Disclaimer: I own nothing but Lucien

Hey there everyone. Ok this is a short chapter coz I'm kind of stuck for ideas about what to do with Lucien so if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Lucien's First Mission

Lucien had now been with mutant x for 3 weeks and his training was going well. Brennan and Shalimar had been teaching him martial arts, Jesse had been showing him how to work the computers and Emma had been helping him learn how to control his telepathic gift.

He and Brennan had been having fun playing pranks on the others. They'd glued Jesse's favourite mug to the table, hidden Shalimar's favourite boots and stolen Emma's diary, but they swore they never read it. The only person they hadn't managed to get yet was Adam. Every time they tried to play a prank on him he always caught them. So they'd given up for now.

Lucien hadn't been on any missions with the others yet so he was glad when Adam told him that he and Brennan were to go and get a new mutant who wanted to go into the underground. All they knew about her was that she was an elemental named Sara.

"I used to go out with a girl called Sara. She was an elemental too" Lucien said as they drove to her location.

Neither of them thought anything of it until they saw her.

"Uh oh" Lucien said with a look of dread on his face.

"Let me guess" Brennan said wearing one of his cheeky grins

"You used to go out with this elemental called Sara"

"Bingo. The universe must really hate me for some reason." He saw Brennan's puzzled expression and continued

"We never officially broke up. I just kind of stopped answering when she called. Then the GSA started looking for me so I never got the chance to tell her she was dumped" he said with a nervous laugh

"Maybe you should stay in the car" Brennan suggested

"No. I might as well get this over with" the young telepath sighed.

They both got out of the car as the girl stared straight at Lucien.

"His Sara, how've you been?"

"How've I been? Is that all you've got to say for yourself" she stepped forward and slapped him across the face

"I probably deserved that" he said as he rubbed his now bright red cheek.

"Well now that's out of the way, I'm Brennan. Adam said that you wanted to go into the underground?"

"That's right" she said without taking her eyes off of Lucien.

Brennan got her set up with a new ID and they took her to the train station. It was a tense journey

"So you guys used to date huh?" Brennan had to say something, he couldn't stand uncomfortable silences.

"Yeah we did. Until wonder boy there ditched me" she said as she shot Lucien a venomous look.

Once they got to the station Brennan and Lucien both wished her good luck. She smiled at Brennan and scowled at Lucien.

"Well I knew it was going to be fun having you around" Brennan laughed as he clapped a hand on the young man's shoulder.

When they got back the girls were in the rec room listening to one of Shal's CDs.

"How did it go?" Emma asked

"You don't wanna know" Brennan laughed as he sat beside Shalimar and kissed her.
