~*~* Bringing Her Back*~*~

~*~* Chapter 1*~*~

It had almost been a month since she died and Brennan's heart was in shattered little pieces. He had loved her more than anyone else in the world and would have died in her place if he had been able to. Every night he would lie in his bed trying to think of a way to bring her back. The others tried to cheer him up, but nothing worked.

Brennan sat holding a picture of the two of them. She was on his back with her arms wrapped tightly around his neck and they were standing in front of a beautiful waterfall.

A tear fell from his eye. He couldn't stop thinking about her, but thinking about her death hurt him, badly.

Then it came to him, *Diana. Yes, she could help me. She could send me back and then I can save her. Why didn't I think of that before* Brennan sprung from his bed and ran down to the lab.

~*~* Lab *~*~

Adam had been up studying and researching late, as usual.

"Adam!" Brennan burst through the door.

"Brennan, what is it?" a startled Adam asked.

"Diana.Diana Moller."

"What about her?" Adam was confused.

"She can help."

"Brennan, sit down and take a deep breath."

Brennan did as he was told.

"Now tell me what you're talking about." Adam said as he leaned against the counter.

"Diana can send me back, back to when IT happened. Adam, if I go back, I can save her, I can bring her back."

Adam knew exactly who and what the elemental was talking about. "Brennan, Shalimar is dead. You have to accept that." He put a hand on Brennan's shoulder.

"NO! No, Adam, listen to me, I can save her. I can bring her back. Please, let me try." He pleaded.

"Brennan."

"Adam, I will get her back, and if I have to, I'll do it alone!" Brennan shouted as he turned and stalked out the door. Adam was left thinking about what Brennan had just proposed as he continued with his work.

Brennan, instead of going to bed, went to the computers, to look up Diana. After finding her address and where she works he was satisfied and decided to go back to bed for a few hours.

~*~* 12:45 pm *~*~

Brennan was up and anxious for a chance to get out of Sanctuary unseen. He made his way slowly through Sanctuary being as quiet as possible.

Adam watched from the computer screen in the lab, as Brennan went straight to the garage and sped off in his favorite Mustang. He didn't hesitate a moment before calling Diana to let her know what was going on.

---20 minutes later---

Diana heard the door bell ring. Turning the TV off, she walked over to the door and looked through the peek hole.

*Well it's about time he got here* She thought.

"Diana I need your help." Brennan said as she let him in.

"I know. Have a seat. Can I get you anything before you go?" She asked.

"No, thank you, I'm fine. How did you know?"

"Adam called me and told me your plan. So you're going to try and bring her back, huh?"

"I'm not going to try, I'm going to succeed." He told her.

"Of course you are. But Brennan, if it doesn't work you could be trapped in that time zone, or in between that one and this one forever."

"I'm willing to take that risk."

There was a moment of silence before Diana said, "Alright then, let's go."

"That's it? Just up and go?" He asked surprised.

"Yeah, what did you expect?" She started to create a portal.

Brennan shrugged and then stood up next to her.

"What time do you want it to be when you get there?"

"You can do time?"

"My powers mutated a little since you last saw me, I can't do exact time, but I can get close to whatever you want."

"Ok, umm, how about six: forty-five, seven o'clock?"

She nodded and created a portal. "I hope you can get her back. Good luck, Brennan."

"Thanks." He replied. After he jumped into the portal, it closed and that was the last that she saw of him.

***This wasn't the story I was going to post next but I have to do it for school so here it is. The next chapter will be up soon. =)
