The Next Morning, Sanctuary -
For the first time, Jesse actually woke up first before Adam. For as long as he could remember, he'd always wake up after Adam and after Shal. But this time was different...Shal wasn't here. He got up and went to get changed. Normally he would get up with the biggest smile because he'd just have had the most nicest dream or the longest sleep. But last night, he had no dream and he barely got any sleep.
He managed to drag himself to the cupboard and pick out some clothes for today. He only grabbed a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. He wasn't really used to getting dressed. He headed into the bathroom and repeating last night, started crying. Adam could hear him crying even though the water was running, and knew that he HAD to get Shal back. And if not for him, for Jesse. If Shal wasn't found, Jesse would be torn into a million pieces and unfortunately for Adam, Mutant X would be no more.
Jesse got out of the shower and was surprised to hear the beeping of the lab. *Adam must be awake. That was quick*
'Morning Adam...can you find her?'
'Morning Jesse, not yet. But I do have an idea that might help us find her. It'll take a few hours.'
'A few hours?! Okay...d'you want some food?' He didn't really wait for a reply but just headed into the kitchen anyway. Adam noticed the stress in Jesse's question and decided to not ask him to stay calm because he knew how badly it was hurting him inside.
Jesse returned about 15 minutes later with two plates of food. It wasn't until he saw the food that Adam realised how hungry he was. He took the plate and as he thanked Jesse noticed a sad expression on his face. Again he decided against mentioning it. He didn't want a more negative atmosphere in Sanctuary, if that was at all possible.
'Listen, if you really can't stay still, I'll understand if you want to go find her yourself. You can take the car and if I find out something I'll contact your comlink.'
'Thanks Adam.'
'Jesse? There's something I need to tell you...'
'Adam, it sounds serious...I don't think I can handle anymore news...' By the look on his face, Adam really didn't want to add to his concerns, but Jesse needed to know. So he tried just telling him straight out...instead of dragging it on for ages.
'You need to know. Now I know you and Shal are the only two members of Mutant X, but how would you feel with another two mutants? Right now, it's just feral and molecular...and that's a lot, but we could introduce an elemental and a psionic. You know what they are...now I have to tell you something else.' He paused for a minute letting Jesse absorb the news that was jsut told to him. He noticed a confused look on Jesse's face, but it soon disappeared as he realised what Adam had just said.
'Now I have been training two new mutants...and I won't bring them here until they're ready, but I do think that they are close to being ready. I have an appointment with the elemental later on this evening, and one with the psionic this afternoon. I will keep looking for Shalimar, and then I will be gone for about an hour. Her name is Emma DeLauro, I think you'll really like her, and hopefully today will be the last time I need to train her. I can then bring her back here, and then she can help us find Shalimar.'
It was Jesse's turn to speak after about 5 minutes of taking in the information.
'Emma? Hmm, well just as long as Shal is still our number one priority, and as long as she can help us. She a strong psionic?'
'She is a very strong psionic. And even if she can't help us find Shalimar, she will be very useful to the team.'
'What about the elemental you mentioned?'
'I don't think he's quite as ready, but as soon as I finish training Emma I can make more time for him. I think you'll like him too. They are both entertaining and strong new mutants at the same time. If you don't get along with them, then that's fine. You have a third of the choice.' He gave a little laugh at his joke, but didn't keep it going for too long as soon as he remembered the situation.
'I'm sure I will...what's his name?'
'His name is Brennan Mulwray...he's an electrical elemental and Emma is a strong telepathic and telempathic psionic. They both, in my opinion, have the strength to join Mutant X. But the decision is mainly yours and Shalimars.'
'I don't mind....just as long as we find Shal.'
'Well, you'd better get going, but I will bring Emma back later on today...we should be back here before you get home, but I'll contact you every now and then anyway.'
'Yeh okay Adam. I'll see you later.'
'Be careful Jesse.' And with that, Jesse turned and walked into the garage and drove off in search for his best friend and the closest thing he had to family.
Adam turned back to the computer and continued to frantically type in desperate search of Shalimar.
what do you think of the way emma was brought in? was it too 'coincedental'(can't spell)?
