This is my second Mutant X fic. I am a huge Brenn/Shal fan so any story I write will probably be about them

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of the show so please don't sue me Enjoy and remember to review!

A/N: Brenn and Shal are already involved when the story starts.

................................

The club was packed as they danced to the music that pumped out of the speakers. They were so engrossed in one another it didn't matter what was going on around them because they could care less.

"They look so good together" said Emma to Jesse as they watched their friends from a near by table

"Yeah they make a cute couple" replied Jesse not really looking as he drank his beer.

"Someone is jealous"

"I'm not jealous I just don't think Brennan is right for Shalimar"

Glancing in their friend's direction again "How do you figure?" asked Emma who was more than interested in hearing Jesse's response

"It's just Brennan doesn't have a great track record both with women and life in general"

"So you think that because Brennan has made mistakes he is automatically going to hurt Shal?" didn't answer "I still think you're jealous" she finished with a smiled

Jesse smiled "maybe I'm just being protective of Shalimar. I mean she is like a sister to me and I just don't want to see her hurt."

"Trust me I don't think you have to worry about Brennan hurting Shalimar"

"Oh yeah what makes you say that?"

"I can sense these things remember" replied Emma taking a sip of her beer

Just then Shalimar and Brennan returned to the table "hey what are you guys talking about?" asked Shalimar as she took a swig of her beer.

"Nothing" replied Jesse and Emma in unison

"Right, I am gonna go get another drink, anyone want anything?" said Brennan as he started to move towards the bar

"I'm good thanks" said Emma

"I'll have another one" replied Shalimar

"I could go for another also so I'll go with you" said Jesse leaving the two females of the group alone

"So?" started Emma

"So what?" replied Shalimar knowing full well what her friend was asking

"How is everything going?"

"Great" she started as she turned to make sure the guys weren't on their way back "my god Emma I think I am in love with him"

"Well duh!!" and they both laughed

Meanwhile the guys were having a heard time getting the bartenders attention. "So how are things with you and Shalimar?" asked Jesse

"You just cut to the chase don't you" replied Brennan

"Just don't hurt her ok?"

"Man, I would never intentionally hurt Shal"

"You're in love with her aren't you?" Jesse's question caught Brennan off guard and he merely smirked at his friend "you are I can see all over your face"

"Don't say anything I haven't told her yet" Jesse merely grinned like a Cheshire cat "I am serious you say anything I will hurt you"

"Can I tell Emma?" he asked trying not to laugh

"Speaking of what is up with the two of you" he asked as he paid the bartender who had finally managed to take their order.

Jesse practically choked on his beer "nothing is going on we are just friends" Brennan merely raised his eyebrow, grabbed the drinks and headed back to their table "Hey it's the truth"

None of them noticed the man who had been watching and listening to them the majority of the night. *the day of reckoning is coming. Will you be ready Brennan?* he thought

Ok there is part one.let me know what you think
