Chapter 4

Adam stood in the med lab watching closely the stats of Jesse's health, he looked at Jesse, and Jesse lay there on the cold bed fighting for his life, fighting to save his life. Adam snapped out of his thought when he heard footsteps from outside. Adam walked outside to see Shalimar and Brennan walking towards them with Emma in Brennan's arms. Adam jogged to Brennan "What happened? Is she okay?" Adam asked as he looked at Emma. Shalimar looked at Adam "She's fine" she smirked. Brennan grinned at Adam's expense "She kicked Ashlock's ass" and Shalimar and Brennan walked away leaving Adam with a confused look on his face.

Brennan and Shal walked into the Med lab and lay Emma on the bed next to Jesse and turned around when Adam came in. "Adam, you might just want to check her over just incise" Adam still stood there confused "Wait, what do you mean by "She kicked his ass"?" Brennan smirked "She kicked Ashlock's ass, Emma sent Ashlock unconscious while she was still conscious" Shalimar stepped and towards Emma as she lay on the table "The weird thing is, she had a lot more powers than usual Adam, I don't think she's telling us everything" Adam looked at Emma "It's possible, Telempaths are one of the type of mutants that I have the least knowledge of. They're still a mystery" Adam looked at Emma "Well, she looks fine, she has a couple gashes here and there, as well as bruises, she looks fine. But I'll give her a check up anyways" Brennan nodded and walked out, Shalimar took a glance at Jesse and said in her thoughts 'Pull through Jesse, please.' and she walked out while Adam worked on Emma while watching Jesse.

~Later~

Emma lay there in her nice comfy bed all cocooned in her blankets. She opened up her eyes to see the sun shining through the doors that lead to her balcony. Emma sat up and wiped her eyes of the drowsiness, she stood up and stretched, all her muscles were tight and sore. Suddenly she remembered, her battle of Ashlock, the images rushed through her head. She was amazed at what she had done, but she was confused, was it a good thing, or a bad thing about what she did. She shook it off, her stomach growled. "God I must be hungry" Emma walked out of her room and walked up the stairs towards the kitchen, she pushed open the door to see Shalimar grabbing some coffee while Brennan appeared to be on another food binge reading the newspaper. When she walked both Shalimar and Brennan looked at her. It was quiet, and awkward. Then Brennan spoke "Well, Good morning sleepy head, get some sleep?" Emma smiled "Yeah, it was nice" Shalimar turned around "Hey Em, would you like anything?" Emma sat down at the table next to Brennan "Coffee and a bagel please" Shalimar grabbed Emma's breakfast and sat down and lay her breakfast in front of her "Thanks" Emma said as she smiled. "Wow, you must have been drained, you've been out for at least a half a day" Emma nodded. Emma took a drink of her coffee and got up quickly "I'll be right back guys" Emma ran out of the kitchen towards the Med Lab she ran through the doors she quickly ran to where Jesse still laid but before she quickly said a quick "Hi Adam" Adam turned around to see Emma sitting beside Jesse holding his hand once again as he laid there still continuing the fight. "Hello Emma, how are you feeling?" Emma looked at Adam "I'm pretty good, how's Jesse?" Adam looked at Jesse's stats on the computer "He's doing fine, he's been stable. I think he'll pull through"

Emma's face brightened up at the news Jesse and continued to hold his hand. She got up and kissed Jesse on the forehead and ran up back to the kitchen and hugged Shalimar, then Brennan and sat down back at the table to finish her coffee and bagel. Shalimar and Brennan just looked at her with confusion "What was that for Em?" he asked with confusion. Emma looked up "I'm so sorry about what I did to you, I really am" Shalimar pulled up a chair next to her and grabbed Emma's hand "It's okay Emma, we really didn't know you had it in you, you surprised us all. But we're just glad your okay" Emma smiled at the remark. Emma looked out the window to see the sun slowly starting to set "Whoa, what time is it?" Emma asked, "It's 9:57" Brennan said after taking a look at his watch. "Wow, I have been out a while" Emma quickly finished the last bit of her bagel and stood up "Hey guys, I'll see you in a while" Emma said quickly and dashed out the door while Brennan and Shalimar looked once again in confusion. "Wow, that's one odd woman" Brennan said with a smirk, Shal smacked Brennan upside the head "Hey, what was that for?" Shalimar just smiled and laughed.

Emma ran down to the lab. "Hey Adam, go get some sleep, I'll watch Jesse, I'll contact you if something happens" Adam looked "Are you sure Emma? Do you feel up to it?" Adam asked putting his hand on her shoulder "Adam, I'm fine, now go get some sleep" Adam nodded and walked out of the lab, Emma grasped Jesse's hand, she lay her head lightly on his chest, she just laid there and looked at Jesse, but her eyes soon got heavy, and heavier until she fell asleep peacefully.

~A little while later~

Emma still laid her head on Jesse's hand still grasping her hand while she was asleep, her eyes slowly opened and yawned and stretched as she still held Jesse's hand. Emma smiled at Jesse gently brushing her hand over her head. She continued to brush his head until she felt something; she looked at her hand that was holding Jesse's hand. She continued to watch, Jesse's hand tightened the grip that held his and Emma's hands together. Emma's eyes filled with tears as she said quietly "Jesse"
