Melissa wasn't sure if she could like Boston; the city was nice enough, but it just didn't feel as alive as New York City. She rolled the black hose up her leg, then strapped her combat knife to her thigh. She really didn't like going into a job without her guns on, but she'd at least worked out a way to get those and her hood to her at a moment's notice.

Once she's dressed, she stands up and goes over to the small table where the map of Benedict Kine's estate is laid out, along with a few pieces of Kelly's guns, some markers, and a a white chocolate mocha.

"Okay, babe. So, let's go over this plan one more time..."

"Status?" Kane asked an underling as he watched Tessa and Spectre in the gym.

"The reprogramming of Nicholas is almost done, sir. It's been slow going with the...uh recent happenings," the underling said.

Kane nodded. "I expected as much. Do you have an ETA?" Kane wanted his little family back together. He had plans and he needed all of his children for these plans. Tessa and Nicholas had been returned to the fold. There was one more left. One Kane needed to lead the team.

"A few days," the underling replied.

"Good. What about the other project?" Kane asked.

"Spectre has finished collecting all of the requested samples," he said. "Generation One will be ready to start training within the week. In a year they will be fully grown, trained and ready for use."

Kane nodded. "Good. Alexi says our potential investors are quite interested in the final product." He turned and looked at the man. "Is that all?"

"Yes, sir."

Kane nodded and turned away from the man. He returned to watching two of his "children".

Ezra Kane looked at Phobia and Spectre. "It is time to bring Nicholas home," he said. "He has been away from us too long and he needs to be brought back into the family."

Phobia and Spectre nodded.

"You have the equipment you need," Kane continued. He glanced over at Alexi for a brief moment. He didn't like working with the Russian, but the man did have badly needed resources. He turned back to his two operatives. "The machine is working well and we do not anticipate any problems."

They both nodded.

"Go and bring back your brother," Kane nodded.

The two left and Kane smiled.

Tessa Reece walked down the crowded and busy sidewalk of New York. She hadn't stayed at Xavier's long. It just didn't seem like her kind of place, so she made her way back to the city. She had managed to find a room in an apartment with three other people. They seemed nice enough and Tessa kept to herself.

She had even found a waitressing job at a nice restaurant and the pay was actually pretty decent. In all she hadn't done too badly for herself.

She walked and was oblivious to the man following her.

There was a sharp prick in the back of her neck and her vision blurred. The man appeared next to her and then the two of them disappeared. Another wayward child was brought back into the fold of the family.

Now that they were established at a base and had the necessary equipment it was time for their wayward children to come home. Ezra had been most displeased that three of the four had been allowed to run free. They were out there on their own and it disturbed him. They should not be out there on their own.

He looked at the man standing next to him. Spectre was the only one who had stayed by his side during the fiasco. Even Nicholas had left. Tessa would be the first brought back. Nicholas next and then Kelly. She was the wildcard and the one that may require the whole team.

Thankfully for Ezra his team would have the extra powers the siphoning machine would provide. Right now there were five mutants in there and Spectre could utilize two of the powers at once. Unfortunately he would be limited to two, but Ezra didn't expect Tessa to put up much of a fight. Spectre and Tess with extra powers should be able to bring Nicholas in and then the three of them could bring Kelly in.

Ezra smiled. "Go. Get her and bring her home."

"Of course," Spectre said and disappeared in a heartbeat.
