Emma's screams pierced through Sanctuary in such a way that Jesse tore from his hiding place, desperate to get to the lab and stop whatever was happening to her, his ideas of caution and waiting to make his move thrown to the wind, he probable wouldn't have been able to wait much longer anyway.
Phasing, his body's mass reduced itself as he leapt from the area overlooking the main parts of Sanctuary, connecting with the ground as his body returned to its usual state, he took a blow from behind and was sent sprawling along the ground.
Turning he flipped back to his feet and gasped for breath as two teenage legs sunk into his stomach, forcing him to double up and into a knee, blood spraying from his nose in an arc, it almost felt like slow motion for him as he flew back and once more collided with the ground.
Wincing as he tried to rise he watched as the teenage shot up into the air and down onto him, forcing him back to the ground with a loud thump as his head impacted and she flew down onto his body to keep him from rising. "Stay down" she snarled with flashing eyes.
Gritting his teeth Jesse let out a low growl of no and massed, shoving the girl off of him with enough force that she slammed back into something with a very audible sound before slumping to the floor with a groan.
His body was just beginning to unmass when thermal energy struck his chest, lucky that part of him was still massed and he was simply knocked back, taking up a fighting stance he prepared himself for the six foot teenage boy who was now blocking his path.
*****
Emma's screams were like a sirens song to Jenna's ears, but even more so was the anguish on Adam's face. The chills of satisfaction that raced through her felt even better then she had imagined they would, his pain was like an addiction.
She wondered whether Emma's pain hurt him more then pain caused to his own body, she intended to find out eventually, but for now the mere fact that he was anguished was enough.
"Damon, amp up Adam's little toy"
She watched as her telecyber's eyes crusted over in a blue wave and a sort of biological computer technology grew from and around them, it was way wicked in her opinion, but then she didn't look half bad herself when using her abilities either.
The stream of yellow light coming from the device on the ceiling intensified and Emma's screams rose to a whole new level, parts of her body were being heated, slowly, bit by bit.
An idea came to mind and a cruel smile spawned across her face, cocking her head to the side she said "Turn those sensors on, I want to know which of her organs fails first" A sharp noise of Adam's restraints and she turned back to face him "You don't want to know? I thought you were a scientist, don't scientists want to know everything?"
"Hmmmmmm. Something else I'd really like to know, is where the other boy is. I mean if he's in this facility, this Sanctuary, he must be able to hear little Emma's screams. Is he just a coward? Did he run off as soon as me and mine showed up? It figures cowards would be who you associate with. Weak cowards that will just do as you bid"
"Maybe we should bring those two around" She said with a nod towards the still unconscious Brennan and Shalimar, "Maybe they'd like to take a bet on which organ will go first? I personally think it'll be the heart, but then, what would I know?" With another smile and raised eyebrows she continued with "I failed biology and all that stuff about human anatomy, never even graduated high school. Just one more thing to lay at your feet Adam".
Swinging around to run a hand along Emma's arm she was almost shocked by just how hot her skin was, she could feel waves of it coming off of her and for a brief moment she was worried and it showed, hardening her features. What if she dies too soon? Adam had to pay all that he owed, and if Emma died too soon Jenna wouldn't be able to extract all that pain she could be able to bring to Adam.
"Reverse the machine Damon, cool her down slowly, very slowly"
Turning back in Adam's direction she wished that she had a telepath or an empath or whatever it was called at her disposal so that she could have everything Emma felt projected into his mind.
Walking past him she crouched between Shalimar and Brennan and let a sigh escape her as she ran a hand down his cheek, he really was quite cute. It was a pity that he too would be going towards the cause of justice. The only one to be spared would be the only one she and hers didn't have, perhaps a fortunate thing as the fate she had planned for him was far worse then even that of Adam's.
Eventually he would still enjoy it though, he would enjoy it and she would be there to stand witness. For herself, for her mother and for everyone else that was effected because of him.
With a small shake of her head, hair flinging about, she let her eyes glaze over with the inner depths of her soul. Let the chill at the core of herself be shown to the world.
"What am I doing" she said, addressing herself to Adam "Occupying myself with other thoughts at a time like this, I'm being a terrible host-" She would have said.or done.more, but something that sounded very much like human flesh slammed into one of the outside walls of the Lab hard enough to knock a few things from one of the benches.
Looks like the runner had turned up after all.
*****
The purity of the hatred, the malevolence of it all tore through her. She couldn't shut it no matter how hard she tried. It was just being broadcast with such a rage it was almost incapacitating.
Then it was gone and Emma felt something that scared her in a way that heated hatred couldn't, she felt the cold depths of the reality that they were dealing with.
And it chilled her. The girls soul was pure ice.
With her brief respite from the heat, as her body was cooling she knew it wouldn't be long until the blessed coolness would start to turn to hypothermia, she gathered herself and sent a psionic wake up call to her two team mates. Both of them jerking to consciousness in the same moment, almost as if it was preordained Jesse came phasing through the wall.
Hair swinging as she turned, jacket flying around behind her in a slow motion way, a smile appearing in full bloom along her face. She was smiling at Jesse, as if she knew something about him that the rest of them didn't.
Something that gave her power over him and Emma only knew it an instant before anyone else, an instant long enough to let out an almost breathed "Oh god". Because not only could she see the truth, but she could see what Jenna was going to do.
The room froze with Jenna's next words, shock holding them all, even the telecyber and telekinetic to the extent that the beam cut off and Emma fell to the ground.

AUTHORS NOTE: These Authors notes are fun! But um, really. I planned this little interesting piece for Jesse mainly. Adam was just a beginning for little old Jenna, any guesses what Jenna is going to say to Jesse?
And to the 'sick' reviewer who wants to see Emma tortured *G* I'll see what I can do!
