Author's Note: Okay, I had many things happen all at once, I know that's NO
excuse, but, I did write TWO chapters that I am putting up right here for
all of you...
To my reviewers and reviewers to be: Hi! Thanks for the reviews, please review more, it makes me want to write more. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Angst and cliffhanger warnings.
And the legal stuff-Mutant X isn't owned by me at all. Suing me will not help, I don't have any money. Kari's mine though, she's for sale, see me for details.
And this one's...
Perchance to dream....
Brennan knew at once it was a dream. It was a former nightmare, the one where he lost Adam and Emma, but it was a different replay this time. It seemed like a rerun, but he knew that Adam was alive. The scene switched to a peaceful Zen garden. Shalimar was sitting on a bench in the garden, waiting for Brennan. Brennan waved, and started toward her. Shalimar stood as he approached. "Cool dream," he said, "You along for the ride?"
Shalimar frowned.
"It's more like are you along for mine," Shalimar looked at him stunned, "This dream was mine till you came in."
Brennan stared at her. This was a new one.
Lexa stirred, then woke to sunlight streaming through the windows of her room. Something wasn't right, she felt anxiety running through the air. It ran up her spine and played on her senses.
She got up and headed for the kitchen. Strangely enough, it was deserted. She walked the halls, checking on her friends, who all were sleeping soundly. Stopping at Jesse's door, she looked in slowly, noticing that Kari had curled up on Jesse's chest, and her eyes were halfway open. It was strange to see her looking so unfocused, but the feel of the room was that they were in trouble. They needed the sleep though, and she left the room slowly, and quietly.
She headed back down the hallway to her room and felt eyes on her back. Turning around, she stared at the figure behind her. Instantly, she felt herself going faint. It was her brother, Leo.
Jesse sat staring at the pond in front of him. This Zen garden was beautiful. The air was slightly chilled, but clean. He felt the peace of the water in front of him and knew instantly that he wasn't alone. He turned to look and saw Kari behind him.
"Hey, where are we?" he asked, his voice sounding alien to him.
Kari smiled. He looked peaceful at last.
"The dreamscape," she said, "You needed the break. So did everyone else. And..."
Jesse got up and watched her face as she started to explain, eyes filling with concern as she stopped.
"And what, Kari," Jesse asked, "What have you done?"
Kari didn't answer him, just looked behind him. Jesse turned and met the eyes of his former teammate, Emma deLauro.
