Deng, I keep forgetting that I'm supposed to thank "over it" for all the nice reviews. It's just that I have written it in the "complicated love" chapter, but I got a minor writers block there so it never gets out and I'm ashamed I forgot it in the previous chapter of this one too, so I wrote it now (even before I wrote this chapter) "Over it" Thank you so much for your appreciation of my work. It means a lot to me that you always give me positive feedback because I'm really unsure about my work so it's nice to see someone who really likes it Thank you so much ;- )
AN: So sorry it's short, but I'm having a minor writers block on this one too at the moment. Hopefully I'll have more soon.

Emma woke up to a sleeping feral snuggled against her. She was relieved that the headache was gone and slowly moved so she could see what time it was without waking Shalimar. She gasped when she saw it was eight.
"Have I been sleeping for eight hours?" she asked herself and was startled when the blonde started mumbling. "No, it's eight in the morning."
"What?" Emma said higher than she meant to, making Shalimar jump slightly, her eyes shooting open. "I've been asleep for eighteen hours?"
"Guess you were really not feeling well huh? Adam said that he wanted you in the lab so he could take some tests on you to see if you have an infection or a virus or something."
"You told him?"
"What was I supposed to do? It was the only way I could let you sleep."
"I know. Thank you."
"How are you feeling?"
"Much better." Her stomach growled. "I really need some food though."
"Sure, I'll come with you."

Emma was just done eating when Adam walked in.
"Emma I want to take make sure you're okay right now. Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because it wasn't a big deal Adam. I'm fine."
"Yeah, we'll see about that once the tests are done."
Adam and Emma walked into the lab and the psionic hesitated when she saw Jodi tied to a chair.
"Come on, let's get those tests done," Adam said as he motioned for Emma to sit down.
Emma looked up at Jodi's face and saw she had a black eye.
"You have a very sensitive girlfriend," Jodi said snickering.
"What? Oh right, Shal." Emma said, her mind elsewhere. "You probably deserved it anyway," she added and sat down to let Adam take the tests he wanted.
All the time that Emma stayed in the lab she could feel Jodi's eyes on her. Curiosity getting the better side of her, she opened her mind to see how Jodi was feeling, but quickly blocked it out again with disgust and horror. When Adam said he was done, she practically ran out of there.
Shalimar was walking towards her room when she heard running footsteps. She turned around and stumbled when a body collided with hers.
Emma was hugging her tightly and the blonde wondered what had happened.
"Are you okay?"
"I'll be fine," Emma said as she loosened her grip a little.
"What happened?"
"Nothing, don't worry."
"Emma," Shalimar said, looking at her sternly.
"Shal," Emma said back playfully.
"Not funny." The feral said as she pretended to pout.
"I'm fine so don't worry. Let's do something fun."
"Like what?"
Emma grinned as she captured the blonde's lips in a fierce kiss.
Shalimar moaned and started pulling Emma with her. "Very good suggestion," she said between kisses as she continued to steer the psionic towards her bedroom.

They emerged a few hours later to a very agitated looking Adam.
"Is everything okay?" Emma asked.
"Jodi is constantly trying to get free and I don't know how to interpret the results of your tests." He said with a sigh.
"What do you mean?" Shalimar asked worried.
"Exactly what I said. She can be fine or not, but the tests don't show either."
"So what are you gonna do with Jodie?" Emma asked, trying to get their attention on to something else.
"I still think you should try talking to her."
"Honestly Adam, there's nothing we can do for her. She's just psycho."
"How can you be so sure?"
"I just know okay," Emma said getting angry at the older man's faith in everyone.
"And is this a professional or personal opinion?"
"Both," Emma snapped at him as she shuddered.
Shalimar noticed and laid a hand around Emma's waist.
"She's right Adam."
Adam sighed in defeat.
"Fine. I guess we'll send her back to the institution."
"That's not enough Adam. She'll escape and come after me again."
"I don't want to put her in stasis, it's not fair to her."
"Oh, but her stalking me and wanting to rip off my clothes and harass me till I scream is fair?" Emma asked with her voice raised.
"What?" Shalimar said angry.
"Just forget it," Emma said irritated and moved out of the blonde's grip before quickly walking off.
Shalimar looked after her and then turned back to Adam, flashing her eyes furiously even though it wasn't necessarily directed at him only. "You're making a mistake," she said before turning and running after Emma.
"Hey Emma, wait," Shalimar said as she ran up to the psionic.
"Leave me alone."
"You know I can't do that. I want to help you."
"Then stay away from me because I really don't need all your jealousy and worrying on top of Jodi."
The feral stopped walking and looked at Emma with sad eyes, but the red head didn't notice as she just continued walking.
