Chapter two: In the edge of the storm...
"We're almoast there Lex..." Jesse informed the woman. Brennan was having a hard time trying to get control of the Helix, he looked at Shalimar a few times between piloting and hearing Jesse's advices. Shalimar was looking at everywhere but him. She smiled a couple of times at jesse and then went back to the landscape.
"Brennan change the... Brennan? Brennan!" Jesse shouted. Shalimar was suddenly turning her attention to the men before her. She never abbandoned her sit and just looked at the scene. Jesse was shouting, and talking to Brennan but the elemental seemed not to notice that at all, like being in a come or something. It was then when Shalimar reacted. She stood up instinctivly and shook him a bit.
"Brennan???" She shouted desperated. "Jesse what's going on?"
"I dont know Shal... he... just froze... I just put the Helix on autopilot.." Jesse said to her.
"Brennan, Brennan can you hear me?" Shalimar asked again, this time, concern in her voice.
"Shal?" Brennan came to reality. He looked around and saw everything where it was supposed to be, the Helix, Jesse, and Shalimar.
"If you were faking this im so gonna..." Shalimar didnt finish her sentence going back to her sit.
"Hey! I didn't fake anything! One minute I was piloting the Helix, and then it was like I was somewhere else... darkness all around.." Brennan said kinda mad at the feral for even considering that.
"Do you remember more?" Jesse asked as he approached to him.
"Nah... but my head spins.." Brennan complained. Jesse went back to his seat and started typing some things on the keyboards. "Well, accordin to what I researched, this law firm building has 8 floors, what we need to do is break into their data base, which is located on the 5th floor. Im gonna work on the security systems but all I guarantee is till 3rd floor, so you'll be on your own until you reach the 5th one. As long as I finish, I'll join you..." Jesse informed. Brennan was still procesing the informarion received as Shalimar thought of how much fun was she going to have. She was still kinda weak for the flu thing, but as she mentioned before when Brennan almoast made her stay in bed, she wouldn't miss that kinda fun for nothing in the world.
(* * *)
"I don't have time for this shit! Just leave me alone!!!" Lexa shouted. In front of her there was a dark haired man, laughing.
"Guess you didn't tell your friends, did ya?" The man asked in an evil enjoying the situation tone.
"Don't have anything to say to them, now leave me alone!" She snapped at him again. This time, preparing for an attack.
"C'mon Lexa.. you know that won't work..." The man said again. He was approaching to her now. Lexa backed off a bit but found herself between the wall and him. The man took a knife out and licked it, Lexa was filled in disgust now.
"Well... Lexa I really don't wanna hurt you... so start things fast, 'cause this can get really bad..." He threatened her and the cut her arm just a little bit.
"what about her? Where is she?" Lexa asked furiously.
"oh... the psyonic uh? Didn't think you'll mind... you know when she comes back your so called friends are gonna kick you out right? You were just to replace her... eventually they'll notice you're worthless... soon I hope.." The man said to her gladly.
"you're gonna regret this..." Lexa said angrily.
"oh am I? Lexa, just do what you were asked for, and watch out, 'cause if we find out you're not doing your part of the job... we will kill you... and your friends... if they aren't dead by then...." He said as Lexa suddenly woke up.
"Emma... guys... oh god... please forgive me.." She said getting up instantly and heading to the computer's section. She started downloading Sanctuary's data base, locations, security systems, everything.
(* * *)
"are you ready?" Shalimar asked Brennan as they hid behind some trees waiting for Jesse's sign.
"born ready." He replied coldly. Tension was definetly there between them.
"well guys... count of three, you won't have much time to enter so don't waste too much time on guards okay?" Jesse kilmartin's voice was heard.
"done." Brennan replied mentally counting how many guards where there.
"well... 1... 2... NOW!" Jesse shouted. Brennan and Shalimar came out and headed to the main entrance. There were 10 guards there now approaching to the pair. They splitted up as they took down the guards, Shalimar was kicking one and punching another one, as Brennan hit everyone that got near him. Suddenly he saw something shining on one of the guards pocket, that one seemed to belong to a higher level, and what he was taking out was a strange gun and was pointing it at Shalimar.
"Shal! Watch out he's got a gun!" Brennan yelled desperated. When he looked at her he realised she was covered by agents and didn't even notice what he had said, so he kicked the one of the guys that were attacking him and punched the other one approaching to her.
"What the...?" Shalimar said as she turned and saw Brennan get shot. " BRENNAN!!!" She shouted and caught him before falling onto the ground. The guards now all surrounding them with the guy that shot Brennan moving towards them.
"Brennan... Brennan please stay here..." Shalimar said between cries. He managed to open his eyes and smile. Shalimar didn't control and kissed him desperately but carefully not to hurt him more. When she broke appart she checked his wound.
"Its very deep Brennan... damn! You shouldn't have done that! That was for me!" She said sadly that he was hurted because of her.
"Sorry Shal, im not letting YOU die..." Brennan said as he tried to stand but was repressed by Shal's hands.
"what you think you're doing?" Shalimar asked as she peeked at the guards that were slowly surrounding them and waiting to attack.
"You can't take them alone.." Brennan said to her.
"What??? I so can Brennan, now stayed lied." She said as she stood up and looked at the guards.
"well well.. if it isn't... Fox... feral, great fighter, mid 20's, super senses developed..." The man said as she rounded him.
"seems like we've done our homework..." Shalimar replied then hit him hard on his back. All the guards reacted to that hit and were running towards her. She jumped high and kicked two guards, then landed and punched another one, she went on fighting till there was none of them standing.
"Jess, rush here, Brennan is hurted..." Shalimar announced over her comlink ring as she took the last guy down, then went back to Brennan.
"maybe I underestimated you..." Brennan said with a smile.
"Jess is on his way..." She informed him and helped him stand.
"Shal... does this means we're cool again?" Brennan asked her half laughing. "you have to take into account I just got a bullet for you..." He teased.
"you scared the hell out of me..." She said getting a new picture of his eyes. Brennan was now staring at her as they both were about to lean for a kiss when Jesse appeared with the Helix.
"C'mon guys.. I've already told Lexa about what happened... she is worried.." Jesse lied. Lexa's first reaction wasn't at all concern. She was mad, mad because teh job wasn't done. And mad because now she'll have issues.
(* * *)
"Thanks for that..." Brennan thanked Shalimar who had just wrapped his chest and took the bullet out. Brennan was sitting on the medical bed as Shalimar finished examining his wound. Jesse was trying to calm Lexa down as she entered the lab.
"well, are you okay now Mulwray?" Lexa asked him arms crossed. Shalimar was gonna snap at her but was stopped when Brennan rose his arm in sign not to respond her. "Now that you two finished playing kids, we need to finish a job.. so I want you to return to the building and do what I asked before." She said mad and started living.
"the hell we are!!" Shalimar couldn't control herself much.
"oh yes you are, believe me." Lexa said calmed down.
"Don't you undertand Lexa???? Brennan just got shot damnit! He can't go fighting again!" Shalimar shouted at her following her all teh way to the computers room.
"he is a strong man he'll live. Now go." Lexa said, now Jesse's hands were possing on Lexa's shoulders.
"Lex I can tell something is bothering you, why don't you just tell us?" Jesse asked her as he turned to see that Brennan was joining the chat.
"nothing is bothering me JESS." Lexa replied. "I just asked for a job and got nothing. That should piss anyone off." Lexa said again.
"no.. I know you... that's not what it is.." Jesse said again. Brennan and Shalimar couldn't feel more out of place as they went on sharing confused and akward looks.
"I just wanna have a good night sleep Jesse... and Brennan... im sorry for what I said back there, you too Shalimar..." She said as she left and started cyring up in her room.
"why??? Damn!" Lexa said as she hit the wall with her fists once and over again. "Emma.. if you're here... please help me.. please." She said again.
"Don't be scared... and tell them.. they have to know what's going on Lexa... He is coming back.. Im gonna break the link... but remember im here waiting... don't do this on your own okay?" Emma's voice and image was blurring now on Lexa's mind. A couple of seconds after she was gone.
(* * *)
"I can tell something ain't right... I mean she had acted like a bitch before but..." Brennan started saying.
"BRENNAN!" Jesse said mad at him.
"what? She had!" Brennan defended himself.
"She killed her own brother in order to save you Brennan and now you're calling her a bitch?" Jesse said mad. Shalimar, who had been remaining silence at the argument looked at both men who meant almoast everything to her. Her brother and... well... Brennan.
"c'mon guys stop it okay? Just... let's think.. what could possibly be happening?" Shalimar said as she gently placed her hand on Brennan's chest. That was only one of her habits with him. Jesse saw the gesture but didn't say a thing, he knew that flirting touching thing between those two by heart.
"I don't know... but whatever is happening.. is not good at all..." Brennan confirmed as he took Shalimar's hands on his and they both stared at Jesse and each other.
Author notes:
Okay, I know, there was no shippiness, but its part of the story, I call it a necesary chapter. Just to move on through teh story guys. Anyway, Shal did defend Brennan, and Jess Lexa, so let's take a look at that.. and for all Emma shippers she is coming back guys... for Jesse/Lexa shippers, nope, Emma won't pair up with Jess. For all Shal/Bren shippers (such as me), yeah, they ARE GONNA GET TOGETHER. All my fics are about them.
