~ Sanctuary ~
Jesse and Adam were still over-hyper after Emma had got a hit off Shalimar. They didn't feel the atmosphere change as another person entered Sanctuary. But Emma was a psionic...of course she'd notice.
She slipped away towards the garage without the boys noticing, since they were talking non-stop about how they had felt for the past couple of days. Emma liked it, she didn't like it when people bottled up feelings inside. It wasn't healthy.
Shalimar was taking everything in from her home surroundings. Everything was as it was when she had last been here, which was only a couple of days ago. She was shocked at how long it had felt. Although, she didn't think that anything would have changed anyway.
*Man, am I glad to be home*
She carried on walking and stopped at the door, and slightly jumped when it opened considering she wasn't the one who opened it.
Shalimar was smiling to herself, glad that she was home. What she didn't expect when she opened the door was...a girl.
'Who are you?'
'Shalimar Fox, I presume?'
'Yeah, now who are you? Where's Jesse? And Adam?'
'I'm Emma. Emma deLauro. Adam and Jesse are upstairs. Um...yesterday, Adam asked me to join Mutant X and I said yes...'
Seeing the look of shock on her face, she added a little extra hoping to keep the feral calm.
'But, you know! I..um..I said to Adam that I wasn't going to join for sure, until it was okay with you and Jesse.'
'Oh...well, I'd like to see them first if that's okay...alone please.' Shalimar really needed to see the two people she called her family for the past few years, and she didn't really want to do it in front of this woman who she had never seen before.
'Oh! That's fine! I'll, um..just be in my room.' And Emma walked off leaving Shalimar to walk upstairs alone, as she wished.
She took a few steps forward, and was so unsure of what to do. She was actually surprised she wasn't sprinting to Adam and Jesse by now, but was taking her time. She fastened her pace a little, and before she knew it, she was at the stairs. Adam and Jesse still were oblivious to the disappearance of Emma, and also to the fact that Shalimar was right below them. It wasn't until they heard heels on the stairs that they realised Emma was missing.
'Emma?' Adam was wondering where Emma went, since she didn't say anything when she left.
Jesse and Adam were getting freaked out, since the person was walking slower and slower, and also didn't reply. They didn't think it was Emma though, unless she was just pulling a prank...but was she?
The two men were staring at the space where the stairs were, waiting in silence, their preivous conversation totally forgotten. The looks on their faces were, as one would say, priceless.
'Not quite Emma...but close enough.' Shalimar rounded the corner and, forgetting the situation, wished that she had a camera. All through it all, she had no idea what she had put them through. There was silence between the three of them for about 5 minutes, until Jesse broke it with a little mumble.
'Sh..Shal-Shalimar?' His eyes were beginning to water. He hadn't seen her for a few days now, and was in a way surprised at the effects it had on him.
'Whatsup? See you guys have made a new friend.' They had no doubt she was referring to Emma downstairs.
What she wasn't expecting though, was the two of them rush up and hug her so tight that she couldn't breathe!
'Um...guys? I kinda...uh...lack of oxygen here!'
'Shalimar, you don't know how worried we've bin!!'
'Thanks Jesse, and I'm SO glad to see you guys! Trust me, I'll tell you the whole story...it's just..Adam? I'm gonna ask you for one of your checkups that I hate...yeh, I'm asking for it. It's just I got a little hurt, and I've been looked after but I think only one of your scans will work.'
Adam was quite surprised at her request. She and Jesse always seemed to get impatient and annoyed at his scans. They just couldn't be bothered half the time.
'Yeah, sure Shalimar. You know where to go. Your stuff in your room hasn't been changed..so that kind of means that nothing's been cleaned either.' The three of them shared a small laugh, and were a little taken back as to how they were all so cool and calm about Shalimar's return.
Emma had been walking at the bottom of the stairs just as Shalimar had asked Adam to scan her. She didn't want to ruin the moment upstairs, but she did want to be properly introduced to Shalimar, so she made her way up slowly. It gave a feeling of deja vu after Shalimar's shoes as she walked up about 15 minutes ago.
'Emma?'
She poked her head round the corner to reply to Adam...just to be polite.
'Yes Adam?'
'Come here...I'd like to introduce you. Finally.'
The four of them walked together, and shared another little laugh at Adams final comment.
'Emma? I'd like to introduce you to Shalimar Fox, the person you've been helping us to find lately. And Shalimar? I'd like to introduce you to Emma deLauro, the newest member of Mutant X..that is, after the four of us have discussed it. I need to talk to you about a few things after you've settled in. Okay?'
'Hey Adam, it's fine. Dunno why, but I like you Emma. It's strange cause I don't even know you, but it feels like I do.'
'Yeah, me too.'
The two women shared a look. One that Jesse nor Adam would ever understand. A look usually shared between sisters.
'Okay okay, can Shal have her scan already? I wanna hug ya and squeeze ya!'
The four burst out laughing at what Jesse had said. But it was true, he wanted to welcome her back home. Even though she was only missing for a couple of days, it felt like months to Jesse. He loved her, and hated to see her lost. Being lost just wasn't in her nature.
'Okay Shalimar, head down there and I'll be there in a minute.'
'Okay Adam!' She turned to walk down the stairs but stopped at the top of the stairs.
'Hey guys?' There was a pause for her to get their attention 'It's great to be home.'
'It's great for you to be home.'
She disappeared down the stairs, leaving the three to stand there. It was Jesse who broke the silence, again.
'Well Emma...I don't think she any problem with you joining! Welcome, officially, to Mutant X!'
'Thanks Jess.'
(Who would think that Shal would go downstairs? lol) She waited around the corner, and listened to the tone in Jesse's voice. She wasn't annoyed at Emma, she thought she was quite nice really. It was just nice for her to hear Jesse's voice being sweet and innocent. She smiled to herself knowing that Jesse would definately have an interesting relationship with Emma, after all, she is a feral...she knows these things!! *my lil bro's finally gettin something he wants!*
ok, so he isnt actually shal's brother but in this fic, they're just like family and she looks at him like a little brother. thats kind of what i meant anyway. whatcha think?
