…

Emma saw a young woman with dark hair standing a few feet away from her. She could tell she was a woman out for revenge. And the emotions she felt were far from friendly.

"Um, I guess I am. But who are you?" Emma saw the rest of the team give each other worried looks.

"I'm Lexa. I replaced you."

"You did what?" Emma looked at the three members of Mutant X around her. "Could you guys tell me what's going on. I mean, I understand you would bring her in to fill some void, but to replace me? That's bullshit!"

"We didn't replace you. She replaced you herself." Brennan gave a smile at Lexa.

"Gee, thanks Brennan. You make me feel so welcome," Lexa said, rolling her eyes. The next thing Emma said even surprised her. "How about we have a battle to see who stays and who goes?"

...

Everyone was gathered in the dojo. Emma and Lexa stood in the centre while the rest of the team sat in the door.

"I can't believe you developed telekinesis and the ability to astral project," Shalimar said as Emma astral projected herself behind Lexa. The projection sent Lexa flying into the wall.

"Wait till you see what else I can do." Emma concentrated as a beam of light shot towards her. She phased out and the beam went through her.

"You can phase too?" Jesse exclaimed.

"No, but you can. I developed my telempathic powers while I was gone. By reading your emotions, I was able to borrow your abilities for a while." Emma was knocked back as an invisible Lexa threw her into a wall.

"Calm down, Lexa," Shalimar angrily said, quickly getting up.

"Relax babe," Brennan said, putting his arms around Shalimar.

"I see the lovebirds got together," Emma said, laughing. As Lexa came to punch Emma, Emma manipulated Lexa's emotions so that she saw a horrifying beast instead of Emma. Lexa tried to fight her way out of the illusion but was consumed by fear. Admiring her work, Emma decided to finish the fight. She created a sphere of telekinetic energy and shot it at Lexa. She flew into the far wall.

"I guess you win," Lexa said, getting up. She quickly left as Emma went after her.

…

Lexa sat in her room- Emma's room- and couldn't help but feel hostility towards Emma. How could she lose to someone who could read emotions? Then again, Emma was the most powerful mutant on the team.

"Can I come in?" Emma asked, knocking on the door.

"It is your room. Why are you asking me?" Lexa got off the bed and walked towards the door.

"I need to talk to you. You see, I decided that it would be better for the team if we both stayed. And I also know that Jesse would feel a lot better."

Lexa was stunned. She knew that Jesse had some feelings for her, but she didn't know he had extreme feelings for her. She quickly composed herself. "Are you sure they aren't for you?"

"Oh, I know that some of them are. In fact, Brennan feels the same way. In fact, I even picked up some of the fantasies they have about me. Anyways, as I was saying, if you stay, everyone benefits. The only problem is that if you do anything to hurt or betray any member of the team, I promise you that I will go out of my way and telekinetically destroy every molecule in your body. Have a great evening!" Emma smiled and left.

"Wow. She's even more vengeful than me." Lexa shrugged and went to take a shower."
