Yay, another chapter! Tell me what you think so far about the plot, characters, etc. so far. I'll take suggestions. I love this chapter, I like writing action sequences. Hehe^^ Hope you like Reagan. Oh, sorry but there will probably be a cliffhanger. I'm just warning you guys.

I had trouble with this chapter…also I was at a retreat last week and this week I'll be on vacation. Sorry, but I hope this cliffhanger won't be too extreme.

Chapter Five: Reagan Mitchells

The barking and yells of the police officers faded into thin air. She took in all the air her lungs could handle and latched on to the scent as she let her mind do the work.

"They are turning down a north tunnel for some reason. They were diverted from their course. They are tracking another individual…I lost his scent." Reagan said as her head suddenly ached from tracking too many people. She calmed herself a moment and closed her eyes. She felt an odd sensation as she breathed normally.

"They are chasing after another mutant…who is apparently causing a major problem for them. They called all forces." The brown haired girl said as she turned a dial on an old portable radio. All Reagan heard were random numbers come out statically. It was barely above a whisper.

"Aria is it…serious?" The color changing girl said as she changed a deep color of navy blue with exotic pink eyes.

"Lyra, shush. I can't hear…" Aria whispered annoyingly.

"Someone's coming." Reagan said as she felt the hair rise up on the back of her neck. The odd sensation was that her extraordinary sense was picking up on something. She grimaced as she fought her aching head…they needed her.

She smelled the air as her body tensed from fear. She squinted her eyes as she smelled again. The scent wasn't the typical police officer smell of coffee and donuts. It was a mutant. The aroma wasn't familiar.

"Tracker, what's wrong?" Mark asked as he saw her furiously sniffing at the stagnant air.

"It's…it's a mutant. One, I'm pretty sure but there are 'others' with her. Animals?" Reagan commented as she moved near the edge of the platform.

"Does anyone hear squeaking?" The boy was now was a mud puddle on the tracks. Reagan tensed once again as she heard a loud squeaking noise coming from the darkness. Suddenly, a little girl was running with her eyes closed, crying as she led rats out of the darkness. Before the boy could do anything, she slipped and fell in the mud and began to cry fervently as her hands rose to her face.

"Shiloh?" The green guy with the orange hair asked as he approached her. The mud boy quickly turned back into his human form to comfort the girl. He shushed her as the green guy hopped of the platform. The four girls went soon after. She sobbed as her rat friends dispersed into the darkness. "Why are you here? You were supposed to stay with Uncle Spyke."

"Mr. Zenith, Un-cle Spyyyke went to get Mr. RJ and Sissy Laura!" She let out a big gasp of air as she continued to sob. She patted mud boy on the head as Zenith looked up and down the tracks.

"It is okay, Mr. Vince. I know you didn't mean it" as she sobbed in mud boy's arms. Reagan took in a whiff of air as she sorted out the names in her head. They had met Mila and Lila. Zenith and Vince were the guys. Aria was apparently some kind of translator and Lyra could change colors and talk with a pretty mean Brit accent. Shiloh was the little girl crying.

Aria continued to listen to the number codes. Mila and Lila were patiently waiting for commands. Eric was playing with his electric bolts while Kitty sighed constantly. Grace was undetectable as she hid in the corner where a shadow covered her. Zenith was trudging back and forth.

"How did you guys come to be in the subway?" Kitty asked as she sat down. Zenith shrugged his shoulders. Vince was holding Shiloh who had fallen asleep in his arms.

"We were taking a shortcut to the sewers. I haven't a Scooby mate about who set us up. We should get the nipper out of here. She looks frazzled." Lyra said in her upbeat British accent as she gradually changed her skin color back to a light tan with hot pink hair. She gazed at Shiloh with stunning purple eyes. This was the most normal state of colors Reagan had seen her all day.

"Sorry about that. She has a Brit slang that is hard to follow. Scooby means clue and nipper means a small child. Here in context it is Shiloh." Aria said as she translated the strange words.

Kitty walked away for a moment holding her hands over her ears. She was probably getting a message from the Professor. Reagan smelled the stale murky air as she walked back and forth nervously. The longer they stayed here, the more danger they would be in.

"Prof says he sent back up." Kitty said as she approached the group again.

"We need to make a plan to just get RJ and Laura back. Spyke maybe our leader but he can't handle it on his own." Zenith said as the other Morlocks joined him. "We don't want to hurt anyone."

"I'll find out where they are." Reagan said as she closed her eyes and concentrated she breathed deeply and saw the path of scent before her. It was a deep purple color. "I got it, whenever you are ready."

They all discussed the plan for a moment as Grace came forward out of her hiding place. Lila led the discussion because she loved to give orders as Mila would whisper something into her ear every so often then they were off all of them running where Reagan led them. She kept following the purple smoke as they went into darkness. Her heart was racing. She gulped as the thoughts of her father and siblings returned. She felt so alone running into the darkness. Her sister left her, disgusted with her father's inability to see his children. She was too ignorant to see that daddy was working for their welfare. Serena had always been about herself. Michael soon moved out to become part of a gang. She never heard from either of them again. Her father would always cry himself to sleep every night, waiting for his children to return. He had nightmares about the night where he lost her beloved mother who died when giving birth to Reagan because of a stomach complication. He would wake up screaming for her.

Reagan tried to be a good daughter for him but after Michael left, it was more than difficult. He worked all the time and when he came home, he was so exhausted that he crashed on the couch. Her father was always concerned about her, in school and at home. Whenever she got a cut cooking dinner, he would go help her despite being the most tired man on earth. He prayed that she wouldn't leave him. He didn't know that in the future, he would force her to leave. She glanced back and gave a sigh of relief. She was never alone.

She followed the purple scent until she arrived where a group of officers were surrounding Spyke. Zenith lunged ahead as she gave the signal. Zenith squinted his eyes and squeezed his fists as his skin emitted a gas. It was dark green and it spread over the police officers heads. Reagan held her nose as she quickly fell to the back of the group. A hyper sensitive nose is not ideal when someone can make smelly toxic gas. Police officers started to cough, cry and begin to feel vertigo from the horrible smell.

Mila pushed ahead of the X-Men. She had this cold exterior about that wasn't the most appealing. She wasn't as enthused as Lila to make friends with them. She became a vine and began restraint the knocked out police officers. Kitty was handling the others by phasing them into ground. Lila instructed Eric to throw his electric bolt at Spyke who was busy constructing a huge cage around the police officers. Eric threw it at the cage and Spyke's work instantly became electrified. Mark was attempting to make one police officer trip over rumble the size of pebbles as he tossed his dice in the air. Grace reinforced Mila's makeshift cage with tree supports at all for corners. She tossed the seeds to and fro as she made them grow. Reagan used her quick reflexives to distract a stray police officer from grabbing his gun. Kitty tossed a police radio to Aria. Aria began to speak number codes into it with a New Yorker accent. Lyra linked arms with Shiloh and they became camouflage as Vince protected them by becoming a mudslide in front of them. Shiloh however had other plans; she called up her rat friends again as Lyra squealed in disgust. They formed a chain around Vince and the two girls.

Reagan dragged the unconscious police officer into the cage as Eric held open an area. Mark was still dealing with his officer who ate a little too many donuts. Reagan sighed as Eric aimed a petit bolt with his electric bow and arrow. It shocked the officer and Mark frowned.

"Hey, I could have handled him!" he whined as he kicked him in the gut. "Well, maybe." Spyke thanked them all and reunited with Shiloh who was overjoyed to see that he was alright.

Spyke laughed. "Thanks, guys for protecting my Morlocks. They are like family to me. RJ and Laura ran to the sewers as soon as I got them free. We don't want any more trouble, let's go Morlocks." Morlocks followed Spyke as Shiloh told him about the X-Men. Reagan and her friends stayed behind as Kitty 'called' Professor. Mark scowled about the drive home.

Reagan however, had other thoughts. Who set the Morlocks up? And why? Eric and Grace glanced at her. They were asking the same questions.
