"God! They make me sick." Shalimar said annoyed watching the couple in front of her. Brennan and Emma were on the couch barely able to keep their hands off each other.
"Get a room!" Jesse shouted keeping his eyes on the computer. He grimaced as Shalimar smacked him upside the head.
"Oww, what was that for?" He asked looking up.
"Don't encourage them!" She said harshly.
"Well at least now they're controlling themselves." He said looking over at the two. Now they were just cuddling and giggling.
"Oh..yeah..much better. Thanks Jesse. Not only am I sick, but now I want to gouge my eyes out." She said walking away from him. On her way out she and Emma briefly locked eyes. Shalimar paused for only a second before continuing on.
"I hate her! I hate her!" Shalimar screamed punching the bag as hard as she could. 'No you don't' said her subconscious.
"Shut up! I didn't ask for your opinion."
'my opinion is your opinion, so in your opinion, you don't hate her.'
"Yes I do." She said furiously kicking the bag. In doing so she lost her footing and fell on the mat.
"Dammit!" she cried punching the ground. 'you're only kidding yourself. don't think I didn't notice you hesitate on your way over here.'
"Didn't I tell you to shut it!" She stood up and started at the bag again. 'you're thinking about it aren't you? That look she gave you.'
"Well it doesn't mean anything! Especially when she gives Brennan that same look every fucking day!" This time, she hit the bag so hard it fell off the chain. "Dammit!" she screamed again storming out.
After a hot shower and a new set of clothes, she was finally able to just sit on her bed and relax. For about five minutes before Adam summoned everyone on their comm rings. Sighing she stood up and headed for the door. It just wasn't her day.
She was the first to enter the lab, then Brennan, Jesse and finally Emma. Adam typed a few things into the computer before starting.
"It seems, according to one of my contacts, that Eckhart may be after a new mutant. A small boy by the name of Henry. He's eight years old and lives with his father.
My contact tells me that he's an elemental. With his powers beginning to reveal themselves he's been put on the mutant radar at Genomex. His father has requested to be put into the underground. I want Emma and Shalimar to go pick them up."
"What!" Shalimar blurted out."You must be joking."
"Is there a problem?" Adam asked confused.
"Yes...No...I just think one of the guys should go with Emma."
"Is there something I should know?" Adam asked looking at both women.
"Everything's fine." Emma said looking at Shalimar.
"Fine, whatever. Give us the address." Shalimar said suddenly impatient.
"Here," he said handing her a note. "Call in if you need any help" he said eyeing her suspiciously. She took the note and stalked out of the room.
"I'll see you later." Emma said kissing Brennan then walking out after Shalimar.
"Is Shalimar okay?" Adam asked the guys.
"Yeah, she's mad at Emma. Jesse knows why. Right Jess." Brennan smiled clapping the younger man on the shoulder.
"What would give you that idea?" Jesse asked him.
"She hasn't told you?" Brennan asked him.
"She told me not to tell." Jesse said grinning, leaving the room. Brennan and Adam exchanged looks, both wondering what it was those three were hiding.
"Get a room!" Jesse shouted keeping his eyes on the computer. He grimaced as Shalimar smacked him upside the head.
"Oww, what was that for?" He asked looking up.
