"EMMA!" Shalimar yelled

"Yeah, I'm over here," Emma said from under the tree where she had watched the whole fight between Shalimar and Kendra.

The wounded feral turned to face a petrified Emma. "You ok?"

Emma smiled slightly at Shalimar. "Yeah, I'm fine; you should really be worried about yourself. Look at your shoulder!"

Shalimar hadn't had time in the fight to look at the wound she had sustained from Kendra's super strength. The wound was directly on her shoulder blade and was turning a nasty shade of blue and green.

"Do you think it's broken?" Emma asked, turning away slightly nauseated.

"I don't know, but we should get out of here before Kendra wakes up. I don't want to have to deal with her again." At that, Shalimar turned and began to walk out to the parking lot where Brennan and Jesse were waiting. Emma fallowed close on her heels, ready to catch Shalimar if her strength decided to give out. Little did they know, there was another person behind them who had also witnessed the fight.

Kat Outlim rose from her hiding spot where she had seen the fight between the two new mutants clearly. "I've finally got you, Shalimar - you and those other freaks you hang out with. I'm going to expose you for what you really are: A FREAK!"

When Shalimar and Emma got to the Isuzu, they heard POD blasting from the black sports car, and saw Brennan and Jesse dancing in their seats. The 2 men were obviously talking about something, and Emma and Shalimar got the feeling the conversation was about them.

Brennan rolled down his window and said, "Well, you two certainly took your sweet it-..." but his words were cut off when he saw Shalimar stumble a bit as she walked. When she turned to face him he caught sight of her severely bruised shoulder. "Shal... What the hell happened?"

"Oh, nothing; we were just catching up with an old friend of Emma's." Shalimar's voice was filled with sarcasm. She winced in pain as she climbed into the back seat of the car with the help of Emma, who continued to send Shalimar calming visions to help her with the pain, and to keep her feral temper in check.

Brennan rolled his big brown eyes and then turned to look at Emma. "What really happened? Minus the sarcasm please." Brennan set his playful glare on Shalimar, trying to lighten the mood.

As Emma proceeded to tell the men the whole story from the time they walked to the lockers to the
end of the fight, the men's eyes widened in fear.

Brennan's face was filled with concern for his girlfriend. "Shal, what the hell were you thinking? You should have called me to help you!"

"With what, Brennan? My secret comm. ring? Sorry, but they haven't been issued yet," Shalimar said, her voice quivering somewhat.

Emma and Jesse tried to stifle their giggles as Brennan began to give Shalimar the "You can't do it all alone" speech. "Come on, we have to get you to the hospital so they can have a look at your shoulder," he said.

"It'll be just fine," Shalimar said with a slight growl, due to her feral side, which earned her a small nudge from Emma.

"He's just trying to help; you know he loves you."

"Yeah, I know. It just sucks; now I won't be able to do anything for a while."

"Well, think of it this way: now you get me to wait on you hand and foot." Brennan flashed her a smile and kissed her quickly before putting the car into drive and taking off for the nearest hospital.

Shalimar smiled at him and then tried to get into a comfortable position for the trip. She was in great pain due to her shoulder; she would never admit that to anyone, but Emma knew the truth.

After hours of waiting at the hospital to be seen, the foursome then had to go through the long and grueling process of explaining what happened to the doctor. Of course, they didn't tell Doctor Breedlove the real story. The doctor had taken X-rays, and told them that Shalimar's shoulder blade had been broken; she would have to be put in a cast for 2 months. Shalimar walked out of the hospital none too happy, with Brennan helping her to the car. Emma and Jesse were behind the two, quietly talking to each other.

Jesse touched Emma's cheek. "I'll never let anything like this happen again. I will always be there for you."

"I know; I'm just lucky Shalimar showed up when she did. She saved my life," Emma stated, still somewhat shaken up from the events of the day.

"Don't worry. She'll be ok. I love you."

"I love you, too."

With that said the two of them walked to the car hand in hand.
