Yeah! There I am again. A little bit faster than before. ;)

MutantX is not mine. Nothing in life is mine. It is all ruled by other people. The only thing is mine is my mind and even that is completely true!

I won't keep you busy with my ramblings. Lets enjoy this new chapter.

I hope it won't be to confusing.

I want to dedicate this one to all of my reviewers! You guys are the best! Without you I would be nowhere!

He just stared at the blank screen after the last tape ended. The picture, stuck in his mind, of a woman lying in a pool of her own blood made him feel cold. The purple dress was ripped and a dark bruise was forming on the womans left cheek. She had been beaten badly as it appeared.

"Remember?" That simple word scared the hell out of him. "Don't tell me you forgot this memory? Although it would be naturally you have tried to get rid of this dreadful event."

The evil grin that spread over the doctor his face made him ache. He closed his eyes. Maybe he could block this man and this memory before they would enter his mind.

"Jesse? Are you listening?" He opened his eyes, afraid for a moment to see the madman his face. But instead he saw Brennan. He blinked several times trying to remember what they were talking about before his daydream. Or was there another word for nightmares on a clear blue day?

Brennan sighed. "What were you thinking about Jess?"

"I told you before that I don't want to talk about it."

"Yah but that was before it would interrupt our conversations. You have to tell it sometime Jess"

No don't go there Brennan. Don't.

"There is nothing to say. The madman is dead. I just have to forget what he tried to do."

Shit. Wrong thing to say.

"What did he do to you Jess? I can't remember the last time you had nightmares. And Blam! After that horrible mission they were there again!"

"It is probably just a period of dreams. Just my mind that relieves the stress of the day."

Brennan shot him a look that simply told him that he wasn't believing it.

"Wow Jesse. Never thought you could come up with something so smart while you had such a little sleep." The sarcasm cut through the air.

Like the professor had spoken. Trying to make him look like an idiot. It seemed so much alike and suddenly he was in that lab again.

"You see Jesse. She died up there. Alone. There was no one when she died. How would you feel when you died that way? Well?"

He gasped for air. The words were echoing in his thoughts.

"I think I will let you die the exact way she did. Including the beating off course."

"Leave it Brennan. Don't go there." Jesse hissed.

"What? Do we have to leave you to screaming in the middle of the night for the rest of your life?"

"I warn you..."

"Warning me? Haven't you noticed how you affect the whole atmosphere up here Jesse? The girls are walking on eggshells because they are afraid you will go off any moment soon. You are a walking bomb! Haven't you noticed how you changed the last days?"

But before Brennan had the chance to say anything else he saw Jesse massing. Red and Black flickering all over his body. "I warn you once more Brennan. DON'T GO THERE!"

His head was throbbing, like it had been while watching those terrible tapes.

"Jesse we are all worried sick about you. Why won't you tell us what happened in that lab? What has been done to you Jess? Talk to us, please."

Stop pleading Brennan. It hurts to much to think about it.

He took a few steps closer to BrennanHe was trembling.

Hold back. Don't hit him right now. Control. Damn it, control yourself Jesse.

His mind was racing. His ragged breath flew out of him and in again.

It weren't the memories that plagued him that bad. It was that man. It was what he had said.

"What would you do if your wife was killed? Better, what would you do if your wife was killed and your daughter taken by a fool named Noah Kilmartin? Too bad he died already. I would love to beat the hell out of him for bringing my daughter to the Dominion.

Look I still have a family picture. Want to see? We were so happy Jesse. Until one died and one disappeared."

The man pushed a photo in his face.

And all Jesse could do was gasp for air.

I have an evil streak but I don't use it too much!! Really!

So many questions... I know. And I try to keep it in line. But I had so much trouble with writing this chapter. Though I had the feeling Brennan would be the best person to drive Jess to the edge. With or without intention to do it.

Love your reviews!! Thank you for them!!

by the way: Haven't read my story that carefully. I will do that when I have more time. And take the mistakes I find away!
