Disclaimer: I don't own anything except a cardboard box out on a street. No wait, I stole that.

This fic has Dr. (Bill as I call him) Palance in it from the Shadows of Darkness ep. However, there s no Lexa. Adam and Emma are in it though. BrenShal and maybe JesseEmma.

Chapter One: Lies, Jokes, and Chases

"You have no chance pinning down a feral." Jesse said as he watched the two spar. Brennan smirked and kept trying. "You know he's right." Shalimar said, blocking Brennan every time.

"Well you can't seem to pin me down either." Brennan said laughing. "Just wait." Shalimar teased. Just then Emma came in the room. "Hey guys." Emma called. Brennan turned to look at her, but realized his mistake too late.

Shalimar swept his feet out from under him, causing him to come crashing down. What Shalimar didn't expect though, was for Brennan to hit his head hard on the Dojo floor. When Brennan didn't move, Shalimar bent down next to him. "Brennan, you ok?" She asked looking at him.

Brennan sat up and groaned. "What?" He asked confused. "Who are you?" he asked Shalimar. "Where am I?" Brennan asked looking around. "Oh no. Emma go get Adam!" Shalimar shouted, not taking her eyes off Brennan. 'Please no.' She thought to herself.

"Who's Emma? Who's Adam? What's going on?" Brennan asked still grabbing his head. "This is all my fault." Shalimar muttered. As Adam came running into the room, Shalimar turned her head away from Brennan.

Just then, Brennan smirked and turned himself over, pinning the feral to the ground. "Ha ha!" Brennan laughed aloud. "Gotcha!" Brennan was laughing hysterically, joined almost immediately by Jesse. Adam realized what was going on and simply smiled. Emma laughed quietly with relief.

"You cheated!" Shalimar screamed trying to fight her way out of Brennan's control. "You fell for it!" Brennan said, still laughing. Shalimar let out an aggravated growl and Brennan reluctantly let her up.

"Anyway," Brennan said getting up, "What was it you wanted Emma?" Emma had to think for a second before replying. "Oh yeah, Adam wanted me to get all of you for a lab scan." Jesse, Shalimar, and Brennan all groaned and protested. "I know you guys don't like it, but I want to make sure you're all ok." Adam said sincerely.

"Alright, but Shal's first." Brennan said with a smirk. "What? No!" the feral complained, hitting Brennan on the arm. "Brennan pinned you, you're going first." Jesse said smiling. "That's it! I'll get you back!" Shalimar threatened Brennan as she walked down the stairs.

Once the scans were complete, Adam came out to where the team was gathered. "Everyone's alright!" Adam said cheerfully. "Go back to whatever you were doing and please try not to kill each other!" Adam said looking directly at Shalimar.

Unsurprisingly, Shalimar challenged Brennan to a rematch and Jesse watched again. Emma went to meditate in her room, and Adam headed back to the lab.

After a few minutes of sparing, Shalimar still hadn't got back at Brennan. "I thought ferals were supposed to be fast!" Brennan taunted Shalimar. "I'm just getting started." Shalimar spat back.

After a long period of time, the two decided to take a break. Brennan went in his room to take a shower, but was stopped by Emma. "Brennan! We have to do something!" Emma said concerned. "Whoa Emma! Slow down. What's wrong?" Brennan asked suspicion building.

"You friend, Dr. Palance." Emma started. "Yeah what about him?" Brennan asked anxiously. "I think he's in trouble. I got a hit off him. Brennan, I think we should go see if he's alright." Brennan thought for a second before replying. "Okay. Emma, stay here. Please don't tell anyone about this I don't want anyone getting involved."

Without waiting for a response, Brennan ran past Emma, to the garage. As fast as he could, he fried the tracking device on the car, and took off his comm. link. He used his electricity to start the car and sped off before anyone could stop him.

After seeing Brennan fly by her room, Shalimar went to find out where he went. When she got to the garage, he was already gone. Shalimar ripped off the tracking device on a different car and threw her comm. link behind her as she sped off after Brennan.

"Adam!" Jesse called looking at the computer monitor with awe. "Brennan and Shalimar have both disabled their comm. links." Jesse explained, typing furiously at the keyboard. "Their last live feed was coming from the garage." Adam nodded and ran towards the garage.

"Two of the cars are gone." Adam told Jesse trough his ring. "See if you can track them." Jesse nodded and got to work.

When Adam returned, Jesse sighed in disappointment. "Adam, they somehow disabled the tracking devices on the two cars. We have no way of finding them." Jesse stated grumpily. "Maybe we do." Adam said quietly, thinking out loud.

"Emma." Adam called into his ring. I need you out here. Now."

'Great.' Emma thought knowing what this would be about. 'Now what?' Emma asked herself, walking slowly down the hall. 'Lie to Adam or to Brennan?' Emma chewed her bottom lip nervously as she made a tough decision. 'I hope he forgives me.'

I know it wasn't that long, but I don't write very long chapters. I'll try to make them a little longer, but no promises. I hope you all like my fic so far! Thanks for reading and please, please, please! Review!!! Thanks! :D
