~Chapter Four~
Emma cried out and clutched her head with shaking hands. The flash was so strong, so vivid that it obscured her vision and weakened her knees. She crumpled to the floor. Brennen and Shalimar, hearing her shout, leapt of the couch where they had been quietly chatting and ran over. Brennen picked up her limp form and carried her over to the couch. She shook her head clear and took a deep breath.
"What the hell just happened?!" Brennen asked, crouching in front of her.
"Nothing…" she mumbled, and then suddenly remembered. "Oh God! I had a vision of Jesse…something's wrong with him!" Shalimar sat next to her on the couch and rubbed her shoulder.
"Are you sure? Last I checked he was safe and sound in the lab with Tina…" But Emma brushed her hand away and stood up defiantly.
"No!" she said "I know there's something wrong!" she began to pace the floor behind the couch Brennen and Shal watching her closely. "It was like he was imprisoned or something…he was laying on the floor…and he was tied up and gagged…" she spun and looked at the two sitting on the couch in utter panic "Oh God! We have to help him!" Shalimar was beginning to get nervous. Emma was never wrong about these things. She looked at Brennen with wide eyes. He looked back at her, the same thought crossing his mind. He spoke into his com-link,
"Jess? Hey Jesse, you there?"
No reply.
Shalimar stood up quickly and jogged over to the computer console. She pulled up the all of the security camera footage of sanctuary, and then enlarged the box that showed the lab. It was empty.
"He's not in the lab! Neither of them is!" Suddenly she noticed movement coming from the box showing the garage. She enlarged and saw Jesse and Tina getting into one of the cars. "Wait…he's going somewhere with Tina…what the hell is going on!"
"I'll tell you what's going on." They all turned to face Adam. " I've just discovered what Tina's powers are…" he walked over and set a set of papers in front of Shalimar. Emma and Brennen crowded around while Adam continued. "She has the power of mind control. If you look her in the eyes she can take over our mind and make you do whatever she wants you to do." The three remaining members of Mutant X looked at each other, the same thought blaring in their heads: Jesse "and," Adam went on "If she concentrates hard enough, she can shut your brain down completely-killing you." Emma gasped and Shalimar folded her hands into fists, her face a mask of fury. Brennen, looking equally as angry said,
"So, this is what she did to Jesse?" Adam sadly nodded his head.
"Yes, and this is all my fault. If only I hadn't under-estimated her powers…"
"No Adam," Emma said, her eyes flashing. "This is no one's fault but Tina's." Shalimar nodded her agreement,
"And believe me, she is going to pay!"
