Just for you J/E fans, this chapter has some J/E in it. There will be more, probably nest chapter. Next chapter will probably be the last, I'm not sure yet. Anyway, enjoy chapter five!!!

Chapter Five: Coming Home

Brennan was lying immobile on the car floor. After a couple minutes he congregated enough energy to push his upper body off the floor.

"Shal?" Brennan called looking towards the drivers seat. "Shal?" Brennan asked again, a little louder this time. "Doc?" the elemental called looking left. 'Great.' Brennan said to himself. 'They're both unconscious.

Brennan propped himself up, putting his legs on the back seat. He leaned backwards between the front two seats. "Hey." Brennan called softly, touching Shalimar's face gently. "Shal, wake up." He said, still speaking quietly. Shalimar moved a little and opened her eyes.

"Brennan?" She asked looking at him. He smiled and nodded. "Are you alright?" Brennan asked looking at the seatbelt burn on her neck. "Yeah, I think." Shalimar said. "What happened?" Brennan looked at Bill before returning his attention to Shalimar. "Someone pulled out in front of us and you slammed on the brakes to avoid an accident." Brennan said looking back over at his friend.

"What's he doing here?" Shalimar asked seeing Bill. 'She doesn't remember.' Brennan thought. "Oh." Shalimar said quietly as she started to remember. "Brennan! Are you ok?!" Shalimar cried suddenly. "So you do remember." Brennan said with a smirk. "I'm fine." He answered with a small smile.

"Doc?" Brennan asked looking at Bill. "Brennan." Dr. Palance said looking at Brennan. "Are you hurt?" Brennan asked looking at Bill. "No." Bill said after making sure he was all right. "Shal," Brennan said turning back towards her. "Are you all right to drive?"

Shalimar let out a small laugh. "I'm fine." She answered. "Really." Brennan sighed. "Alright. Let's go."

Sanctuary:

"I can't believe Adam still hasn't said anything." Jesse said watching Emma take out the movie. "He probably lost track of time doing some research or something." Emma said sitting on her bed next to Jesse. "Yeah." He agreed, smiling at Emma.

"I wonder why they're not back yet." Emma said nervously. "Calm down Emma." Jesse said. "I'm sure they're fine. They probably stopped for a cappuccino or something." He said. "Yeah, maybe." Emma said returning his smile.

They sat in silence for a while, just staring at each other. Emma got a hit off him and had to force back a huge smile. Jesse slowly leaned in towards Emma. Emma did the same to Jesse. Finally, their lips touched and the couple was instantly caught in a passionate kiss. Too soon, however, Emma's door opened on them.

"Emma?" Adam called entering her room. The two broke apart just after Adam looked up. "Yeah?" Emma asked, almost laughing at the surprised face Adam was making. Adam looked from Emma to Jesse, and then back at Emma.

"Um, nothing from Brennan or Shalimar?" Adam said ignoring what he had just witnessed. "Nope." Emma said. "Sorry." Adam simply nodded and left Emma's room, shutting the door behind him. As soon as he was gone, Emma and Jesse looked at each other and exploded with laughter.

In the car, on the road, on the way to Sanctuary:

"Almost there." Shalimar announced. "How are you hanging in there?" She asked Brennan. "Just peachy." Brennan said, once again lying across the back seats.

Dr. Palance was asleep in the passenger seat and was snoring quietly. "Doesn't take much for him to fall asleep does it?" Shalimar said smiling. "Well, you can't blame him. He's had a rough day." Shalimar nodded as she turned the car to the right.

"I wonder if Emma told Adam." Brennan said aloud. "About what?" Shalimar said thinking she missed something. "This." Brennan explained. "Emma told me that something was going to happen to Dr. Palance. That's how I knew to come." He finished. "Oh, ok." Shalimar said, understanding.

"Finally, we're here." She said pulling up to Sanctuary. "Garage door open." Shalimar said. Nothing happened. "Garage door open." Shalimar repeated. Shalimar looked worried at Brennan. "Why isn't it working?" She asked. "I don't know." Brennan told her.

"Just open it with the button." He suggested. Shalimar nodded and pressed the small button next to the dashboard. "Why isn't it working?!" Shalimar asked again, getting aggravated. Bill awoke with a snap when Shalimar shouted. "Sorry." She said trying to calm herself down.

"What's happening?" Bill asked noticing that they were stopped in front of a huge rock. "Sanctuary's garage door won't open." Shalimar said flashing her eyes at the door. "I don't think that will help, Shal." Brennan laughed, knowing what she was doing. "Any ideas?" She asked returning her eyes to their normal appearance. "Yeah." Brennan said.

"Help me get out of here." He said. "Are you serious?" Shalimar asked. "Yeah." Brennan said. Shalimar got out of the car, and helped Brennan to get out. "Okay, set me down." Brennan said holding on to Shalimar. "What are you going to do?" Shalimar asked, after lowering him to the ground. "Just watch." Brennan said.

He revolved his hands around each other concentrating all his energy on them. Small bolts of electricity formed between them and he quickly shot them at the door. Before they even hit the door, Brennan fell back, unconscious.
