Nothing's Fine I'm torn You're a little late, This is how I feel, I'm cold and I'm ashamed Lying naked on the floor, Illusion never changed into something real, I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn, You're a little late, I'm already torn, Torn.

Jessi wandered amidst the noise of the city, letting the honking cars and the bustling people to deafen his thoughts. He was furious, to say the least, Adam expected way too much of him. He did care about Shalimar, even if he had known her for only a couple of days. But maybe he was just stepping on Adam's shoes, I mean, what right did he have to come in to the team, and then.take Shalimar. * I'm never coming back there, * He thought, * my father can just go to hell! *

* * *

Shalimar woke up, groggily looking around. She tried to sit up but a blinding pain hit her head. "Ugh" she moaned, "I think I'm going to stay down for a little while. After five minutes of staring at the ceiling, she finally decided to get up. Gribbing her pulsing head with one hand, and her ribs with the other, she got off the bed. The door of the lab slid open before her, and she was met with the worried, pacing Adam.

"Shalimar!" He swopped her up into one big hug,

"Ooff, Adam, my rib." She winced, he kissed her on her forehead,

"Sorry, are you.how are you?"

"In pain, where's Jessi?" Adam looked uncomfortable.

"He.left."

"What? Why?" Shalimar untangled herself from Adam's arms,

" We had a little.disagreement."

"Adam! What did you say to him?"

"Look, I just don't think he should be in the team, "

"Adam, at this rate, you'll lose all the team mates we'll ever get! I have to go find him, " She moved to getpast him, but Adam stepped in her way,

"Shalimar, you're still not fully recovered, you can't go anywhere now, "

"Adam, we have to get Jessie back. He's a good member of team, you can't let him go like this." Adam frowned, but he knew he couldn't stop her.

"Allright, but.sleep a little, wait till nightfall, then after you're rested, you can go."

Jessi sat on a stool in a local club. It was gold, all the walls were gold, the ceiling, the furniture was old colored gold, he loved this place, it was one of his favorites. So after a hectic day, he decided to come here and mull things over. Night had fallen an hour ago, he could see through one of the curtained windows.

"Hey gorgeous," He turned around at the familiar voice. It was Shalimar. She walked a little slower, trying not to jar her headache into motion again. She sat down next to him, and he looked down again at his drink. "Hey, what are you doing here? Trying to get me back to Sanctuary?"

"Actually I am, " The music pulsed around them, "Look, Jessi, forget about what Adam said, he was angry and .scared. He didin't mean those things, "

"Well, it sure sounded like he did,"

"He's sorry, he wants you to comeback, " Jessi looked at Shalimar, then looked down again, thoughts growing fast in his mind.

"Shalimar, you know that if I come back this will happen again someday."

"Look," Shalimar stood up with finallity, "We have to stop this. You've only been here a few days, and the group is already falling apart. All of this, all these relationships and everything, this has to stop. We have a job to do in the team, and you're part of it! No matter what's up with me and Adam, we didn't let it interfere with our work, so, Jess, come back, and let's stop all this." She reached out a hand. And Jessi took it.

Adam waited for them in Sanctuary. Shalimar told him about the conversation they had in the club, and she was right, this was going to far. "We're home!" Adam heard Shalimar's voice in the hallway. "Hey!" He looked at Jessi, "I'm sorry Jess, I guess I over reacted, everything okay now?" Jessi nodded, and looked at his watch: midnight, "So.I'm back on the team right?"

"Right, and.Oh!" Adam pulled out a silver box. "I made these, yesterday, they're comlinks, and they are attuned to your own personal DNA." He opened the box, inside lay a perfect silver ring. Jessi took it gentley, and slipped it on his finger. The ring flared to life and showed a unique golden pattern,

"Thankyou Adam, this means a lot." They grabbed wrists, and Jessi went up to bed, his footsteps reseeding on the cool floor.

"So, " Shalimar said coyly, "Where's my ring?"

"I'll show you," Adam said, "but not now, you should go change first, and rebandage your rib. "

"Yes sir!" Shalimar teased, and before he could catch her, raced up stairs.

*** Shalimar walked downstairs, changed and bandaged up. She wore a silk, long cream dress, and Adam was waiting for her by the little gurgling fountain.

"You look gorgeous, " he said as she walked towards him. She smiled shyly,

"Thanks," Adam held in his hands a twin silver box to Jessi,

"This is your ring," He flipped the lid open, "And mine, " Two identical rings lay nestled in the velvet. They slipped them on their fingers, the cool metal gliding across their skin. Shalimar smiled lazily in the twilight darkness and wrapped her arms around Adam's neck. Adam tilted her head up to meet his, and slowly brushed his lips to hers.

"I love you, " He whispered,

" I love you, Adam,"
