Title: Linked
Pairing: B/S (who else would I write about?)
Summary: An explosion puts Shalimar and Brennan in comas but what no one realizes is that now their minds are linked and one is keeping the other alive
Disclaimer: Don't own them so don't sue
A/N: takes place after the season finale and some of the scenes are just me using my imagination about what I want to see past the season opener.

Shalimar watched Brennan pace the small area in the lab where they were assigned to protect Adam's friend, Dr. Holland, while he completed his invention; a machine that can isolate and remove certain particles from an atom.
When they got the assignment, Shalimar wasn't too excited but at least it gave them a chance to get out sanctuary especially since Adam kept them under lock and key since the incident at Nexcon.
She could still remember the distressed look on Brennan's face when she finally woke up. She had never seen him so panicked and on the verge of tears before. Not even when he thought he was going to die because his powers were out of control had she seen him so upset.
She continued to watch him pace. Part of her wanted to tell him how she felt and the other part wanted to run and hide from what she was feeling. The feelings that were stirred by seeing her father again were nothing compared to feelings she felt when around Brennan. That is what scared her the most. She didn't know how to deal with what she felt for Brennan. At least with her father she knew she was mad at him and could direct those feelings toward hating him but with Brennan she had no idea how direct her feelings. There was also the fact that she feared he might not feel the same which was another reason why she kept quiet.
She was so deep in thought that she didn't hear Brennan calling her "Shal you in there?"
"Hmm.Yeah sorry I was just thinking"
"Thinking about your dad?" he knew she still had some resentment toward her father for helping Eckhardt and his assuming she needed to be healed. In fact he had a lot of resentment for the man. After all he was the reason they were in that explosion and why Shalimar almost died.
"Yeah" she covered quickly while looking into his deep dark eyes.
And there it was. That awkward silence where they stared at the other as if one wanted to say something or wanted to make the first move but like always there was something to interrupt them and this time it came in the form of Dr. Holland
"Oh there you are" the doctor said, oblivious to what was going on between the two mutants "I wanted to tell you I am going to turn on my machine so if you see the lights flicker don't panic" he finished before leaving them alone again
Shalimar thanked God that Adam wasn't like that. She had to admit that Dr. Holland fit the typical scientist stereotyped all the way down to his coke bottle glasses and ability to be oblivious to the world around him.
"Where did Adam say he met him?" Brennan asked as he watched the man leave
Looking him right in the eye and flashing him one of her 'get real' smiles she replied "you think I was listening at the time? I was just so happy he was letting us out of sanctuary I tuned the rest out"
He laughed "yeah I hear that" They shared a quick laugh before they noticed the lights begin to flicker. "Guess we better go make sure the doc doesn't hurt himself"
They left the small room and headed towards the main lab. When they arrived they found that the doctor wasn't alone. In fact he had four visitors in the form of Eckhardt's new mutants.
Noticing the two new arrivals the lead mutant, who had a tight hold on Dr. Holland, looked Brennan and Shalimar up and down before ordering two of the mutants to attack "get rid of them" he said while he dragged the doctor out of the room.
The two mutants nodded and headed toward Brennan and Shalimar. "Adam, we got trouble at Dr. Holland's lab. Eckhardt sent some of his new mutants here and we could use a hand" Shalimar said into her comm. before she and Brennan were engaged in hand to hand combat. The third mutant hung back and headed for the main computer and began the task of downloading all Dr. Holland's research onto a disk.
"Shalimar we're on our way" replied Jesse but they were too busy to respond to the molecular
Seeing the man at the computer Shalimar used a desk to back flip over her assailant and headed towards him. Unfortunately for her he was quicker than her. Charging what looked like a ball of energy the man flung it at her, striking her in the chest sending her sprawling into a nearby lab table. Taking a moment to admire his handy work he smirked at the fallen feral, finished the download and ducked out but not before launching another ball of energy at the still running machine.
Shalimar felt like her chest was caving in as she struggled to get into a sitting position. Placing a hand between her breasts she tried desperately to steady her breathing as she watched the mutant who sucker punched her release his powers on the machine before ducking out the nearest exit. It was only when he was out of sight did notice the set of feet before her and the face of her first opponent leering down at her.
After making short work of his opponent Brennan looked for Shalimar. When he noticed her on the floor and her opponent standing over her, ready to strike, he quickly ran over, grabbed the man's arm and punched him several times. He was helping Shalimar up when he heard her raspy voice choke out
"The machine" she said as she leaned on Brennan for much needed support in rising to her feet
Brennan took one look at the machine and the tendrils of electricity at least that is what he assumed it to be, flowing out of it "we gotta get out of here" he yelled as he pulled Shalimar closer to him and attempted to break for the door but it was too late.
The machine sent out a beam of light that seemed to encase the two members of Mutant X, almost protecting them, as the rest of it overloaded and destroyed most of the room they were in while at the same time killing the other two mutants instantly. When the light finally died it dropped the two new mutants in unconscious heaps on the now charred lab floor.
Moments later the helix landed on the roof of the building but neither of them heard it
