Its been awhile since I have posted a story. I was going to post a story about the Mutant X team being in Las Vegas but i need to fix it up more before i post it. I haven't really finished this story but i'm getting there. I sort of have writer's block but hopefully i won't leave you guys hanging. So it could take me awhile to post another chapter if you want me to then tell me please.This takes place after Lest He Becomes but in the beginning of Into The Moonless Night.
Dreaming/Flashback
"She's gone." said the female Paramedic. " Emma!" yelled a shocked Jesse. "Emma?" asked Brennan while bending over the stretcher. " Brennan, she's dead!" (Jesse) "Emma! let me see her!" Shalimar said as Brennan pulls her back." No! Shal, No!" Brennan said holding her. The paramedics roll Emma's stretcher away, her right hand drops from the sheet thats covering her dead body and her comlink ring falls to the pavement. "Emma..." Shalimar said as she picks up Emma's comlink ring from the pavement. " This can't be happening" said a shocked Brennan. " Where's Adam?" Jesse asked.
Reality
Brennan wakes up from his dream. Sweating as usual. He looks around and lays back down and closes his eyes.
Dreaming/Flashback
Sanctuary; A couple of minutes before Emma finds out the truth about Adam. "Hey, Emma!" Brennan called out. Turning around, Emma said smiling, " Hey, Whats up?" " You okay?, You've been acting a little weird lately." asked Brennan. " Yeah, I know. It's just--Its nothing. Don't worry." said Emma trying to reassure her best friend. Not believing her. He asked, " Emma, What is it?" Sighing, She says, " Lately--- My powers are becoming more powerful. Its getting really hard for me to keep stray emotions out of my head." " How long has this been...How long have you known?" asked a concerned Brennan. " I first used my "advanced" power when we rescued that soldier. Jesse and I were surrounded. I used my power to scare them off but in the process it also scared Jesse. So I used my power to erase his" memory." said Emma, who felt that the weight has been lifted off her shoulder.
" So...Jesse doesn't remember? Is that the only time you've used it?"
"Um, the last time was when Shalimar sort of went--crazy. Ivanou was going to get inside Adam's head but I pushed Adam out of the way. Ivanou and I were in this dreamscape and two more of me came out and we blasted him."
"Wow!--"
" I Know. Brennan. This scares the hell out of me. What if my powers keep advancing and I end up blowing up like Ashlocke? or become Psychopath?"
Brennan grabs her hands and says, " Emma, Listen to me. Your nothing like Ashlocke. Okay, Your the nicest Person I have ever met and you have something that Ashlocke didn't have"
"Which is..."
" You have us, the team and we love you. You also have Adam, the smartest man alive. Have you told him?"
" No. I haven't told anyone. Until now. I don't trust Adam. He's keeping us in the dark about something. I feel it."
" Yeah, I feel it too. But what other choice do we have? You have to tell him. After this mission I'll go with you to tell him, Okay. We'll get through this." He said Hugging her.
"I hope so. I have to get the list for Adam." Emma said as she let go of Brennan and smiled at him while walking away. The dream turns into the building Collapsing, Emma slipping with Adam screaming for her to hold on.
Reality
Brennan wakes up from the nightmare, turns on his light, walks out of his room and goes outside to get fresh air. Brennan sits on the sand and closes his eyes. Thinking about the time he was with Shalimar in Emma's room after her death.
Dreaming/Flashback
Shalimar is sitting by Emma's bed with a photo album in her lap. Brennan sits on the floor next to her."I guess we should make some arrangements for Emma. A funeral." Shalimar said. " Yeah, um. Yeah, we should get in touch with people she knew." Brennan said.
"Her mom."
"I think Adam might have kept track of where she moved to."
"It just feels like she could walk right back in that door any minute, you know?"
"I Know"
" I remember when we took this one. Emma had only been here a couple of months; we were picnicking on the mountain. She said it was the best day of her life. She touched my mind, shared it with me. She always shared the good stuff; kept the pain to herself." Said looking through the album and Brennan kisses her hand as she sobs. " I'm Sorry"
" Sorry for what? What, for feeling? Shal, we just lost one of our best friends. Okay, if you weren't ready to break down right now, then I would think there was something wrong with you."
" What are we gonna do without her?"
"I Don't Know. It'll just take time to get past this, you know? And then we'll figure out where to go from there."
"I'm gonna miss her so much!" Shalimar said crying
"I know" Brennan said hugging her. In the dream/flashback he hears: "Brennan...Brennan...?"
