"Adam!" frantically yelled Brennan as he carried the limp form of Shalimar into the lab
"Put her on the table" ordered Adam.
The familiar yellow beam shot down from the ceiling, encasing Shalimar. Moving back and forth until finally it turned off calculating the damage done to the young new mutant and posting it on Adam's computer.
Brennan was back at Shalimar's side taking her hand in his.
"I need you all to leave, now"
"Adam, NO!" burst Brennan "I am not leaving her again"
"Brennan we need to let Adam work" Emma said placing a hand on his forearm
"Alright" finally he complied and the three remaining members left the lab.

Brennan paced the floor in the hallway outside the lab for what felt an eternity. Periodically glancing at his teammates for reassurance and guidance it finally dawned on him that he had no idea how they had managed to find them.
"How did you guys you know where to find us?"
Jesse spoke up first "when we got to the safe house Emma got a hit off Shalimar" was all he said hoping that Brennan would understand fully why he didn't want to continue
"How bad was it?" quietly he asked
Jesse looked to Emma waiting for the psionic to gather the strength to describe what she felt.
"Brennan now is...." Emma started but was interrupted by Brennan
"Please Emma I need to know what he did to her" he practically yelled
"Maybe you should ask her to tell you"
"Yeah you're right..I'm sorry...I didn't mean to snap at you" he apologized running a hand through his hair once again beginning to pace
[1 hour later]
Adam finally emerged from the lab looking tired and disheveled.
"How is she?" asked Jesse rising from his spot on the steps
"Stable. She had two broken ribs, a punctured lung, a concussion and internal bleeding but she is going to be fine"
"Can I see her?" asked Brennan
"Yes but only for a little while. You need rest and I want to run some scans on you as well"
"Adam I'm fine" protested Brennan. True his ribs were slightly sore but there was nothing Adam could do for that anyway.
Adam moved aside to let Brennan enter the lab
"Adam what aren't you telling us?" pleaded Emma
"Well anyone else would have died from the amount of internal injuries, but being feral helped her. Who ever this guy was he definitely did a number on her"
"It's more than that" started Emma drawing looks from Adam and Jesse. "When Brennan attacked the man in the warehouse....I could sense that he knew him...this wasn't some random act of violence"
Jesse and Adam merely exchanged concerned looks
[Lab]
Brennan slowly approached Shalimar's side trying hard not to break down and cry uncontrollably as he looked at her bruised and battered body.
"I am so sorry...get better because I don't know what my life would be like without you?" he sobbed lightly brushing an errant strand of her hair out of her face causing her to shift slightly "Shal?"
Opening her eyes and giving him a weak smile "Brennan...where?" hoarsely she asked
"Easy we're at sanctuary, Jesse and Emma found us" he said stroking her hair. "I am so sorry.....Shal...I couldn't" he broke down
"Hey it's not your fault" she replied touching his cheek wiping the tears away
"Did he...I mean....he" he struggled between sobs
"No he didn't rape me" softly she replied letting a stray tear run down her face
"I was so afraid I was going to lose you"
"It'll take a lot more than that to get rid of me"
"I love you so much"
"I thought I imagined you saying that to me on the helix" she replied kissing him on the lips. "Go get some rest you look like hell" jokingly she added
Smiling for the first time since the whole ordeal had started Brennan kissed her again and left for his room hoping the screams he heard in the warehouse wouldn't find him in his dreams.

TBC..I figured I had given enough of you heart attacks with the cliffhangers so I ended this chapter on a slightly happier note. However...Was Shalimar telling Brennan the whole truth? Want to find out? Then you'll have to Review!!!
