The Black Sheep of the Family[A Jonas Sister Story]

Chapter Nine

Chapter Nine

Nick knew the second Emma came downstairs, something was wrong. Okay, maybe the giant-ass band-aid on her chin and Andrew basically running out of the door helped him come to that conclusion, but it was also something...mentally. After she told the boys about how she 'ran into a pole' on her way home and that Andrew was simply late for a date, she grabbed a slice of pizza and headed upstairs.

Nick knew that story was bullshit. It had to be from some 'super outing'. Heck, every little bruise she got, even if he saw her bumping into the counter, he automatically assumed it was some 'Invisible Woman' buisness. 

So, being the respectful brother he was, he waited for Emma to have some time to herself, then he made his way up to her room. He needed to know what happened, maybe he could get the information out of her tonight.

He knocked twice, no response. Huh. He knocked one more time, "Em?" Nothing. He gently turned the doorknob, then opened the door a crack to see Emma passed out sleeping on her bed. Nick chuckled, it must've been a busy day. She usually doesn't go to bed until 2AM, and that's an early night.

Nick walked into the room, turning off her television then throwing away the plate of pizza that was at the end of the bed. He then did his best to put her under the covers, making sure she was all snuggled up.

He sighed, looking down at his little sister...but she wasn't so little anymore. Nick shook his head, when did she get so grown up? Going out and saving the day, it was so dangerous...yet responsible. He could never even imagine her killing a spider, now she knocks out grown men.

He shook his head again, but a smile appeared on his face. It was nice knowing she could defend herself, whether from robbers...or boyfriends. He moved some hair out of her face, then placed a kiss on her forehead.

He walked towards the door, turning off the light, then looked at her one more time before closing the door.

Somewhere, on the other side of the city, a man was making a late night delivery to the NYU Science Building. It was uncommon for such a call, but the man on the other line sounded like he needed this...urgently.

Once he made it to the correct lab, he didn't bother knocking, he merely kicked down the door. Dr. Stone looked up from his file, a sigh escaping his lips.

"You sure know how to make an entrance."

The man rolled his eyes. "I don't have much time. Here." He handed him the viral. "This will help complete your...project."

Dr. Stone smiled at the viral, yes, this would be perfect. "Thank you."

"What exactly do you plan on using that for?" The man asked, moving closer to the doctor.

Dr. Stone merely smiled, not bothering to answer the messagener. He moved the file closer to himsel. A picture of Emma on it along with her blood test results was visible, he scanned it then nodded.

"A world without weakness, friend." He picked up Emma's picture. "A world without weakness."

Emma P.O.V.

I didn't get much sleep that night. My mind just wouldn't shut off, replaying that kiss with Andrew. It was like watching a movie scene over and over, beginning with him helping me with my wound then up to the kiss.

I couldn't beleive we had to see each other today, we were going to Dr. Stone's today, would we talk about it? Should I even bring it up? I sighed, looking in the mirror, I just wanted to go back to bed at this point, but my powers were more important. I had to find out as much as I could about them.
