Disclaimer: I am a proud own of twenty-five cents. Other than that, I
really don't own much. Not Mutant X anyway. If I did, I would share it with
all those writing fics so they wouldn't have to write disclaimers anymore.
I seriously thought this would be up a lot sooner. I apologize for that. In exchange, this chapter is a bit longer than some of the others. Enjoy! :D
Chapter Four: Pizza!
"We're here." Jesse said as he parked the car. Jesse took the key from the ignition, and opened his door. "You ready for this?" The molecular asked getting out. "Yeah, I just hope this works." Emma said, getting herself out of the vehicle. The two mutants entered the pizzeria and sat down.
"Can I get you something?" a man wearing a red shirt with 'Mario's Pizzeria' inscribed on it, asked. "Sure." Jesse said smiling. "We'll have a large pepperoni and a large cheese." Jesse ordered. "Coming right up." The man said and walked away. Emma sighed and looked at Jesse.
"What I'm hungry!" Jesse said. "And besides, he's not even here yet." Emma nodded but then looked confused. "What?" Jesse asked, noticing Emma's confusion. "Why did you order two pizzas?" she asked. "I told you I was hungry!" Jesse said laughing. "Pig." Emma said quietly while fighting back laughter of her own.
"I am hungry, but I decided to be nice and bring Brennan home some." Jesse explained. "That's nice, but I'm sure he wants more than one piece." Emma said. "I don't eat that much!" Jesse said a little louder than he intended. "I believe that." Emma said sarcastically. Jesse glared at her. "What is this? Pick on Jesse day?" He asked her. "Hey, not a bad idea." She said smiling. Jesse groaned and buried his head in his hands.
"Jesse, look." Emma said shaking Jesse's arm. "He's here." Jesse lifted his head to see Emma looking towards Keith. Emma waved for him to come over, and he did. Sitting himself across from Emma and Jesse, he made himself comfortable before looking towards them.
"So you're Mutant X." Keith said as more of a statement then a question. "Only half." Jesse said. "I'm Jesse, and this is Emma." He said putting his arm around Emma's shoulders. Emma smiled at Jesse's act and rendered a quiet hello. "And your powers?" Keith asked eagerly.
"I'm a telempath. I can sense and manipulate feelings and emotions." Emma explained. "And I'm a molecular. I can change myself and things that I touch to intangible or massive." Jesse said. "I see. So where is this feral of yours?" Keith asked looking around.
"We'll take you to her soon." Emma said. "Yeah, once I get my pizza." Jesse explained. Keith nodded and advanced the conversation. "So what exactly is happening to her?" Keith asked. "She's become violent." Emma said in short, touching the bandage on her forehead. "She's mutated way out of our control." Jesse explained.
Keith nodded. "Is there somebody with her right now?" he asked. "Yeah, but we have her on a sedative, so he's safe." Keith nodded yet again. "What type of feral is your friend anyway?" Keith asked looking from Emma to Jesse.
Just then the waiter approached them with the pizza. "Here you are." He said with a smile. "That'll be $12.18." Jesse dug into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet. Pulling out a twenty, he handed it to the man. "Keep the change." Jesse said, not wanting to wait around any longer. "Have a nice day." The man said and walked away.
Once he was out of hearing range, Emma answered Keith's question. "She's a feline feral." Emma said. "Ah, yes. The most common." Keith stated a pointless fact. "Well, let's go." Emma said. "I don't want to waste time I'm not sure we have." She said. The others agreed and filed out of the booth.
"We're taking our car. You can leave yours here until later, and we'll drop you off to pick it up then." Jesse said leading the way to the car. Jesse got in the driver's seat and started the car. Emma got in the passenger seat, and watched Keith help himself to the back seat behind Emma. The pizza sat behind Jesse, in the vacant seat. Jesse pulled out of the parking lot and onto the road.
The car ride was generally quiet, with the occasional short conversation. When they were close to Sanctuary, Emma turned around in her seat to face Keith. "This is a visual cloak." Emma said, holding out her finger with a clear piece of plastic on it, slightly bigger than a quarter.
She reached out and applied the cloak to Keith's temple. His eyes turned a murky white and he lost his sight. "What's going on?" Keith asked, nearly panicking. "It's just so our secret stays a secret. We'll take it off once we're inside." Emma said, knowing how he felt. Keith just nodded and sat still.
Jesse pulled into Sanctuary and parked the car. Reaching back, Jesse peeled the plastic off Keith's temple. When his vision returned, Keith blinked a few times and looked around. After Emma and Jesse, he exited the car. The three entered Sanctuary and Keith's breath was taken away. "Th-this is where you live?" He asked, astounded. "Home sweet home." Jesse said waking towards the lab, pizza in hand.
Upon entering the lab, Jesse found Brennan holding the hand of the unconscious Shalimar. Brennan looked up at Jesse, practically in tears. Jesse cleared his throat. "Uh, hungry?" Jesse asked holding the pizza out in front of him. Brennan nodded. "Yeah." The elemental shook his head and returned to a casual mood.
"What took you guys so long?" Brennan asked, letting go of Shal's hand and standing up. "It had to cook." Jesse said referring to the pizza he set down on the counter. "Let's eat." Brennan said almost smiling as he opened the steaming box. Brennan picked up a piece of cheese pizza, but immediately dropped it.
He cleared his throat and looked at Emma. "Sorry, ladies first." Brennan said motioning for Emma to go. "Thanks." Emma said laughing. Grabbing the piece Brennan had previously picked up, she took a bite. "Mmmm. Brennan this is so good!" she teased.
"That's the last time I let you go first." Brennan said grabbing another slice of hot pizza. Taking a bit three times as big as Emma's he chewed about twice and swallowed. "This one's better." He bragged. Emma shook her head and moved so Jesse could reach the pizza. Jesse got a slice of pepperoni from the second box and looked at Keith.
"Want some?" Jesse asked before taking a large bit out of his slice. "Sure." Keith said and moved into the group of feasting mutants. Before he reached the boxes, Brennan cut him off. "Oh hi." Brennan said sticking out his grease-covered hand. "You must be Keith. I'm Brennan." He said, being oddly polite.
"Hi." Keith said with a nod. Ignoring Brennan's hand, Keith reached in the second box for a slice of pepperoni. The group eventually moved to the floor and got set up for a necessary meeting.
