Strength of Will
Disclaimer: I won't own them. Ever. But I can wish....
Author's note: I used to be a big Brennan/Emma fan. After I read a few fanfics, I was converted to Brennan/Shalimar, which is good, since Brennan/Shalimar is definitely happening on the show..... yay!
This is dedicated to my friend Pilla, who promised to read this even though she's never seen an episode of Mutant X.
Well, I hope you enjoy this, pleeease review.

Brennan sighed deeply, and inhaled slowly. In and out. In. And out. He reached inside himself and felt the shimmering reservoir of pure power flowing in his center. He breathed the power. He felt the crackling electricity of it. He felt his control. His will to harness the flow of his power, to make it do what he wanted and not to overwhelm him. He rode the whirlwind of force......
"BRENNAN!"
"Ah!" Brennan was wrenched out of his meditation, and jerked backwards
"Sorry, Brennan. You looked a little out of it, and you weren't responding to me." Shalimar said apologetically, moving to sit down on the side of the pond next to Brennan.
"I was *trying* to meditate." Brennan snapped, but softened his words with a smile.
"Well, you were trying to hard. Anyway, it's lunchtime, and Emma is doing something or other with Adam, and Jesse's checking the safe houses, and I don't want to eat all alone...." She turned to Brennan and gave him her best pouting face.
Brennan laughed. "You pussy! Alright, I'm coming."
Shal smiled playfully at him and batted at his arm. "I'll run ahead. Don't take your time."
Brennan smiled after her. She was such a good friend, and she could almost be.... but, no, she was first and foremost his friend. And partner.
Stretching his arms out in front of him, he unfolded his legs and hopped forward of the edge of the pond where he normally meditated. And before he could do more than tense a muscle, something slammed into his head and he felt himself fall backwards, into the pond and into oblivion.
