I do not own Mutant X. (Just thought I'd let you know.)
Author's note to thee: This story has a very different plot to the last one I wrote. It is also an Emma based fic. Please be kind and no flames. Any hoo I hope you enjoy reading 'A Mind Of Deception.' Oh and a great thanks to my better reader.
Italics mean someone's thinking it.
***********************************************************************
Jesse walked around Sanctuary in an attempt to find Emma. He had already checked her room and the lab. "Where could she be at this time of night?" He asked himself as he rounded the corner. He saw a dark figure about 20 feet away from him. "Emma?" He asked.
The figure turned around. "Yeah what's up?" It was Emma. She slowly walked toward the person that had called her name finding out that it was Jesse.
"Emma I can't seem to remember what happened a while before Adam and I got the Helix in the air. You were there weren't you? What happened?"
"What do you mean Jesse?" Asked Emma hiding her alarm.
"I am just wondering if you could help me remember what happened. It's just like a blank space in my memory and then, I'm standing outside of the Helix with you." Jesse's voice began to falter near the end of his sentence. His mind started to go into overload. A blank spot in my memory and then I'm standing with Emma. Could she have caused it? She wouldn't. His thoughts were interrupted.
"Jesse, I, you can't expect to remember every single detail that happened to you during your entire life." Emma informed.
"But it wasn't very long ago. I should be able to remember. Emma you need to tell me what happened. It's really buggin me."
"Jesse." Emma sounded like she was going to cry, a tear was already forming in her eye.
"Emma all I ask is that you fill me in. I'm not getting mad at you."
"Jesse, I." She looked around making sure there was no one around to see her. She broadcasted a message to Jesse. It made him so tired he collapsed into a deep sleep. "I'm so sorry," said Emma as she struggled to get Jesse onto the sofa. "I can't tell you. Not yet, maybe even never." She brushed back his bangs and gently kissed him on the forehead. She walked noiselessly out of the room. Leaving Jesse to wake up in the morning.
"What am I supposed to do now, Jesse is going to ask me again and I can't just keep this up for the rest of my life. But I can't tell him the truth; even if he didn't tell the others he would never trust me again. I have to figure out something though." Thought Emma as she lied down on her bed to search her dreams for an answer.
Emma woke up with a start. Eckhart, Eckhart was in her dream. But could he really be the one that could learn her secrets and not distrust her. Her fellow members would fear her so much that they would probably - but would Eckhart, would he fear her or embrace her? Maybe Eckhart is the one I can trust. But he was the one that put all thoughts new mutants in the stasis pods. He would never do that to me, even I know that he wants my power on his side. Eckhart, he is the answer to my troubles. But how am I going to get him to hear me out and believe that I want to join him? I have already betrayed him once before when I was split in two. He would be slow to believe me even if he even did.
Emma stood up and stretched, "I know. I'll make him an offer he would be a fool to refuse." She thought. A knock came on her door. "Who is it?" "It's me. Who did you think it was?" Came Shalimar's voice from the other side of the door.
"Oh Shalimar, sorry I almost forgot. I'll be out in a sec." Emma quickly changed into her jogging outfit and opened her bedroom door. "Ok let's go."
"Finally. Do you know what time it is? It's eight in the morning you lazy bum."
"Hey I had to stay up a little later then I thought I would. Something came up."
"What?"
"I don't have to tell you everything that goes on in my life do I?"
"Oh, sorry Em. I was just worried about you is all."
"I'm a big girl I can take care of my self." Said Emma in an instant sounding voice. "In-fact I could take care of you to." Added Emma in her own thoughts.
"Do you still want to go for a jog?"
"Yeah, it should give me some time to think. Lets go." Said Emma.
During the jog Emma had thought out her plan and worked out every single detail down to the smallest point. It would start tomorrow. All she had to do was avoid Jesse so he couldn't confront her again.
The rest of the day passed so slow it felt like a minute lasted for an hour. She seemed to have to avoid Jesse so many times that she went into her room for most of the day. Telling the concerned Shalimar that she was even more tired then she had thought and that she didn't feel the greatest either. She spent most of her time trying to find any flaws in her finely tuned plan. After a long while of thinking she realized one, how was she going to get out of Sanctuary and have enough time to put her plan into action? Without them coming to look for her too soon. It didn't take her long to figure out what she would tell the others.
Knock, knock, knock. "Emma can you come out of your room for a sec." It sounded like Jesse.
Emma sat still on her bed doing her best not to make a sound, while sifting through Jesse's emotions. "He's here to ask me again. Great what I'm I going to do."
Bang, bang. Jesse was hitting the door even harder than before. "Emma I know you're in there. Come on, answer."
"I'll be out in a sec. I guess I didn't hear you over my walk-man."
"No problem. Just hurry up." Answered Jesse.
Emma opened the door and found Jesse waiting patiently on the other side. "I don't know if I told you last night before I fell asleep on the sofa but, I can't remember what happened the other day. I mean first I'm trying to get the Helix fixed and then there is a blank spot where I can't seem to recall anything that happened then I'm standing outside with you. Do you think you could tell me what happened just so it stops bugging me? I'd really appreciate it," said Jesse. Retelling her what he had told her the day before.
"Jesse what do you mean you don't remember?"
"I just don't. I don't know why either. Can you just kinda fill me in on what happened already?" Jesse was growing impatient
Emma was really starting to panic. "I can't tell him. What I'm I supposed to do?" She got an idea and carried it out right away. She first put the thought in her head that she had finished talking about what she came there for then sent it to Jesse. It worked.
"Thanks Emma. Do you have anything to ask me?"
"Nope." "Well I guess I should let you get back to whatever you were doing in there." Jesse turned around and walked away.
When she was sure Jesse was gone she went back into her room and let out a great sigh of relief. And hoped to herself that he would not realize he never really got his question answered until she was gone the next day.
