The Addison Project Chapter 4

Ch 4
Brennan walked through Sanctuary slowly. Something was wrong. It didn't feel like the Sanctuary he was used to. Everything had a warm, white glow to it. He wore only jeans, and a white button up shirt. They were glowing. I must be dreaming he thought.
He saw a shadow. "Hello?" he called, walking in the direction of the shadow. The shadow stopped and turned the corner to face Brennan. It was Emma, dressed in a very simple white peasant dress.
"Brennan! I've been looking everywhere! I haven't been able to find anyone!" Emma beamed, thankful she had found someone.
Brennan shook his head as he backed away from her. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Only a while ago, you were shooting your energy bursts at me! What the hell are you doing here?"
Emma looked very confused. "Um, okay. I didn't throw any energy burst at you, and I live here. What is wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me? Emma! You have been playing for the other side! You've been working for Eckhart!" Brennan was practically yelling!
"What are you talking about?" Emma said. Brennan looked at her for a moment, then at the floor.
"Emma, what is the last thing you remember?" Brennan asked.
"Uh, I don't know, we were in a warehouse waiting for a new mutant." Emma said slowly. "After that nothing. I feel like I just woke up from a long sleep."
"Okay, this is really weird. I don't understand this at all." Brennan started to pace, making Emma nervous.
"What is going on?"
Brennan shrugged. "If I knew, I'd tell you, but." Brennan trailed off, as he was overcome with pain. His head felt as if it had been run over by a truck.
"Brennan? Are you okay?" Emma's voice was echoing, as white light seemed to pour over her. He could no longer see her face.
"Brennan?" Adam said, his voice echoing. "Brennan, can you hear me?"
Brennan slowly opened his eyes. He found himself in the lab at sanctuary. He saw Adam, Jesse, and Shalimar, looking over him, very concerned.
"How are you feeling?" Adam asked.
"Okay, I guess." Brennan said. He was contemplating the dream he had just had. Or was it a dream? It had seemed so real.
"You had us worried." Shalimar smiled.
Adam looked at Brennan's vitals. "Your blood pressure and heart rate were unusually high while you were unconscious. But they've come back down."
"Well, we'll leave you to get some rest." Jesse said, as he and Shalimar left.
"I want you to stay in here overnight, so I can observe your vitals. Get some sleep." Adam said, turning to leave.
"Wait." Brennan said, making Adam stop and turn around. "Adam, something really strange happened when I was unconscious."
"What do you mean?"
Brennan shrugged. "I really don't know. It seemed like a dream, but it felt real."
"What happened?" Adam asked.
"I was walking through sanctuary and so was Emma. I stopped her and prepared to fight her, but she didn't remember anything that's happened over the past weeks. She said she felt as if she had just woken from a really long sleep, and that the last thing she remembered was going to the warehouse to meet the new mutant, when we were set up." Brennan paused, looking into Adam's concerned eyes. "I think what happened is connected with what happened today, when mine and Emma's powers collided.
Adam was silent as he paced, his mind racing. "It would make sense, why your heart rate was rising while you were unconscious. Brennan, I think your and Emma's dreams, or whatever you want to call them, is connecting you to each other."
Brennan frowned. "The collided powers connected us, mentally?"
Adam nodded. "I think so."
"So Emma will remember the dream thing too?"
"I don't think so, I think you were talking to the Emma we know, the Emma that's being suppressed in her own subconscious." Adam guessed.
"DO you think it will happen again?" Brennan asked.
"Maybe, when you're both asleep." Adam replied. "But don't worry about it now, just try and get some rest."
Brennan nodded, as Adam smiled at his reassuringly, before turning and walking out of the lab. His smile melted away as he walked to his own room. He stopped and turned, looking into the lab at Brennan. "This is a whole new game. A whole new game."
