Europa - What now?. Read on..
Chapter 8 - Letting the cat out of the bag.
Sam looked at the terrified teenager standing before him, now he'd done it. This wasn't the first time he'd been found out, he knew exactly what to do in this situation.
"AAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!".
While he waited, less than composed, for his friend to arrive he turned his attention on Rogue.
"Listen", he said, holding up his hands, "i'm not going to hurt you. I'm....".
"Dr Sam Beckett", Rogue finnished for him, she seemed to be thinking hard, "ya'll here because of the...the..Quantum Leap project".
Sam blinked. He remembered when he had met the physcic, she knew things like this, but how did Rogue?. Then he realised, she had touched him, absorbing HIS memories, not Pietro's. Sam refrained from slapping himself in the face.
"If you know that, then you know i mean you no harm", he said to Rogue, hoping for the best.
Rogue narrowed her eyes.
"You....your here to save Sid?", she said, blinking, then put a hand to her head, "so many different memories....It's hard to concentrate on just one".
At that moment, Al showed up.
"What are you shouting about?", he said, shaking his head at Sam, "i might be a hologram in this time, but in my own time you'd be surprised to know i'm real. I need to eat and sleep an.......".
He trailed off, noticing Rogue was looking right at him, and pointing at him.
"Th...thats Al", she said, "your...observer. A hologram".
"Oh boy", said Al, then turned to Sam, "what did you do?".
"I didn't do anything", protested Sam, "she touched me. She absorbed my memories. I don't know how she's seeing you though".
Al shook his head and tapped into his hand link.
"Oh heres why", he said, giving the hand link a slap, "she's absrobed a bit of your abilites. She must have some of your brainwaves, so she's tuned into me now too. Just great!".
"Well, what do we do?", said Sam, "she knows everything. Last time this happened....".
"Excuse me".
Al and Sam turned to see Rogue standing with her arms crossed.
"In case ya'll haven't noticed, a'hm still in the room", she said, "now ah've only got half a story here. A'h didn't hold onto this guy for long enough ta get everything. So ya'll better tell me know, or a'll call Logan up here before ya'll can say 'mercy'".
Sam sighed, this was going to take some explaining.
After about 2 hours of talking, Sam and Al had finally convinced Rogue between them that neither of them were going to harm anyone in the institute and as soon as Sam had helped Sidney, they would both leave.
"Well, ya'll going to need some help then", said Rogue.
"You...want to help me?", asked Sam, surprised at the southern girls sudden intrest in helping this complete stranger.
"Yeah", said Rpgue with a sigh, "Sid's ma'h friend. Ah'm not going to stand by and let her get killed by whoever it is".
Sam was going to tell Rogue about who Sidney's killer-to-be was, but Al had stopped him, why he had no idea.
"Well, i guess i could use the help", said Sam.
"You never needed any help before", muttered Al, "you always go on fine with just me".
"Don't get so jealous Holo-boy", said Rogue, pulling a face at Al.
"I'm NOT jealous", said Al, narrowing his eyes at Rogue, "your control over Sam's abilites wears off right?. I don't think i can cope with two people talking to me, it's creepy. Its bad enough having people around here getting snipets of me, but this...this is crazy!".
"Well, if Rogue is going to help us", said Sam, "i think she'll need to be able to keep in touch with you too".
"Your kidding", said Al, frowning, "your goinging to let Miss Doom and Gloom over there keep stealing your memories?".
"I'm going to have to", said Sam, "why do you have such a problem with this?".
Sam looked at Rogue and then at Sam.
"I have some information about Sidney's killer AND his family", he said.
"So why don't you just say it then Holo-boy?", said Rogue.
"My name is Admiral Albert Calavicci", said Al to Rogue darkly, "not 'Holo- boy'. You could at least call me Al".
"A'hll call ya'll what a'h want ta call ya", said Rogue, crossing her arms, "now spill it about this killer".
"I can't", said Al, "the information has something to do with ALOT of the mutants in this house. You lot aren't ready to hear it yet".
"Well why don't you just tell me?", asked Sam.
"Becuase if SHE", said Al, pointing a finger at Rogue, "absorbs your ability to see me, she'll absorb your memories, and so she'll find out".
"Oh", said Sam with a sigh, then turned to Rogue, "how long does this abrobtion usually last for?".
Rogue shrugged.
"It depends on how long a'h hold on for, an' how long their unconcious for", she said, "a'h could never knock Pietro down for more than an hour though, he's got a fast recovery rate, just like the rest of him".
Sam sighed.
"Well, we'll just have to hope for the best", said Sam, "if there's an emergency, and you've lost the ability to comunicate with Al, then you'll have to touch me".
"But...", started Al.
"Al it's better that she finds out something she isn't supposed to for a while than to loose Sidney", said Sam.
"Yeah, your right", said Al with a sigh, he looked up at Rogue, "will you leave while i tell him this, and don't listen in".
"Whio do ya'll think a'h am?", said Rogue, storming out, 'listen in', yeah right!".
She slammed the door behind her and Al winced. He turned to see Sam frowning at him.
"What?".
"Can't you at least TRY to get on with her?", asked Sam.
"Hey, she's the one thats...", started Al.
"Never mind", said Sam, shaking his head, "now whats this 'big news'?".
"Well", said Al, tapping the buttons on his handlink, "i found out that our killers mom has been on BUSY lady, is you know what i mean".
He looked up to see Sam frowning.
"I guess you do..okay", said Al, giving a nervous chuckle, "Raven Dalkholme is a shapeshifter, she can be whoever she wants to be, and she's used it to her advantage. Not only is she the mother of this Graydon guy, but she's also the mother of Kurt Wagner".
"The blue furry Greman kid?", said Sam, blinking.
"Yup", said Al, "ans thats not all. She's also the adoptive mother of your new friend out there".
"She's Rogue's foster mother?", said Sam, blinking, "that makes her, Kurt and Graydon..siblings?".
"Yup", said Sam, "and it also makes that lovely trio Sidney's cousins. NOw Kurt knows his mother is Mystique, but thats all any of them know. I don't think any of them are supposed to find the rest out for a while. You just have to hope that Miss energy vampire doesn't have to absorb your abilites again. Or we'll be in trouble".
"She won't", reasured Sam, "don't worry Al".
"Yeah, right", said Al, opening the door to take him back out of the immaging chamber, "i'm going for a while. Tina and me have a date" (A/N Those that know Quantum Leap well. I know that in the last episode 'mirror immage' that it said that Sam changed it so Al stayed married to Beth, but it was suck a sucky ending, i decided to igore it, so there :P).
"Yeah, see you Al", said Sam with a sigh.
He left Pietro's room and started to head downstairs. He stopped when he head music coming from Sidney's room. He poked his head into her room to see Sidney sitting on her bed, strumming on her guitar.
"I'm lying here on the floor where you left me
I think i took too much
I'm crying here, what have you done?
I thought it would be fun
I can't stay on your life support
There's a shortage in the switch
I ca....".
She stopped, noticing Sam
"Oh hey Peety", she said with a smile, "i was just....practising".
Sam smiled.
"Hey your good", he said.
He meant it too, she had one amazing voice, it was a pitty he had to stop her big chance. He took a deep breath, this was going to be hard.
"Don't you think your...i don't know, going to fast?", he asked.
Sidney burst out laughing.
"Good one", she said when she had some composure, "you, the great Pietro Maximoff worried about someone going too fast".
Sam groaned, taking into account of who he had leapt into, he could have put his point across in better words.
"What i mean is. Well... aren't you worried about school work?", said Sam, "i mean, if theirs a tallent scout there and he or she likes you. Well... would you stop your education for that?".
"You know i wouldn't", said Sidney defensively, "you know that my school work is important to me. I can chase rainbows any day i want to. I'm not doing this to further my career Pietro. I'm doing this because i want to represent my school in the singing championships. What is with you all of a sudden?. Earlier on today, all you wanted to do was encorage me, now you don't want me to go?".
"Errrrrrr......", started Sam, he'd really dug himself into a pit this time.
"Take it easy Sid", said Rogue, walking in and putting a hand on Sam's shoulder, "a'h think Pietro's just worried about ya'll, that all".
"Yeah well he should know by now that he doesn't need to worry about me", said Sidney, frowning, "he kows all to well that i can take care of myself".
"Yeah", said Rogue, "come on Pietro, lets leave Sidney alone to practise right?".
He felt Rogue's grip on his shoulder get slightly tighter.
"Yeah, right Rogue, see you Sid", he said, before being dragged out of Sidney's room by the gothic mutant.
"Rule one Beckett", said Ropgue with chuckle once they'd got a safe distance away from Sidney's room, "don't anger Sid, unless ya'll want her to release her inner-beast. Trust me, it ain't pretty".
"Yeah... thanks Rogue", said Sam with a chuckle.
"Well a'hm going to bed", said Rogue, walking off to the room she shared with Kitty, "if a'h were you, a'hd do the same thing. Ya'll won't get anythin' more outta Sidney tonight. Goodnight".
With that, she closed her door.
"Goodnight Rogue", said Sam.
He sighed and went to his own room. He climbed into bed. As he driffed off to sleep, he could hear Sidney practising.
"Where i can run just as fast as i can
to the middle of nowhere
to the middle of my fustrated fears
and i swear your just like a pill
instead of making me better
you keep making me ill".
Sam sighed, it was a pitty he would have to keep such a wonderfull tallent like that away from the world. He sighed and closed his eyes, hoping thing would look better in the morning.
There ya go. The next chapter will be up soon. Remember to review, thanks. Until next time....
