AN: I'm drowning in angst nooooo!!!!!!!!!

Ta for the reviews!!!!!

"We can't cure you again. You should know that before you do anything. The Antidote is a big strain on the system the first time around, it was a fault that Adam couldn't fix. The second time it would kill you." Emma told Shalimar, tears welling in her eyes that she could be so willing to leave them again after she had been gone so long.

"I won't leave you just yet Emma." She murmured, although reading her mind. "I've missed you all so much, even though I didn't know it."

Trying desperately to ignore the vial that Shalimar held in her hand, Emma's attention turned back to the hologram which still stood over them.

"Who was he?" She asked when she could find her voice again.

"A feral. Like me. His hair was longer than when that was taken." She glanced at the still hologram and looked away as though hit. "It used to glow a kind of red colour if he stood in the light. He saved my life. A couple of GSA agents had knocked me on my head and I couldn't see straight. I thought six of him had leapt in to save me." A sad half attempted smile couldn't hide the wave of pain and guilt that washed over her bringing new unshed tears to the surface. "I couldn't save him Emma. They were there for me; not him and I ran. I left him there. I let him die."

"You were trying to protect yourself and your child."

"And a great job I did of that, to." Shalimar laughed hoarsely.

"Oh, God Shal I am so sorry. I should have known I should have understood. It's my fault" But Shalimar wasn't paying attention to Emma's plea for forgiveness. Connections were forming at a million miles per hour until only one assumption could be made.

"He's still alive." She gasped.

"What? Who?"

"He is." Shalimar gestured at the hologram. "I saw them inject him with something and he called out I thought he was dying. I thought they'd killed him. But"

"The antidote."

"Exactly."

"So what are you going to do?"

"Find him, save him. Repay the debt."

OK, so it's short, but I've got a lot of info to pack into the next chapter so I figured shorter was better.

Will update soon!
