Once inside Shalimar wanted to go find Adam and Emma insisted helping her. Adam was in the lab as usual, he looked up from the monitor and smiled warmly when the girls walked in. "Feeling better I take it?"

Both girls smiled and nodded in unison. "Em taught me some meditation techniques to help clear the mess in my head."

Emma feigned a hurt look, "Hey! I liked the mess in my head thank you very much."

Shal laughed, "Well it's my mess for the time being."

Adam spoke up, "Now that both of you are in the lab I do need to finish the tests."

"Well that's why I brought Shal in here to find you, but I need to work out...I feel like a caged animal...I am going to go crazy if I don't let out some energy. I will do the test after that."

Adam frowned, "Emma it won't take too long, I promise."

Emma tightly folded her arms across her chest, "And I said I will after I let off some energy, there is no way I can lay down right now." With that said she turned on her heel and walked out of the lab.

"Adam you have to understand, she is not used to feeling like she is bouncing off the walls, I eventually got used to it. Let her work out for a little bit and then I can get her to finish your tests."

Adam moved his gaze from the empty doorway to the blonde. "You think she will listen to you instead of me?"

"Of course, I never listened to you but I always listened to her. She had a way of putting things that would make me do anything she said. And I don't mean she used her powers, it was just the way she said them." Shal smiled, "She knew how to handle the feral in me...and so I know how to handle the feral in her."

Adam sighed as Shal hopped up on the chair ready for scanning. "After I finish scanning both of you I can get a better idea on how to change your powers back." Adam faced turned serious, "Meaning that both of you want your powers back."

"Yes we both do, it's just...it's just kinda fun and exciting to experience something new, you know?

Adam nodded, "I understand, you two just need to be careful, neither one of you can completely control your new powers...that will take some time and training. You and Emma need to stick together on this one."

Shalimar laughed, "When do Emma and I not stick together?"

--------------------

Emma changed her clothes as quickly as she could and ran to the Dojo. She stretched out a little knowing that her body was not used to any rigorous physical training. She turned on the hologram machine and lost herself in the fighting. Emma smiled as her body moved in ways it couldn't before. She was out of breath yet her body was still going full speed. Suddenly the holograms vanished, and she felt someone at the bottom of the stairs. She closed her eyes to use her new senses to figure out who was at the bottom. "Brennan?"

She opened her eyes and looked around the room. Brennan was standing at the bottom of the stair case just like she predicted.

"Not bad, Em. I see that you are getting pretty good at Shal's powers...but just how good are you?" Brennan walked up the stairs grinning, "Wanna fight?"

Emma wiped the sweat off her brow with her wrist. "It won't be much of a fight, maybe more of you being my punching bag."

The second Brennan reached the top of the stairs Emma lunged for him. Rolling around a couple of times Emma landed on top of him, "You are making this too easy Brenn."

He kicked her off, Emma landed on her feet and immediately started throwing jabs. Brennan blocked the first two but Emma kept coming and his chest caught the rest. Emma paused to give Brennan some much needed air and took a step back. Brennan realized that this might be his only chance of catching her off guard and jumped in the air to kick Emma. Emma was still one step ahead and blocked the kick which made Brennan fall to the ground. Emma was already on top of him the second his body hit the floor. She smiled brightly as her eyes flashed yellow, "I am a bad ass."

Brennan laughed and smiled back at the woman on straddling him. "Okay okay, I will admit it, Emma DeLauro you are a bad ass, now get off me so I can go bug Shal now...maybe she won't be so rough on me."

Emma got up and helped Brennan to his feet. "Yeah, I need to go to the lab too, Adam still needs to finish his scan on me, but I think I need a shower first."

"Yes, you do need a shower, I'm not used to seeing you sweat like this."

Emma shot him a dirty look only to have Brennan laugh and walk downstairs towards the lab.

---------------

Emma turned the corner for the bathroom and stopped dead in her tracks. The sweet smell of jasmine filled her nose. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. She would know that smell anywhere, it was Shalimar's smell. She must have just gotten out of the shower herself thought Emma. She turned around and walked towards Shalimar's room. The smell was so gratifying that she had to get more. She would just ask Shal how the scanning went so she could be closer to the pleasing smell. She lightly knocked on the door, "Shal?"

Shalimar opened the door wrapped up in an oversized pink towel and stepped to the side to let Emma in. As Emma walked past Shalimar to her bed she tried her best to inhale discretely. She sat down on the bed to face Shalimar giggling. Seeing Emma's confused face Shalimar said, "I knew you would and find me the second I got out of the shower."

Emma's eyes widened, "What?"

Shalimar grinned and replied, "Didn't you ever realize how I would somehow find you whenever you just finished showering?"

Emma blushed and narrowed her eyes and said, "I don't know what you are talking about, I just came by to see how your scanning went."

The blonde crossed her arms across her chest, "Scanning was fine, but I know you are lying." Judging by Emma's silence and her crimson face Shal knew she was right. "It's okay Em, I had to do the same thing, I love the way you smell after you shower...and we use the same shower gel so I know why you came by."

Emma averted her eyes from Shalimar's face. "This is so embarrassing. I thought I was being discrete."

Shalimar giggled, "Now you know how I felt, it was all I could do not to grab you and shove my nose in your hair."

Emma laughed and looked into Shalimar's eyes, "Really?"

"Really. It's actually comforting to know this...I mean once I get my powers back I won't have to make up lame excuses to be next to you after you shower." Shalimar's smile widened.

Emma smiled back and looked the blonde up and down, "Hey, isn't that my towel?"

Blushing slightly Shalimar said, "Umm...yeah but I didn't want to use my zebra striped towel, I thought yours suited me better."

Without realizing it Emma's eyes flashed yellow as she grinned, "It suits you just fine."
