Triangle Revisited: Chapter 2

A/N: Thank to those who have reviewed. The answer to how to explain her family will be in the future chapters of the fic. Emily however will not appear in my story. When I first started writing this story I wanted to say something about Emily. All I can say is that maybe when they were implanting Scully's egg they thought that the extraction process has damaged the eggs, since they will all be nonviable, and instead of throwing the whole batch out and due to CSM's interference they doctored or altered it somehow to be able to accept sperm through in-vitro. Now, on with the story.
Chapter 2
The man smiled.
With a sharp quick gesture of his hand, two more soldiers materialized from the midst of the crowd to take Dr. Wittenberg away. He turned to the figures of Mulder and Scully standing before him so defiantly before uttering a quick burst of German to the soldiers surrounding the room.
Mulder turned to Scully and whispered to her, " What did he say?" His question was answered when one of the soldiers forced them to kneel. "Nevermind, I think I know what he said."
Scully smirked at him before responding sarcastically, " Gee you learn fast."
The soldiers behind them prodded them to put their heads down. Resigned to their fate Mulder and Scully bowed their head waiting for the inevitable but when the shots never arrived they looked up. Everyone in the ballroom was quiet. The silence was unnatural, as if something was missing, but whatever it was Scully couldn't place what element was missing. It was Mulder who pointed out the difference.
"The engines. It's been shut down."
Suddenly the crewmen and the sailors who were previously locked away came running into the room to engage the Nazi soldiers. Mulder and Scully not ones to miss an opportunity used the distraction to knock down the soldier in front of them and ran for the exit the soldiers that dragged away Dr. Wittenberg took. It didn't take them long to find Dr. Wittenberg who was left locked inside one of the cabins. Once they freed him they ran towards the bridge of the ship. Mulder, who was in the lead, came to an abrupt when he encountered a Nazi soldier with a gun barring the way. The soldier shouted for them to surrender but before the soldier could do much else a shot rang in the passage and the Nazi soldier slumped over dead. Behind the soldier was a Nazi officer who gave them a jaunty salute before running in the opposite direction. Spurred on by the events that just occurred Mulder grabbed Scully's arm and took off hurriedly towards the bridge. Once they reached the bridge, Mulder hauled Scully off to the side.
Scully, who has had enough, asked, "What are you doing?!"
Mulder gave her another one of his smirks before answering. "I'm going to tell you how to save this ship. I can't stay. I gotta get back to history.
Confused with his answer, Scully broke Mulder's grasped on her arm. "What?!"
Seeing that Scully is confused, he grabs her by the shoulder and forces her to look into his eyes. "Wait. Listen to me. This ship's been caught in something called the "Devil's Triangle". It's some kind of time warp - a rift in space."
Scully shook her head in denial. "Are you crazy?"
"No! You have to listen. You know Einstein right?" Mulder waited for a moment to give Scully the opportunity to respond. When she responded affirmatively he continued on. "Well he predicts the theoretical possibility of an atomic weapon that will destroy the world. If you don't turn this ship around the German will gain the knowledge needed to make that prediction come true. If you don't' turn this ship around you will and I will cease to exist. History as I know it will be changed. And in case that happens I have to do this."
Before Scully can get a word in edgewise his lips were covering hers in one of the most passionate and intoxicating kisses Scully has felt. It didn't take long for her to start responding to his kiss. A few seconds later, Mulder breaks off the kiss and releases her. She looks him in the eye before hauling back her right fist and punching him in the face.
Mulder smiles at her while he rubs his injured jaw. "I expected a lefty." With that parting remark Mulder runs off towards the railing of the ship and jumps over.
Scully didn't know why it she believed Mulder but she did as he asked. After telling Dr. Wittenberg to go by the ship's railing and to be ready to jump, she steered the ship around then ran to his side. As they jumped an explosion from behind them propelled them farther out to sea. Both Dr. Wittenberg was knocked unconscious by the blast. Scully was barely conscious upon landing in the water. As she surfaced the last thing she recall was another blast of heat coming from the direction of the Queen Anne. She later awoke when she was hauled on board a fishing boat. Looking around her surrounding she noted the debris on the water and concluded that the ship must have exploded and have sunk while she was unconscious. Her attention was then garnered by one of the other fisherman as they hauled one water logged Dr. Wittenberg on board. Giving one last glance at the sea and debris field before her, Scully asked the men who helped them if they picked up another man fitting Mulder's description. When they denied finding anyone resembling him, Scully assumed that he was killed. Turning away from the remains of the Queen Anne she faced fishing boat they were headed to, all the while mourning Mulder's passage.
Scully's reverie was distracted by the pilot's announcement that they are to land momentarily. Arranging her seatbelt and propping her seat to its full upright position in preparation for the landing, Scully couldn't help but wander what they will find when they reached their destination.
A/N2: Sorry for the delay. I had some stuff come up but I will try to update more frequently. The following chapter is half done and should be done in a few days. Thanks for reading and please review. If you have any ideas of how Mulder would react? Also I would like your input: Should Mulder be immortal or not? Please let me know either through the reviews or by email. Thanks again.
