A.N.: As I said, this is going to be a short one. I didn't wanna ruin the
fun in the last chapter and I really wanted the issue up next to have it's
own chapter.
Chapter 4: Diagnosis.
Emma began to shed tears of joy, but before she could answer Adam's urgent voice sounded through the comm-link.
"Emma! Shalimar! I need you here now. I've got something to tell you."
"Adam we're in the middle of something, can't it wait?!" Shalimar asked annoyed.
"No, you two need to hear this now!"
Shalimar sighed. "Adam does know how to time things, doesn't he?"
"Well, he does sound urgent. We should go." So they went to the lab.
"What's up Adam?" "You'd better sit down for this. Both of you."
"Come on Adam, I was proposing to her."
Adam was shocked that he interrupted such a thing and he knew that it was going to make the news even worse.
"I don't know how I can bring you this in the easiest way. So I think I'll just tell it. Emma, those headaches and visions of yours... They're a result of a...."
Shalimar couldn't hear what was said, she was in total shock.
"It seems that your brain can't handle your powers anymore. It's a known problem with psionics. There's no cure."
"You can't be serious Adam! There must be SOMETHING you can do!" Shalimar shouted, grabbing Adam by his arms.
"I'm sorry Shalimar."
"No, you don't understand. There IS a cure and I'm gonna find it!" she walked towards the exit.
"Shalimar! Shalimar, get back here!" Adam shouted, stopping Shalimar in her tracks.
"Shalimar, please stay. There's just one thing I wanna know." Emma spoke. She looked at Adam.
But Shalimar didn't wanna hear it, so she ran away. The dojo was the best place to come to terms with this.
Adam hugged Emma knowing this was though, but she was strong enough to deal with it. He was worried that Shalimar wasn't. When they let go of each other, she'd left. Emma found her fighting virtual agents in the dojo. Tears running down her cheeks. Knocking the one after the other agent out. Emma turned the simulation off.
Shalimar quickly recovered and Emma approached her.
"I'm telling the guys and I want you to be there too." Shalimar hesitated, then nodded and followed Emma to the lab.
Brennan and Jesse were already waiting. Brennan was about to make some lame joke but refrained from doing so the minute he saw Shalimar's eyes, clouded with tears.
"What's wrong with you Shalimar?" he asked.
"Nothing's wrong with me, it's Emma you should worry about." Both Jesse and Brennan looked at Emma with a questioning look on their faces.
"Guys, Adam said that I.. I have a mutated brain tumor. I only have about a month or so to live."
And once again the group was silent.
