman standing over several of the downed men also saw what happened. She became very worried, "No! Run! They hunt elementals!"

The lead man standing off towards the side motioned for one of his men to come forward. He spoke, "Take the other elementals as well. Leave the molecular; we have no need of him."

The man nodded and moved away, off to tell the men what was to happen.

Because the woman was distracted by Brennan, she never noticed the men silently moving towards her from behind and to the side of her. The man to her left stepped on something and she heard a snap. She moved her eyes and noticed the men moving in her direction.

She crouched down and spun at the same time. Her hands stretched out in front of her. Coming from her hands was ice spikes. They were being thrown very quickly. The men never had a change to defend themselves before they all fell.

The only people left standing were Brennan, Jesse, the woman, and the three men standing off towards the side. Brennan, Jesse, and the woman faced the three men, whom were standing very calmly looking at everything.

"So," the face man said. "River, is this what it has come to. You know Trinity will never let you go. They will hunt you until the end of time. You are way to powerful for them to let go."

"That's just too bad, Michael," River replied. "Then I'll just have to keep killing your guys."

Just then a helicopter flew over the buildings to hover behind the men. Brennan, Jesse, and River all looked up and saw the guns and trancs aimed at them.

River calmly looked towards Brennan and Jesse, "Run."

Brennan and Jesse didn't need to be told twice. The three mutants took off running towards the buildings, where they knew the helicopter would lose them. They ran between the buildings and straight towards a door that they hoped was unlocked. Brennan reached the door first and found that it wasn't.

"Hey Jesse," Brennan said. "It's locked!"

"Not anymore," Jesse said as he phased the door. "Open seaseme."

Brennan dragged River through the door and Jesse followed through. Inside the building, Brennan dragged River to the office and closed the door behind Jesse.

"Ok," Jesse said to River, who was sitting on the desk trying to catch her breath. "Who are you? Who are those guys? And what do they want?"

River looked up at Jesse, then at Brennan, "My name is River. I'm a new mutant, just like you guys. Those are the guys from Trinity. And they want me back."

"Why?" This question came from Brennan. "What's Trinity?"

"Trinity is hell," River replied. "They capture, torture, experiment on, kill, use. You name it. They are terrorits."

"You didn't answer my question," Brennan stated. "Why do they want you?"

"Because of what I can do," River said calmly, looking away from the two men. "My parents were killed when I was six, butchered right in front of my face by Trinity. I was taken away to a compound deep underground. I was scared. There was a boy there named Daniel. He could control the weather. Every aspect of it. He was fifteen years old. He looked out for me. Trinity didn't like Daniel very much. He was very rebelious. Pretty soon I was the same way. They find out very early on that when I touch a person, I take in the life force of a person. There personality, physical attributes, memories, everything. With new mutants, I take in there powers as well. If I keep the contact like, I only take it on for a little while. But the longer contact I have, the longer it lasts. When I was 12, they made me keep my hands on him. I absorbed him so much, that I only broke contact because I passed out. When I woke up, my personality and his were conflicting.I was going insane. They brought in a psionic and subpressed his personality, but a little of it leaked through. I don't know whether or not Daniel is even alive. But I do know that I permeantly have his powers, plus my own. That is why Trinity wants me back."

"Oh god," Jesse replied, looking completely shocked. He looked at Brennan, who was staring at River. Brennan looked mad enough to kill anyone who was a part of Trinity, period. "Brennan?"

River looked towards Brennan and wondered what he was thinking, "Was there something else that you wanted?"

"How old are you?" Brennan asked, thinking she couldn't be any older than twenty.

River glanced at Jesse then back at Brennan, "Eighteen. I've been running from Trinity since I was thirteen. Can you help me? I mean you helped me before."

"Don't worry, we won't let anything happen to you," Brennan said. Jesse looked at him, knowing exactly what he sounded like. From the sound of Brennan's voice, Jesse knew that as long as Brennan was alive, absolutely nothing would happen to River.

"Hey Adam," Jesse said. "You there?"

"I'm here Jesse," Adam replied over the comlink. "What's up?"

Jesse turned away from the two people still dead silent and stared out the window, "You ever hear of a place called Trinity?"

"Jesse where did you hear that name?" Adam replied.

Brennan joined in on the conversation, "Which means you have. Adam, we have a girl hear that's from Trinity. She's a new mutant."

Adam slightly raised his voice, "Jesse, Brennan, you need to get out of there now. Bring the girl back to Sancutary, but get out of there now."

"Alright Adam, we are on our way now," Jesse said and disconnected his ring.

"Whose Adam?" River asked.

Brennan smiled at her, "Don't worry you'll find out soon. Let's go."

Brennan put his arm around River as they walked out of the office, then the building and towards the car. They piled into the car and took off towards home.
