Mind trap 2
Rating: PG for now
Disclaimer: All hail the Great Maker! JMS!
Pairing: I/M
Summary: When Marcus is captured instead of Garibaldi in "Z'ha'dum", what will happen?
(Lyta comes to see Susan. After her explanation of the hour of the Wolf)
Lyta: I heard about Marcus too.
Susan: Yeah. It's stupid, but I keep expecting him to just show up, jumping out of a closet or something to yell GOTCHA! Pain in the ass.
Lyta: Yes. Cute too. (Susan blushes)
Susan: Normally, if I'm a bit depressed he shows up with a chart or a delusion of grandeur... I... miss him.
Lyta: Yes, I can feel that.
Susan: Sorry. I guess the alcohol is weakening my blocks.
Lyta: Susan, your blocks can't hide what you feel in your heart right now. It's too much. Your heart is screaming.
Susan: My heart. I don't talk to my heart very much.
Lyta: You may not, but he has been.
Susan: John is my best friend.
Lyta: Not anymore he isn't. You aren't crying for him. You are screaming only one name Susan. It's like a mantra. "Marcus. Marcus. Marcus."
Susan: Stop it.
Lyta: You're in love with him.
Susan: No!
Lyta: It would appear, while you were so concerned about not talking to your heart, your heart has been conspiring with his. It's…
Susan: It's what? (Lyta's voice is suddenly tense)
Lyta: How did you do this?
Susan: I don't know! I don't want to… care… about anyone.
Lyta: Not that! You've… you are connected to him.
Susan: Connected? What do you mean?
Lyta: I can feel Marcus. In you.
Susan: Lyta. You aren't making any sense.
Lyta: I have never seen anything like this between any other couples, other than strong telepaths.
Susan: Couples?! Lyta! Marcus and I … we aren't a couple. We never have been a couple. We are never going to be a couple. And if you say anything about any of this, to anyone you'll find yourself going out an airlock.
Lyta: Susan, like it or not, you're in love with him. And you have a link. Connections like this can only be broken by… well, a deep scan with Level 11 blocks or higher might do it.
Susan: How can I have this link?
Lyta: No one understands them. They just are.
Susan: Well, when I get my hands on him he'll wish he never messed with me! I'll hang, draw and quarter him! How dare he –
Lyta: Susan, I'm afraid he isn't the telepath in this situation. You are.
Susan: No! I didn't do anything! It has to be him. I bet he did it just to get on my nerves!
Lyta: His heart may have offered, but yours is the only one who could make this happen.
Susan: It's impossible!
Lyta: Susan. Stop trying to lie to me. To yourself. It won't work. But look on the bright side. You know he's alive.
Susan: Not when I get my hands on him he won't be!
