-1Chapter 11-
Sorry for the long wait but here is the next chapter.
Jesse lays down the unconscious girl on a bed on there lab.
"What is going on?" Shalimar says going in.
Lexa and Brennan right behind her.
"Jesse, why are you dress like that and who is that?" Lexa says trying to control her anger.
"She ask me if I can go help her on something. I agreed and well we dressed up so we wont be recognize but she seems to have lost control of her powers." he says looking down at Elizabeth and he starts removing her wig.
Once the long dark hair cascade down to her side they all understand who it is.
"What is she doing here?" Lexa says through gritted teeth.
"How many times do I have to explain to you what is going on?" Jesse says raising his voice.
"What can we do?" Brennan says stepping up and helping Jesse remove her make up.
"I'll call her cousin." Shalimar says walking out of the room.
Lexa glares over to her boyfriend before walking out.
"Are you alright?" Brennan ask him when they are left alone. "You seem a little freak out."
"I don't know. I…for a moment I felt so afraid for her. She wasn't being herself." Brennan nods. "I mean look what happened to Ashlocke when he lost control of his powers. They destroyed him."
"What can we do, Jess? This is out of our league. Remember we are all dying here. Except for you."
"That's it." Jesse says walking over to a computer. "I can be the key to saving her."
"How are suppose to know what help for you. They wanted to dissect you last time. We will not let you become a guinea pig."
"Brennan, we have to save her. If anything…if I loose…" he shakes his head and trails off.
"What about Lexa? Not so long ago you said you wanted to ask her to marry you." Brennan says looking his friend in the eyes.
Jesse looks away.
"Things change. People change. I know I did."
"You guys." Shalimar says from the doorway. "There is someone here to see Elizabeth."
Brennan looks over at her and sees her sad expression. When she moves to the side Alex, Elizabeth's cousin, comes in with Matt, her boyfriend, right behind him.
"What happened here?" Alex ask reaching his cousin's side.
"We went out to get this thing from this company and then she attacked us. Even me." Jesse says looking over to his friends in shame.
"We want to thank you for taking care of MY GIRLFRIEND but we should take her home now." Matt says emphasizing the his girlfriend part.
Alex nods.
"Thanks, Jess, you are a good friend. All of you." he says looking at the other two members of Mutant X. "But we must take her home and stabilize her."
"We can help, Alex. We can help you." Jesse says stopping Alex from moving another step.
Only Matt doesn't want to hear another word of it. He goes to the bed where Elizabeth is lying and takes her in his arms.
"I don't think so." he says. "We have all we need at her home. Besides I don't like the way you look at her. I don't trust your intensions with her. She has a boyfriend and I want you to keep away from her."
"Matt, calm down. He is just trying to help us. We are all in the same side." Alex says trying to calm the other man. "Besides Jesse has his own girlfriend and probably just sees Liz as a sister. Right?" he finishes looking at Jesse.
Jesse just looks over at his childhood friend.
"Well?" a woman's voice says.
Jesse looks over to the door and sees Lexa waiting there for the answer. When it doesn't come she storms off. Jesse just lets out a huge sigh.
"I told you." Matt says.
"This is neither the place or time to argue." Alex says scolding his cousin's boyfriend. "But they are right. We can use all the help we can get." Matt tries to protest but Alex continues. "The more allies we have the better. What were you two able to accomplish?"
Jesse gives a big smile to his friend before answering.
"I don't know exactly what this is but we got it." Jesse says pulling out a vial.
"We will take that." Alex says getting it and handing it over to the other man. "We will leave for tonight now. I don't see a reason to stay here. If you guys truly want to help us you guys should go over to my house for lunch and we will talk. Thank you."
The trio then leaves without another word.
Once left alone Shalimar looks over to Jesse with a sad expression.
"You should talk to Lexa." she whispers before walking out.
"She is right. You two really need to talk." Brennan says walking right behind his girlfriend.
Jesse goes out a few minutes later to look for Lexa. He finds her sitting on a chair reading a book of how to torture people. Probably thinking of ways to make him pay.
"Hi." he says sitting on the chair in front of her.
"I don't want to talk to you." she says getting up.
"Please, Lexa, listen to me. We really need to talk." she sits back on the chair she was sitting just seconds before. "I… I don't know where to start." he says pushing his hair back.
"How could you do this to me?" Lexa finally says. "I trusted you. I even loved you. You how hard it was for me to really open up, to you, to anybody. Then you stab me in the back."
"Lexa, believe when I say I love you. I am just very confuse right now. I am feeling these things I have never felt before. So much stronger than anything. Maybe Alex is right. I am worried for her because I see her as my little sister. I just want to help her. Protect her." he says.
"You are not looking at her like a little sister. You don't even look at her like you look at Shalimar. That is how I know there is more that you are willing to share. I think we should end it now before we hate each other." she says looking away.
"Lexa, no, please give me another chance. I don't want to end this wonderful thing just because of something that might not be what we think." he says kneeling in front of her and grabbing her arms.
"If we continue, Jesse, I don't think we will be able to be friends. You need time to think. I need time to think. Besides I think that saving her is more important than trying to save this train wreck." she smiles down at him. "Who knows we might still be together when all is said and done."
Jesse gets up and kisses her in the forehead.
"Thank you." he says going to bed.
--
Elizabeth is lying on a medical bed on her cousin's basement. The moment they laid her there they gave her an injection to be able to calm her powers and let her sleep more peacefully.
Matt is sitting right next to her just to make sure she will be okay.
It was going to be another long night for them.
"Jesse…" he hears her whisper in her sleep.
He clenches his fist before looking away from her. He will have to take out his frustrations on something before 'he' arrives tomorrow.
If your still out there don't forget to review.
