Rating: PG-13 for future chapters
Author's Note: This is my second Mutant X fanfiction, and I hope that you really like it. Later chapters may contain some new concepts which no one has touched on yet, so please review and give your comment (no flames though, please). Many concepts were created as I put "pieces of evidence" together that I found throughout the episodes. Also, this story is a sequel to A Breed Apart (the season finale).

Revelations
Chapter 1: The Beginning is the End is the Beginning
XXXXXXXXXXX The Strand's Place XXXXXXXXXX
The celebration feast had lasted for the last several hours within the torch-lite, gothic residence of the Strand. The members, joined around a large, circular table, passed food and delights around, trying very hard to relax and enjoy themselves. Many of them were confused about their clebration, for just last week, they had lost their first battle against Mutant X- or so they thought. Their leader, Gabriel Ashlocke, sat aside from the main group in a kingly chair, and was surrounded by several nymphs (*1), who were adorning and fanning, kissing and feeding him. At last, Gabriel rose and spoke to all.
"My friends of the new mutant brotherhood, we have all been united by one cause- our genetic calling. Since the privacy of our own bodies has been invaded, not only by Genomex, but by Mutant X as well, we must join together to destroy our tormentors with just pay. You may wonder why we are celebrating tonight, for there is good reason. Although many of you have thought or believed that we have lost to the group called Mutant X, we are closer than ever to winning the war. Our takeover of Genomex was successful - appreciation goes out to all of you, for without your assistance, this feat could not have been done.
Finally, the sadistic foe of both the Strand and Mutant X has been caught and imprisoned by his own tool of torture known as a stasis pod. His unsensitive and immoral allies have been terminated, unless their worth is far greater than ther being, or their narrow-minded views have been awakened by our presence.
But now is the time, not to weep over our losses, but to gather and treasure our gains. Our enemies will be anihilated, and their views removed from the face of the earth. New mutants everywhere will join together to rule over the less evolved, and thus lowly, humanoids, during the mutant regime. Therefore, tonight, we are celebrating our first major battle, but tommorow, with all of this behind us, we begin to prepare and put on our armor for an even more difficult, more troublesome battle- the battle with Mutant X!" Ashlocke finished his tremendously long and political speech, as the members of the Strand began cheering in unison:
"Unite! Unite! Unite! Unite! Unite!". As Ashlocke sat back down into his chair, Morgan and Kelly walked over to him, still unsure of his plan.
"What exactly are we planning to do? Not everyone is prepared enough to fight them!" Morgan asked nervously.
" Morgan, there is doubt in you. Are you sure that you are capable of doing this?" Ashlocke answered her.
Morgan looked down and thought a moment, before replying, " Why would I doubt the most powerful person in the world?"
" Well, good, everyone is satisfied. Do not worry about the others; my plan does not include them at all- only you, Kelly, and Evan. Yet this is not the place to discuss our plan... right here in the open, so go get Evan, and come up to my balcony," Ashlocke said, in a godly manner.

XXXXXXXXXXXX The Next Day XXXXXXXXXXXXX
**Preface: It had been a week and a half since Mutant X's first encounter with Ashlocke and the Strand. Shalimar, who was still shocked by her abduction, had efused to leave Saanctuary, where she was spending most of her time in Stimulation, or moping in the water garden. Today, she had decided to be in the garden, and was presently watching ripples being formed as she bounced pebbles across the water. **
Brennan, who had been saddened by Shalimar's sullen mood all week long, silently walked over to her sitting in the water garden. Shalimar, sensing that someone was apprpoaching, turned to look in his direction, quickly wiping her tears away. Brennan sat down next to her, and honestly asked:
"Shal, are you really going to spend all day mourning in here? I really miss your old, spunky self." Shalimar, as if silently replying, turned and looked at Brennan. The two of them just sat quietly for several minutes, each noticing small things about each other which they had never paid attention to before. Suddenly, Shalimar threw her hands around Brennan, giving hima great big bear hug, while resting her head on his chest. After a couple of seconds, Shalimar lifted her head and grabbed Brennan's hands, a broad smile spreading across her face.
"Oh, all right, sweetie! What do you suggest that we do?" Shalimar said blushing.
"Well... I was thinking of taking you shopping, then to a nice club to have some fun, and then..." Brennan said, both of their eyes twinkling at each other.
"Ssshhh!" Shalimar said, as they were about to kiss.
"Uuummghhh!" a voice coughed in the background. Shalimar and Brennan pulled apart, pretending nothing had happened.
"I see your spirit is back, Shalimar," Adam said calmly, a knowing smile on his face. "Everyone's EDD scans were normal, no more "growth spurts" for awhile, which should give everyone enough time to completely control their new gifts," Adam said, trying to change the subject.
"Great! So Adam, would it be okay if Shal and I go out and have some fun,... take the night off?" Brennan asked, eager to spend time with Shalimar.
"Hmmm. I guess so. But I want you two to be very careful. Contact one of us here immediately if you have any problems," Adam answered in a fatherly tone.
"Thanks, Adam!" Shalimar said, as she and Brennan got up and walked towards their rooms holding hands.

** Preface: Emma, who was very proud about her new-found ability, had spent large amounts of time in Stimulation training since she could now join in the phiysical fighting. She had even fought with Shalimar once - something which she had never done before. Yet, the day after Shalimar came back to Sanctuary, Adam had scolded her for having such a messy room- so guess what she was doing? Cleaning it up.**
Emma quietly cleaned up her room, sorting her clean laundry from her dirty, and straightening up her belongings while listening to some classical music Adam had given her. Yet, her thoughts were not with what she was presently doing. Her mind was submerged in a philosophical world that few others understood. There were so many mysteries about her own life, things which even she had no answers for. She was glad that her "growth spurt" had given her power to finally help her friends when they were all fighting the bad guys. But she still wished that certain questions could be answered, like who were her....
"Emma, Adam wants to meet with us in the lab. Hurry up and come," Jesses said, standing in her open doorway. Emma's philosophical bubble burst from the sound of an outside voice, sadddening her some. Yet, she knew that if Adam called them, it was probably important. She quickly finished what she was putting away, turned off her music, and went to the med lab.
Obviously, Jesse and Adam were already there, waiting for her. Jesse was casually sitting on the chair, but Adam was pacing next to Jesse with his worried look on.
"What's wrong, Adam?" Emma asked sincerely. Adam stopped pacing and looked at both of them and said:
"I'm worried about Shalimar and Brennan. They left about an hour ago with the Audi to have some fun, But I haven't from them since. I have this nagging feeling that something bad has happened to them..."
"Somethiing to do with Ashlocke and his gang?" Jesse asked.
"I'm not sure. But I would feel much better if you two would just go and check on them," Adam replied, suggesting later that they take the Double Helix and find them.
Ten minutes later, after Emma and Jesse had changed into more appropriate clothes, the Double Helix took off and headed towards the city, traveling within it's invisible cloak.
