She woke up on the bed again. She turned over on her side and saw Leonard leaning his head on the wall. When he saw that she was awake, he scrambled to his feet and sat down on her bed. Annie pulled herself into a sitting position. He took her left hand in his own, stroking the back of it with his thumb.

"Len, you really were supposed to go," she tried to scold as she squeezed his hand. He shrugged and blushed a little. He reached up and brushed a stray hair away from her eyes. She leaned into his hand and he left it on her face, cupping her cheek.

"How do you feel?" He whispered. She pulled his hand slightly towards her and he leaned toward her as a result. She moved so that she was sitting on her feet instead and leaned up to him on her knees.

"Better now," she answered as she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him to her. "Thank you." He returned her embrace tightly. When she pulled away, she remained in his arms as she slid her hands to his chest.

Leonard couldn't pull his gaze away from her. He reached up and placed his hands on her face. He pulled her face closer and kissed her.

It was hesitant at first. Neither Bones nor Annie were sure what the other wanted and neither wanted to take liberties. But Annie wrapped her arms around his neck to pull herself closer and Leonard grabbed her waist to bring her onto his lap. She gasped and Leonard took the opportunity to push his tongue into her mouth. She returned the gesture and pulled her body closer to his, winding her hands in his hair.

He moved his mouth to her jaw and down her neck. She let out a small moan and Leonard paused for a moment. Annie moved to kiss his neck and Leonard almost forgot his hesitation. But suddenly he heard Jim's voice in his head.

"Bones, I think I love her," it said and he pushed her away. She opened her eyes and looked at him. She looked confused and a bit hurt and he had to fight his urge to recapture her swollen lips. His voice came out in gasps as he explained his hesitation.

"We can't do this," he panted. Annie climbed off of him. She sat on the bed next to him and looked at her hands, suddenly embarrassed by her forwardness. "Jim really cares for you, he may even love you," he explained. "It wouldn't be right." Annie looked up at him.

"Len," she started but he shook his head.

"Come on," he stood up and placed a hand on her knee. "We need to get out of here." Annie's heart broke a little but she focused instead on escaping.

She stepped back over to the edge and raised the rocks. Leonard tried to ignore how hurt she looked as he ran across the rocks. Annie followed closely behind and through the giant wall.

A wave of dizziness like she had never experienced before washed over her. She stumbled to her knees and took a moment for her head to clear.

"Of course," she whispered, finally realizing the source. She didn't have time to worry about it, though, and she jumped back up to follow Leonard out the door.

The reached the others in minutes.

"What took ya so long?" Scotty asked and Leonard felt the heat rise to his cheeks.

"I took a little longer than expected to recover is all," Annie covered. Jim nodded and turned back to the wreckage of the shuttle.

"So what do we do?" He asked. Annie stepped forward and placed a hand on his shoulder. Then she walked past him and extended a hand toward the shuttle. She remembered now that she had done something like this before, once in training and again to escape the planet. It wasn't until the shuttle had left the atmosphere, that the block in her memory had taken effect. She hoped that Ubel really had removed the block on her memory this time.

The crew watched in awe as the shuttle reassembled. She reached her other hand out and twirling her hands in a circle, the shuttle finished coming together.

"Okay, this is by far my favorite trick this lass has ever done," Scotty spoke up. Annie blushed as she turned back to the crew.

"It's not perfect but it will get us back to the Enterprise," she informed them. They were about to board the shuttle when they all heard slow clapping behind them.

"Well done, my dear," her captor sneered. "Glad to see my training paid off." Annie turned around slowly and saw that her friends had all taken several steps to stand in front of her. "I would find your friends' loyalty to you endearing if it wasn't so nauseating." Annie stepped through her friends, toward the sneering man.

"You can't scare me anymore," she said, honing a confidence she didn't know she had.

"Oh, but my dear, would they still care for you if they knew what you are?" He asked. "You are a weapon meant to assist in the downfall of the galaxy. You are incapable of anything else." Jim stepped forward.

"That's not true!" he shouted. "Annie is capable of so much more than you will ever understand!" Annie was shocked by his outburst and suddenly she could see what Leonard had said he felt. But thinking about how Leonard had rejected her only made her heart sink and she looked away from him.

Ubel made no move to acknowledge Jim at all and simply stepped toward Annie.

"You haven't told them everything yet have you?" He asked causing everyone to look at her. "You haven't told them how I made you, how I altered everything you were to make you what you are. Why don't you tell them what you remember now?" He sneered. She was determined to say nothing but Ubel reached a hand out and she felt the words fighting to spill out of her mouth. "Tell them."

Annie felt a tear roll down her cheek as she began.
