This is the sequel to the story scorpio. Hope you enjoy.
Little things
Becker walked through the halls of the ARC in confusion. It had changed a lot, then he remembered that it's was only that way to him because he couldn't remember anything. That Jess girl had been kind to him, always keeping an eye on him and making sure he didn't lose his way. Little snippets of memories had come back to him over time. He had remembered Cutter's death and Sarah's. Remembering Sarah's death had brought him to tears, he remember cradling her body in his arms as he sobbed and begged for her to come back to him. There was one memory however that didn't fit, he felt like it didn't belong to him. It was in a school, there's a creature running towards him he tries to frighten it away only it pushes him through two doors and everything goes black. He knew it wasn't his memory because he always carried a weapon and in this memory he wasn't. He talked to Abby and Connor about it, he knew that they knew who it belonged to they just didn't want to believe it, or tell him who's it was.
...
Abby sat for a long while; she was still trying to understand why Becker had one of Stephen's memories in his head. Stephen had joked about that day at the school, how he had thought spraying a fire extinguisher at a Gorgonopsid would stop it, only it knocked him out instead. It didn't make any sense, it had to be a coincidence, but then how could it be. Becker had been Stephen's replacement; he'd never met the man. It didn't make any sense. Connor of course had thousands of theories but none of them really made any sense at all. She wished Cutter was there; he would have some reason that would make sense. That would help her understand it all. Her theory was that Stephen was trying to talk to them, being that she believed in ghosts.
Suddenly an alarm sounded as they were alerted to another anomaly opening and Abby spurred into action. She didn't even have to think about it anymore. It came naturally to her, the alarm sounded she responded. Like clock work. She started to wonder what her life had been like if she had never met Cutter, whether Stephen would still be alive and whether Cutter would have gone looking for his wife. Whether she would still have killed him if he hadn't.
She ran to Jess' computer where Jess was already informing the rest of the team where the anomaly was. Becker was stood next to her like he always did and for a second things felt normal. Like the old days so to speak.
"The anomaly is about ten minutes away from here in an abandoned block of flats."
"Let's hope it's not scorpions again," joked Becker.
"I'll be there to save your ass if it is Becker." replied Matt with a smile.
Abby just stood there confused to what was going on, did Becker remember what happened, of had people told him the events of that day. Abby had thought it better to just let him remember things for himself. She knew it would probably hurt more that way but it was the only way she thought.
…..
They traveled to the anomaly site quickly, the car journey more of a blur then a fixed moment of time. Abby watched Becker as he drove the car round the corner into a ramshackle car park. He seemed to be quite relaxed and at ease now he was back and working. His relationship with Matt was completely different to the one he had shared with the Irishman. Becker and Matt appeared to almost be the best of friends. Matt had become a different person after Emily came through the anomaly. Everyone had known from the start that he loved her, just took her returning for him to realize it himself.
