Telepath Wolf

Healer

Keep in mind that I do not own Babylon 5 or its characters, so if you recognize any of them, THEY'RE NOT MINE. (Which means that I am not making money out of writing this, I'm only doing it for the pleasure of sharing a piece of my mind with you all)

Please remember that this story portrays a little different approach to Susan's and Talia's relationship, which means YES, as most of my stories, this is a FEMLASH, if this bothers you, you shouldn't be here, so leave now if you're not comfortable with this fact.

Also remember that Susan is a werewolf, kinda like the ones portrayed in the Underworld movies. You know, strong, virtually immortal, and able to control when they shift. She and her brother, and a few others that will come, were born werewolves, not turned. However there are and will be bitten ones here too.

And don't forget I altered the timeline to suite my needs for things to flow between them.

Telepath Wolf

Chapter 09

Healer

A few days later, the station was in an uproar due to the attack on Shaal Mayan, Delenn's friend, who had come on board the station to do a few demonstrations on her latest works. The worst part was that it was not the first attack on the alien population on the station, and it was getting out of control since we didn't even had a lead on the attackers. That of course, had not affected the traffic and there I was, at my post in CnC, doing my job when things began to go 'boom', again.

Ms Winters came in as I gave instructions to a Centauri cruiser to dock.

"Acknowledged Babylon Control" I got response from the Centauri Liner after I gave them green light to dock. "Also, we have two detainees; we want to give custody of them to a commanding officer"

"Detainees?"

"Yes Babylon Control, they don't seem dangerous but as we said, we better hand them over to you"

"Babylon Control to Centauri Liner Cobo, we'll have someone waiting there to take custody of the detainees" I said ending the link as Garibaldi walked in, presumably to try and pry information from me regarding my excursion to retrieve the Azimov. He had tried to do that several times, and he was already prying around Red Sector on this matter; luckily, the both of us had been up to our necks with several things.

"Detainees? What kind? Raiders? Hijackers?" He asked after obviously overhearing

"Unknown" I told him flatly, trying to ignore Ms Winters who was at the other side "All he said was that they don't look dangerous and that they want to hand them over to someone of command… so if you've got a minute" I told him

"No, I don't" Said Mr Garibaldi, forcing me to look sharply at him "Lt. Commander I'm up to my eyeballs" he said gesturing with his hand "I've got all my people looking into these attacks"

"Well, it'll only take a minute" I told him

"I don't have a minute" he said sharply which in turn made me answer him in the same fashion

"Well, neither do I. Unless of course you'd like me to tell the Commander to do it" I said heading to my console, causing Ms Winters to chuckle slightly.

"Okay… all right" relented Mr Garibaldi "I'll do it" he said walking away

"Good" I said, but noticed he had stopped midway to the door, with a smirk on his face

"Just one quick stop on the way. I found an illegal planter in the garden last week" he said, and I knew he was talking about me "Someone's actually using our hydroponic system to grow coffee and everyone knows that the garden's used only for fruit, vegetables, grains…"

"Technically, coffee beans are a kind of grain, right?" asked an amused Ms Winters

"Not according to our guidelines Ms Winters" said Garibaldi smirking "And it's too bad because the beans looked just about ripe…"

"Mr. Garibaldi" I said trying to get his attention, but he obviously ignored me

"And coffee is so expensive to import…" he continued

"Mr GARIBALDI!" I yelled effectively getting his attention "I think I'll take a walk, clear up my mind before carrying on with my duties" I told him "So I might just stop by and pick up the detainees" I said walking to him, apparently being followed by a smirking Ms Winters "You're a vicious man" I said walking past him

"I'm the Head of Security" he said amused "It's in the job description"

"I'm sure it is" said chuckling Ms Winters, still at my tail.

"Ms Winters" I finally acknowledged directly her presence "Sorry about that"

"Don't worry, I get it" she said smiling, still walking at my side "Just came by to see if we could finally catch up, I've been meaning to speak to you since… you know" she said softly.

"I don't know what you're talking about" I told her coldly "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a pick up to do" I said walking into Customs where I was able to see two security guards dragging two teenage Centauris, a male and a female. "Ms Winters." I nodded my head before heading to the door where the Centauris were being dragged. I could hear Ms Winters scoff, but she stayed there.

"Let go!" yelled the male Centauri, trying to get freed "I'm a Centauri Citizen! You've no right to manhandle me!"

And then, to make matters worse I smelled him before he rounded the corner to the gate. So in one hand I had to deal with the Centauris detainees, on the other I had to avoid him, and on another (which I didn't really had) I had to deal with Ms Winters. I grunted upon realizing that, motioning for the guards to stop in front of me.

"We demand to see Ambassador Cotto!" stated the female Centauri and I sighed.

"Take them to Blue 5" I ordered "And make sure there is a Centauri representative and that he's informed of this"

I turned to leave but was faced with a serious Ms Winters and at the same time he called out to me. I sighed resigned and turned to face him

"Susan" he said again "It's been a long time" he said smiling

"It's been eight years Malcolm" I told him seriously "What are you doing in Babylon 5?"

"I'm looking for something" he said "Something I never stopped wanting"

I stiffened, both because of his words and what reaction these might cause on Ms Winters "I have to go. I have duties" I said before Ms Winters even uttered a word, which I knew she was about to.

"Same old Susan" he said mockingly "Duty first"

"That's right" I simply said "Enjoy your stay" I told him before turning to face Ms Winters "See you at another time, Ms Winters" I said nodding briefly at her before leaving to the CnC

After my shift ended, I went to the Zocalo, to continue with the meetings I had with the pack members while I ate something. The last for the evening had just left when I smelt Malcolm and Ms Winters approaching from different directions.

"So… you do take a break every now and then" he said smiling once he spotted and approached me

"Actually, her shift just ended" said Ms Winters taking a seat without invitation

"Then maybe we can talk" he said hopefully "There was a time when you and I could spend entire evenings just talking, when we weren't…" he said suggestively and I noticed Ms Winters stiffening, I smiled at that

"That was a long time ago Malcolm" I told him, then I looked at Ms Winters "A different place, a different me"

"All the more reason to start over" argued Malcolm

"She's not interested in reliving the past" said annoyed Ms Winters. Malcolm was about to retort but I beat him to it

"I'm tired, I have to go" I told both them as I stood up

"Susan" he tried as Ms Winters stood to follow me

"Malcolm…" I sighed "It's been 8 years" I said, then I remembered I was not supposed to get involved with Ms Winters, which was exactly what I appeared to be doing. "Let's take it slow, all right?" I asked him, he smiled and nodded.

As I turned to walk away, I could see Ms Winters fuming and heading the opposite way. I smiled softly at her retreating form, heading to my quarters to get some sleep.

Next morning, as I walked out of my quarters ready for duty, I stumbled across a silver package, inside, there was a single red rose, a natural one with a note on it.

'Meet me for dinner tonight? 'Symphonia'19:00hrs. We can take it as slow as you wish' I smiled and smelled the rose. It was odd, I could not smell Malcolm on it, or on the note for that matter. Nevertheless, I silently agreed to go to dinner with him.

During my shift I spoke with Commander Sinclair about the attacks and the possible implication of Home Guard and ProEarth groups in them; he also informed me of the attack on Ambassador Kosh prior to my arrival to the station, when he was framed for it. I reminded him that Vorlons are a secretive species, so a lot of assumptions were made about them.

As I came out of my quarters, fully dressed for my date with Malcolm, I bumped into Mr Garibaldi.

"Hot date tonight?" He asked amused

"Something like that?" I told him as I entered the turbolift

"Have fun" he said as the doors closed.

"Welcome to Symphonia, ." I was greeted by the host as I arrived there "Your companion has not arrived yet, but we were asked to lead to your reserved table" she said softly

"Thanks" I told her following after her.

The location of the table was at the balcony, directly above the gardens. It was a lovely view.

"Would you like something to drink while you wait?" asked me politely the host

"Just water, please" she nodded and left, returning a few minutes later with a glass and a pitcher of water, setting them on the table.

"Your waitress will be coming to bring you the menu when your companion arrives" she said curtly.

"Thank you"

I was looking out at the gardens wondering how long would it take for Malcolm to show up when I smelled her coming in my direction. I whipped my head to look at her, and as I had suspected, she was walking directly to my table, being lead by the hostess. She was wearing a lovely blue long dress, her Psi Corps insignia and gloves in place. I was taken aback by her appearance and shocked by the fact that it had been her and not Malcolm as I had believed who sent the note. She had tricked me, knowing what I said to him yesterday, and that angered me to no end.


A/N: Just a little something before I leave, last Monday I lost to bone Cancer a very dear and important person in my life, she was like family even when we did not share blood, she was a friend to most of my family members, a teacher to others, and an aunt to most of us. I would like to ask you all to raise a prayer for Laura Moreno aka 'Lala' in which ever way is socially acceptable by your people, taking into account your beleifs.

I'm not upset per say, but feeling down, due to the fact that I couldn't Heal her, even when we all wanted her to get better; granted I'm not a Doctor much less a pathologist, and I only have taken first aid courses... so I decided to actually wirte something up and heal who I could, so this chapter is both for 'Lala' and 'alex1966' who asked to be healed

As for this update, like it? Hate it? Let me know please.

I'm already proofreading next chapter, so you might get an early update. Remember to leave your reviews… they nourish my imagination.
