This takes place in "In Between" after Lexa walks out on Shalimar after saying something to her contact.
* * *
Lexa walked past Shalimar to the computer area, her contact would tell her where to meet him when he found something. Her mind wasn't on her contact, Lexa's mind was on what she had said to her Dominion-contact only seconds ago, her words flashed in her mind. 'I live with him, I work with him, he saved my life. Of course I care', if only her contact knew the half of it. In the beginning, as with Brennan and Shalimar, she would of course try to save their life. Out of humanity, though, not out of personal feelings. But now, Lexa would die to save Jesse. She didn't know exactly how she felt about him, but she could imagine what life in Sanctuary would be like if he had died right now. His death wouldn't only break Lexa's heart, as built up as it is, but Jesse's death would also break the bonds that Lexa had with Shalimar and Brennan. Shalimar and Brennan would hate the Dominion for not helping and soon would blame Lexa when they didn't feel any better.
In an ironic way, Jesse held up all the bonds between Mutant X. Because he cared about Lexa, Brennan and Shalimar held a higher respect for her. Of course, Lexa didn't care what Brennan and Shalimar thought or felt about her, Lexa only cared about Jesse now. She walked to the lab and looked through the clear window. Brennan was sitting in a chair, unconscious, next to Jesse who was shifting and twitching every few seconds.
Lexa hated watching Jesse's angelic face in so much agony when Lexa couldn't do anything to help him. His eyebrows creased and he frowned before he winced and screamed in pain. "What are you thinking about?" she whispered softly to him, even though he couldn't hear her, his face was set in concentration that made her wonder. Absentmindedly, she put her fingers on the glass.
Jesse's fists clenched, Lexa watched as his lips parted. "Lexa," he mouthed.
Lexa's heart skipped a beat and her breath caught in her throat. "Lexa," he repeated louder, she could hear him this time. Dr. Robinson rushed to Brennan's side and whispered something to his ear while Lexa's eyes stared at Jesse. Lexa wanted to go to Jesse, make Dr. Robinson connect her mind to his. Suddenly, her phone rang.
Lexa reluctantly answered it, never taking her pale blue eyes off of Jesse. "Lexa ..." the voice of her contact began. Lexa wished that her name was called by Jesse, but she was torn away from her wishful thoughts. 'I have to save him another way'.

A/N I don't know if this will be a regular thing (writing little chapters that happen between episodes) but I hope you like this one.
