Chapter 5
Jesse walked into the lab looking for Roselyn. Something that she had said when he met her was bugging him. The thought that she could go through time.
He was willing to ask her to send him back to the day Emma died. If he could only stop that from happening he would be happy again. He would do anything to get her back.
Looking at around he didn't find Roselyn.
Adam saw Jesse and turned to face him. "What are you looking for?"
"Have you seen Roselyn? I have to ask her something." Said Jesse.
"She's in her room. She should be asleep." Replied Adam.
Jesse walked away and headed for Roselyn's room.
He lightly knocked on the door. "Roselyn?"
Through the door he hears her soft answer. "Yeah?"
"Can I come in?" Asked Jesse.
"Sure. The door is open."
Jesse walked in and sat on the chair by her bed. "I wanted to ask you for a favor. You might want to say no but just hear me out and then you can decide."
Roselyn looked at him confused. "Okay. What is it?"
Jesse took a deep breath. "You might not know this but there used to be another person in this team. Her name was Emma. She died a few weeks ago in an accident. We... Uh.. She and I were in love and well.... I was wondering if you could send me back to a couple of weeks to stop that from happening."
Hearing what he was requesting Roselyn looked up at him.
Jesse sighed audibly. "If you do this it could help not only me but also everyone else. Especially Brennan."
"Brennan?" Asked Roselyn confused.
"Yes. Brennan feels guilty for what happened to her. He believes that he caused her death. He doesn't understand that it was an accident."
"What happened?" Asked Roselyn.
Jesse breathed in deeply and said, "He electrocuted her."
"Oh my god." Whispered Roselyn.
"Would you help me?" Asked Jesse hoping that she would say yes.
"Of course but you might have to wait a while. I don't think I could really go anywhere like this. Maybe in a few days." Said Roselyn.
"Thanks." Jesse smiled and stood up. "You won't regret this."
********************************
Roselyn trying to sleep on her bed in Sanctuary. Her thoughts were making it practically impossible to do so. 'Why did I have to say yes...? I've only done this once before...? What if something goes wrong...?'
She turned over on her side and covered herself up. A soft moan escaped her lips when she touched her wound.
Turning back to face the roof she sighed. 'I can't believe this. How am I supposed to stay put? I need to move.'
She reached for the remote control next to the bed and turned the TV on. Flipping through the channels she found a show about lions and their living habitat.
She stopped the TV there and remained in bed watching TV.
******************************
The lights were off in Jesse's room. He was asleep in bed wearing nothing but his navy blue silk boxers.
He had a small smile on his face as he dreamt.
He once again captured her lips and kissed her gently. Moving his hands to the back of her dress he untied it and she dropped it off her shoulders.
Bringing his lips to her neck he kissed her...
Emma moaned her approval and brought her hands around his neck. She pulled him closer to her and started moving her hands down his chest.
When she reached the last button on his shirt she started undoing them. Slowly every time a new button got released she would trace his chest with kisses.
Unable to take it anymore Jesse pulled off his shirt and threw it on the floor.
Emma gave a sweet laugh. "Impatient are we?"
Jesse looked at her and got a mischievous grin on his face. "You have no idea."
"Show me." Said Emma.
Jesse walked up to her and brought her to him. His lips once again claiming hers as his. He moved backwards until Emma's knees came in contact with the bed.
Emma smiled at him and brought her hands to his pants. She unzipped them and soon he was in only his black boxers.
Both in their underwear they moved on the bed. Emma was the first to remove her clothing and Jesse soon followed.
Both lay on the bed naked. The slight lighting coming from the lamp at the end of the room. Jesse came into her and she gasped in pleasure.
He gently yet quickly moved inside of her until they both came. Sleep claimed them quickly.
*****************************
Roselyn woke up when the sunlight hit her face. In the wall the shadows moved around as if on their own.
Outside she could hear the birds starting to sing and the beginning of a beautiful day.
She ran her hands through her hair and sat up in bed.
Moving her shirt collar to the side she realized that her wound was already starting to heal. 'One of the good things of my mutation.'
She got up and took a quick shower.
Searching through the cabinet in her room she found all of her clothes there. 'How on earth did these get here?'
Roselyn quickly found the right outfit; a pair of white Capri and a blood red mid-drift tank top.
She then proceeded to brush her hair and let it hang loosely around her face.
A small smile spread across her face making her seem younger.
She lives the room and closes the door behind her.
Walking through Sanctuary she stops in front of Jesse's room.
"Jesse?" Knocking lightly she waits for an answer.
************************
Jesse was asleep when he heard Roselyn knocking at the door. 'What is she doing up?'
He got up from the bed and opened the door.
Roselyn walked in and closed the door behind her. "Nice boxers."
Jesse looked down at himself and saw that he was still wearing his black boxers.
"I don't think you came in here to talk about my boxers. What is it?" Said Jesse sitting at the edge of the bed.
Roselyn took a sit across the room at his desk and faced him. "I'm ready."
Jesse looked at her confused. "Ready for what?"
"To go back." Said Roselyn.
Jesse got up from the bed and walked up to her. "Are you sure?"
"Yes." A small smile formed on her lips once she saw his excited face.
"Great. I'll take a shower and I'll meet you in your room."
************************
Jesse took a very quick shower. He was so excited to be getting Emma back that he kept on dropping the soap.
Stepping out he dried himself and walked into his room. The morning cold gave him chills as he got dressed.
Stepping out of his room he walked into Roselyn.
"Are you ready?" Asked Roselyn looking at him and walking into her room.
"Yes."
Roselyn creates a vortex in her room and they both walk in.
Looking around he finds himself in an old and run down warehouse.
Emma is in one of the corners and she is surrounded by a group of men.
Brennan is standing in front of her and he is charging an electric blast.
As he prepares to throw the blast one of the men see him and grabs Emma placing her in front of him directly on the line of fire.
Running up to her Jesse masses and before it has the chance to hit Emma he is in front of her, protecting her.
Pushing Emma out of the way he punches two of the guys with a massed fist. He hears the bone snapping and they fall unconscious to the ground.
Brennan quickly electrocutes the remaining two.
Jesse walks up to Emma who has a shocked look on her face.
He pulls her to him and hugs her tightly.
"Jesse?" Said Emma.
"I am so glad you are safe." He said hugging her tighter.
Roselyn was watching all that was going on from a distance. It was so touching how Jesse protected her and how he was now hugging her. She hated to interrupt them but she had to.
"Jesse, we have to go." She said walking up to him.
Jesse looks at Roselyn suddenly worried. "What about Emma?"
"She'll be in Sanctuary when we get back. As far as everyone is concerned this day never happened. She never died, She won't remember anything about this and neither will anyone else. We will be the only ones." Roselyn said looking back to look at Emma.
Jesse follows her trail of vision and sees Brennan hugging Emma.
Turning back to Roselyn he says, "Thanks. I'm ready to go back."
Roselyn creates another vertex and they step inside once again.
Once Jesse steps outside he looks around and finds himself in the hall leading to all the rooms. "Thanks."
Roselyn smiles. "You're welcome."
Instead of walking into his room he walks straight towards Emma's room.
Looking at the bed he finds her asleep peacefully.
He sighs in relief and closes his eyes. "Thank you." He says silently.
Walking out to her he gently shakes her shoulders.
Slowly Emma opens her eyes and finds Jesse's smiling face. "Hey."
"How are you doing?" He asks.
"Great. What are you doing up so early?" Emma gets up from the bed and sits.
"Nothing. I just wanted to see you." He smiled sweetly at her.
Emma laughs and the sound makes his heart beat faster. He missed that sound so much. "You just saw me last night. Don't you remember?"
"Last night?" He asked trying to not sound too confused.
"Yes. Remember, you gave me the cheapest line ever?" She said smiling.
Jesse laughed, feeling happy for the first time in weeks. "Well, if I remember correctly, it worked."
"Yeah, I could never resist that face of yours." She said lying back down in bed and covering her head with the blankets.
"What are you doing?" Asked Jesse smiling.
"I'm still sleepy." She whined.
"Yeah... I'll let you sleep. I'm going to bother Brennan instead."
"Sure Jess... Good luck." Smiled Emma and poked her head out of the covers.
******************************
Walking into the main room Jesse could see Shalimar and Brennan sparing in the dojo. "You're up early Shal."
"Yeah. I couldn't sleep. Roselyn was playing some pretty loud music at 6 in the morning. She is lucky that she is hurt." She blocked another punch from Brennan and kicked him sending him to the ground.
"Looks like she wins... again." Said Jesse laughing.
Brennan throws a small blast Jesse's way and it hits him on the arm. "Ha ha." He said sarcastically.
"Hey... Play nice boys." Said Shalimar walking off. "I'm going to shower."
Brennan complained. "But I still want to fight."
"Sorry Brenn. I'm hungry. Ask Roselyn." Said Jesse disappearing into the kitchen.
"Great. Another feral." Said Brennan.
"I heard that!" Yelled Shalimar.
Brennan simply laughed and went down the stairs to look for Roselyn.
Jesse walked into the lab looking for Roselyn. Something that she had said when he met her was bugging him. The thought that she could go through time.
