It had been one week after Shalimar had returned. Now that there was nothing to worry about, it was quite calm in Sanctuary. They had a little celebration party to welcome Emma to Mutant X, and it was, to Emma, the best night ever. She really felt like part of another family now, and was looking forward to all their missions together.
Nothing came up on proxy blue, and nothing seemed to be happening with GenomeX, so the team took this as a good sign. Since there was no action, and Emma was still quite new, they had all managed to get some training in. Shalimar had taken up the responsabilty to help Emma with her physical skills. In the past week, anyone would have thought Emma and Shalimar lived in the dojo, since they spent so much time there! They fought, and meditated...two of Shalimar's favourite things.
Jesse was in charge of helping Emma with all his little 'skills' with the computers. He told her all his secrets about attempting to hack into a computer half way across the world, if needed, and how to change all the security passes, if needed. Emma probably found this the best out of everything she learnt at Sanctuary. One, because it was just all so clever. And two, who would pass up a chance to get a hands on teaching session from Jesse? Emma wouldn't.
That left Adam to teach her the scientific side of everything. His expertise helped her a whole lot for the future. If he was out, then the team would all have an idea of what to do in an emergency. Emma had so much fun in the past week, but after there was nothing left to learn, she soon got bored and along with her, Shalimar. Jesse was never too bored, because he could just take something apart and put it together, but lately, there was nothing else to disassemble.
'ADAM!!'
Adam rushed to the dojo area to see what had happened. Shalimar and Jesse were training and Emma was meant to be watching them to see how they reacted.
He half expected to see a bloody face or an unconscious somebody from the way Shalimar shouted out for him. He was a little surprised when he saw the three of his team standing with either folded arms, or in the women's case, hands on hips.
'What?' Laughs could not be kept in from the three as they saw that expression on their leader's face. He was just so...clueless.
'No really, what?'
'I'll tell you what Adam.' Emma said, 'Me, Jesse and Shalimar have been sitting on our asses all week and we have run out of things to take apart and run out of asses to kick.'
Adam chuckled at her comment. She definately had no problems in joining the team. He was glad, that just meant that there would actually be peace among the team.
'Well, I'll tell you what.'
He had three heads looking at him desperately and chuckled again to himself inside at how desperate they were looking. They looked so cute and silly at the same time. The faces didn't last long though, they soon got impatient.
'Well?'
'Firstly Emma, you have to calm down.' Rather than the four laughing at different times, this caused the lot of them to smile at his comment. It was true though, Emma was definately cooped up in Sanctuary too long. And as for Shalimar, well...she was turning into a house cat. Which was something they did not want.
He thought to himself for a moment. He wasn't sure whether there would suddenly be action for them or not, and he didn't want to risk any chance. They might get hurt if he let them out. But if he kept them in, then they would go out anyway. Since that was the case, and Adam didn't usually like to put them all out, he decided to give them all the night off. Plus, he had to go and see Brennan, but he thought better to not mention it to them yet.
'Secondly, after thinking about it...' He loved keeping them in suspense.
'..Yeah? Come on Adam!! I'm dying here!!'
'Ok Shalimar. After thinking about it, I'll give you all the next two nights off, okay?'
Whoops and cheers could be heard all over Sanctuary, simply from three mutants in the dojo area. However worried he was, Adam liked nothing more than to see happy satisfied faces on his team
'On TWO conditions!!' He had to shout to get their attention, and it worked since the noise suddenly stopped and six eyes were staring right at him.
'Firstly! If there is ANY and I mean ANY sign of danger, I want you back here immediately, and if I contact you on your commlinks, that means it will be important and I will need you to come back here.'
'Okay...' That was the only comment he allowed before continuing.
'Secondly...If you're going to go out...don't disturb me!! Go out, come in, however many times. Just don't bother me too much, unless it's too important.' He paused to let them take it in.
'And Thirdly..-' He was cut by Jesse.
'I thought you only said two conditions!'
Adam ignored him with a smile, and continued with his rules.
'And Thirdly...' He gave a look as to tell them not to interupt him.
'...I want you all to have fun!!'
'Cheers Adam, you won't regret it!!'
'Yeah, yeah. Just don't burn Sanctuary down, and don't make too much of a mess!'
He was given a kiss on either cheek from the girls, and a smile from Jesse. *I could get used to this!* He laughed at his joke, but the three younger mutants in front of him did not notice. They were alread in mid-conversation of what they were going to do.
Shalimar and Emma ran off to one of their rooms, Adam knew better than to pay too much attention to their conversations. And Jesse just followed them, but turned into his room rather than their room's.
*Oh boy...I just hope I don't have any regrets*
You know what you have to do! :)
