"I'm sorry," Emma said "for getting us into this mess"

Shalimar took her hand "Don't be sorry, if you hadn't I would've still been suppressing my feelings for you." She smiled at the psionic "But let's go over to the woods over there, so no one can see us."

They went into the little wood only a few hundred metres away.

"So let's think, how do we get out of here?" Shalimar asked out loud. "Does the comlinks work?"

"Um… I left mine at the sanctuary." Emma replied. "I didn't think I'd need it anymore…" She looked unhappy, but Shalimar picked it up from her pocket and handed it to her.

"I brought it for you." She smiled

"Thank you." Emma said and reached out her hand for the ring. When she touched Shalimar's hand sparks flew between them, and she couldn't wait until she got to touch the feral even more.

"Adam?" She spoke into the comlink, but didn't get an answer. She shook her head. "It doesn't work."

Shalimar was pacing back and forth, trying to find a way to get back to their own time. It was getting dark and they needed a place to sleep. Shalimar would have no problem sleeping in the woods, but she didn't know about Emma. "Maybe we should try to find a place to spend the night?" she suggested.

"Yeah, but we don't have any money." Emma answered.

"Shit." Shalimar mumbled "Well, we could sleep here… I'll hear if someone gets near."

Emma smiled "I'd sleep anywhere with you."

As the night fell it got colder and they sat close, holding each other. "Are you cold?" Shalimar asked, tightening her grip around the younger woman.

"A little" Emma said as she shivered.

"I'd start a fire if I had matches" Shalimar said.

"And you weren't afraid of fires?" Emma asked playfully. "It's okay, I'm comfortable here with you." She leaned towards the feral and kissed her. The leaned back til' they were lying on the ground. Emma stroke the blonde hair out of Shalimar's face. They were just lying there, holding onto each other until they both fell asleep.

Emma woke up early the next morning, but was surprised to find that Shalimar was already up. She was sitting with her back against a tree, watching the psionic. Emma smiled at her. "Good morning." She yawned.

Shalimar couldn't help but smile. She wondered for the thousand-something time how Emma could look so cute in the mornings. "Good morning. Did you sleep well?"

Emma nodded "Well, as well as can be expected when you're lying on the ground." She stretched and sat up, leaning her back towards a tree, pulling up her knees and putting her arms around them.

"I've got an idea," Shalimar said. "we need the guys' help."

Emma sighed. "The problem is just that they're years and years away from here."

"But you're a psionic," Shalimar replied. "can't you try and connect to them?"

Emma shrugged. "I don't know, but I can try." She closed her eyes and concentrated, trying to reach Adam thought the time. After what to Shalimar felt like an eternity the psionic opened her eyes. "I don't know if it worked." She said unhappily.

At the same time Adam was pacing back and forth in the sanctuary. Jesse and Brennan were searching for information about what time Emma and Shalimar could be in on the computer. Suddenly Adam stopped pacing and closed his eyes.

"Adam, are you okay?" Brennan asked.

Adam opened his eyes. "I think Emma was trying to connect to me." He said, thoughtfully. "I saw a field and a wood. And her and Shalimar. They're okay."

"So now we need to focus on how to get them here." Jesse said.

"Well, we just have to find the new mutant that got them there." Brennan answered.

"But he's working for the GSA, he's hardly going to come running to help us." Jesse replied.

"Well, let's start with bringing him in here." Adam said. "The problem is just how, since we don't have any of the helixes." Adam hit the table with his palm.
