Broken

A few weeks after the explosion at Dominion, the team received news of a second sanctuary, a location Adam kept hidden in case something went wrong. They moved in pretty fast and found everything very similar to the last one. They still had a mission and also the fact that their expiration date was close, they had to work together to find some way to save themselves.

Brennan and Shalimar were trying to have a stable relationship, but with Shalimar's' need to hunt and Brennan's lack of commitment, it was practically impossible. Somehow they realized they were better as friends than as a couple. Jesse wanted a relationship, but lexa wasn't ready to let someone get that close to her. Most of the time they would argue, because wanted to know where lexa was, all the time. It always ended with lexa becoming invisible while walking away, leaving Jesse screaming her name.

One night after a very busy day, everyone went to bed early, but lexa couldn't sleep, she kept tossing and turning until she decided to get up. She went to the living room, sat on the large couch and started to think about everything that had happened that year, the implant being activated, then removed, the death of her brother and the truth behind Adam. She didn't notice someone approaching her, until she looked up and found Brennan looking down at her.

"Is not nice to sneak up on people, Brennan" lexa told him. Brennan laughed and sat down by her side.

"What's wrong with you lexa? You've been doing third every night. Is there something keeping you awake? "Brennan asked, in a low voice.

"I guess I lost my reason to keep on fighting" Lexa replied, looking at the farthest wall.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Brennan asked, concerned.

"Finding Leo, was what I wanted, ever since he died, I don't have a reason to keep on fighting" Lexa explained, feeling the tears on her eyes, but keeping control of them. Somehow it felt good to let it all out, even though they always fought, she knew that Brennan understood her better than Jesse or Shalimar.

"I'm sorry about Leo, I know it was my fault, I should've listened to you. If I could, I would trade places with him" Brennan told her, looking down. He knew how much it had hurt lexa to kill his brother and felt really bad for being responsible for that decision, because she had done it to save him and that was something he would never forget. Lexa turned to look at him and touched his arm to get him to look at her. Brennan looked up and found himself staring at a pair of piercing blue eyes.

"For a long time I blamed you, but I realized that all you wanted was to help me. I knew that with the way Leo was, I would have to stop him, but I guess I wasn't ready to admit it. I don't blame you anymore" Lexa told him, getting up. This was to personal for her and she hated being vulnerable in front of other people. Brennan stared at her with confusion written all over his face.

"I know I should've said this a long time ago, but better late than never right. Thank you for trying to help me save my brother" Lexa said, walking away.

Brennan was speechless, now more that ever he was convinced that lexa pierce was mystery to him, after that conversation, they went to bed. Lexa sat on her bed and opened a drawer, she pulled out a picture of Leo from when they were children and before she could stop it, the tears rolled down her face and the stone cold woman cried like a little girl.

She curled up in her bed, with the picture in her hands, she remembered the times they played how he would hide when he felt afraid and only let lexa know where he was. How when he had nightmares, he would go to her room and lay down by her side. She remembered how many times they had laughed when their parents where looking for them and with Lexa's ability they would go invisible and made them go crazy.

Brennan heard her, he wanted to go there and try to comfort her, maybe hold her, let her know it was okay to feel and cry, that it didn't make her weak but human, he had no idea why he was feeling this way. But he knew lexa wanted to be left alone and even if she didn't, why would she want him there.

The next day they were contacted by a man, who claimed to be a fiend of Adam. He told them that there was a lead on a doctor that could help them stabilized their mutation. He informed them that this was a long mission and it would take at least a couple of weeks. Then he told them, he needed someone with experience in robbery and someone who could disappear on plain sight. Lexa and Brennan were coming down the stairs, when Shalimar and Jesse turned to look at them.

"Now what did we do?" Brennan asked. Jesse explained everything and they agreed that it would be lexa and Brennan who would take this mission. But when the men on the screen told them what the mission was, Jesse regretted his decision.

"Good, you'll be posing as a married couple" The man said.

"What!" Brennan and Lexa shouted at the same time.
