Chapter 2: The ruins that Emma left behind still lay their, her teammates, still lay on the ground. Hours had gone by, Shalimar was the first to wake; she woke with a jolt to see her friends lying on the ground beside her and Emma gone. Shalimar rubbed her forehead in pain "Damn, what a headache", Shalimar looked at everything, a moan caused her to jump, Jesse began to wake, Shalimar crawled to Jesse and shook him slightly "Hey Jess, you okay?" Jesse rubbed his eyes and nodded, he looked up at her with confusion, and Shalimar hugged Jesse, just about suffocating him to death. Soon Brennan woke up, he as well rubbed his eyes and put his arm over his knee "What the hell just happened?" Brennan said abruptly, Shalimar looked towards Brennan, she was worried, and so was he, neither of them would have thought this would have ever happened; she was their kid sister, innocent. Adam came from the corridor "Finally, you guys are up" all the remaining members swung to face Adam with all confusion drawn on their faces. "How long have you been up?" Brennan asked Adam took a sip of his coffee and slowly responded to Brennan "About 15 mins" silenced filled the room as confusion still filled it.
"Oh, your probably wondering why I was up before you, well Emma's wave, it appeared to be targeted towards Mutants, not humans" Shalimar rubbed her forehead again "But when the hell has she been able to do that?" Adam shrugged "Who knows, it appears she's been keeping her true power from us" Brennan rubbed his eyes once more "You mean that Emma's been able to do this for a while now" Adam tilted his head slightly "Who knows how long" his team was thrown back by this. "To tell you the truth, I believe she could have killed us if she wanted too" Adam said while taking another sip of this coffee. Brennan was thrown in a whirlwind of confusion, while Shalimar was scanning through her memories to see if anything like this happened before, and Jesse, well Jesse's doing both plus worry on the side. Adam spoke once more "But there is one thing about this, I think its not the first time she's did this" Adam shrugged and nodded.
A couple hours had passed; Adam had let Shalimar and Brennan sleep it off while Jesse was nowhere to be found. Adam was in the med lab he slowly lifted his comm. Ring "Shalimar, Brennan, wake up! Meet me down at the lab" soon two groggy voices seeped over the comm. Ring "We'll be there in 10".
Shalimar and Brennan had showered and gotten changed when they walked through the doors "What's up Adam?" Brennan said with his arm around Shalimar "Wait, where's Jesse? I called him 10 minutes ago" Shalimar and Brennan shrugged, Brennan looked at Adam, "I'll go find him" Adam nodded while Brennan walked out of the lab, he checked Jesse's room, the kitchen, the Rec. Room, the Dojo, just about everywhere until he walked passed Emma's bedroom. He found Jesse searching through Emma's things, searching for an answer to everything "JESS! What the hell are you doing?" Jesse jumped, he didn't hear Brennan come in "I'm trying to figure out why she did this" Brennan walked over to Jesse and shut the book he was looking through "Come on, Adam wants us" Jesse got up and walked with Brennan towards the Med Lab, thoughts of Emma running through his head. He missed how they use to joke, he would always call her the 'Damsel in distress' while she called him the 'Knight in shining armour', that began the day when she tripped on a stair and Jesse caught her before she hit the floor. He missed her.
Jesse and Brennan walked into the Med Lab to meet Shalimar and Adam; Adam was reading the computer screen before he turned around "Good, your all here, well.I'm not exactly how to say this. But I found Emma" Jesse got up from the table he had been sitting on "Where is she?!?!? Wait, how did you find her??" Adam turned around at the computer screen once again "Well, it appears she still has her comm. Ring on. She appears to be at Kindred Park." Adam turned around once again to face them "I want you to go get her, I know she doesn't' want to say, but please bring her back, don't hurt her. If she comes back, hopefully she'll explain why this all happened" His team nodded, they agreed, they wanted her to come back, but agreed not to hurt her either, she meant to much to them even thought what she did. It was 10 mins before they were in the car and made their way to the park to help Emma.
Emma sat on a bench in the park with her bag beside her, wiping away the tears, she felt bad about what she did, it was eating at her, but she had to do it, there was no other way, and no other option. She stared at the big oak tree that grew over; the branches towered over her with the leaves giving her shelter. It was quiet, she felt at peace. The wind seeped threw her dark hair tossing it side to side. She stared at her surroundings; she smiled as the young kids played at the playground in the distance. She moved her sight to the ground as it slowly moved up the tree. She jumped up, her senses jumped, she could feel them, and they were here. She closed her eyes to improve her focus, she shot her eyes open to see in the distance, her ex-team mates dashing towards her, Shalimar in the lead closely followed by Brennan and Jesse. Emma snapped her bag up and ran towards the near by woods, her bag slowing her down as the distance between them began to close. Emma moved behind the tree and stashed her bag in a bush 'I'll grab it later' Emma moved fast, she quickly spun around to hide behind a tree. The team had caught up to her; there was less than 10 feet between.
Jesse and Brennan looked around while Shalimar's eyes soon became golden, Shalimar could smell her, Brennan and Jesse watched Shalimar as she slowly stepped around, and Emma knew she was caught. Shalimar pointed to the tree and whispered to Jesse "She's behind there". This sprung Emma's emotions into high gear. Brennan, Shalimar and Jesse stepping slowly her way, they moved around the tree to see Emma leaning against it. She moved her gaze to face them, she smirked "I was never good at hide and sneak" Brennan stepped forward a step "STOP!" Emma shot towards Brennan; Brennan held his hands out in front his chest. Shalimar looked at Emma "Come on Em, come back, come to Sanctuary, come back to Mutant X" Emma's face went angry, she shouted at Shal cause her to be shoot back "NO! WHEN WILL YOU FIGURE OUT I AM NOT COMING BACK!" Brennan stepped forward "Sorry Em, your coming back whether you like it or not" Emma glared at Brennan "I'm not going back Brennan" Brennan's fingers lit up with bolts of electricity jumping from finger to finger "Yes you are Emma" Brennan lit up enough in his hand just to knock her out, not too do any damage. Quickly Brennan shot the electricity at Emma, Jesse swung around and massed right in front of Emma before impact.
"BRENNAN! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?!" Jesse shouted towards Brennan as the crimson lines disappeared from his body. "Move Jess" before Jesse could respond, Emma swung around to the front of him and shot Shalimar with a psionic blast just enough to knock her out. Brennan's hands filled with bolts and he once again fired them towards Emma, the bolt flew just past her head causing her hair to stand on end. Emma quickly jabbed her elbow in Brennan's stomach causing him to fall to his knees gasping for air. Jesse looked at Emma "Emma, please." Emma looked at Jesse, she slowly pushed a strand of her dark hair out of her face. She looked at Jesse, Emma dashed away from her team mates deeper into the forest, Jesse glared at Brennan "Take care of Shal" Jesse slowly made a pursuit after Emma. But his pursuit was useless, she disappeared from his sight, he underestimated her, everybody did, nobody thought she could ever do something like this. Jesse looked through the trees, but slowly turned around to begin his walk to return to Shal and Brennan.
Emma stood beside a tree as she saw Jesse walk away, she pulled a piece of hair out of her face and looked again at Jesse "I'm sorry"
