Wow, its here, after Natters E-mailed me (!!) Thanks for the push, and someone (who where you, I'm not connected to look uot up, reviewed, I was forced to actually gert off my tush and finish this. Well… I did have a lot of problems, my computer broke, my keyboard fried, my Junior Year in Highschool in AP and honors classes (lotsa homework, like I should be doing now -_-;;) But it is HERE!! ENJOY!!!

-*-*-Nine is over Ten begun-*-*-

            Bester turned around from the now closing Turbo lift doors to see Lyta standing across the room, a smirk playing her face. He knew if he assaulted the Captain, he would immediately be put in the Brig. "Stand down." He knew they had to. He couldn't hear anything, Lyta had to have shielded the room. Was she really that powerful?
The telepaths all found there way behind Bester in formation.

            "Corwin, start the turbo lift."

            "Done sir."

            "Mr. Bester." Sheridan started calmly.

            He smirked. Looked at Lyta, and said one word. "Masks."

            And the threw down a small sphere that started to release a gas about the time it rolled in front of Lyta's feet.

            A thick gray smoke billowed forth, as Bester placed on his mask. It then stopped, a thick cloud hanging in thin air. Lyta shook her head.

            "Do you honestly think, that I'm going to let you get away with whatever this is?"

            He looked at the cloud, but didn't give away any sign to what he was thinking.

            "Do you honestly think this is my only plan? If you kill me, there are people…"

            "Your people can't do anything to me Bester."

            He smirked. "You'd be surprised…"

            A beep went off somewhere in the room.

            "Mr. Collins, answer that aloud. Tell them it is an unsecured channel."

            One of the telepaths nodded, and opened a small video/audio device. Lyta watched intently, but was more focused on Bester and his motions, and keeping the gas contained. "Its just a text message sir. Encrypted."

            "Decode it."

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

            "How are we getting through here?"

            "We're going to run the whole way, can't risk any enclosed areas again. Besides, this way it is harder to find us. It will take anyone a while to get through down below, and especially if they don't know it well. We've got to hurry though."

            "What's you're plan after that?"

            "We hope they get thrown off the station. Delenn gave me something for use to contact, I'm suppose to contact her, in four hours."

            "If they aren't?"

            "We fight, I for one refuse to go peacefully."

-*-*--*-**--*-*-*-

            "Decoded sir."

            "What does it say?" Bester did not move his eyes from Lyta. He was trying to scan, trying to find a weakness in the shields that Lyta had put up. He found none.

            "Our orders have changed. There is enough to go with the other plan." He gave Bester a almost curious look.

            "Go through the lift now."

            "You are not going anywhere!" Sheridan ordered. "This is my station and I will not have you rampaging about."

            "Why Captain, we are following orders, not rampaging about. We have a job to do-and in this situation the Psicorps, has the authority."

            "You have no authority. I advise you leave."

            Sheridan used his link to call a security.

            "Captain, I promise you one thing, and one thing alone. I will be back and time, we will succeed."

            *-*-*-*

            "They're gone."

            The little communication devise that Susan was holding relayed the message from Delenn to her. She sent to Marcus in confusion when what? How?
            He relayed the message back.

            "Susan, calm, we're not to sure ourselves. We will be sure to explain later. You three are wanted in Medlab. We'll meet you there."

            This can't be it.
            "It never ends, Susan."

            -*-*-*-*
            Susan walked into med lab, Mari and Marcus close behind her. Her nervousness reflected to Mari. She was still hooded, not wanting to attract attention in the halls.

            Med lab was quiet, the hum of machinery, with a few staff and a couple patients. She could hear Lyta, and Sheridan quietly talking, and feel Delenn and Stephen near. "There you are."

            She nodded. Delenn, we're going to get better now? Mari asked.

            "Yes." Lyta answered for her.

            How is this going to be done then?
            Simply, Lyta answered back switching over to telepathic speech I'll just go in and remove the blocks.

            Susan and Mari both tensed instinctively. That requires a deep scan…

            Yes. You two are amazingly connected to each other. I've never seen two Telepaths that dependent on each other.

            We have to be.Susan answered quickly.

            I know…I know. Lets get this over with shall we…I don't think this is going to be fun for any of us. Lets go into the isolab, it will be quieter…and easier to deal with you two.

            The rest of the group followed.

            Susan and Mari set on the white bed, having a private conversation.

            This is going to be it right, Susan?
            I…I don't  know…but we will be able to see and talk again.

            You…you won't leave me?

            Mari! She pulled the child into her lap. I'll always be here for you. I'm not going to leave you now. She sent comfort and reassurance into the child.

            Good.

            "When you get your sight back, your going to have to be careful you two." Dr. Franklin spoke to the two of them, the whole Dr. air that he had taking over. "You're eyes haven't functioned  in a long time, and are going to be sensitive to light, for a few days."

            Gotcha.

            Mari, I'm going to go remove your blocks first.

            Both of you are going to have to remove most, and if possible all, all the connections to each other telepathically.

            We haven't done that before…Susan protested slightly.

            Susan, Mari sent, fear…I don't want that…Feelings of being        alone rushed into Susan's mind from Mari's…

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

            Silence.

            There was nothing here. Just a void. Silence, no hum from any thought, any machinery, the air didn't even move.

            Mari could feel the coldness of the metallic flooring, seeping thought the thread bear clothing she had been given, as she had scrambled her way into what was a corner, and curled up there.

            Silence.

            Loneliness.

            She kept chanting in her mind, "Momma will come back, momma will come back…" Though now, it brought silent tears down her face, and she couldn't even whimper.

            She sniffled, and the sound seemed to echo throughout the room.

            Then the door opened.

            Her head turned towards the sound, only to see nothing, and know nothing of what was going on.

            A gruff voice spoke. "You, stay in here. Enjoy your company." It echoed so loudly, Mari wanted to cover her ears, and she heard a body hit the floor, and try to scramble up.

            The door shut, they were alone. Mari attempted to hide her tears- who ever it was, wasn't going to see her cry. Momma was coming back, she wouldn't be afraid.

            A tender strand of   telepathy touched her mind. She felt it, it wasn't intruding, and it didn't hurt like the bad men's did. She didn't understand how to block it though, so she sent, more or less just pushed out of her mind everywhere, Momma's coming to get me, you stay away!

            The telepathic probe stopped. You're Momma? The woman asked.

            Yes. My momma!

            How old are you?It was soft, and concerned. Mari drew close to the emotion…so little caring had been sent her way in the last weeks here. She didn't know who this person was, but she felt instinctively attracted to the nice voice, the calmness, the lack of hatred, and more of respect. She didn't understand why, nor really care, but she answered.

            I'll be ten in a few weeks.

            Oh God… Mari sensed her sadness, her pity, and her hatred towards the bad men. Come over here. Its alright.

            Mari was quiet for a moment. I can't see you…

            They…to you to?

            She could feel as tendrils of something entered her mind, and gave her perspective of the small room, she could feel the body in the center, and the calls around her, the floor and the ceiling respectively, and a small toilet in another corner. She slowly crawled to her, and as soon as she got there, touched the women's face to get a better understanding of whom she was.

            I'm Susan. She sent warm, calmness, into the little girls mind, and pulled her close.

            I'm Mari. She pulled into the bond that Susan had started with Mari, feeling for the first time in awhile, not alone.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

            It will be all right. I'll be right here. Susan sent to Mari, along with a little wave of comfort. Lyta's just going to help you-she's going to help both of us. And I'm going to be right here. You sitting in my lap so, I can't even move.

            You promise?

            Yes, Mari.

            Susan concentrated, and slowly started pulling back all telepathic connections she had…she pulled back slowly as not to startle the girl or herself. They both immediately felt alone, and separated by worlds, even if they were together. She held the child's hands, and Lyta began.

            Mari's hands whipped up to her face. "Its bright!"She p'thought and spoke.

            "Computer, lights 5%" The lights dimmed to almost the point where there was extremely little light in the room, and Mari let her hands down after a moment to let them adjust.

            She looked around and the people who were standing there, seeing them for the first time. Everyone looked so tall to her, and well, serious. It was a little shocking. She couldn't see many features, the little light wouldn't let her do that. Susan was behind her, and she wanted to turn and see her, but she couldn't turn around at the moment.

            Susan, it is your turn.

            Okay, I'm ready. She started disassembling blocks, so Lyta could get in with ease…and a few seconds later, she could open her eyes.

            She immediately reestablished a telepathic connection with Mari, and them slowly removed her hood. Her eyes gazed around the room. Dark shadows were casted everywhere, and even the little light in the room stung her eyes. But she could see John standing tall next to Delenn, whom looked on apprehensively, Dr. Franklin monitoring, and Mari in front of her. She stared at the girl for a moment, realizing, that this was the first time she'd even seen the girl. Then her eyes caught Marcus' whom was looking at her intently. It was the first time she'd seen him in so long, and even in the little light she could tell that his face was drawn with worry, and that his beard was just a little longer. She was mesmerized for a moment.

            "So you two, how do you feel?" Franklin asked with a grin.      

            Mari answered first. "Okay…the light hurts though."

            "Susan?"

            "I…I'm going to have to get use to this again." She broke off from Marcus' gaze. "Lets try and stand up Mari,  hrm?"

            They both stood, Susan reached out telekinetically by instinct anyway. It helped her feel more balanced, and aware of the things around her.

            "Now you two, I want you to stay in Medlab for 24 hours to make sure that your eyes adjust properly and that everything is going well. Understood?"

            Susan groaned.

-*-*-*-*-*-*Two hours later -*-*-*-*

            Susan and Mari set cross-legged cross from each other on the same Med Lab bed, quietly talking, the lights on about 15%.

            "Why do all the people stare at you?"

            "I use to work here, before everything."

            "I remember you talking about that. They seem happy to see you to."

            "Yeah…I…"

            The door to the isolab opened, and Michael, Stephen, Sheridan, and Marcus came in. She looked at them, their features clearer than before. She nearly glared at Michael, but restrained herself.

            "Hey, Susan…I'm…"Michael started. Susan could feel his embarrassment over what he had done. "I'm sorry you know. Buy you a drink later?"

            She hadn't had a drink in forever. "Sure….Anyway, why are all of you here?"

            "Bester." Sheridan Answered.

            "What now?" Susan tensed.

            "He left to easily."

            "I noticed."

            "He…He had a message from the Corps. They're plans changed. He promised to be back though. We're not exactly sure what or why let him leave."

            "I had a feeling there was something else up his sleeve."

            Marcus added in, "He always seems to."

            "Unfortunately, I know."

            John looked at Susan seriously. "He promised to be back. I don't know when or where, but he promised to be back."

            "We're ready for it." She looked at Mari whom nodded.

            Delenn smiled at them. "I'm glad that you two have done what was required of you. You are on complete leave for a couple days to relax from this whole affair."

            "Yes Entil'Zha."

            Delenn looked at John. "We should be going." She gave a look at Marcus then back at John.

            Garibaldi looked at them catching the hint. "Yeah, you know this station, Susan, always needs me. I'll be back in later to check on you three."

            And they left, leaving Susan, Marcus and Mari alone.

            "Do you think they planned that out before hand?"

            Marcus grinned. "Probably, not that I'd complain."

            "No, you'd probably beg for the chance…"

            "Maybe I did." He smiled, and it fell into silence.

            "I…"Susan started…she changed to telepathic speech for the privacy, and because at this moment she felt more comfortable with it. I…Thank you. I'm so glad that you've been here while I've been here.

            He stepped closer to the bed she was sitting on. Anytime, I'd like to spend a lot of time without outside stressful situations.

            She looked at him for a moment. "Are you asking me for a date?"

            "If you want to call it that my lady, I so agree."

            "My lady!?" She sputtered.

            "The date." He enquired. "After all you've been given some free time."

            She smiled. "Agreed."

            "I wanna come along!" Mari added in listing to the exchange. Susan looked at Marcus with this 'sorry' look, and shrugged.
