Everyone looked at the man before them, the one that betrayed their trust
and tried to kill a person a part of their family. No one will let that
ever happen again.
Adam looked at his team, the one he created from scratch to what it was today. He looked at each one till he realized something that didn't belong "Emma? Wait, how?"
"Jesse, Lexa, Get Emma out of here now!" Shalimar yelled.
"But Shalimar-"
"GO!" Shalimar yelled as she cut off Lexa.
Jesse immediately turned around and put his hand to the wall and phased it so himself and his friends could move through. Emma moved first followed by Lexa than Jesse himself. Jesse immediately grabbed Emma's hand and raced to the garage with Lexa close behind. Emma got into the passenger seat as Lexa got in the back of the Audi. Jesse jumped into the front and sped out of Sanctuary without a second thought.
Adam was still stunned, he looked like he had seen a ghost, in his mind he did. "Emma.how? I thought she was dead."
Shalimar's eyes immediately shifted to gold "You son of a bitch! How could you!" she yelled as she pounced but Brennan caught her and restrained her just as she leapt.
"Shal, just a second, let him explain and than you can kill him" Brennan smirked at Adam.
Adam grasped the bridge of his nose "You guys don't understand" he spoke with a whisper.
Shalimar glared at Adam "We don't need to understand, you tried to kill our own team mate, a member of our family, that's all we need to know" she hissed.
Adam looked up at them "Emma's keeping secrets" he said gently.
"What are you talking about?" Brennan growled.
"From the last scan I did on Emma, they're was something that seemed odd. But I believe Emma isn't telling us everything about her powers, I think she's a lot stronger than any of us can think of" Adam spoke as he leaned against the wall. "Emma is the strongest out of the 4 of you, well now I presume 5 since Lexa is here. But I can't be so sure of how exactly powerful Emma is, Telempaths are one of the rarest and unknown mutants."
"So what, that still doesn't explain why you tried to kill her." Shalimar shot back.
Adam stood up. "You may have noticed that these past few month that Emma has been quite distant and dark. Emma could very well be the next-"
"Ashlock" Shalimar cut Adam off. "Adam, what the hell are you talking about? Emma will never be like Ashlock. If you actually talked to her one on one, she is afraid of becoming like Ashlock. So what you're saying is that you tried to kill her because you're afraid she's going to become another ashlock?"
Adam slowly nodded. "I can't believ-" Adam cut off Shalimar "Shalimar, you don't understand, if Emma were to ever turn evil or lose control of her powers, there is no way we could stop her, she is too strong. Emma could very well kill us in our sleep. Emma is-" "I don't care Adam, Emma is our friend, I know she would never turn on us, all you have said is possibilities. The only one who has betrayed us, is you Adam." Shalimar shot back.

The car was silent as they drove through town. Emma hadn't moved at all ever since she got in the car, she just sat there staring out the window, watching all the street lights flash by overshadowing her face. She sat in silence, letting all the recent events sink in. She would have never thought that Adam would come back, but now that he was back, he's probably back to finish what he started.
Lexa shuffled in the backseat "Jesse, where are we going?"
Jesse stared out the windshield "To a motel I guess, I have no idea where else to go"
Lexa shrugged and slowly moved up to look at Emma, she gently laid her hand on her shoulder causing Emma to jump. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I was just wondering how you're doing?" Lexa asked sincerely.
"I'm fine" Emma said quietly.
Jesse looked over at Emma, his heart retched to see her in pain, he wanted to hold her and shield her from it all. He had to protect her, no matter the cost, even if it means to lose his own life for her to be safe.
Jesse lightly laid his hand on Emma's and squeezed it gently. "It's okay, don't worry. We're going to get through this, trust me."
Emma looked up and saw the sincerity in his eyes. "I just don't know Jess" she whispered.
Jesse entwined his fingers within hers "Trust me" he whispered.
