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?
A/N: Marcus speaking through Susan = text
(They have arrived. When they enter the room, where Bester is holding Marcus' body. Bester grins until he notices the three minbari teeps & Lyta.)
Bester: Commander Ivanova, Ms. Alexander, so nice of you to join us. Was it really necessary to involve outsiders? This is Corps business.
Susan: Let him go.
Bester: I would if I could find him. I'm afraid the lights are on.. (He raps on Marcus's temple) but no one is home. Do you really want to risk losing your lover here forever? Even if he is a mundane and you could have done so much better.
Susan: He is NOT my lover.
Bester: Yes. But you do love him. I can see it from across the room.
Susan: Stay out of my mind!
Bester: Susan. I'm not in your mind. I don't need to be And besides, he could not have established this link of yours.
Lyta: Let him go.
Bester: Or you'll what? Blow my brains out with a PPG? Or perhaps you'll have your Minbari friends held me at bay with these Denn'bok's? I warn you, if I don't find him…
Susan: Don't threaten me Bester
Bester: Such a pity. He was a smart man. Witty. Funny.
Susan: Thank you.
Bester: What? What for?
Susan: The compliment. About my Denn'bok, by the way, where is it?
Bester: Yours?
Susan: (speaks to the minbari, in their language)
Bester: What are y- (Bester is hit by deep scans from the 4 teeps & backs up. He fights & struggles, but is 'held' in the corner)
Lyta: (Strained) Now. Hurry. Not… long. (Susan moves forward and lifts Marcus' body, carrying him gently out)
Susan: Never knew I weighed this much
Oh shut up!
Susan, I'm sorry, but you were freezing up on me. I had to move you.
You promised me Marcus.
No Love. What I said was, I wouldn't move unless it was for your own good. And now you're moving me
I noticed.
Sorry
Why couldn't you let one of the minbari carry you?
You did want to get out of here in one piece, right?
Of course I do.
Are you saying you can't carry me?
No!
So you don't like me?
Marcus. I don't need this right now. Please? You know how I l.. care about you.
I'm just trying to get your mind off things.
I know. But not now, ok? I need to work this out.
Shall I go to sleep?
Let's just get out of here (She rolls her eyes)
