Chapter 4
Emma went with Anna and his son to the rec room Explaining to them that she had to find Adam to help him taking care of her friends, she told them where the kitchen was in case they would like to eat or drink something, she unfolds the bed in the rec room so they could rest of their eventful day... Anna doesn't say anything; she was holding her son, all tight in her arms. Emma feels the fear, which lives in the young woman, but doesn't have the urge to help her to surmount her fear, monopolized too much by the concern she has about her friends. She leaves the rec room and went to the laboratory.
In the laboratory, Jesse helps Adam to transfer Shalimar from the stretcher to the examination chair. Brennan stands back, slightly shaky on his legs, he leans on the table behind him, but doesn't want to move away of the young feline and especially doesn't want to lose her out of sight... It seems to him that if he moves away, she will not recover. He gets dizzy and is seeing stars, dancing in front of his eyes, forcing him to blink several times to get rid of them.
When they put Shalimar on the seat, totally stretched, Adam asks Jesse to take care of Brennan. A look towards the young man confirmed his fears. Sweat flows along his face, his look is haggard and he can see the legs trembling. The hit, he received on the head, could have some serious consequences.
Adam was strumming on his console to examine the scan of the young woman.
Adam: Brennan, lie down! Jesse is going to clean your wounds!
Brennan: No way, Adam! I want to stay here near Shalimar!
Adam: Brennan! You are going to let Jesse take care of you or I give you a sedative!
The anger, that Adam is feeling, bursts. To see two of his "children" getting hurt, it is too much. He understands what Shalimar means to Brennan, but he can't let this go. Brennan is surprised with the anger in Adam's voice and then he lies down on the second examination table. Adam prepares a sedative to avoid all kind of complications en injects it in the feline. For a moment he follows her cardiac rhythm and then returns to the computer again.
Jesse: Don't worry. You know that she is in good hands.
His voice is reassuring and he is convinced that nobody else then Adam could save their friends life.
Brennan feels bizarre since he lay down; a wave of nausea is in his stomach that he is trying to control; his head is buzzing and spinning again and again. When he closes his eyes he see all kinds of flashes. He brings, like a robot, his hands to his head and feels some kind of pressure.
Brennan: I am hurt in the head...
Suddenly he turns to one side, has some spasms like he wants to throw up, but nothing is coming out of his mouth......the nausea leaves and he lies back in order to get his breathing and the drums, which are playing in his head , under control.
Jesse is not reassured, suddenly seeing Brennan getting paler. The injury doesn't seem deep and he is trying to clean and bandage it. But the shock to the head should not have been as bad as it appears to be. He takes a pair of scissors and cut the t-shirt till Brennan's shoulder, which seems to hurt Brennan a lot. An enormous haematoma formed itself on his chest near the scapula. The bone must have come out, in the explosion to get back there, when Brennan was thrown to the ground... Jesse cleans the skin, before applying a heating, soothing balm on the injured part. He puts a very tight bandage in order to limit Brennan's movements and limit the pain.
During the whole time of the treatment, Brennan didn't move and just for one reason, he fainted...
Jesse: Adam!! Brennan fainted!
Adam, who was waiting in front of the computer for the complete results of Shalimar's scan, turns around hastily and approaches Brennan. He puts two fingers on his throat in order to verify his pulse. Steady and a bit fast. He raises his eyelids and shines a luminous bundle in there, to verify the reflexes of Brennan. They are very slow.
Adam: It is what I was scared of, he has a concussion. It is necessary, that he remains stretched and try to stop him from getting up, when he is getting conscious again.
Jesse: Is it serious?
Adam: in his case, I would say not too much. After the shock, he rose and walked, spoken in a coherent way until now, there is not serious damage. It is especially the shock, aggravated by the stress of the state of Shalimar. Let him take his rest. You have to watch him. He can get conscious anytime now. As soon I am finished with Shalimar, I do a scan of him, just for verification.
A beep lets him know, the computer is finished. He returns quickly to the screen to look the size of the damages....
Emma, just arrived in the laboratory, approaches Brennan and is concerned about the state, he is in... Jesse reassures her, while informing her of his state. Emma joins Adam, whose forehead is blocked of an anxious fold that seems to have not any good news then. He turns around to Shalimar, still unconscious and pale. Just the paleness already is making him afraid.
Emma: What does the scan say? Is it serious?
Adam: Let's say, her superficial injuries don't worry me much, even does her fracture to the leg. A good immobilization and lot of rest and she will be recovered for 100%. 'I hope so '.What worries me is the internal bleeding that I sensed. She has 2 broken ribs that provoked an abundant bleeding... fortunately her lungs have been saved, but that was close. I am going to cauterize the internal wounds and to heal her ribs. Then, what also worries me is the haematoma on her temple. I don't see anything on the scanner, but the injury is nasty and deep. I am going to pay a lot of attention on that, since it is very close to the eye. Her shoulder is dislocated and I should put it back in place easily. Her pulse is erratic enough and her tension low enough, because of the abundant loss of blood. I am going to give her a transfusion.
He speaks quickly, while preparing the material necessary, to his operations. Tension reads itself on his face, his hands usually so sure, shakes slightly...
Emma: I am going to make the drip Adam.
She takes the pocket of blood Adam had prepared and approach her friend.
Emma: Jesse, I need your help to remove her top...
Jesse arrives quickly, armed with a pair of scissors and begin to cut the small top that Shalimar liked so much....once getting rid of her garment; the body of Shalimar is only wounds and bruises. Emma and Jesse both feel the pain that radiates of this broken body...
Shaking the head to recover, Emma disinfects the skin, then installs a catheter in the left arm of the young woman and put tape on it to fix it solidly. She suspends the pocket of blood then on the gallows, that is behind the seat of examination and binds it to the catheter, she adjusts the pace of it, so that it doesn't flow too quickly. Behind her, Adam is still agitated, he knows that the time is ticking, but the fear tortures him and brings back his uncertain gestures... he tempts to delay the deadline, but it catches up, when Emma 's voice is bringing him back to reality.
Jesse stays back, seeing Emma act, wanting to help her, but not knowing how to do it... he returns close to Brennan to check his state. Seeing two of his best friends, especially in this state is very hard to him, knowing them so quick and alert....
In the rec room, Anna finally decides to get settled on the sofa, still holding her son in her arms, feared of losing him, when she releases him. She looks down on her child's face and meet his eyes, so blue... his father's eyes, his father's face, his father's powers... in the beginning these powers had frightened her, she was just an elementary mutant, could not suspect the power of a mutant psionic and during the whole pregnancy, she prayed so that her child is not a mutant... or not a psionic like his father.
Adam finally decides to react and bend over to Shalimar to put a sterile sheet on her chest. He absolutely must stop the internal bleeding and have to place the broken ribs back.
Adam: Emma, while I take care of her ribs, I would like you to supervise her electrocardiogram, the anaesthesia should have effect her the whole time, but I don't want a surprise. Also supervise her breathing, I feel it but it is weak. If you need the oxygen mask, it is on you right and ready to use.
Emma knows that Adam tries to win time, while he speaks.
Emma: Don't worry Adam, it is going to be ok, you are going to do what is necessary. I remain nearby just to supervise. Just take care of her bleeding for the meantime.
Her voice is soft and soothing. She cannot stop passing her hand through the hair of her unconscious friend, murmuring some encouragement words...
