Chapter One: Sick

"Here you are." Brennan said handing the two new mutants their new identities. "Thanks." They said receiving them and smiling. "Make sure you let us know how things turn out." Shalimar said. The couple agreed, and Brennan stared explaining to them to basic rules and precautions.

Pausing for a moment, he glanced over at Shalimar and noticed she looked uncomfortable. "Shal, are you alright?" Brennan asked putting his hand on her shoulder. "I don't feel very good, it's nothing." She said forcing a smile. Brennan sighed, but knew not to argue with her. He continued talking to the other mutants, until Shalimar screamed out in agony and fell to the floor.

"Shal!" Brennan cried and knelt down next to her. Feeling her forehead, he noticed it was hot. "You're burning up!" He told her. "We have to get you home." Shalimar shook her head and protested. "No, I'll be fine." She said. This time he wouldn't back down. "No you're not. I'm sending you back to Sanctuary in the Helix." Brennan said picking her up. "I'll be right back." He told he two mutants.

"How will you get back?" Shalimar asked, leaning her head against Brennan's chest and closing her eyes. "I'll have Jesse pick me up, don't worry." He said reassuringly, kissing the top of her head. Carrying Shalimar onto the Double Helix, he sat her down and made her comfortable.

"Jess, I'm sending Shal back in the Helix. She's not feeling good. The Helix is on autopilot. Have Emma prep the lab for a scan and take care of her. Then come pick me up." Brennan said into his comm. ring. Jesse smiled at how much Brennan cared for Shalimar. "No problem." Jesse replied.

After setting the autopilot to fly back to Sanctuary, Brennan walked back over to Shalimar. "Be careful." He said quietly. "I will." She assured him. She kissed him softly and he walked out of the Helix. Closing the hatch, the elemental watched as it took off.

Once the Helix landed in the hangar, Jesse helped Shalimar. Shalimar growled irritated as he helped her to the lab. "Do you need anything?" Jesse asked, laying his 'sister' in the lab chair. "Yeah, to get better." Shalimar said seriously. "Besides that?" Jesse asked smiling. "Water, please." Shalimar said, and watched as Jesse left the lab.

Shortly after, Emma entered the lab and set Shalimar up for a scan. "You know, I really don't want to do this." Shalimar complained, moving uncomfortably in her seat. Emma just sighed and typed a few buttons into the keyboard. "Ready?" Emma asked, waiting for Shalimar to lie still.

"No!" Shalimar said angrily. "I said I don't want to do this! I don't want a scan!" Shalimar screamed jumping out of her chair. "Shal, calm down." Emma said stunned. 'Why was Shalimar acting like this?' Emma wondered. "No, Emma! I won't calm down!" Shalimar continued to yell. "I don't want to calm down and I don't want a scan!" Emma was worried but also scared. She backed up to the wall and tried to talk to Shalimar.

"Shal, I don't know what's gotten into you, but you're not yourself." Emma said trembling. "You know why Emma?" Shalimar asked still yelling. "Because Adam Kane screwed with our genes and turned us into freaks!" she screamed. Emma stared unbelievably at Shalimar.

"Adam's dead." Emma said quietly and sadly. 'He died to save me.' She added silently. "Yes he is!" Shalimar said smiling. "I hope it was painful." Shalimar smirked, returning to a normal tone of voice. Emma gasped and anger filled her. "Stop it!" Emma cried, now yelling. Emma walked right up to Shalimar and looked her in the eye. "Don't ever say stuff about Adam like that again." Emma warned.

"Don't tell me what to do!" the feral screamed and grabbed Emma by the neck. Holding her up, Shalimar threw Emma across the lab. Emma hit the wall hard and fell to the floor, unconscious.

Seconds after Shalimar ran out of the lab, Jesse entered. "Shalimar?" Jesse called, seeing an empty chair. Noticing Emma on the floor, Jesse set the water bottle down and ran to Emma's side. Looking at the telempath, he noticed a large cut in her forehead, blood pouring from the wound. Jesse cursed under his breath and held Emma's face in his hands.

Picking Emma up he laid her down gently in the lab chair. As Jesse tended Emma's head, he got a call on his comm. "Hellooo?" Anybody home?" Brennan asked. "Brennan, you have to get back here now." Jesse said nervously. "Emma's hurt and I think Shalimar did it." Jesse explained quickly.

"What?" Brennan asked. "No way. Shal wouldn't hurt Emma." Brennan said confused. "Just get back here!" Jesse said. "Alright, I'm on my way." Brennan finished. Walking up to the nearest car, Brennan made sure there was no one around. Once he was sure he was alone, Brennan used a tesla coil to unlock the car and start it up. Smiling a little, Brennan drove the car towards Sanctuary.
