Chapter 6: Psyonic Showdown

Emma stopped trying to fight it. She let herself be pulled down but she wasn't about to let this person, whoever it is beat her.

She had to meet them mind to mind, and she had an advantage, this was her mind and no one knew her mind better than she did.

Lexa could tell what Emma was doing but she wasn't going to fall for it so easily. She relaxed her grip on Emma's mind a little; she wasn't ready for a mind to mind meeting quite yet. She kept up the whispering though.

"I know what you're doing Emma, and it isn't going to work. You can catch me out so easily."

Adam was checking and rechecking every scan he'd done of Emma. He had an idea but he wasn't sure if it would work.

"I think there's a way we can help her fight whoever is doing this to her"

Adam looked at his team. They were all standing around Emma's bed, all except for Lexa. He'd tried to call her on her com-ring but she wasn't answering. He though she must have really needed to sleep.

"What is it?" Shalimar looked like she was ready to fight the universe for her friend.

"Well first we'd have to wake her up and get her to make a psyonic connection with one of us. Then when she falls asleep again whoever she connected with can help guide her through what's going on."

"I'll do it" the feral answered immediately.

Adam shook his head

"Shalimar I know you'd do anything to help Emma, but this is far too dangerous for you right now" he gestured towards her tiny bump. She looked like she would've liked to flatten him but she nodded anyway.

"I'll do it Adam" Jesse stepped forward and brushed his fingers through Emma's hair.

"You know this is going to be dangerous Jess. You could both be killed."

"I know. But if we don't do anything then Emma will die and I'm not ready to lose her, not again."

His eyes never moved from Emma's face.

"Ok Jess if you're absolutely sure"

Adam walked over and injected something into Emma's arm.

A few seconds later her eyes fluttered open, she looked exhausted and dazed.

"Adam?" she squeaked like a little mouse.

"Hey sleeping beauty. We've had an idea"

He explained the plan to her as Jesse stroked her hand.

"Jess you can't, it's too dangerous, I don't know what might happen in there."

"I know. I trust you completely. You'll keep me safe and I'll help you fight this."

She didn't look completely convinced but she was too tired and her head hurt too much to argue so she agreed.

Jesse sat in a chair facing Emma so they could keep eye contact while she made the connection.

"Ok Adam, our minds are linked, now what?"

"Now we just have to wait for you to fall asleep"

She didn't think they'd have to wait too long; she could hardly keep her eyes open. She stared straight into Jesse's grey-blue eyes as she fell asleep.

She was being pulled down again but this time she wasn't alone, Jesse was standing by her side.

"You're not wanted here" the whispering had started again.

"Don't listen Emma, its just someone trying to mess with you're head"

"You're nothing"

"Ignore it Em" "I'm trying but I don't think I'm strong enough"

"Yes you are Emma. You're the strongest person I know."

"They hate you Emma" "No we don't. We love you."

"You're supposed to be dead" "If you were supposed to be dead then you wouldn't be here"

They were going further and further down and the whispers were getting louder. So loud in fact that Jesse was sure he could recognise the voice.

"Leave Emma, no one wants you here"

"Jesse I don't think I can keep going."

"Yes you can" he took her hand.

They were almost at the bottom when Jesse saw someone standing there. He knew who it was but he couldn't quite believe it. Why would she want to do this to Emma?

How could she do this to Emma? Adam had said the person doing this was a psyonic.

"Lexa?" Jesse asked with a stunned look on his face.

"Dear sweet little Jesse. I should've known you'd end up helping her, following her like a puppy." She said this with what could only be described as an evil laugh.

"Why are you doing this to me?" Emma was beyond being shocked.

"I did warn you Emma. I told you I wasn't going to let you take my place on the team. The only thing I didn't tell you is that I'm a latent psyonic."

"You're what?" Jesse almost laughed. It was ridiculous. She couldn't be a psyonic. They would've noticed.

"Yes Jesse I'm a psyonic. My abilities aren't strong enough to be detected."

"But why do this to Emma? What's she ever done to you?"

"SHE CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD JESSE. And now she wants to take my place, she wants to take everything away from me. She's already taken Shalimar and Adam away from me" she started pacing like an animal.

Jesse couldn't understand it. This just wasn't rational, Lexa wasn't malicious like this. But how did he know that for sure, they'd only known her 6 months.

"Lexa come on, be rational about this, Emma hasn't intentionally done anything to hurt you" he was pleading with her.

"Jesse look at her, she insane." She tried to pull him back away from Lexa.

"YOU SHOULD'VE STAYED DEAD EMMA"

Lexa ran forward and grabbed her by the throat.

"You know, if I kill you in you're dreams you'll never wake up."

"I'm stronger than you Lexa"

"Oh really. You know he doesn't love you."

Emma lost her footing and fell as Lexa aimed a kick at her face.

"She's lying Emma. I do love you. I always have. Now GET UP AND FIGHT"

It was like someone had fired a starting pistol. Emma leapt up and fired 3 psy-blasts in a row.

"If I kill you in my dreams will you wake up?" she was standing over a clearly beaten Lexa.

"Jesse I think its time we woke up now don't you?"

They both woke up at the same time.

"Where's Lexa?" Jesse asked urgently

"She's sleeping. Why

"She's a latent psyonic Adam. She's the one who's been attacking Emma"

Shalimar and Brennan were already on their way to Lexa's room with Adam just behind them. When they got there she was lying on her bed with Emma's picture in her hands but she wasn't smiling any more.

"Will she wake up?" Emma was standing in the doorway leaning heavily on Jesse.

"I don't know. I'll have to run some scans before I know for sure."

A few days later Adam had the still unconscious Lexa moved to a hospital where a friend of his worked. She'd be safe there and more importantly she wouldn't be able to hurt anyone.

Emma had slept for almost 24 hours but she was getting better. She'd been spending a lot of time meditating, trying to forget Lexa's whispered words.

Jesse was sitting in the kitchen staring into space when she walked in.

"Hey Jess. Everything ok?"

"Fine. I was just thinking about stuff"

"Yeah. I've been doing a lot of that lately too. Can I ask you something?"

"Okay" she took a deep breath and asked him.

"Did you mean what you said in my dream, about loving me?"

"Of course I meant it. I fell in love with you the moment I first saw you, when you were running from the GSA. I just never thought you felt the same."

"I do Jesse. I love you."

He took her hand and kissed her like he had never kissed anyone before.

"Uh are we interrupting something?"

Shalimar, Brennan and Adam were standing in the doorway laughing.

"No you weren't interrupting" Jesse said

"I was just kissing my girlfriend."

He wrapped his arms around her waist as they kissed again.
