"Hey," piped up Brennan smiling as Adam disconnected the phone call, "you
turning girls down for me?" he asked in mock anger and then seeing the
looks on Mia, Emma & Shalimar's faces he just laughed. "Kidding! I've got
all the girls I need right here." He said hugging all three of them
somehow. "So your friends are visiting huh?" asked Emma sensing a sort of
homesickness from Mia. What she didn't know was that Mia wasn't really
homesick just wanted to be as far from here, not because of Brennan hugging
her but the dream was still scaring her. "Yea, its holidays over there so
then can afford to come plus only some of the teachers like me so the
others probably stay behind and look after the students that are saying for
the summer." Explained Mia inwardly screaming that she wished they were
here now and not just in a few days. Shalimar smiled and thought of what
school was like, "and why don't all the teachers like you?" and held back
the laughter. "Well some think I'm too much of a smart alec and also they
fact I get to keep my young looks longer then they do." Mia said hoping
they wouldn't think of her sounding like a little bitch as many did when
she explained it this way.
Many people thought she was exaggerating but she wasn't and she knew it. On the contrary her explanation caused them to laugh. Mia then wrote the information Adam needed retaining to the blackbird system so he could tell when Prof Xavier and the others were arriving on the paper he handed her. As the group left Adam to his computers Shalimar and Brennan walked towards the Dojo while Emma went with Mia to the lounge. They walked slowly as they didn't really have anything else to do. "Are you looking forward to your friends coming?" She asked Mia hoping to get her to talk more about everything. "Yea I am. They're kind of like family to me. I only hope if I go back with them Brennan won't be upset." As Mia said this she winced inwardly hoping she didn't offend Emma by suggesting she would want to go back. "Yea, but Brennan does have to understand you may look young but your as old us." Emma said and they both sat in lounges. She hesitated knowing how Mia had reacted to begin with but asked, "How did you get there? Did your adoptive parents send you there?" Mia knew Emma was going to ask that even before she said it.
That was one of the problems being telepathic, but there was also the advantage of getting to work out the answer. "Actually my adoptive parents only wanted me because I was powerful. Once they realized they couldn't control me they just didn't want me anymore so they didn't care when I left. About a year later a government science group." Mia stopped and took a deep breath. Only one person knew what it was like there for her and it was only because he had been though it too. "Logan had been taken by them earlier and he had gotten out. They somehow sedated me and kept me in this white room and too this day I hate it. They did allsorts of experiments on me. More then they ever did to Logan as I have so many different powers. To get out I did so many things I'm ashamed of." Mia admitted tears welling up in her eyes. She knew that Emma could sense her shame and sadness as she had let down her mental barrier. "Don't worry its over you don't have to go back. Never, none of us will ever let that happen." Said Emma comfortingly. She felt a pang of sadness when she realized that even though Mia was a natural mutant she was still as hunted as they were if not more. "I'm sorry," said Mia as she wiped her tears away from her cheeks as she began to cry with a shaking hand. "Why, you should cry its good for you." Said Emma, "I just feel so stupid crying." Admitted Mia feeling even more stupid for saying so. "You are definitely not stupid." Emma said to her smiling which caused them bother to laugh. Emma and Mia spent the rest of the afternoon talking about more cheerful subjects such as good things that have happened to them and not just the sad.
That night Shalimar, Emma and Brennan went out night clubbing. They asked Mia to come but she said she wasn't up to it as she was tired from the day. She wasn't really she just needed some time to think about things. She started to read a book as she lay back on her bed but instead she slowly drifted to sleep. She dreamt of Jesse just as she had the night before only in a different situation. This time she was sitting in the eating area slowly picking at the bowl of ice cream in front of her when Jesse came in and look deflated when he saw what she was eating. "Let me guess it's the last of it?" when she nodded he shook its head, "always happens to me oh well what else is there?" he said as he looked in the fridge. "You can have this. I'm not really eating it I just can't sleep." Said Mia and offered Jesse the ice cream, which he took gratefully. They talked for a few minutes while Jesse ate and when he was down to the last spoonful he offered it to Mia who he spoon-fed it and just as he took the spoon he kissed her passionately until they both needed to come up for breath.
They both stumbled back to Mia's room as neither of then seemed to want to let go of the other. Mia laid down on the bed and Jesse on top of her then began making love slowly as Mia ran her hands up and down Jesse memorizing everything about Jesse's body and skin. It felt exhilarating having someone so close her and the touch of her skin against his. When they reached their climax Mia woke up breathing hard and very hot. Looking at her clock she saw it was only 1am. She knew she wouldn't be able to get back to sleep and didn't want to just stay there as she would just think about what she had just seen for the second time. So she dressed quietly and walked out to the kitchen. She poured herself a glass of milk, which she took out to the lounge room. Even though she had left her room to get her mind of the dreams she couldn't think of anything but the dreams as she slowly sipped her milk while thinking. Jesse woke up with a start at the exact time Mia had from the dream. He also took a shower and walked around the place just trying to get a clear head 'what is wrong with me.' He thought to himself shaking his head. He walked into the lounge silently and stopped surprised at seeing Mia also there "looks like I'm not the only one not sleeping." He said quietly laughing thinking about what to do.
