PARANOIA part 2
Emma studied Adam's face as he checked Jesse's still form - she didn't need to be psyonic to know how concerned he was.
"Adam what's wrong with him?" she asked when she couldn't take the silence anymore.
"It's a virus of some sort" Adam answered as he pulled up some files on the computer screen "Biological by origin, though I can't seem to figure out what it is."
"He was acting really strange Adam, he couldn't stand to be around me, I felt so much fear coming from him, absolute terror" Her voice trembled as she remembered the suffocating feeling
"I'm afraid that's the virus" Adam nodded "It seems to have triggered some kind of paranoia symptoms in him"
"We better get Shalimar and Brennan back here" Emma declared and turned to head for the communications consol.
"I don't think that's the best idea Emma" Adam stopped her "what ever has infected Jesse, it may be contagious, the less Shalimar and Brennan are exposed to it the better" He went over and laid a gentle hand on her shoulder "It'll be ok Emma, I promise"
SAFEHOUSE
Shalimar and Brennan entered the safe house along with the new mutant they just saved from the GSA
"We should be ok here for a while" Brennan smiled at the young girl, trying to put her at ease. Shalimar noticed that smile and had to stop herself from growling - she didn't like the way Brennan was looking at that girl, being so friendly and protective, she didn't like it at all.
She tossed her jacket on the arm of the chair and went over to the fridge, grabbing a bottle of water, when her com link came to life and Adam voice came on.
"Shalimar, how is everything?" he asked her
"It's fine" She said with a little bit of irritation "I told you we could handle a couple of GSA agents"
"Good. I'm gonna need you to stay there for a while, make sure no one else is after this girl before you leave her alone"
Shalimar nodded and clicked the connection off, she relayed the news to Brennan, who seemed way too happy about it for her taste and walked over to the other room. She lay on the couch, spreading her limbs as much as she could, trying to get some rest. Soon, sleep took over her.
SANCTUARY
Jesse ran as fast as he could, the voices around him were so loud they were almost deafening, but he couldn't understand what they were saying - or what they wanted with him.
He knew he was in Sanctuary, but everything was so dark he could not see his way. He kept stumbling, tripping over things, slamming into walls that he did not remember were ever there.
He felt someone touch his arm and turned around, but there was no one there - instead when he looked down on his arm he could see the flesh being eaten, as if he was touched by acid. Slowly his whole arm disappeared and he could feel the acid spreading to the rest of his body. Somewhere in the back of his frightened mind he realized that pretty soon he will disappear completely. Out of pure desperation he began to scream.
In her room, Emma was woken from her light sleep by the sound of Jesse's screams. She ran to the lab still in her pajamas and saw her friend twisting and turning in what was obviously a horrible nightmare. He had stopped screaming by then, but tears were still running down his cheeks and his mouth was still gapped in silent horror.
Without thinking Emma moved in next to him, lying on the table beside him and holding his hand, she closed her eyes and summoned the most pleasant dream she has ever had in her life, she let herself drift off to sleep still holding Jesse's hand, letting him share her dream.
Inside his nightmare, Jesse's surroundings dissolved and he could finally breathe.
