Disclaimer: I do not own Mutant X
Chapter 4
Everybody continued to stare at the blood stained pillar. Slowly Jesse raised his ring to his mouth "Adam, can you get a lock on Emma?" there was silence "Why Jesse?" Shalimar looked at Jesse and took a deep breath. 10 minutes later Shalimar had finished telling Adam everything about what had just happened. "So Adam, that's why we want to find her" There was seconds of silence "She's at the corner of Evergreen Street and Aerianell Avenue." Jesse looked at Shalimar than at Brennan both nodded "Thanks Adam" The remaining members of Mutant X ran below and jumped into their car to pursue the path of their teammate.
Emma had been stumbling down the street holding her shoulder as the pain seeped through her body. "Its only just a little burn, just a little burn" she kept saying to herself as it began to sting more. Emma stumbled onto a wall "Maybe I should call Adam." Emma shook her head immediately "Hell no, not after what they did to me, I refuse to go back there" Emma continued to stumble down the street but from the corner of her eye she saw a car coming towards. The Silver Audi followed by her, she grimaced "Why won't they just leave me alone" Emma sucked in the pain and began to run down the ally way as Jesse, Shalimar, and Brennan called after her. All three followed Emma, hot on her heels. Emma quickly turned to the right only to find a dead end when she turned around it was too late. Brennan, Shalimar, and Jesse all stood at the end of the ally blocking her path.
She glared at them "WHY WON'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE?!?!" She screamed at them. Shalimar stepped forward a couple steps but soon Emma's forehead lit up with a Psionic Blast. She glared at Shalimar "Don't come any closer" she said through gritted teeth. Shalimar halted "Em, please come back to Sanctuary, your bleeding, come back so Adam can help you" Brennan looked at Emma "Emma, you've lost a lot of blood, you've left a blood trail everywhere you've gone" Emma gently pushed herself off the wall "I don't care" she said as she glared at them. She took a couple steps but soon felt really weak, just when she was about to fall Jesse raced forward and held her "Emma.. are you okay?" Emma pushed Jesse away "Let me go!" she took a few more steps until she collapsed unconscious but once again before she hit the ground Jesse caught her again. Shalimar ran forward quickly and checked for a pulse "She has one but weak, we better get her back to Sanctuary quickly" Jesse lifted her up carefully and walked back to the car and soon made their way back to Sanctuary.
Jesse was first the walk through the doors of Sanctuary running to the lab "ADAM!!!" Jesse ran into the lab "Jesse, put her on here" Jesse gently laid Emma on the table "What happened?" Jesse shook his head "I don't.I don't know.she just.collapsed" Adam took a look at her shoulder "She's lost a lot of blood" Adam took the mini flashlight into her eyes "Okay, Shalimar I need your help, the rest of you out of here" Jesse looked at Adam "But." Adam already began grabbing bandages "GO!" Brennan put his hands on Jesse's shoulders and steered him out of the lab as he started at Emma.
An hour had passed and Jesse still sat outside the door of the med lab. Running through his thoughts. "You love her don't you?" Jesse looked up to see Brennan with his arms crossed. Jesse ran his fingers through his hair "Well." Brennan sat down next to Jesse "Don't worry, you can tell me, I won't tell anyone" Brennan said as he patted Jesse on the shoulder. Jesse just sighed "I do Brennan, I've never really thought about it till now, I really do, I really love her" Brennan smiled "Well why won't you tell her?" Jesse sighed again "Because I don't think she feels the same way as I do" Brennan rubbed his chin "Well, I think you should tell her before you regret it" Jesse laid his head on his arms "Well I guess I should.I just don't know if I-" Jesse was suddenly cut off by Adam coming out of the Med Lab. Jesse jumped up immediately "How is she?" Adam smiled "She's going to be fine, she's going to have to take it easy though" Jesse smiled "Can I go see her?" Adam nodded. Jesse ran in immediately to see Emma lying on the table. Adam walked in "She's still sedated so she might not be awake for another couple hours" Jesse nodded as he held Emma's hand in his. He looked at her pale face and caressed her cheek with his hands gently.
Brennan walked through the halls of Sanctuary; he passed by the dojo only to find Shalimar beating the hell out of a punching bag. Brennan walked up the stairs "Hey Shal, what ya doing?" Shal smiled "What does it look like?" Brennan stared at the punching bag and back at Shal. "Ok.Well I have news for you" Shal stopped immediately and sat down on the dojo stairs whipping the sweat of her forehead. "How's Emma?" Brennan sat down right beside her "She's going to be fine, but hey, our little Jesse has a crush" Shalimar's eyes widened "Who?!?" Brennan smirked "You have to guess" Shalimar growled "Tell me before I hurt you" Shalimar said with a giggle in her voice. Brennan smirked "Emma" Shalimar's eyes widened in shock "Really?!" Brennan nodded. "How do you know?" Brennan smirked again "He told me.Shal, Jesse doesn't only like her, well-" "He loves her" Shalimar cut off. "I always had an idea about it he always seemed really happy around Emma and even nervous at times" Brennan's eyebrow raised "So what do you think? Good or bad?" Shalimar put her head on her arms. "I always wanted them to get together, they always seemed perfect for each other, but until the recent events I really don't know" Brennan nodded "I know what you mean" Brennan put his arm around Shalimar and kissed her on the forehead.
A couple hours had passed, Shalimar and Brennan had gone to bed and Jesse had fallen asleep in the chair next to Emma's bed still grasping her hand. Emma slowly opened her eyes to find herself in the med bay in Sanctuary. She looked around the room until her eyes rested on Jesse's face. She stared at his face; she looked down at her hand to find Jesse's holding hers. Emma's eyes widened "Oh my god, he must have stayed the whole day" She stared at his solemn face "How sweet". Emma tried to sit up but she winced in pain as the pain in her shoulder increased. "Hey hey hey, you stay right there, you're not going anywhere" Emma looked up to see Jesse already up and forcing her to lie back down. "But-" "No buts, stay put" Jesse cut her off before she began. Emma looked over at the clock they lay on the counter "How long have I been out?" Jesse yawned "About 12 hours". Everything became awkward and silence filled the room. Emma tried to sit up again "No" Jesse put his hand down on her other shoulder forcing to lie back down. She tried again "Bad Emma" he forced her down again as both of them laughed. "Why Mr. Kilmartin, I didn't know you were so caring" Emma smirked "There's a lot of things you don't know Miss DeLauro" Jesse smiled back. "Are you sure you aren't feral, you sure are protective" Jesse chuckled at what Emma said. A grumble echoed through the med lab, both looked at Jesse's stomach and began to laugh. "Wow, I just realized I haven't ate today" Emma's eyes widened "That's a first" Emma laughed. She looked at him with a smile "How come?" she asked gently. Jesse tried his best to dodge Emma's look at him "I have my reasons" Emma smirked "Well they must be pretty good reasons to stop you from eating. Well why don't you go grab something to eat, there's nothing stopping you now." Jesse looked at Emma "I don't want to leave you here all by yourself" Emma shook her head "Nah, I'll be fine, just bring me a bottle of water" Jesse nodded and left the room.
Twenty minutes had passed and Emma began to wonder where Jesse had gone. Emma spoke into her com-link "Hey Jess, where are you?" the door in the med lab swung open. Jesse had his arms full of food right from pizza to water to sodas right to chips. Emma tried her best to hold back the laughter "Oh my god Jess" Jesse's head peered over the mountain of food he carried in his arms "What?" Emma was just amazed "There's no way your going to eat all of that" Jesse placed the food on a little table "I know, I brought some of it up for you" Jesse smirked "But all I wanted was some water" Jesse chuckled "Your going to get hungry sooner or later" Emma laughed.
They had spent the whole night talking, eating, and laughing. Emma looked over at Jesse; he had fallen asleep on the chair next to her bed. 'He looks so innocent' she thought to herself. Emma slowly got out of her bed, her shoulder screamed at her but she didn't make a sound no matter how much it hurt. She grabbed a bottle of painkillers and took with her water Jesse had grabbed her earlier. Emma slowly moved to her room and got changed; she winced in pain as she put on her clothes. She grabbed a couple blankets in her room and brought them to the med lab, she gently wrapped them around Jesse's sleeping form. She grabbed a piece of paper and wrote something upon it and laid it on top of her bed and laid her com link on top. She looked at Jesse; tears began to well up in her eyes. She gently kissed him on the forehead and brushed a piece of hair out of his face. She grabbed her coat and walked silently out of Sanctuary into one of the cars that lay in the Garage. She drove out of Sanctuary with tears rolling down her cheeks.
Jesse awoke with the sun shining upon his face. He slowly looked over to the bed next to him to find it empty. He stared at the piece of paper on the bed. He sat up to find Emma's com-link lying on top of the white piece of paper. He lifted the ring into his hand and stared at the piece of paper that read 'I'm sorry'
