Please read and review!
Jesse sat on his bed, his mind wandering. Ever since he and Emma had their secret moment, his love for her increased. It was as if that one kiss changed everything. If only she knew how he felt about her.
I should tell her.
With that, he left his room and went into hers. Unfortunately, she was in the shower. Jesse hated himself for wanting to take a look at her. I'm acting like Brennan, he thought. Why did he hate Brennan so much? Was it because Brennan loved Emma as well? Or was it because Jesse knew he had no chance at getting Emma if Brennan was there?
"Earth to Jesse?"
Jesse blinked and came out of his deep thoughts. He saw Shalimar standing a few feet away from him. There was a smirk on her face.
"What were you thinking about?" she asked, coming closer to him. He backed away, not sure why.
"Um, nothing. Just computer stuff. You know, the boring things." He hoped she believed him, but who was he kidding?
"Oh? Really? So does that mean you're too busy to go to a club tonight?"
Jesse smiled. "I'm never too busy to meet girls!"
Emma sat at the bar and watched as Shalimar danced and enticed every man in the club. If only she could do that.
With your enhanced abilities, you could. It was the Voice again.
No thanks. I prefer to let men choose who they want.
Fine. If you won't, I will.
Emma felt a strange feeling grow inside of her. Suddenly, her mind and body were not hers anymore. The Voice had control of her. She, or rather the Voice, got off the stool.
"Where are you going?" Brennan and Jesse asked in unison.
"To go dance." Brennan and Jesse looked at each other. Emma was not one known to dance. And with Shalimar on the dance floor, Emma wouldn't stand a chance at meeting guys. But what would happen next would make the boys think twice. As soon as Emma got onto the dance floor, half the men in the club surrounded her.
What are you doing? Emma thought as she danced with a muscular blonde.
Nothing. I just got onto the dance floor for you. You see, you were too afraid to take a chance. I tricked you into thinking I was going to control the men, but in truth, you are. You can trust me. I would never do anything to hurt you. I am, after all, you.
Emma ignored the last comment and smiled as a man with messy black hair came up behind her. Soon, more men came towards her and away from Shalimar.
"That girl can dance," Shalimar said, joining the guys at the bar.
"I know," Jesse said, glimpsing Emma wrap her arms around the muscular blonde.
"You think she's controlling them?" Brennan asked. He did not like to see Emma dancing with all those men.
"She can't be. Not all of the guys danced with her. When I came off the dance floor, a few guys left. If they were being controlled, they would never leave." Shalimar gestured to Emma's entourage.
"I'm going in," Brennan said. He wanted to get Emma away from the drooling schoolboys. He pushed his way in and grabbed Emma by the arm. She tried to protest but he gave her a look that said, "Shut up." They all left.
Emma sat in her room, thinking about how much she hated Brennan right now.
How dare he shatter my perfect moment? I finally was able to get guys away from Shalimar without using my powers and he ruined it. Well, I'm going to go give that son of a bitch a piece of my mind.
Emma walked into Brennan's room and was dumbfounded. There, on the bed, lay Brennan and Shalimar, kissing as if the world depended on it. She felt embarrassed and angered. She cleared her throat, interrupting their clearly lustful moment.
"Emma," Shalimar said, wiping her mouth.
"Em? Are you okay?" Brennan asked. He felt very guilty about how he had acted towards her at the club.
"I was until now. Tell me Brennan, were you thinking of Shalimar when you slept with me? Or did you do that so that I wouldn't hate you as much. Because right now, I want to kill you and bring you back to life so that I can kill you again!"
"You slept with her!" Shalimar exclaimed. "What about us?"
"Um, Shal? I believe we were on my problem, not yours. Or does the entire world have to stop for the little princess?" Whoa. Where did that come from? Emma thought.
"Emma?" Shalimar gasped. She got off the bed and ran past her, tears running down her cheeks. Emma stared at Brennan, a psionic sphere already forming.
"Emma, look. I didn't mean to sleep with you. No, wait! That came out wrong. I did mean to sleep with you, but I didn't mean for you to see this." He knew that whatever he said would make her more upset so he stopped talking.
"In that case," Emma said, smiling, "I didn't mean to do this!" She sent the sphere at Brennan and he fell on the bed, unconscious.
"Sweet dreams."
Adam was working in his lab when Jesse walked in.
"How's everything going?" Jesse asked, leaning against the wall.
"Good. Do you know where Emma is?" Adam asked, trying to hide his smile.
"No. Why?"
"Because I have just created a device that will be able to neutralize her new abilities and tone them back down to their original power."
Jesse was shocked. How could he have been so stupid as to think that Adam would not have a solution? "What's it called?" he asked.
"There is no special name to it. I call it the 'Genetic Nullifier.'" He gestured to a small ray gun on the table. It had several wires protruding from the middle into the blaster. "It creates an electro-magnetic shock that stops mutation and nullifies abilities. In Emma's case, it will just decrease her abilities." He picked it up and went looking for her. He found her in the kitchen. He called everyone out.
"What's up?" Shalimar asked, her tears gone. She was back in her cheery mood and was not angry at Emma, but at Brennan.
"I have found a way to cure Emma."
"Are you telling me I have a disease? That my new and heightened abilities are some medical disorder? You are clearly mistaken if you think that. Besides, I don't want to be 'cured.'" Emma started to walk away when Adam pulled the trigger. She saw the spark out of the corner of her eye and put her hand up. The sparks danced on her fingers as she played with them.
"Are you forgetting that I'm a powerful telekinetic?" she asked. With a look of hatred she sent the spark at the ray gun. It exploded, sending Adam flying into the kitchen table.
"Emma!" Shalimar exclaimed.
"Goodnight." She sent a telepathic blast and made the entire team go unconscious.
So, what do you think? Should Emma start to drift away, or should she give up her powers. Also, should she continue her relationship with Brennan or start a new one with Jesse. There is also the option of having a relationship with both and starting a love triangle. Please read and comment. Tell me how you think the story should go. Thanks! =)
