Quote: When I want your advice, I'll beat it out of you.

Details: Best friends in Sloman High School, Emma and Michelle went to the prom together, and used their psionic abilities to get free drinks at Jasper's, the local coffee bar. The two lost touch after graduation. Michelle, the more level-headed of the two, was recruited into the GSA to help infiltrate Mutant X's safehouses. GSA scientists altered Michelle's DNA to make her more machine than human. Mason then allowed the emotion-less Michelle to escape Genomex with Mutant X, so that she could transmit Sanctuary's database to him. But Emma was able to connect telempathically with her friend to release her emotional side, and Adam stabilized Michelle's DNA to give her better control over her emotions.

From Adam's Mutant X Lives diary: MICHELLE BIGELOW - There was a while when Mason Eckhart and I were friends. I think, in some ways, that because we were close we remain obsessive enemies today. I lay awake at nights wondering if the slightest turn could have resulted in me becoming him or vice versa. That must be how it is for Emma in regards to Michelle. Two girls who knew each other so well and shared much together. Then they took different paths. Is their friendship any less meaningful or true? In the end, I cannot look at Michelle as another mere Genomex villain and I hope Emma does not. Now, if I could only see Mason with the same open heart. It will not happen soon.
