Adam shook his head and turned back towards the computer monitor. "Okay Emma, your scan is complete and your vitals are stable so why don't you and Shalimar go do something productive."
Shalimar gave Emma a mischievous grin while Emma arched her eyebrows in response. The redhead hopped off the chair and grabbed her friends hand and led her out the lab. Emma still held her hand as she practically ran down the hallway.
"Em, where are we going? Can you slow down?" Shalimar was trying her best not to let her feet trip up while almost running to keep up. The girls made it into the redhead's room and Emma shut the door. She then grabbed Shal's waist and pinned her to the door. Emma stepped closer to place her body up against the blondes. As they locked eyes Emma let out a soft growl which made Shal giggle nervously. Emma could tell that Shalimar was nervous so she gently brushed her lips against Shal's ear and purred, "We don't have to do anything you don't want to do, let's just take this slow. We have all the time in the world."
She gave Shalimar a gentle kiss on the cheek and looked back into her eyes. Shalimar sighed and whispered, "It's not that I don't want this, I, I do...but I'm not used to these emotions running in me... they are so strong for you... I mean, I can feel you...and I'm scared, I have never felt like this before...I just need to take it slow. She gave Emma an apologetic look. Emma brushed a golden strand from Shal's face and smiled.
"Shalimar Fox, I will wait forever for you." Emma could see the tears beginning to fill Shal's brown eyes. Emma pulled her into a tight hug. "Hey, hey don't cry baby...It's okay, I 'll do anything for you...you know that, right? I love you...that's not going to change." With that said Shalimar lost it and started to cry.
"I'm just so happy, I'm not sad...I don't know how you always kept calm, look at me... I'm a... I'm a mess."
Emma pulled out of the hug and gently began wiping the tears sliding down Shalimar's face. "Here come with me, lets go meditate together, it will help you relax. I'll show you some techniques that always helped me out."
Shalimar wrapped her hands around Emma's neck and pulled her into a kiss. When their lips touched Emma could feel tidal waves of love pouring out of Shalimar. It made her body warm and it felt so good that she didn't want this moment to end. Ever so slowly their kisses began to deepen. Their mouths opened up more and more until the tips of their tongues met. The kiss remained gentle as their tongues played. Emma carefully broke away from the kiss and smiled at Shalimar who still had her eyes closed. "Wow," Shalimar said as she opened her eyes.
"Come on, lets go and clear that head of yours." They walked out of Emma's room and towards the Dojo.
---------------------
Adam called Brennan and Jesse on their comm links to meet him in the lab. While he was waiting he stood in the doorway looking up into the Dojo. From afar he watched the girls meditate in silence. Moments later Brennan and Jesse were walking up. Adam motioned them to come inside the lab. "Tomorrow we have to find Tina, this is a top priority," Adam said with concern written all over his face.
Brennan crossed his arms over his chest, "Yeah we know this, but what aren't you telling us?"
Adam sighed heavily, "Emma and Shalimar are both fine, they are not in any danger...but, the longer they have each other powers the harder it will be to reverse this completely."
Jesse scrunched up his face, "What do you mean 'completely' Adam?"
"Shal will return to being feral but she will continue to have some psionic abilities in her genetic make up, and the same will go for Emma, she will be a psionic but with some feral in her. I don't know exactly what the percentages will be, so the sooner we get this reversed the better."
"Does Em or Shal know this?" asked Brennan.
Adam frowned and shook his head, "Not yet, they will soon. And another thing, for the mission tomorrow I may have Emma and Shalimar go with you two. They should approach Tina first...I don't need your powers to be switched as well."
"Are they ready to use their new powers if we get in trouble Adam, I mean I don't want to put them in more danger," Brennan said.
"That's why I said maybe, I will wait until tomorrow and see how confident they feel...so lets just wait and see. Now both of you should try and get some sleep, I need everyone in top form for the mission."
Brennan and Jesse looked at each other and then turned and walked out the door. Adam walked back to the doorway to watch his girls up in the Dojo. As he leaned against the doorframe and crossed his arms he prayed that everything could return to normal.
