Emma awoke to Jesse standing beside her. She realized she was in Adam's lab and was lying on a bed normally found in a doctor's office. She shifted uncomfortably; the paper on the bed reminded her of all the painful blood tests she had to go through as a child.
"Hey, are you okay?" Jesse asked, helping Emma into a sitting position. He looked into her eyes and realized something. Those blue eyes captured his very essence and told him something every time he saw them: he loved her.
"I-I think so. What happened? The last thing I remember is the explosion." Of course, she was lying. She remembered Brennan holding Shalimar and how he had asked her to carry the New Mutant they had just found.
"You went unconscious. The explosion sent you flying into a wall causing you to break you arm and leg. You've been in a coma for about six months, giving your limbs time to heal." And for me to realize I love you. But as usual, he didn't add that part. If he did, who knows how Emma would react.
"Wow. That's a long time. I can't-" Emma stopped. Something felt different. Something inside of her. Whatever it was wanted to get out. Emma decided to give it some air. That was the biggest mistake she made. Of course, it was second to what would later happen.
"Em? Are you okay? Emma?" Jesse asked. He even slightly shook her.
"Why wouldn't I be okay?" Emma asked, her voice different. Before it was full of confusion, and now it was full of what seemed like⦠lust?
"It's just that-" Jesse was interrupted by Emma's hand in his hair. She pulled him closer and wrapped her legs around him. She ran her hands up and down his chest, unbuttoning every button she could find.
"Um, Emma? What's going on?" Jesse could tell his voice cracked. What he wanted for so many months was happening to him today, and it all felt wrong.
"Brennan's been brushing me off for the past few weeks. I just need someone to hold me. To make love to me." She smiled and put her lips to his. Jesse's hands ran down her back and up her chest. Emma moaned in pleasure as he bruised her neck with his kisses. She took his shirt off and felt his muscles tense as she licked his chin.
"Wait, this isn't right," Jesse whispered, coming back to his senses. He pushed Emma away and put his shirt on. Emma seemed to come back to her senses also.
"Jesse, what did you do?" she asked, horrified.
"What? You were the one who started to grope me!"
"Wait, what?"
"Let's just forget this ever happened," Jesse said. He turned away from her and she got off the bed.
"Should I make you forget?" Emma asked.
"I think so," he whispered. No! Wait! I want to remember this moment!
Emma sent a telepathically charged psionic bolt at Jesse. He staggered back and shook his head. Emma knew it had worked and quickly slipped past Jesse.
Emma walked into the kitchen and felt a rush of happiness from everyone in the room.
"Emma!" Shalimar cried. She ran towards the young telempath and hugged her, tears rolling down her cheeks. Emma hugged her back, and was surprised at herself for the thoughts that came next.
You little bitch! How dare you take Brennan from me? If it was up to me, I would've made you in that coma and not me.
Emma blinked a few times, hating herself for what she thought. It wasn't Shalimar's fault. It never was. Brennan was the one who started to get closer to Shalimar.
"How are you feeling?" Adam's heart-filled question interrupted Emma's horrible thought about Brennan.
"Um, I feel okay. I just have a really bad headache." She knew it was best to leave out what had happened between her and Jesse. Yet she felt that saying it would make Brennan jealous, which it would.
"We were all worried about you," Brennan said, moving slightly closer to Emma. She knew it was just so he could get closer to Shalimar.
"I'm sure you were," she whispered, wishing she could go into her room and smash every picture of Brennan she had in there.
"Don't you feel anything else?" Adam asked, a smile playing on his lips. Emma looked around, noticing the same smile on everyone's faces, even Jesse's, who had just walked into the room.
"Oh my God! Don't tell me I'm pregnant!" she exclaimed.
"Don't worry, you're not," Shalimar said, a full smile on her face.
"When I was checking your mutation levels a few weeks after the explosion, I realized that they had skyrocketed to a very high level," Adam said. "A few days after that, I came into the lab and noticed that everything in the room, including yourself, was hovering in the air." Emma looked at him and was very confused.
"What he's trying to say is that you developed new abilities," Shalimar burst out.
"What?" Emma exclaimed.
"That's right," Adam said. "You have developed the ability of telekinesis. Not only that, your other abilities have become much more stronger and have had an array of new effects. But I'll let that be up to you to figure out." Adam smiled and walked into the lab.
"Isn't this great?" Shalimar asked, pulling Emma closer.
"Yeah, this is." Emma turned towards Brennan after Shalimar stopped hugging her. "You wouldn't mind moving out of my way, would you?"
"Um, sure. Why not?" Brennan said, confused.
Jesse watched Emma walk away and held his smile. She always took his breath away and he hated Brennan for not giving her the love she deserved. He could do way better than him. All he was good at was the sex. Jesse could give her actual love, mental and physical.
Emma sat on her and held a picture of Brennan in front of her with her mind. She seemed to have developed her telekinesis while she was in the coma.
I hate you, you cheating son of a bitch!
There was a knock on the door and Emma put the picture back on the shelf.
"Come in," she said.
Brennan walked in and Emma got up.
"Hi," was all he said.
"Hey."
"Look, I wanted to talk to you about my behavior before the explosion. It's not that I don't love you. I do, very much. It's just that I'm not ready for a commitment. And that's when I realized that Shalimar could give me what I was looking for. Just some meaningless nights together. Not sex. Just sitting around, talking. And maybe some intimate moments."
"Wait a minute," Emma said, not holding back, "you're saying that you couldn't come and talk to me? What, was I too special for those meaningless talks? Because the way you've been treating, I feel like I was the one who deserved those meaningless talks. Our entire relationship is meaningless!"
Shalimar walked in at that moment and could tell there was tension in the air. She looked at Emma and was surprised at the look she was giving Brennan.
"Um, is this a bad time?" Shalimar asked, looking at Brennan.
"No Shal, this is a perfect time." Emma's voice was filled with both hatred and anger.
"Look, Emma. I'm sorry and-" Emma put a hand up to stop him.
"There is no point in explaining yourself. You have Shalimar now and for all I care, you can burn in hell with her!" At that moment Emma sent Brennan flying onto her bed. Shalimar looked at the telempath/telekinetic with a bewildered look.
"Join your lover on the bed," Emma mockingly said. She threw Shalimar on top of Brennan. Jesse and Adam rushed in, but a telekinetic force field was blocking them from entering.
"Are you going to remove your clothes now or do I have to do that for you also," Emma yelled. She walked out of the room and waved her hand. Adam and Jesse were sent flying into a wall.
"Emma," Jesse yelled, "wait." He ran after her into the lab. He grabbed her arm and he was horrified at what he saw. Her eyes were completely black.
"Jesse, I'm hoping we can continue our little lustful moment." Jesse was confused, and that confusion turned into bewilderment as Emma grabbed him by the collar and pressed her lips into his. The rest was all natural. Jesse ran his hands down Emma's chest and stopped at her waist. She was tugging at his dirty-blonde hair. He pushed her against the medical bed and she wrapped a leg around him.
"You don't know how long I've waited for this," he whispered.
"Your fantasy is now a reality," Emma whispered back. She used her mind to close the door and lock it. She again unbuttoned his shirt and ran her hands down his muscular chest. He moaned in pleasure as she bit his ear. It was her turn to moan as he licked her chin and her neck. He unzipped her jacket and she unzipped his pants. He was standing there in his underwear and he didn't care. That was when the change took place. Emma started to change back to her normal self.
"Jesse, what are you doing?" she asked, appalled. She pulled her self away and zipped her jacket back on. Instead of waiting for an answer, she quickly left and went to her room, not surprised that Brennan and Shalimar were gone.
What have I done? she asked herself.
