Surprises All Around by Rosalie
Chapter Two
Brennan and Jesse had been flying for what seemed like forever to Jesse at least. Which surprised Jesse because Brennan must have been trying to break the sound barrier with how fast he was going. Jesse was just about to say something when Brennan started to slowdown.
"Are we there Brennan?" Jesse asked confused as looked at Brennan. Brennan just smiled and pointed out the window.
"Wow." was all Jesse could manage to say as he looked out the window of the Double Helix putting the book he was reading down.
"Yeah." Brennan said as he and Jesse continued to look out the window at the beautiful sight before them. The town of Jasper had trees all over the place and thousands of flowers. The animal population was quite obvious as there were tracks all over. There was a lake at one end of the town with a stream trickling through the town. ( Not a real discription) While they were looking Brennan had found an area where they could land without harming the nature around them.
Brennan let out a sigh as they landed. "It's only 3:00 and I'm already tired. I really go to talk to Adam. I got to sleep more."Aloud he said " All right Jess lets go find this kid. I want to get back to Sanctuary soon."
"All right, lets go but I want to look around here for something for Shalimar after, K."
Brennan frowned as he said " How serious are you guys getting. You two always seem to be together. It's getting a little creepy."
Jesse just smiled as left the Helix with Brennan in tow. "Your going to have to wait to find out the answer Brennan."he thought.

"Pass me the potassium please Emma."Adam mumbled as he continued to work on his experiment.
Emma sighed " Here" she said as she passed it to him. Emma was tired and becoming quite irritable. Adam had said he needed her help in the lab but she didn't think he meant all day. They had been working in the lab non- stop since 11:00 and it was now 3:00. Emma was getting mad because she couldn't spar with Shalimar although that's not exactly what she wanted to do. She wanted to talk to Shal about her And Jesse's plans for the wedding.
"Can I go now Adam? I've been here all day."she asked when Adam looked up moments later.
Adam sighed and looked at her. "I have been keeping her here all day."he thought before he said "You can go in a minute. I just need you and Shalimar to help me bring some things in from my car. If that's all right with you."
Emma smiled. "Yeah Adam that's fine."and them into her com she said "Shalimar can you help me and Adam carry some stuff into the lab from his car? The we can spar."
"Yeah, I'll be right there." came the immediate response from Shalimar who had been reading the poetry book she had borrowed from Brennan.
A few minutes later Shalimar joined the in lab. Adam was confused almost immediately because he thought Shal would have still been peeved at him for not letting her go with Jesse and Brennan. He dismissed the thought and said " All right let's do this quickly so you guys can go and do what ever it is girls do.
Shalimar and Emma smiled and turned to join him at the door. As Shalimar was walking she suddenly felt really nausea and dizzy. "Whoa, not again."she thought as she groped for something to hold on to. Emma, Who had turned around to ask Shalimar a question, noticed this and started to ask if she was all right but she never got to ask because Shalimar puked all over the floor and sank slowly to the ground.
"Adam!!"Emma yelled as she ran over to Shalimar, cautiously as to avoid the puke.
Adam looked over and was at her side almost before Emma was.
"Are you all right Shal?"they asked in unison.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I don't know what happened."she replied as she started to get up to go and clean herself up but Adam stopped her.
"Where do you think your going?" he asked but never let her answer before he continued "I want you to sit down in the chair while Emma and I clean this up and then I'm going to run some tests to make sure your okay."
Shalimar grumbled but complied and figured she should tell him the truth. "Uh, Adam. There's something I think I should tell you."
Emma looked up with a gasp and quickly said "Don't you think you should talk to Jesse first."
Adam who had finished cleaning up the mess looked dat the girls confused. "Well, was there something you wanted to say or not, Shal."
"Yeah, there is."she said while giving Emma an evil look, who just looked back at her sheepishly. 'I have been feeling bad for a couple of days and this isn't the first time I've thrown up either."
Adam looked at her sternly. "You have, have you and why might I ask haven't you told me this before.
"I just figured it was the flu os something and wouldn't last long. Was I wrong."
Adam sighed and looked at Shalimar. "I don't know but I really wish you would have told me." he said as he started the scanner. Several minutes went by before Adam looked up again. He couldn't find anything wrong with her. He was just about to tell Shalimar when a thought crossed his mind. " Jesse." Adam sighed and ran one more test on Shalimar, who was beginning to fall asleep, a pregnancy test.

Brennan and Jesse had been looking for Dan's address for a couple of hours now and all they had found was a couple of good stores. Jesse had found a book Shalimar had been looking for for quite a while and immediately bought it. Brennan on the other hand was getting quite grouchy and Jesse was worried that he was still having trouble sleeping. Jesse wished he would just go to Adam.
"Jesse let's tell Adam we couldn't find him and call it a day."
"All right Brennan. Let's go into that store first. Maybe they know him and where his address is. You might also be able to find a new poetry book."he said as he looked at Brennan and knew immediately he agreed.
They had been in the store for ten minutes and Brennan had finally found a book to buy. They were checking out when they saw Dan come into the store. Brennan and Jesse both looked at each other and were suddenly glad Adam showed them the photograph he'd gotten of Dan.
"Dan Marshals?" Brennan called out as they headed over to him.
Dan looked up startled and ran without a second thought. "Damn, I thought I got ride of all these guys."
He made it about three blocks before Jesse and Brennan caught up to him and grabbed him by the arms.
"Why did you run? We're the good guys."Jesse asked breathlessly.
"Oh really, who sent you?"
"Adam Kane sent us to bring you to him. We're part of Mutant X."Brennan replied.
Dan smiled slyly. "So your Mutant X. Good. Adam will pay for leaving mom to die. And here I thought Eckhart was checking up on me."Dan thought before he said "Your Mutant X. Thank God. I was beginning to think that my father wasn't as worried as he said about the G.S.A trying to capture me. Are you going to take me with you?"
"Yeah we are. Let's go."Jesse said looking at Brennan who was suspicious at how easy this was. They both communicated with a look and agreed something was up.
"Adam."Jesse called into his com-link.
" Yeah, Jesse."
"We have Dan and are on our way back to the Double Helix."
"All right. Did you guys have any problems?" Adam asked deciding to leave out what had happened with Shalimar.
"No problems at all Adam. It was a piece of cake. See ya when we get back, bye." Brennan answered before Jesse could.
"K, see you then."
Jesse, Brennan and Dan started walking toward the Helix when ten men dressed in black with stun guns surrounded them.
"Damn"Brennan thought aloud "Spoke too soon."
"Ya think."came Jesse's response as a G.S.A agent attacked him.
Before Brennan could answer they were throughly engaged in the battle with Eckhart's henchmen and neither noticed Dan slip away. Brennan dodged a right hook only to collide with a left. He shook his head and shocked the agents he was fighting with the charge he had been building up. This sent them all flying across the street into a wall but the victory was short lived as he was quickly faced with the back up that had arrived. He grumbled as he fought their feeble attacks off and looked at Jesse quickly.
Jesse had phased through a wall to come up behind the agents he was fighting. They were all slow to react to this and he quickly subdued them. All that is except for one who seemed to be Feral. Jesse was cautious around this one because he didn't want to find out if he was stronger than Shalimar. Jesse laughed aloud at the thought of this. The agent sneered at this and surprised Jesse by sending a shock wave at him knocking him to the ground unconscious after sending him a few feet back.
Brennan saw this and quickly finished off the agents he was fighting along with the rest and rushed over to him. "Shit" he thought "I hope he's all right." recalling Shalimar's threat. He was relieved to find that Jesse was already regaining consciousness.
"Are you all right?" he asked concerned for Jesse and also his own health.
"Ercth"Jesse mumble as he shook his head. "What happened? Did we win?"
Brennan laughed as he said "Yeah Jesse we did but let's get out of here. They're starting to get up."
"K" Jesse said as he got up wobbly and used Brennan to steady himself. "Wait! Where's Dan?"
Brennan looked around and realized Dan wasn't with them. "Wait. He's over there." Brennan thought as he saw Dan come out of the store they had been in earlier.
"He's over there, let's o get him and get back to Sanctuary. I think you have a concussion." Brennan said as he and a dazed Jesse started over to where Dan was.
