Authors' Notes: Attention! Very important! In this chapter is where Emma
and Brennan come into view. The way the came to Mutant X is the same,
everything up until when the rings are given out. The rest is from my
imagination. This will probably be the last chapter in this fanfic because
after Emma and Brennan, it's not really the BEGINNING of the team, so thank
you all for reviewing, and bye for now.
Disclaimer: They don't belong to me, you know how this goes! The song at the end isn't mine either.
The next day was a bit gruesome for Jessi as you might imagine. He sat in the sun-flooded kitchen, eating cereal, if a little sullenly. Maybe Shalimar was right, he should just lay off, I mean, he was the newest recruit that Adam had taken under his wing, and he had no right just to come in and mess things up like this. But then again, why not? No, Jessi shook his head, it wasn't his place to take away Shalimar like that, but that didn't mean that he couldn't be at least a little miffed. He looked at the clok hanging on the cream wall of to his right. 10:30, and no one else had woken up yet. What could they be doing.?
In the midst of black sheets, a yawned sounded, and Shalimar squinted against the morning sun. Untagling herself, form Adam, she brushed her hair away and bent over Adam and gave him a kiss.
"Mmm-ghmnlbmn." Adam mumbled, and shifted, never opening his eyes once. Shalimar nudged him,
"Come on, sleepy head, it's almost eleven, we have to get up." Adam slowly opened his eyes, and stretched,
"Well we don't have to." he said slyly, wrapping his arms around Shalimar, and pulling her down. She relaxed in his comfortable grip for a moment, then reluctantly pulled herself away.
"Yes we do," she said strictly, a hint of a smile on her lips, "Now get up, I'm going to take a shower, and you tidy up." Shalimar walked into the private bathroom, and turned on the hot shower. As steam filled the room, she quickley slipped in under the spray of water, and closed the sliding glass door behind her. Adam got up with a sigh, pulled on some black clothes (as usual) and messily made up the bed before proceeding to the bathroom door frame that he lounged against. Shalimar yawned through the water, and managed to stretch cat-like before rinsing her soapy head and turning off the water. Adam's eyes raked her body as she stepped out of the bath tub, the water running over her body in streamlets. "Adam, could you hand me that towel over there?" Adam held the towel in front of him, and she stepped into it, then turned as Adam circled her with the fuzzy material.
Twenty minutes later, they trudged downstairs, and into the kitchen. As soon as Adam saw Jessi's glaring figure, he wrapped an arm around Shalimar's waist protectively, but when Shalimar saw Jessi, she pulled away, not wanting to injure Jessi's fellings any further or start another fight between the two men.
"Well, it took you a while to get down here, " Jessi said, plastering a smile on his handsome face. Shalimar looked uncomfortably away,
"Yeah, " Adam answered, grabbing an apple.
That afternoon Emma and Brennan arrived.
After Adam had given out the rings to the newest members of the group and everyone said their greetings, they all went their separate ways in Sanctuary. Brennan turned to Emma after the others left, "You know, call me crazy, but is there some tension in here or what." The brunnette nodded,
"I know, Jessi looked really mad," She shrugged, " I don't know, it's not really my buisness, maybe we'll figure it out later. Anyway, Shalimar said she's getting my room ready, so I'm gonna go check it out." Emma found the other woman in a room not too far off from what Shalimar said was to be Brennan's room. She knocked on the door, suprsing Shalimar a bit.
"Emma! Oh, sorry you scared me a bit there, "
"Oh, sorry," she walked in to the room, looking around.
"So, this is your room," Shalimnar spread her hands wide, "What do ya think?"
"I like it, it's big. Where's your's. Room, I mean, where's your room?"
"It's down the hall and to the left, next to Adam's." there was a small silence between them.
"Kinda nervous of being here?" Emma nodded, and Shalimar put her hand on Emma's arm.
"Yeah, I was a little nervous at first, but don't worry. Sanctuary is a great place, and Adam will protect us. This is our.well, sanctuary." Emma smiled, warming up to the feral quickley.
--------------------------- It was nightfall now at Sanctuary, and the lights in the little haven brought deep shadows. It was al quiet, and restfull. Shalimar was meditating, Adam was getting Emma's health stats in the lab, and Jessi and Brennan had bonded, and gone to a local club for some drinks. Suddenley, the back door banged open, startling Shalimar out of her meditaion. Bumps and grunts were heard coming from the other room. Shalimar untangeled herself from her position in one smooth motion, and went to investigate. In the next half-darkened room, Brennan was holding on to a stumbling Jessi.
"On my god! Brennan! What happened to Jessi?!" Shalimar asked worridley as she ran up to them.
"Well, I think Jessi here has had one to many Sexes on the Beaches." Brennan chuckled,
"Ugh, Jessi!" Shalimar shook her, "Come on, we better get him into his room, and." She took a whiff of his clothes, "Did he spill rum on his clothes or something?" The two took the drunken team member up stairs and into his room. Brennan and Shalimar droppped him on the bed, and Brennan looked at him, amused and worried.
"Think he'll be okay?" he asked Shalimar,
"Yeah, I can handle it from here," she started pulling off his boots,
"Ookay, " Brennan finished and walked out of the room and down the stairs.
"Shaaalimar." Jessi slurred her name,
"Jessi, what were you thinking?" Shalimar chided him,
"Why doyou kike Adammm soo, soo, so much..?"
"Oh my god, is this what this is about?" Shalimar started taking off his alchohal-stained shirt, and threw it in the hamper by the closet, then sat on the edge of his bed with a towel,
"Shalimar.you're sooo beautifull, " Jessi slurred, pulling her towards him,
"Jessi." Shalimar protested. Jessi didn't respond, but instead, grabbed her hair and pulled Shalimar even closer to him, until their lips met. She started to protest, but then let her self to melt into the kiss. The taste of him and the alcohal was inoxicatin, and she couldn't resist. * Oooh, bad Shalimar, bad,* Shalimar thought to herself. Finally Jessi let her go, and she sprawled next to him, her face flushed. (AN: Hey, it was a passionate kiss, ok? Give me a break.) Jessi wrapped one drunken hand around Shalimar, who was becoming sleepy from the smell of alchohal, and she thought this one thought: * Maybe he won't remember this in the morning, * before both of them drifted away to sleep. I don't want to say I'm sorry..
Cause I know there's nothing wrong,
Hold me in your arms,
And never let me go,
Hold me in your arms,
Cause I need you so,
I can feel it in your eyes,
There is something,
Something you wanna tell me,
I can feel it in your eyes,
There is something,
Something you wanna tell me.

In the future, relationships will die and blossom again, but those are left to the producers of the show and the my fellow writers. For now this story is finished. -------------------------------- It's done, it's done, it's done, it's done!!!! That's the end of this folks!
