Shalimar assisted Emma onto the bed and she immediately put her feet up looking forward to a little relaxation after being subjected to Adam's tests.

"You rest here. I'll fix you some pancakes," Shalimar informed.

If nothing else, Shalimar's care for her was the only thing making Emma feel comfortable and at home and she smiled at her friend's thoughtful gesture.

"Thanks."

"When you get a handle on your memories I want you to review my dreams with me. I want you to take a long at what I've been seeing. Help me piece it together."

"I'd be happy to," Emma said with a smile. "As soon as I can piece myself together that is."

Shalimar smiled and reached out to grip Emma's arm before making her way to the door and heading down the hall. It was hurting her watching Emma suffer with her memories and with all that had been happening to herself lately she could certainly understand where she was coming from.

Emma lie sprawled out on Shalimar's bed trying to get the little pieces floating around in her head into some sort of order. She huffed in frustration knowing it wasn't any use and was only giving her a headache the more she tried.

"Well, Rome wasn't built in a day," she reminded herself out loud.

Suddenly her mind tapped into the presence of someone outside the door. She listened to it closely trying to determine the identity of the figure she was sure was on the other side.

Before she could place the visitor the door was soon opening and Jesse stepped into the room. Deciding that three steps was more than enough he stood firmly in his place, a blank look coming over him as he stared at her.

"Hi, Jesse," she finally greeted when all he offered was silence.

Jesse took a breath. She sounded exactly like Emma. He thought for a moment contemplating if he was really ready for this moment. He didn't anticipate how much like Emma she would be and the more he thought about it the more he realized how stupid that was of him. After all, she was an exact clone. She was Emma recreated.

"Hi," he offered slowly. He looked to the floor and tried to hide the fact he was diverting his eyes from her but she noticed, the action slightly stinging her insides that her own friend wouldn't look her in the eye.

"I've missed you," she offered, smiling sweetly though he wouldn't have noticed at his refusal to meet her eyes with his own.

The words stuck a nerve inside the blonde and he took in another deep breath now sure he wasn't ready for this. He wanted to tell her he'd missed her too. Wanted to run over and wrap his arms around her. She was Emma after all. But he knew better. He knew she was lacking something Emma had and couldn't get his mind past the unnerving fact no matter how hard he tried. Why couldn't he just let himself pretend? Shalimar was in love with her and she could do it. Why couldn't he?

Jesse finally lifted his eyes to hers. God, she was Emma alright. But no carbon copy is 100 percent perfect and it was minimal but he could see the difference. He could see it in her eyes. What Emma always had there and what she held as well yet not nearly as much as the original had. How could Shalimar look at her and not miss Emma?

Emma could feel his pain now and it was breaking her heart. She slid from the bed slowly as if Jesse was a timid rabbit she didn't want to frighten away with any sudden movements and stood herself before him awaiting his move.

"I've missed you too," he finally spoke, not only wanting to tell her so but wanting to free himself of his feelings. Maybe, just maybe, he could understand why Shalimar felt better at her presence. She had what Emma always had, a glow about her that bounced off her and brightened up all those around her. He'd missed that at Sanctuary, unable to deny how dim the place became after her death. He looked up, content for a brief moment just to stand before her and bask, forgetting for a second she wasn't 100 percent Emma.

He had to admit he was amazed by the woman. He'd missed the woman he called team mate, friend, for so long and just to have her before him now was almost enough to make him forget the incident had ever happened. But you never really forget something like that. It still probed deep inside his mind, his heart, despite how much he'd wish it away it was always there, but now so was Emma.

He tried to focus on just her, reaching a hand out to place it on her shoulder as if he had to touch her to see if she was really there. He almost seemed surprised when his hand landed against her and he looked back into her eyes to question it.

Emma smiled back at him, not a big smile, just enough to light an astrodome if needed and he couldn't help but allow a slight hint of one to come across his own lips.

It was comforting to see her before him and he was soon forgetting everything else, letting himself revel in the enjoyment Emma had always brought him and transferring all his feelings for the psionic onto the woman before him, onto Emma.

Seeing the moment as a chance to reconnect with her friend, Emma leaned in to pull him into a close hug, smiling against his shoulder when he didn't pull away but instead let her embrace take him in fully. He rubbed his hands along her back allowing the woman to comfort his hidden wounds and he took a deep breath of her air, allowing himself to smile at having his friend back in his life.

Finally, pulling herself back Emma looked into the telling eyes of the blonde man, his sadness and joy awakening something inside her and she opened herself to it, connecting their minds.

Jesse gasped as all Emma's confusion and love entered his consciousness. She told him with her mind how much she wanted to be there at Sanctuary and how much she appreciated everyone's love for her and all she wanted was to be accepted again.

"Jesse," Adam interrupted the moment and Emma broke their connection.

Jesse took a moment to catch his breath and get control of the situation before answering.

"Yeah, Adam, I'm here,"

"I want you to come to the lab as soon as possible."

"Alright. I'll be right there," he answered just finally getting his breathing and thoughts straight.

Jesse looked up to Emma and a questioning look came over his innocent face.

"You have powers?"

"Well, yeah, I mean I am Emma," she answered.

"Yeah," he replied his voice a little lower that time and he turned to the door. "I gotta go."

"See ya later."

"Yeah."

Jesse left the room passing Shalimar on her way in as he did so.

Shalimar walked into the bedroom looking at Jesse as he walked down the hall. Shutting the door she immediately turned her attention to Emma.

"Hey. What was that all about?" she asked placing a hand on Emma's shoulder.

"Jesse and I were just catching up."

"Oh. Well here sit down I made you some breakfast," Shalimar informed gesturing to the bed.

Emma sat herself back against the headboard and Shalimar set herself beside the psionic, lifting a TV tray to place over Emma's legs. Emma smiled down at the pancakes and eggs the feral had prepared for her and Shalimar set the glass of orange juice on the nightstand.

"Thanks for always taking care of me," Emma said smiling lovingly at her feral friend.

Shalimar scooted herself back against the headboard beside her friend turning her head to the psionic a few inches from her own face.

"I always will."

"I know," Emma replied her smile now brighter than ever.

Jesse headed into the lab as per Adam's request to find him analyzing at the computer.

"Hey, Adam, what's up?"

"Jesse, I want you to come take a look at this," Adam replied looking back to the screen before him.

Walking over to the monitor Jesse glanced down to see the suspicious looking connection from Sanctuary.

"What is that?"

"I think it's some kind of a call made from Sanctuary. Do you have any idea what it is?"

Jesse looked over the information and shook his head.

"No, I've never see anything like that. This is from last night? Did you try and track it?"

"Yes but it's not easy. This frequency was outgoing. I barely got a read on it but it has some kind of cloaking device designed to hide it's transmission."

"You think you can crack it?"

"Well, it'll take some time but I'd love to get to the bottom of whatever's being sent out of here and to whom. I need to look over some more of Emma's tests can you take a look into that?"

"I'm on it," Jesse replied parking himself at the screen and getting straight to work.
