Siblings Reunited

Brennan landed the Helix near by the last location that Jesse had given them. As soon as they landed Shalimar was already running towards the scared looking young mutant who she now knew to be Emma's little brother. She connected with a well aimed kick to one of the GSA agent's faces. He fell to the ground as Brennan shot a few hundred volts through the biggest and ugliest agent he had ever seen. He wondered for a moment where Eckhart found these guys.

While Shalimar was busy taking care of the last member of the terrible trio Brennan walked over to Lucien. He was trying to hide the shock he felt at how much the young mutant looked like Emma. The poor kid was probably already terrified and Brennan didn't want to do anything that might spook him, telling him he looked just like the sister he probably didn't even know he had was probably one of those things. Adam had told them that Lucien was a powerful telepath so the elemental was hoping that his thoughts wouldn't give him away.

They did.

"You know my sister" the you telepath said suddenly

"How did you know that?" Brennan asked, wondering if the kid had read him.

"You were broadcasting your thoughts. I couldn't help but pick them up" he said apologetically.

"Come on we need to move" Shalimar ordered urgently as one of the agents began to stir.

Once they were safely back in the air they finally introduced themselves

"I'm Shalimar and this is Brennan" the feral gestured towards her elemental companion.

"I'm Lucien DeLauro but you probably already knew that" he looked a little bewildered.

"Its ok, you don't ever have to run again, you're safe now"

"I know. Thank you" Shalimar squeezed his arm reassuringly.

Adam, Jesse and Emma were waiting to greet them when they got back. Emma was almost buzzing with nerves. The last time she'd seen Lucien was the day her parents dumped her at the foster home when he was only a year old. She didn't know if he would even remember her.

Shalimar and Brennan walked towards the others with the young man just behind them. He was looking around him in awe at how beautiful the place was.

"Lucien, welcome to sanctuary. I'm Adam, this is Jesse and I believe you already know Emma" Adam had one of his fatherly smiles on his face. The siblings stepped forward and stared at each other for a few seconds before they hugged.

"I didn't think I'd ever see you again" Emma said tearfully as she looked at her brother.

"I've been trying to find you for so long Emma" they hugged again.

After Lucien had been properly introduced to everyone he asked about the guys who had been chasing him.

"They were agents for the Genetic Security Agency" Adam explained.

"They're a secret branch of the government concerned with controlling new mutants"

"Ok that sounds a kinda shady" the young telepath shuddered. Emma could sense the fear coming from her little brother.

"Shady doesn't even begin to cover it. If the GSA got they're way every new mutant in the world would end up in a stasis pod to be kept for future study." Adam had heard Eckhart say that once.

"But that's why we're here, to protect as many new mutants as we can while we try to make sure the world will be ready to accept the existence of new mutants."

Adam decided to stop talking before he frightened the poor boy to death. Lucien was still trying to understand everything that had happened. In the space of 24 hours he'd been running for his life, been rescued by mutant x, found his big sister and found out that she's part of mutant x, the protectors of all new mutants. All in all it had been a pretty big day.

Emma was intently watching her brother. He looked almost identical to how he looked when he was a baby, except for being taller and having more hair now. He still wrinkled his nose when he was confused. She could feel that confusion radiating from him like heat. She could feel other emotions coming from him too. Fear, sadness, regret, love and an overriding sense that he knew he was safe there. She was glad he felt safe, she'd been trying to project calm, safe feelings to him. She wanted to ask him so many questions but it was getting late and he looked like he was ready to fall asleep.

Adam suggested that they all get to bed; they could discuss anything else in the morning. Emma showed Lucien where he could sleep. They hugged again but Emma didn't cry this time.

"Good night Lucien, let me know if you need anything"

"I will Emma. Thank you" she smiled at her brother again before heading to her own room.
