A new beginning

"Where am I," Wes asked as he looked at Adam and his team from behind the force filed.

"Your at our secret base Wes," Adam said

"How do you know my name," Wes asked

"We have been keeping an eye on you," Adam said

"You've been spying on me," Wes asked. Wondering why he was not the least bit surprised

"We have been watching you, keeping you safe," Adam said

"Spying on me. If you wanted to keep me safe Adam all you had to do was speak to me and then you would have released I am more than capable of looking after my own safety," Wes said

"We beloved it would be better for your safety if you had someone watching over you," Adam said

"So I've had one of the mutant X team following me around for the last few weeks like some kind of a lost puppy," Wes said a little more harshly than he had intended to.

"It was for your own safety," Jesse said

"No it wasn't," Wes said with a said smile

"Wes we believe that your mutant gift will be a asset to our team," Adam said

"I don't have a mutant gift Adam," Wes said

"Ah denial I remember that well," Emma said

"If I was denial would I be so calm," Wes asked as he stopped pacing and sat down on the floor.

"Yes you would. You shouldn't deny what you are Wes. Your mutant gift is a blessing," Jesse said

"Don't you understand english kid? I do not have a mutant gift," Wes said

"How can you stand there and deny what you are," Emma asked

"Oh I haven't denied for a second what I am. You all just seem to be under the mistaken impression that I am one of these new mutant's," Wes said

"So if your not a new mutant how would you explain these powers of yours," Adam asked

"Ah that's part of who I am," Wes said

"Just like new mutants, Jesse said

"I am nothing like a new mutant," Wes said as he stood up.

"How else would you explain these powers of yours," Emma asked

"It's a part of my DNA," Wes said

"A new mutants power is also part of their DNA," Jesse said

"Jesse do you know what its like to be the last of your kind. To know that you are part of a world that has no idea what you are," Wes asked as he looked directly at Jesse

"Yes I do. As new mutants we all share that," Jesse said

"Your not the last of your kind Jesse. You have plenty of friends and other people that are exactly like you," Wes said as he stepped away from the force field.

"What is your kind," Shalimar asked

"It doesn't really concern you. The planet itself is no longer there," Wes said

"So tell me Adam why have you brang me to this little base of yours," Wes asked

"I want you join mutant X," Adam said

"Adam do you treat everyone you ask to be part of your team like this," Wes asked as he held his up to the force field.

"No, I wanted to be sure that you wouldn't harm anyone," Adam said

"You honestly expect me to be part of this team when you treat me like a prisoner. Why should I trust you Adam, tell me why I should join a team that doesn't even trust me," Wes asked

"To help others like you," Adam said.

"Let the force filed down Adam and then I'll talk," Wes said

"Shalimar drop the force filed," Adam said

With a smile on his lips Wes came down the steps and walked towards Adam.

"In my own bitter experience I have learnt that humans cannot be trusted. Why should I trust the people on your team Adam," Wes asked

"You can trust us Wes," Jesse said

"I know that you wouldn't harm me in anyway, but I find it hard to trust anyone. I have trusted other mutants before Adam and it has always ended badly," Wes said

"How did you lose your trust," Emma asked

"7 years ago when I was 15 years old my old flatmate turned me over to the Russians. For the next four years I was brutally tortured. My abilities were tested for days on end and it only got a whole lot worse when they discovered I wasn't human," Wes said

"How did you escape," Adam asked in a gentle tone of voice.

"Does it really matter? After four years I escaped and the Russians were very upset with the damage I left behind me," Wes said

"Why are the Russians still looking for you after four years," Emma asked

It's not the Russians who are looking for me. My old team-mates have been searching for me for the last two years," Wes said

"Who are your old team mates," Adam asked. If he knew who Wes old teammates were he would be able to keep an eye on them.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," Wes said

"Sure we will. I mean its not like the they're the time force rangers is it," Shalimar said with a feral grin

"I was a member of the time force power rangers for two years," weds said

"So why did ya leave," Shalimar asked

"My adoptive father threatened to tell my team-mates the truth about my life," Wes said

"Why didn't you tell them," Emma asked

"I didn't want them to look at me with pity. My father would have used the pity and sympathy to his own advantage and I couldn't let that happen," Wes said

"So you took the cowards way out and left," Jesse said not realising he had spoken out loud.

Wes walked over to Jesse and lifted him up of the ground and flew five feet of the ground with him.

"Don't think you have the right to judge me Jesse. All you know about me is what I have allowed you and your teammates to know. Do you honestly believe that I would run away from the rangers when so much was at stake with out a damn good reason? I left because it was the better option. When you even have an inkling as to what my life has been like than you can make your judgements," Wes said as he slowly floated back to the ground and let go of Jesse

"Will join Mutant X," Shalimar asked in a light tone of voice.

"Yes, but on one condition," Wes said

"What would that be," Adam asked

"No one outside of this team is to know that I'm an alien," Wes said

"Welcome to the team Wes and do you have another name or is it just Wes," Adam asked

"No its just Wes and Jesse I apologise for being a little rude, but there are certain parts of my life that I do not like to discuss," Wes said

"Apology accepted and welcome to the team Wes, it's a pleasure to have someone like on board," Jesse said.
