Chapter 9
Jesse still did not wake up yet, and Emma was growing curious about the dream he was having. Why was he not coming back to her? *Jesse please wake up.* Its been twelve hours since Emma woke up for the last time, and Jesse didn't wake up once yet; she was beginning to fear the worst.
The cave
Warm rays of light shined through the cave. Brennan woke up, feeling much warmer than he had been before he fell asleep. Shalimar was snuggled up next to him, and his arms were wrapped around her waist. While he was trying to figure out how they ended up like that, Shalimar woke up.
She looked into Brennan's eyes trying to figure out what he was thinking. Just seeing him inches away from her face, made her heart beat rapidly. "Brennan, what happened?"
Not letting go of her just yet, he replied, "It got really cold last night, and I thought body heat would be the best thing for us." *Why did I just say that? That sounded stupid. Shal, I just want you close to me.*
"I think we should get back," Shalimar tried to pull away, but Brennan refused to let her go. She looked at him again, "Brennan, what do you think you are doing?"
"This…" he leaned in to kiss her and she let him. After a few minutes, Shalimar pulled away.
"Brennan, we have to see how the others are doing. But maybe we could continue this later tonight?"
Brennan grinned, "Fine let's go back." He helped her pack up the duffel bag and then grabbed the basket. Together they left the cave and headed back towards Sanctuary.
Genomex
Eckhart was not pleased; his perfect plan had blown up one of his own agents. Maybe if one or even two were by themselves be could send enough agents to overpower them. "Attention, whoever sees any member of Mutant X, contact me immediately. And whoever manages to capture one will get a promotion." *After I deal with Mutant X, I will get rid of Ashlock.*
Sanctuary
Emma looked at the machine that was connected to him; it indicated that he was fine. Adam hadn't come back yet, and neither did Brennan or Shalimar. *What if something happened to them and Jesse doesn't wake up? I hope the GSA didn't capture them.*
"Emma?" Jesse quickly sat up, "did it work?"
"I think so," Emma let go of his hand and gave him a big hug. "I'm so glad you're awake."
Jesse hugged her back, for some reason, he knew that she was worried that he would never wake up. "Want to eat something?"
"Yeah. I'm starved." She helped him off of the table and they walked into the kitchen.
"Where's Adam?"
"He went to check on the safehouses last night. He didn't come back yet," she frowned.
"Are Bren and Shal here?"
She sighed, "they're not back yet either."
"So we're alone?"
Emma smiled, she knew what he was thinking, "Yup."
Jesse opened the fridge and took out a box of pizza. They ate the leftover pizza and threw the box away.
"So what do we do now?"
"How about this," Emma leaned in and gave him a kiss.
"Yeah, that's a good idea." He kissed her back, deeply. His hands were on her back, pushing her into him. Her arms were draped around his neck, and they continued to kiss. Jesse could feel that Emma wanted him, but he didn't know how that was possible. Her love for him was strong, and he felt her worries disappear.
The entire room seemed to dissolve as Emma felt herself get lost in Jesse's kisses. Their kiss became more passionate, and they didn't notice two people enter the kitchen.
Brennan and Shalimar stood in shock at their two younger teammates. Shalimar giggled and said, "Get a room!"
Hearing a voice in the room, made Jesse and Emma quickly release each other. They both began to blush. Emma tried to compose herself and she said, "We didn't hear you come in."
Shalimar smiled, "We can see why."
"Should we leave you two alone?"
Feeling Emma's uneasiness Jesse replied, "And just what were you two doing all last night? You were only supposed to be having lunch."
Emma looked at Jesse. *How could be know that? He was unconscious the whole time?*
Now it was Brennan and Shalimar's turn to blush. "Oh never mind, this could go on forever. I'm going to go take a shower." Shalimar left the others as she ran down the hall.
Brennan headed for the fridge he was hungry. He hoped there was something good for breakfast.
Emma was upset; they always managed to interrupt her and Jesse. *Maybe we should lock them out of Sanctuary for a few hours.* Emma smiled at her thought.
"I know," Jesse agreed.
"Know what," Emma asked.
"Oh…uh nothing," Jesse realized that he heard what she thought. *I have to talk to Adam when he gets back. Why am I able to feel and hear what Emma's thinking?* "Does anybody know when Adam's coming back?"
Brennan was munching away, and Emma shook her head. Worry began to fill her soul, and Jesse gave her a hug. "Don't worry Em, let's try to contact him. I'm sure he's alright."
Letting go of her, he began to talk into his ring, "Adam are you there?" All three of them noted the silence that was on the other end.
"Why don't we just trace the comm link?"
"Good idea Brennan. Let's go."
The three entered the lab, only to find Shalimar was there first. She had already showered and changed, and now she was trying to figure out how to trace the comm link. Hearing their footsteps, she looked up. "Hey guys."
Jesse walked over to where Shalimar was and sat down. "Let me do this." Taking over the keyboard he punched in a few things and sat back. "It'll only be a minute."
They all watched as the computer beeped as it found the location of Adams whereabouts.
"That can't be right."
"But it is Brennan."
"We have to get him out of there."
Emma couldn't bring herself to say anything. *My stupid powers. If they didn't mutate again, I wouldn't have this dumb dream power. My powers always causes harm to me, and the ones that I love. First Jesse almost fell into a coma and now Adam is being held at Genomex. Things would be so much easier if I was normal.*
"Emma it's not your fault. I put myself into danger to help you, and there is no way that Adam being captured by Genomex is all your fault either."
"How'd you know what I was thinking?"
"I'm not sure, but since I woke up I've been able to hear and feel what you're thinking."
"You guys can ask Adam about that later. But first we gotta rescue him."
"Shal's right. We're going to have to sneak into Genomex, and save Adam."
The four of them began to form a plan. After several hours of planning, they agreed on the best way. Together they headed off towards the hanger. They would not fail; Adam would come back with them. Or else Eckhart would die.
A/N: Stay tuned to see if their plan will work. Is Adam already dead? And what does Gabriel have in store for the girls? Read, review (please!!!) and enjoy!
