DIFFERENT WAYS OF UNDERSTANDING
Chapter one: What Lexa hides...
"im starving..." Jesse Kilmartin announced.
"Jess... you're always hungry..." Brennan cleared the point. The two mutants approached the kitchen and served themselves some dinner. They had been busy hunting the bad guys the three past nights. Shalimar was not feeling okay lately, she might have had the flu they thought, and Lexa, she was weird, she wasnt sleeping enough and that was starting to affect their work.
"well we did a great job tonight... can't wait to tell Shal we got rid of that Nax guy..." Brennan said as he grabbed a slice of pizza. He suddenly noticed jesse's stare. He was looking at the elemental with a very weird look. "what?" Brennan finally asked.
"nothing... you go and check on Shal..." Jesse said with a grin.
"uhu... Hey I know that look.. i know what you're thinking Jesse and let me tell you, knock it off!" Brennan said as he indeed headed towards Shalimar Fox's room. He knocked one time and heard her weaky voice. She wasn't fine that was obvious.
"come in Brennan..." Shalimar allowed him in. She was buried herself under the blankets, only head revealing.
"Shal... are you sure you're alright? Maybe we can get you a doctor or something... you don't look good..." Brennan said worried. He approached and sat on the edge of her bed.
"gee Brenn, that was just what i wanted to hear from you..." Shalimar teased as she looked deeply at the man in front of her. "so, how was it?"
"you'd love it." Brennan said simply.
"I bet I would have..." Shalimar said as she suddenly came out of her little refuge. She approached more and more to him, crawling in her bed, as she finaly reached her target.
"what are you doing..?" Brennan said almoast laughing at the scene, though he found this whole crawling thing VERY attractive.
"guess it was fun after all.." Shalimar said backing off now. She covered herself in her blankets again and turned not to see him.
"Shal I can explain.." Brennan started as he passed his finger through his neck to prove that there was something in it. It was red lipstick. He didn't tell Shalimar nor Lexa that he had to do something "especial" to get the information of the guys they wanted to take down. And suddenly felt the need to explain Shalimar how exactly things went.
"hey you don't need to Brennan... it's not like we have something... now, could you go I could really use some sleep.. feel like hell..." Shalimar said.
"but Shal.." Brennan insisted.
"told ya Brennan... I really need my sleep.." Shalimar said again. The elemental knew when to stop with the feral. He knew wether she was mnad at him or not, she had her mood, and that definetly wasn't the best mood she could have. He left silently and shut the door behind him.
(* * *)
"eating again??? I don't know what the hell you do to keep fit Jesse... is the end of the world coming?" Lexa teased and yawned. She hadnt slept for days. Jesse could see the tiredness on the woman and kept his comments to himself.
"so Lex... don't you wanna take a nap or something? You haven't sleept in days.." He said now giving up his pizza.
"no... don't have time to sleep..." Lexa merely said.
"more work to do?" Jesse said almoast concerned. That past days Brennan and him were the only ones going out on missions since Shalimar's recently flu thing, and Lexa's insomnio.
"not really... not now at least..." Lexa informed him. "im gonna do some research about something.. be right back.." She said leaving Jesse very confused.
"okay." Jesse replied watching her leave. Jesse looked at the screen in front of him. He started typing some things. Then he started hacking Lexa's e mail. He didn't know why, but he knew she wasn't telling the whole picture and didn't like the idea at all.
"oh shit!" Jesse yelled as he saw like 50 mails from the dominon. "what the hell is happening here???"
(* * *)
Brennan was punching the bag so hard, his knuckles had started bleeding by then. He had been doing that for over 30 minutes now, and yet, felt no relief at all.
"Hey Brennan we need to..." Jesse Kilmartin suddenly stopped. He crossed his arms and stared at the elemental with a curious look.
"what is it Jesse...?" Brennan said not even looking at him. He just stood there punching the bag all over again.
"ah... Brennan... is anything wrong?" Jesse asked hoping his friend to answer. Instead of that, Brennan went on with the exercising.
"are you gonna say something or are just gonna stand looking at me hitting the bag Jesse?" Brennan said angrily.
"no.. I... we have some problems..." Jesse said again not taking his eyes of the elemental. Brennan didn't seem to care at all that he was hurting himself really bad. "but, I really need you in one piece before i tell you..."
"yeah whatever man..." Brennan said. He stopped his rutine and went for a towel. Carefully putting it round his shoulders he went out the room. "Is it urgent? Or shall i take a shower before?" Brennan said again in a bad mood.
"I think you should have that shower..." Jesse said as he left the elemental alone.
"argh..." Brennan complained heading towards his room. He entered it and quickly got rid of all his clothes leaving a track of them as he went inside the bathroom. He turned the shower on as the cold water drifted away.
(* * *)
"Why are we here anyway...?, I really don't think im feeling okay so I'll just go..." Shalimar said now getting Brennan's look. As she was gonna stand up was instantly stopped by Jesse waving his hand.
"no Shal, this is serious. Really, we need you here... at least until we finished this meeting." Jesse ordered. Shalimar gave Brennan a slightly look before sitting again.
"fine." She said coldly.
"C'mon Jesse knock it off and just say whatever you wanna say..." Lexa snapped at him. She had lots of work to do to waste her time at that.
"fine Lex... then you'll have to explain us this." Jesse told her. He turned to the computer and typed a bunch of stuff none of the team could see. Then an image of a man appeared.
"so? Did you do what you were asked to? You know time is going by right? And the psyonic wont hold forever..." An old, dark haired man said. Lexa's face was horrified. Shalimar was now paying more attention to the scene as she stared at her with curiosity. Jesse and Brennan did the same.
"well... do we really need more?" Jesse asked Lexa.
"Jesse yo had no right to interfiere in my business!" She said angrily. She stared at him with hate. Then turned to see Shal and Brennan. "go to hell!" She snapped as she started to walk away. Shalimar stood up almoast instantly and stopped her way, now Brennan and Jesse looking.
"you should really get out of my way Shalimar." Lexa threatened her. Shalimar gave her one of her 'I couldn't care less of what you'll do' look, and didn't move an inch. Lexa was about to hit Shalimar when the feral easily avoided the punch. Shalimar wasn't feeling okay anyway, but she wasn't gonna let the woman have her will that time. Just as Lexa was going to start a new attack Brennan shot her with a little of electricity.
"oh.. isn't this cute??" Lexa said ironicaly. Jesse was avoiding the whole scene. "well well.. seems like sparky finally shows his claws... or hers?" Lexa said enphatizing the fact that Shalimar was a feral. Brennan didn't like the comment at all and was furious. Shalimar, she was peeking at Brennan's reaction as she stood in front of Lexa.
"Lexa come on we don't need to do this, we're a team now, just.. talk to us..." Jesse said waiting for any sign of emotion in the woman. Lexa blinked and stared at him. Then at Shalimar and Brennan. "to me..." Jesse added. Lexa was feeling like she was gonna start to cry but instead she left coldly, Shalimar and Brennan following her with their sight closely.
"whatever got into her... we must get it out..." Shalimar broke the silence. Jesse left the room leaving her with Brennan.
"well.. I guess im gonna... you know..." Brennan said agitating his hands in sign he was going to his room. He was almoast there when he heard her saying.
"thank you." Brennan smiled at himself and entered his room.
(* * *)
Lexa was so mad at the team she wasnt thinking clearly. She lied on her bed and stared at the celling, arms behind her neck.
"he shouldn't.. he didn't have the right damnit!" She screamed as she closed her eyes. Quickly, she was asleep.
"help me! help me Lexa!!!! I can't take this anymore!!! Please!" A redhead said while she was being beaten up. Lexa tried to reach to her but neevr got where she was. She was running and running down a white hall seeing the psyonic just further and further.
"Emma???" Lexa shouted. "EMMA!!!!!" Again, and again. Never reaching her.
(* * *)
The next morning... Shal was better and was starting to come out of her room. She wasn't much of an insider kinda girl. Brennan found her sparring lightly as he supported his weight to the nearest wall. He just stared at her with a smile. He knew thing between them weren't perfect, but even they deserve to have a talk, those weren't appropiated times to do so. They had a clue. A hint that might lead them to Emma, maybe Adam.
"guess you're feeling better..." Brennan said as he slowly approached her.
"kinda." Shalimar replied coldly.
"great.. she must still be mad at yesterdays..." Brennan thought. He looked at her and possed a hand on her shoulder, but Shalimar avoided the move and turned.
"Shal.." Brennan started. "I really want us to talk.."
"not now Brennan... im busy besides we have to be prepared to the mission.." Shalimar replied hitting the bag.
"fine.. have it your way.. you know what? Im kinda getting tired of all this im princess of ice thing, so fine, as you ask I wont bother you again." Brennan said leaving mad. Shalimar's expression turned to reveal she wasn't mad herself, she knew he was angry now.
(* * *)
"this is it: Shalimar, Brennna, you 2 are gonna break into this law firm building, we need to get information and they happened to be senior partners of the dominion. I know you want me to explain everything, i know you're wondering why hit against the dominion, well, you'll have your answers when i have mine... Jesse you're gonna take care of every security system and then joined the guys, they are gonna need any help out there... I'll be monitoring everything from here.. now go!" Lexa said. Shalimar got her coat and followed Brennan and Jesse towards the Helix.
