A.N.+ Disclaimer: I just watched the pilot episode of 'Fastlane' and I loved it. The first song I heard was 'Get Free' from The Vines. So I don't own that song, obviously The Vines do. It however gave me a great (not to mention quite *slick voice* naughty) idea. Just play it when you're reading the 'dutty' bit, feel the vibe. Coz I'm a vibe-kinda-girl. But... the trouble ain't over 'til the fat lady sings. But there are no fat ladies in Mutant X! Exactly...

Chapter 3: I spy

Brennan came walking up the stairs: "Hey guys, guess... Ohw, hey, so I'm thinkin' you two worked things out then?"

They quickly broke the kiss. "Uh, yeah..." Shalimar smiled and she looked at her new found love "Yeah, we did."

"That's great, really, I'm glad you did."

"What did you want to tell us?" Emma asked.

"Nothing, nothing important anyway. Not as important as this."

Shalimar slipped an arm around Emma's waist. "If there's nothing important you have to tell, can you excuse us?" She smiled and dragged Emma to her room.

"You girls behave now!" Brennan shouted after them. His answer was a loud giggle from both of them.

"What are you plannin' Shal?" "What d'ya think?" She took Emma by her collar and yanked her inside her room.

#I'm gonna get free, I'm gonna get free, I'm gonna get free. Ride into the sun.#

Emma slammed the door shut with her foot. Getting rammed into it the second after by Shalimar.

#She never loved me, she never loved me, she never loved me. Why should anyone?#

Quickly moving down, leaving kisses behind, Shalimar undid Emma's shirt. Hands traveling everywhere. She stopped at Emma's abdomen.

#Come here, come here, come here. I'll take a photo for you.#

She went back up again, bringing Emma's arms with her, pinning them above Emma's head.

#Come here, come here, come here. Drive you around the corner.#

The pace was fast. They wanted each other more than anything.

#Come here, come here, come here. You know you really oughtta.#

It was time for Emma to make her move. She took Shalimar's waist and pushed her onto the bed.

#Come here, come here, come here. Move outta California.#

Emma sat on top, straddled her and didn't even try to unbutton the shirt she just ripped it open. "Uh-oh, Bren's gonna be pissed. That was his shirt." Shal smiled. "I'll just make him forget all about it." Emma smiled back.

#Get (Get), me (me), from (from), here (here).#

Emma leaned down to kiss Shalimar. Breathlessly, Shalimar pushed Emma back up. "I-I've been.. waiting so l-long for... This." She panted.

Flashback Emma

A blonde girl is laying under her. Like Shalimar she pants that she's been waiting for this.

Flashback end

Emma's eyes shot open, that flashback snapped her back to reality. "NO!" she said out loud. She got off of Shalimar and sat down on the edge of the bed, burying her face in her hands.

Shocked by the lack of weight and touch, Shalimar opened her eyes. When she saw Emma sobbing, she knew something was up.

"Emma, what's wrong?" "Nothing, it's just..." Shalimar put her hand her shoulder and turned Emma around to face her. "You can tell me."

Flashback/ Emma explaining

"When I was about 16. I brought my first girlfriend home. Her name was Cyane Mornay. My foster parents firmly believed in God. I didn't tell them I was gay, or at least struggling with the thought. We were fooling around when Gary, my so called father, caught us. He was mad, first he send Cyane home, then we had a talk. He told me that being gay was wrong and against the laws of God. He made me suppress my feelings for other girls. Telling me if I ever did it again, he would've no choice but to punish me. I was forced to deny a piece of myself Shalimar."

"Did you ever...?"

"Do it again? Yeah I did. My parents weren't home and I brought Cyane again. She kept saying we should just do it. So we went up to my room and well did it..."

"What happened?"

"My father came home early and went upstairs, to my room. We were so.. busy, we didn't hear him. He opened the door, saw us and dragged me out of bed. Cyane tried to help but he knocked her unconscious. When he turned around his eyes... His eyes, you could almost see the fire. I was scared beyond believe." Emma started to cry.

Shalimar had to hear no more. "Ohw Emma, I didn't know." She hugged her, letting her cry on her shoulder.

~A few days later~

Emma and Shalimar went to the safehouses to give Brad his new ID.

"Thank Adam for me will ya. If it wasn't for him the GSA would have me for sure."

"That's why were here." Emma said.

"Steve here will be your guide through the underground. He'll explain everything so you can live a happy little life." Shalimar said smiling, introducing the big psionic.

"Yup, just come with me and you'll be fine." The giant smiled.

"Okay, well, thanks again for helping me. See you 'round." They watched Brad and Steve leave. The safehouse was empty and it gave Shalimar an idea.

"So you wanna..." She asked wriggling her eyebrows.

"What, here?!" Emma said, completely taken by surprise.

"Why not? It's not like anyone's around."

"Shalimar, I'm not sure. What about the c..." before she could finish the sentence, Shalimar pulled Emma into a deep kiss. They didn't know....

~At Sanctuary~

Brennan was sitting in his room reading again when his door flew open. "Brennan you GOTTA see this!" Jesse said excited and out of breath.

Brennan flew out of his chair: "What? What happened?!"

But Jesse was already running to his computer. Brennan followed him. "Please tell me the girls all right, Jess!"

"Oh the girls are FINE Brennan, just fine." He stopped in front of the computer.

"Is THAT what you came to show me? Security-footage of a safehouse with this Brad guy leaving. How EXCITING. Say you're not running hot for him are ya?"

"No you perv! I meant this." And Jesse switched to live-stream.

"Still don't see a thing." Brennan was getting impatient.

Jesse turned up the volume so you could hear what was said. All Brennan could hear was things falling on the floor and some crashes. He began to panic.

"Jesse what the hell is going..." Then he heard loud moans.

Jesse smiled: "Now observe." And he turned the camera to the sound.

"OH MY GOD!" Brennan yelled. "Emma and Shalimar?! Having.. Doing.. Making. I-In a... with the cam... OH MY GOD!"

"Easy Brennan, easy. Think about your blood-pressure. Breath in, breath out." Jesse tried to calm him down.

After cooling down and having his breath under control, Brennan looked at Jesse. "Who's the perv NOW?!" Then smiled and quickly added: "You tape this, I'm gonna go get another chair." And he ran off.

~At the safehouse~

"You sure you wanna do this?" Shalimar asked.

"I'm sure just don't stop."

So Shalimar didn't. She also didn't know that Emma was fighting the flashes as she got closer to her climax. Emma was determined not to show it. Not that she had a chance of really focusing on the images in her head, because Shalimar was SO skilled with her hands.

"Shalimar you really are an animal!"

And Shal enjoyed that. This was one of the benefits of being a feral. All Ferals, especially feral felines, were know to be good... mates.

Emma screamed as she reached her climax. Screamed with both pain and joy. Pain of her memories and joy of what just happened to her.

Shalimar opened her eyes to see her exhausted lover, catching something moving in the corner of her eyes. Did that just...

"Emma?" Shal asked carefully.

"Hm?" Emma replied still recovering.

"Why is that camera moving?"

"Cam.. What camera?"

"That one in the corner."

They looked at each other with dilated eyes.

"Think they saw us?"

"Let's hope not." But somewhere they knew they were busted.

"Let's get back and find out."

~Back at Sanctuary~

The two girls entered, pretending nothing happened. Brennan greeted them.

"Hey, how did it go?"

"FINE!" They both replied.

"There you two are!" Jesse approached "I assume everything went... Smooth." He dragged that last word out seductively.

"Yes, everything went smooth. Yes sir, you bet!" Shalimar said, trying to hide the fact that she was going to blush.

"Good, good." Brennan nodded "You two are good animals." Jesse, who was trying to remain serious, was almost rolling on the ground.

"HAHAHAHA!!!! You can get a cookie now! HAHAHAHAHA!!"

Brennan too lost his self-control, hearing Jesse's comment.

"You think they know?" Shalimar asked Emma.

"Yeah, I think they do."

"Well I'm going to my room and feel embarrassed for a week or two."

"I'm going to go Adam. I need to talk to him."

The girl split up, leaving the guys laughing in Sanctuary.

Emma entered the lab.

"Adam, could you run a scan again. Those flashes are getting stronger and so are the headaches."

"Sure, but I think I'm gonna run more than one. Just to make sure."

"Yeah go ahead."

After five scans Adam was done.

"You can go to Shal, I'll let you know when I have the results."

"I'll do just that."

Emma went to Shalimar's room and found Shal pacing back and forth through it.

"Honey, why are you acting so nervous?" Emma asked with concern.

"I've been thinking, about us and how to break this to you..."

"Break what to me? What are you talking about?"

Then suddenly, Shal got on one knee, pulled a box from her pocket and looked up. She opened the box and it revealed a ring. "Will you marry me?"

TBC...
