The night was cold. I was running, running from many things. This night, the main thing I was running from was my past. My past life was finally catching up with me.

"Mick, this is not the choice you should make."

"I love Adam, there is not a thing you can do about it."

With that statement the running began, out of the doorway and into the forest behind the barn. All of a sudden it was as if my childhood came pouring back into my brain again. All the days of my powers being used, my feral instinct told me that loving Adam was not a bad thing. Adam Kane was a very kind and gentle man, yet I was no ordinary mutant. Being a feral and elemental was not so bad, I learned at only age eleven how to harness my powers rather fast and embrace them. Adam took me under his wing and I got to meet others who were like me.

"Mickie! Over here!"

I ran fast toward Brennen. He is such a sweet guy. Elemental of electricity, he helped me harness the water abilities I have.

"Mulwray! Dang boy, its about freaking time!"

"We couldn't track your comlink."

"That is because Ashlocke has it."

I got in the Helix, our giant jet at Mutant X and we took off. Shalimar, Emma and Jesse were all sitting in their seats, the usual places where they all sat. Adam was in the back, and as soon as I saw him, I gave him a big hug.

"Adam, it is so nice to see a familiar face."

"Did Gabriel hurt you?"

"Yah, he grabbed my comlink, lost a little hair and a few brusies and cracked ribs. Other than that, I am perfectly fine. Adam, I have to say that I was having flashbacks of my past. When I was a child, the beatings were very similar to the ones he gave me just then."

Adam said not a word, instead he gave me a kiss on my cheek. He then pulled me tightly to his body.

"We won't let him hurt you anymore."

Little did I know that my present and my future would be almost very similar to my past.
