Mutant X
"Slipping Away"
Chapter 1
"Shalimar?" Jesse called. He looked around, but couldn't find her. Sanctuary was dim, it was early in the morning and Brennan, Emma, and Adam were still asleep.
"Good morning Jesse," Emma greeted yaning abit. She sat down in the area Jesse was searching. "What are you doing?"
"Looking for Shalimar."
"Isn't she asleep?"
"No, I checked her room. We were suppose to go out early today."
"Maybe she already left?"
"All the vehicles are still here."
"Well, then I don't know what to tell you, Jesse."
"Can you find her? Like you found Brennan?"
"I can try, but I don't know if it'll work." Emma concentrated on Shalimar, but all got was a color and a feeling. "I saw red and I felt like there was something off--something wrong. She's here I know she is."
"Red?" Jesse asked and began to think. "Come on Emma, Jesse led her up the stairs to the platform that has the red overhang (holoimage platform) and sure enough Shalimar was on the floor staring up at the red overhang. "Shalimar?" Jesse and Emma crouched next to Shalimar, but she would not answer and she wasn't moving. "Is she breathing?" Jesse asked frantically.
"Yes, but very shallow," Emma said feeling her pulse. "We need to wake up Adam."
"I'll go get him."
"Okay." Emma held Shalimar's hand and watched as Jesse ran down the stairs and towards Adam's quarters. "Shalimar? Come on I need you to talk to me. Please?" Emma looked at her, but only saw the same features as before Emma closed her eyes, Shalimar's eyes were glossy-looking and there was no movement.Could she see what was happening? Emma thought. Emma concentrated on Shalimar once again, but this time she saw her. Shalimar walked towards Emma in Emma's telepathic connection.
"Emma, where are we?" Shalimar asked. She looked confused. She was wearing black, just like always it was either black or a tan color. "Emma?" she asked again.
"Don't you know? Do you remember what happened?" Emma asked.
"No. Why? What's going on?"
Emma showed Shalimar the image of Shalimar laying on the platform and her eyes open, staring. "We don't know what happened. Jesse was looking for you, we found you, and now Jesse's getting Adam."
"Emma?" they heard faintly.
"Adam?" Shalimar called. "Adam where are you?"
"I have to go," Emma told her.
"No, don't leave."
"Adam's calling, Shalimar. I have to go." Emma left Shalimar and re-entered the physical world and found Adam staring down at Shalimar and Jesse shaking her. "I'm okay."
"What were you doing?" Adam asked.
"I was talking to Shalimar. She didn't know what was happening and she doesn't remember what happened. She's scared."
"She doesn't remember, anything?" Adam asked. Emma just shook her head "no". "Let's get her out of here, I need to do a scan." Jesse nodded and picked her up, they all followed Adam to the medical area. Jesse set her down and stepped back as Adam began the scan. The scan ended and the monitors began to beep loudly.
"What's going on?" Jesse asked.
"There's something very wrong with her DNA. It looks like something is peeling away her New Mutant DNA. I can't correct it without knowing what causedf it."
"So how can we do that if she doesn't even know?" Jesse asked.
"I'm not quite sure, but it's almost as if she was hit by the Pushka."
"The Pushka?" Emma asked. "Is it killing her?"
"Possibly."
"Possibly? What kind of answer is that Adam?!" Jesse asked.
"Jesse, I just don't know."
