[Two weeks later]

Adam had managed to stop the virus from spreading and Shalimar hadn't had another seizure since but getting her elemental abilities under control was proving to be tiring and frustrating. She and Brennan were working out in the dojo while Emma and Alex watched.

Shal swept Brennan's legs out from under him and he hit the floor with a loud thud. Alex laughed and clapped his hands for his mother.

"Hey does anyone here root for me?" said Brennan from the floor looking at his laughing son.

Shalimar looked from her son to her husband "he just knows who's going to win" she replied smiling helping Brennan to his feet

"You don't win all the time"

"Yeah but those are times I let you win" she replied wiggling her eyebrows

"Easy children" interjected Emma who bounced Alex on her knee

They laughed. Brennan turned to Shal, "another round?" he asked

"You are a glutton for punishment aren't you?" she asked smiling. He didn't reply he merely took his fighting stance and waited for her to do the same "Ok" she added lashing out at him with a kick that he dodged.

This match was more intense than the last one and both opponents were getting frustrated. Shalimar flashed her eyes feral at Brennan and was about to throw a punch when she screamed out in pain and a bolt of electricity flew from her hand narrowly missing Brennan

Quickly rolling out of the way Brennan looked at Shalimar who was obviously in pain and trying to hard to control herself "Shal are you ok?"

She didn't answer him, she looked over at Emma, "Emma help me...the pain" she said falling to her knees

Emma understood what Shalimar wanted her to do. She put Alex down and sent a psychic blast at her, knocking her unconscious. What Emma wasn't ready for was Alex's interpretation of her actions towards his mother. When she turned to pick him up, he flashed his feral eyes at her, "Brennan" nervously she called not moving a muscle

Brennan looked up from his position next to Shalimar, "Alex it is ok, Aunt Emma was just helping mommy" he said softly trying to calm his son down

But Alex didn't back down

Shalimar opened his eyes and took in the situation, especially her son's yellow eyes and Emma's position. She could hear Brennan trying to calm him down which wasn't working. "Alex" she said lifting her head from the floor and flashing her eyes at him

Hearing his mother's voice he looked at her. Seeing her yellow eyes flashing at him his eyes immediately went back to brown. Remaining silent he walked over to Emma and took her hand in his to signal his apology.

Emma release a breathe she didn't realize she had been holding and smiled at the young boy to signal her acceptance. "Are you ok?" she asked Shalimar

"Yeah thanks" she replied getting up off the floor

"Shal take it easy" Brennan said trying to steady her

Just then Adam and Jesse walked in. Taking in the situation Adam asked "is everything ok?"

Emma was the first to answer "Shalimar and Brennan were sparring when her elemental powers decided to make an appearance"

"Is everyone ok?" asked Jesse moving to Emma side to make sure she was ok for himself

Sensing his concern Emma replied, "We're all fine. Although I did almost get taken apart by a one year old" light heartedly she added looking down at Alex

"What do you mean?" asked Adam

"I was in pain and asked Emma to help, so she sent a psychic blast me. Alex didn't understand and he went feral" explained Shalimar as she and Brennan moved down the steps

"Wow how did you get him to stop?" asked Jesse

"Shal did. She just flashed her eyes at him and he backed down" replied Brennan still amazed

"Well that is how ferals communicate with each other. Shalimar flashing her eyes at Alex let him know that she was ok while at the same time telling him to back down" explained Adam. "How are you feeling now Shalimar?"

"Fine now but I can still feel the residual energy" she replied lifting her hand allowing the electricity to crackle a little bit

"What were you doing when you lost control?"

"We were sparing but as soon as she flashed her eyes at me all hell broke loose" replied Brennan

"Were you in any pain?" Adam asked

"Yeah a lot" she replied

"Well your body still needs to adjust to this new mutation and you need to remember that going feral will initiate your elemental powers"

"How come it doesn't happen with Alex?" Emma asked

"Well his feral side is more pronounced than his elemental and his subconscious is aware of his powers so it is possible he can control them. Whereas with Shalimar both of her mutations are equal in strength so they fight for dominance which causes her pain"

"Can't you do anything to make one more dominant than the other?" asked Jesse

"I'm still working on it. My first goal was to slow the genes down, since I've done that I am trying to, as Jesse said, make your feral side dominant again"

"Let me guess I need to take it easy until then?" Shalimar asked

Adam nodded, "Right. But right now I need Jesse and Emma to go to safe house five and give those there their new identities" he said looking from Emma to Jesse

"So you ready to go?" asked Jesse excited at the chance to spend some time alone with Emma

"Yep, we'll see you guys later" she said waving the others as they made their way towards the garage.

Alex waved his hand at them "Bye" he said watching them leave. At the sound of his voice Emma and Jesse turned around and waved back
