Second chance
Author: Nicole Teutloff (Gullnick)
Author note: Please don't be bad with me, because my story doesn't hold exactly at the events of the series. It's because I have not seen all seasons yet.
Summary: What happens with Susan, after Marcus has saved her? Will Marcus survive?
Disclaimer: The B5 universe and its characters don't belong to me, but to the great maker JMS. The story is my imagination.
Timeline: Takes place just after the badly injured Susan is taken back to Babylon 5.
Remark: The large battle is going to happen shortly. The earth is not yet completely freed from Clark's ruling. According the series Captain Sheridan is at this time in the hands of the earth reign and puts himself through a fact-finding committee. Dr. Franklin is (as far as I still know) on Mars. Garibaldi, too. In my story are both John and Stephen on board of a White- Star-Ship. The details of the alien healing device, I do not know exactly. I simply invented something.

Prologue
Marcus looked after the White-Star-Ship. He still couldn't understand that both John D. Sheridan, commander of the space station Babylon 5 as well as Delenn, ambassador of the minbari and Ranger One let this happen. Incensed he went to both of them, who had met in the control room to discuss the newest battle plans.
"I'm sorry, if I disturb, but I must talk to you urgently." he said as he entered the room.
"What can we do for you, Marcus?" Delenn, his superior asked.
"I simply cannot understand your decision. Why have you done that?"
"What are you talking about, Marcus?" John wanted to know.
"I'm talking about Commander Ivanova. I thought you are her friends. She wanted to take part in the large battle and you send her back to the station. I don't understand this. Could you not fulfil the Commander this one last wish?"
They both knew about his feelings for Susan.
"Marcus we only want the best for Susan. I know, how much she means to you, but we can do nothing more for her here. I thought that we should make the remainder of her life as pleasant as possible and this the doctors on Babylon 5 can do better than we can do here. I am sorry Marcus, but very likely Susan won't see the end of this year."
Marcus didn't want to hear this! He just had to find a way to help Commander Susan Ivanova. Without saying something he left the room. He flew back to his ship with a shuttle. There Lennier was already waiting for him. He wanted to know, whether it gave any news. Marcus explained him in all urgency, what were new and then disappeared into a room.
Marcus paced the room playing with his fighting pike. Surely this would have driven the Commander and Stephen Franklin nuts. He had to find a way to help Susan out of her hopeless situation. He went to the computer and demanded to show all data about incurable diseases and sudden inexplicable recovery. It appeared to last eternal, until the computer had the search results. So it seemed at least for Marcus. Ultimately the computer reported that it would have found some documents. Marcus stormed to the screen and began to read the found reports. Thereby he saw with a file created by Stephen. Hastily he perused it however he found nothing important, except that this report was tied with a further one, which was secured with several passwords. It had to be important.
"Stephen, I hope, you can forgive me sometimes, that I have done this. But I must help her. It's my task." he said to himself, as he began to decode the passwords.
It lasted something, but Marcus had enough exercise to come to the content of the report. He was very surprised what he read there and couldn't understand, why nobody had thought about it until now. Perhaps it was the only chance to save Susan Ivanova.
Marcus had made a decision, as he finally left the room again and looked for Lennier. He couldn't use him in his project. He wouldn't understand it and undertake everything, to hinder him to do it. But no-one and nothing could stop him from his plan to save the life of his great love, Susan Ivanova.
The war against the shadows was won! The earth is freed from Clark's brutal control! In all this it gave one place, which has played a large role: Babylon 5.
And again the last of the Babylon stations is the beginning of something new and unknown. What meaning will this place have for Commander Susan Ivanova, Anla'Shok Marcus Cole and all the others? What mysteries are still hiding behind the station? Let us surprise through which adventures the crew must go this time. It's the end the earth year 2261, the large battle to free the earth is just past. Commander Ivanova is dying.
The place is BABYLON 5!!!
What do you think so far? Please R&R.
