Chapter Two

Everyone was silent for several minutes, it was Adam who finally broke the silence.

" What year is it?" Adam asked suspecting that what was going on was directly caused by the new mutant, which Adam had found had connections with time.

" It's the year 2020, Adam. Why did you hit your head and forget?" came a voice from behind them. When they turned around, they were facing an older Jesse, who had just returned from grocery shopping by the look of the bags in his arms.

Before Adam could answer the blue haired girl spoke up. " Uh, Dad. That's not Adam. Not from this time anyway."

The older Jesse looked up from the paper he had pulled out and dropped the bags he was carrying. " What's going on?" he asked shakily.

Jesse looked at his older self and said " That's what we'd like to know and why did she call you dad?"

Melody who was still standing by a silent Brennan from her time rolled her eyes. " Oh gee, couldn't have anything to do with the fact that I'm his daughter could it. My name is Melody by the way."

Jesse looked confused. Melody smiled this time and said " Opposed to her." Adam smiled next and began to talk again but didn't get to far as he was interrupted again. A tall young lady turned the corner where Melody was. She was reading a book and didn't see everyone. Melody began to say, " Casey, watch.." But was too late, Casey walked smack dab into her father.

The two of them landed in a heap on the floor and her book went flying, skidding to a stop by the younger Brennan, who had in all the confusion forgotten about his arm and shoulder, feet.

" Oh, sorry dad. I didn't see you." Casey said getting up.

" That's alright, but now do you understand why I told you not to read and walk at the same time."

Casey smiled sheepishly as she nodded. " Where's my book?" she said looking around. Brennan picked it up with his good arm and brought it over to her and glanced at the title before handing it to her. The book was 'Leaves of Grass' by Walt Whitman. Casey took it and said " Thanks." When she looked up she gasped. Casey looked back and forth between her father and Brennan.

" What's going on?" Casey asked.

Her father said to everyone " We're going to figure that out now. Let's go sit down." To his com-ring he said " Adam, Emma, Shal, Marcus, Cristy can you guys meet me by the dojo, please?"
