Hey Guys! I know, its been awhile, but Real life caught up with me and hard. Sorry @.@ Anyway, I hope you enjoy this part.

Delenn! What do you mean Lyta isn't on the station!?

            Delenn sighed in a chair across from where Susan was sitting in her guest quarters. "She left approximately the day before we arrived. I've contacted her…but…"

            But what?

            Mari spoke telepathically to Susan personally. Why are you angry?

            I'll explain later Susan sent back.

            "But…she said she could not be on the station for at least a week-and she also gave a warning that there were mentions of, blip,"She paused unsure of the meaning of the word, "activity in this area."

            Oh… She trailed of with curses in her own mind.

            Mari grabbed Susan's arm and got as close to her as she could,waves of fear emitting from her mind to Susan.  

"Susan, may I ask what that means?"

            It means they've documented unregistered Earth telepaths in this area. Us.

            "How?"

            Does it matter? It could have been anyone, it wasn't like we were hiding the fact that Mari and I were telepaths.

            Susan was trying to calm Mari down, by sending reassuring waves of confort to her, though she didn't feel very reassured herself.

            "You are protected by  the Mimbari Government. As a ranger, you immediately qualified for Minbari citizenship, and you did take it."

            I am aware… but legalitys won't stop them. Offically yes, unofficially they can do whatever in the hell they want.

            What is it that they want?

            Control Delenn, in the end, control.

-*-*-A little while Later-*-*-

            Delenn, I really do not want to go to this meeting.

            It was part of the arranged plan.

            May I have permission to go to the training room until the end of your meeting?

            Delenn paused in thought and concented. "However, Mari will come with me."

            No! There was a fierce protectiveness in Susan, and she pulled Mari close.

            Delenn, with the treat of the Psi Corps showing up, I want her with me.

-*-*-*-Delenn's mind-flashback-*-*-*-*

Delenn opened the small door after it had been unlocked by one of the rangers with her. She had inisisted on coming to help save her friend. The door opened to reaveal a tiny cell, the only light coming in from the hallway behind her. She could see, two bony figures, the larger one curled around a smaller one, as if she was protected the other. The body moved and turned around, forcing itself to stand up, beyond all forces that tried stopped it, muscle atrophy, starvation and other things. She looked up, and Delenn gasped as she was the reminates of what used to be Susan Ivaonva.

Susan took a stance as if to fight, but Delenn could see her legs quaking to hold up her starving frame.

            She'd simply sent Don't touch her.

            And collapsed.

            Two rangers, that had been with Delenn picked up each of them easily, and they escaped to a white star, never looking back.

-*-*-*-End flashback-*-*-*-

            "Very well, but you two will be careful."

            When are we not?

            "When your up to something."

            Very well.
            Delenn led them to the training room and left, and Susan and Mari walked inside the quiet room.

            At this time only two Rangers were practicing off to the side, doing simple spar movements, the main floor left free to anyone who wished t use it. The weights were off to Susan's right, and benches lined the walls.

            Mari you can sit over there, and work on your History assignment for your teacher on Minbar.

            Why DO I have to learn Minbari history? She whined slightly and sulked on her way to the bench, guided by Susan's telekentics. Do you think you could help me?

            Susan sent something of mental apologetic shrug,Earth didn't even know the Minbari existed until I was in high school, not enough time to create a textbook. Trust me, I'd get everything wrong.

            But the guy voice is so annoying. She referred to the small data pad, the a set of small headphones for her use.

            Work anyway, Delenn wants me to quiz you tomorrow.

            Tomorrow?

            Yeah, Kid. Like it or not, you need to keep up with some educational studies.

            She pouted and turned her little data pad on, listening to the notes on history.

            Susan stretched, and the proceeded to start with simple movements.

            Expand pike, thrust forward, sweep, bring back, collapse pike, repeat.

            She moved in those motions with grace from experience feet falling into a familiar rhymic pattern. Her telekentics expanding around her, to where she could feel the movement of Mari's feet swaying back and forth, the two others sparing pikes crashing into eachother, all while she kept up the motions in silence underneath her hooded cloak. She registered the door sliding open behind her, and continued going on with the movements.

            "Hello Lexi, it I good to see you here."The familiar voice of Marcus washed over her ears. She didn't stop moving.

            Hi, you here to train this morning?

            "Like every morning. I see you're here for that purpose.

            Of course.

            "Would you like to spar?"

            She paused in her actions and debated weather she should.

            Sure, why not?

            "Good."

            They took their stances.

             Susan concentrated solely on Marcus, his entire mass. She couldn't see him, but she could feel his outline, every particle that made up he being. She felt his hands clench around his pike, and his right foot move forward as he swept the pike low. She blocked with ease, and they focused on each other going around in circles. The sparring continued, each hitting the other lightly, and then recovering quickly. Finally Marcus gained the upper hand and tripped her onto the mat below.

            He walked up to her, and put his pike to he neck.

            Susan's mind suddenly lost where she was…

            *~*~*~*Flashback*~*~*~*

            Susan was laying, down, her bare back against the cold stone floor. Someone, was standing over her, she could hear them, and slightly feel them, but with the drugs they had in her she couldn't really tell. She was completely aware mentally, and panicked.

            Hello. Having trouble?

            She couldn't reply in anyway, she was completely defenseless and she attempted to scramble backwards.

            Don't run away. 

            The voice suddenly sounded trusting, friendly, and Susan's body relaxed, even though a small part of her knew, and screamed for the man to get away…

            ~*~*~*~End of Flashback~*~*~*~*

            Suddenly she realized that she had Marcus above her head and was telekinetically holding him. She put him down immediately, and was blushing underneath her hood, and shaken by the experience. I'm sorry. I didn't mean…

            "That's quite all right, just warn me when you do that next time."

            I don't normally just do those things…I'm sorry.

            "Its fine. I'm sure it is an instinctive reaction…"

            No, it was completely unacceptable on my part. I shouldn't start to hurl people across the room…

            "You didn't. You raised me over your head…"

            About 15 feet

            "True. Do you want to keep sparring?"

            She paused. No, not really.

"Is there anything you want to do?"

Why do you ask?

"Because I did."

She thought some rather choice words. I want to go walk around.

            "Then shall I escort you?"

            Susan balked at the idea initially, but knew she wasn't getting anywhere without someone with her. You shall, I presume.

            "Where to?"

            Anywhere. And then she sent to Mari, Come on kid, we're leaving.

            -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

            Where are we exactly?

            She could have scanned him, but she didn't want to.

            "The observation Dome…I know… but its normally quiet and relatively empty, and I got the impression your not really a people person."

            Marcus was beginning to effect her, it had been to long since she'd been around him. She wanted…that didn't matter.

            Not now, it…She paused for words. I don't like large crowds.

            "Or people standing when you're on the ground."

            It was instinct.

            "Sure…"

            Susan? Mari sent privately.

            Hrm Kid?

            Whats the observation Dome used for?

            To look at the stars.

            Do they look different here?

            There is a different perspective, I guess.

            "Have you ever been to Babylon 5?"

            No. She knew sadness has slipped though, she cursed silently.

            He felt it, but ignored it for the moment. "Have you ever seen the Stars from space?"

            She could remember standing here so many times, contemplating, or just for comfort, she wished she could see them again, the light, her hope in the distance. She paused unsure of how much of her past she should give away. Yes, I used to be a pilot. She still was actually, her license didn't expire for another three months.

            "What did you fly?"

            "Starfuries." She could feel the rush flying though space even now.

            She felt a wave of sadness come over him. "I had a friend who loved this place. She was also a pilot, best flyer I'd ever known, and a wonderful person to get to know, if she'd let you. She…"

            God, he was talking about her. She saw flashes of herself from his mind; it was slightly unnerving. She felt strong emotions, love, sorrow, a hatred for the psicorps. She was amazed by the fierce waves that came to her, even though she was attempting to block.

            "She got caught by the Psicorps. We don't even know if she's alive anymore."

            She wanted to tell him with a pasiosthat she was there, standing in front of him, to stop his pain. All she had to do was reach out, tell him that she was right here. She wanted his embrace, even though eight months ago she wouldn't have admitted it. Things had changed…

            -*-*-*-*-Flashback-*-*-*-*

            It was cold, dark and quiet. Not the sound of a single animal, or anything besides her own shallow breaths. It hurt to breathe any deeper. She didn't think she could move, she hadn't tried in awhile…6 "meals" ago, if she'd counted right, six small loafs of bread that appeared, no human interaction at all. They'd left them, and she'd hadn't eaten them. She knew there was something in them, and it made her sick anyway, some drug, something. She couldn't tell, couldn't think to tell.

            She focused, on happy thoughts, how Marcus would pay attention to her, or crack a small joke or how he didn't believe in luck, but seemed to have a nack for getting things right, his accent, anything. She had to stay alive, they'd come and get her…they would…

            -*-*-*-*End flashback-*-*-*-

            It had fallen into an uncomfortable silence. She knew she had to tell him, and she had to soon. She felt his sorrow reverberate though her mind.

            Marcus…I'm here…She removed her hood slowly, and stood head tilted downwards. She could feel his shock, surprise, all his emotions mingled within an intense relief and love… He simply embraced her, placing his head into her hair, and holding her tight. "Susan, God…"

            Her legs stopped supporting her, as she leaned into his chest, listening to his heartbeat. He was there, he loved her. It was a silent revelation, and she just let his emotions flow into hers, until she couldn't distinguish between the two, and she didn't care.

Her hands and somehow gripped on his shirt, and she just simply sent Just don't go. Please don't go.
