A Mission for 2

I'm just laying down in my room calmly, trying to let the music flood my senses and force out any of my worries. Including Emma, but what worries me is that I can't seem to get her out of my head. She stuck on me; the tension is beginning to be too much. I know that I should talk to her but I can't, I can't even imagine what she's going to say to me when I ask her.

I know that Emma's quite the open-minded gal; hell she'd have to be to be a Psionic. I didn't even know that she was gay! Maybe she isn't, maybe she's just bi like I am. Apparently. I don't know, maybe this is me in heat after denying the urge to screw some guy. Maybe since I have been fighting this heat for so long, maybe this itch needs to be scratched so badly that I'm willing to screw not only a girl, but also my best friend.

"Shit" I growl as I try to fight out the images of Emma's extremely attractive features, especially that mind-blowing grin of hers. I turn onto my stomach and try to calm myself down when I sense someone at the door about to knock, I try to ignore the fact that I can tell that it's Emma and that I'm suddenly excited to see her.

"Shalimar" Emma says in an almost to casual tone, as I'm suddenly a wear that I'm clutching the bed sheets and wishing that Emma would come in and take her clothes off.

Stop it Shalimar! Jesus, what the hell is going on with you? I say to myself as I shut my eyes and try to control myself. "Adam wants to see us, ok Shalimar. Can you turn down that music?"

I'm brought back to reality and realize just how loud my music is, so I turn it down and hear Emma say, "Thanks. So I'll see yeah in the lab in about, well, 5 minutes?" I now have my face cradled between my arms as I listen to Emma's sweet voice, I decide that I should respond so I tilt my head upwards and rest my chin on my for-arms. I think of what she's doing on the other side of the door, I can imagine that she's biting her bottom lip and crossing her arms.

I smile at the familiar stance before responding, "Ok Emma, I'll be there in 5", a small sigh of relief escapes Emma's lips from the other side of the door before replying, "alright Shal, I'll see you there." And then she leaves me here to fight back a smile and thoughts of her.

5 minutes later I find myself standing beside Adam trying to keep me eyes glued to the monitor and not Emma's deep blue eyes. I feel her eyes watching every move and every breath I take as I try to follow along with Adam's plan. "Ok, ladies, it's as simple as that. Get in, look around, find that disk and hurry back. No mistakes or you'll be in deep trouble with the guards that'll be posted throughout the area." Adam explained as I tried to keep my mind on him.

"So what's the deal with this disk Adam? What's it for?" I ask as I steal a glimpse of Emma who's still staring at me, I look away as casual as I can to pay more attention to Adam. "Well, this disk has very important information on two classified mutants used as body guards for the president.

No one knows about them, obviously, and they are quite dangerous. Also very powerful and mean to, so be extra careful, we need this disk so that we can have some sort of weapon that will dismantle them permanently and effectively without any of us spending time in a cast."

I smile at Adam's warning before replying, "well you don't have to worry about us Adam, we're tuff, young and sexy women with powers. I'm sure that we can weasel our way through and get what we came for and get the hell out of there before trouble comes calling." Adam smile and lets out a few chuckles as he nodes his head in approval, "yea I'm sure you two will do fine. Just look after each other and don't let anything happen to that disk!"

"Sure thing Adam, consider it done!" I reply as I nod my head while I mimic Adam's previous movements, "ok, very cute. Now get out there and don't come back till that disk is safe in Mutant X's hands," Adam stated as Emma and I walk to the door, "sure thing Adam!" Emma and I both say as we leave the lab and make our way to the Double Helix.

We're in the Helix and things seem to be ok, Emma and I are two busy piloting and finding our way to the location of the military base to really start a conversation. Which is great since I don't really feel like making conversation with Emma right now; mission first, then uncomfortable talk later, maybe.

"Ok, we are officially in mission mode, ready Emma" I ask as I land the Double Helix a safe distance away from the base and move to the back entrance, waiting for Emma to get out so I can put the invisibility cloak on the Double Helix. "Ready when you are Shalimar" Emma states as she flashes me a seductive smile while moving to tower behind me.

Ok things aren't going to go as smoothly as I would like it. And she had to flash that sexy grin of hers, damn it I'm in trouble. I say to myself as I press the button that will hide the Double Helix and wait for a moment to watch it disappear. "Ok, lets go" I say as I hurry along the path towards the military base's back entrance.

Emma follows me as I run to the door and pull out a small device that latches onto the door like a magnet as I wait to hear a soft clicking sound and then a deep followed by a green light appearing on the strange device.

I grab the device and put it in my pocket as I open the door slowly and watch for any signs of trouble. I feel Emma creep close to me as she tries to read the emotions of the people in the area, she taps me on the shoulder then whispers in my ear, "know one knows we're hear Shalimar, they don't suspect a thing." Without thinking my eyes flash to the feral yellow as Emma's hot breath tickles my senses.

As soon as I realize that my eyes are yellow I quickly try to calm myself as I slowly make my way through the door and down the long ghostly hallway as Emma follows me. I try to keep my senses alert as I try to listen for any signs that some one is coming, but I hear nothing so when I move to the door on the end of the hallway I open it and move to the right as I try to avoid the line of sight of the camera directly in front of me.

I was lucky that time I say to myself as I move to the other wall and wait for Emma to make it across the room as she, for some reason walks straight through the line of sight of the camera. I mouth the words, "what are you doing?" as she smiles at me while she moves towards me. She leans in and says, "It can't see us because it's blind" she smirks as I realize what she means, wow she's useful, I say to myself before asking, "Your abilities can work on camera's to?"

She smirks and replies, "not on the camera, but the security guard who's watching." And with that she moves towards the door and slowly opens it. After a moment I follow her and try to remember where exactly we are and were the main office would be, where the disk would be safely hidden.

After a while of looking around and trying to find the main office, we stumble across the right door and go inside to find a fat balding man in uniform slumped over in his chair asleep. "Ok, someone didn't call Jenny" I joke as Emma hit's me playfully and I give her a shocked look as I smile. Emma looks around the office as I keep my eyes on the man asleep in his chair, after a moment Emma whispers in my ear, being careful not to wake the man. "I got the disk, lets go."

I nod and try to ignore the effect of her whispering as we leave the office and retrace our steps to exit the base safely and undetected. We make it to the Double Helix as I press the button to make it reappear, we enter the Double Helix and Emma presses the button that closes the door as we prepare for take off.

The ride back home wasn't as peaceful as I would have liked it, since Emma seemed to enjoy watching me squirm under her not so innocent stare. I found it almost impossible to think about anything other than Emma's beautiful eyes and amazing brown longish hair as it moved triumphantly with every movement she made.

Things didn't get any more easier when I heard her ask, "is everything alright Shal, you seem a little distracted." "What? Oh, no I'm just thinking. Didn't get to much sleep last night, so I'm pretty whipped and out of it right now." I say as I try to laugh off the uncomfortable tension that's clouding the air around us.

"We don't talk as much anymore Shal, I miss you" Emma says as I can literally feel her eyes drop to the floor and her hands loosely holding the other. I struggle for the right words to say, but I'm just so incredibly lost and confused, I fear that what I want to say will clash with what I should say. I don't want to open my mouth and hurt her feelings, cause God know I can say stupid things when what I want to say clashes with what I should say.

So I say nothing as we wait in silence to reach Sanctuary and go our separate ways
