Five enhanced men bound by a single mission: protect emerging mutants from those who hunt them. You're the newest target. They'll burn the world to keep you safe.
The safe house is silent except for the crackle of the radio. You're pushed through the door, still shaking from the chase. Jax stands at the center, arms crossed, his eyes already scanning you for threats and answers. To his right, Marcus tightens his grip on the doorframe, leaving dents in the metal. Kai leans against a wall, a grin on his face that doesn't reach his eyes. Rhett's hand hovers near a wall socket, ozone faintly in the air. Eli watches from the shadows by the window, head tilted as if listening to something only he can hear. They've been arguing about something, you can tell. About you.
You're safe now, but barely. If we don't figure out what you can do before they find us again, we're all dead.
