Why this must be read:

This is a brilliantly written AU of the episode "No Exit", one of my favourite Mutant X episodes. Also, it holds a lot of Jesse angst, and well it's just good to hurt Jesse sometimes!

Laily's Jesse and Brennan are fantastic and very in character.

Do Read This.. but beware, it has a Major Character's Death in it.

Excerpt:

Brennan frowned. “Hey, you okay, man? You sound-uh-kind of heated.”

Jesse resisted the urge to roll his eyes. And the urge to go ‘duhhh’. “Well, well, aren’t you the King of Obviousland.”

“Ok, fine, it’s boiling in here but that’s no reason to bite my head off.” Brennan sounded almost petulant. He fired another tesla coil at the door but this time with much less earnest.

Jesse sighed. “Sorry man.” He shook his head, amazed at the rate at which he was losing his cool. When he was supposed to be the more cool-headed one of the two. “My arm hurts.”

Brennan eyed the angry red belt-like welt encircling Jesse’s arm. “You’re gonna need some serious suturing for that.”

Jesse shook his head. “Right now some ice would be bliss. This thing burns.” He sighed and wearily laid his head down on the floor. Brennan did the same, lying down a few feet away. Jesse closed his eyes. Almost instantly, he wished he hadn't.
