'Oh for once Mutant may have a happy ending' said Shalimar
'Looks like it' Jesse said as they walked into the Sanctuary.
'First things first though... began Lexa 'Already heading to the lab to work on the cure' Jesse planted a kiss on cheek before he rushed to the lab.
'By the way' he shouted
'Get some rest, the both of you'
'I am beat' said Lexa
'Me too, I just want to go see Brennan before I catch some zees'
'Ok, I'm glad you to our together'
'Me too'
'Brennan' Shalimar said as she knocked on his door. There was no response. She pushed open his door. Shalimar's face went a pale shade, as the blood was drained from her. She was horrified; she fought for a gasp of air. Once she regained her composure she ran out of Brennan's room.
'Shal' Shouted Brennan, he pushed the brown haired woman who lay beneath him away, and grabbed his clothes on the floor.
'Brennan, leave her' Cordelia begged
'I can't' he ran out the room
'Shal open the door' The sobbing creature on the other side of the door didn't respond. Brennan had crushed her soul.
'Shal, Shalimar, open up, let me explain'
'Get lost' she screamed 'if I never see you gain it will be to soon'
'Shal I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt you. Its not what you think'
'Really! So explain it to me'
'Us breaking up was hard for me; really hard Cordelia helped me get over you. She gave me what I needed, and we actually had fun.'
'She was using you Brennan, to get to us. Her feeling weren't real, mine are'
'And mine are, and I really like her a lot'
'Why? Why did you pick her over me'
'She's funny, we laugh a lot together, and she's strong, but she lets me protect her sometimes. I love her innocence, her vulnerability and she's always there...' He stopped. It suddenly dawned on him, that he wasn't describing the brown haired woman that had just lay in his arms but the fragile woman that lay on the other side of the door.
'Brennan, Bren'
'Yeah!'
'Do you love her?'
'Yes!' he said without hearing the question .
Hearing that Shalimar opened her door slowly walked past Brennan and entered his room. There stood Cordelia, Shalimar walked up to her and punched her hard in the face. 'Hurt him and die' she said.
Cordelia rubbed her jaw before running at Shalimar. The two women engaged in a fierce battle. Brennan ran into the door along with Jesse and pulled the two battling women apart. Brennan held Shalimar in his grasp as she tried to wriggle out of his control.
'Calm down'. He tried to reason with her.
Shalimar tried her best to release herself from Brennan's grip. 'Let go Brennan, that bitch is going to die'.
'Shalimar calm down' He realised that she wasn't listening to him so he grabbed her and lifted her on his shoulder. I'm taking to her room to try and calm her down he said. Jesse nodded as he held Cordelia steady.
Brennan sat Shalimar on her bed. She was fuming with him.
'Why did you do that I had her' her eyes were feral
'Not only have you just come out of a major operation but you could have killed her Shalimar' 'Not killed her, knocked her about a bit'
'Shal'
'Sorry, but she started it, she had no right to come at me like that'
'You punched her'
'For you' she whispered. Not realising that he had heard.
'I know, but there was no need to fight her' he knelt down in front of her.
'Look Shal...' he hesitated.
'What Brennan? Spit it out already'
'Alright, this isn't easy, guys and emotions aren't a good mix'
'Well Jesse's seems able to share his feelings fine'
'Well Jesse's a mama's boy... no seriously, I care about you a lot Shal'
'I know' she interrupted
'Will you please let me finish' he flashed her his cheeky grin 'Ok!'
'We've been through a lot together, you've been there for me every step of the way and I appreciate that a lot. What I'm trying to say is that I... I ... I love you a lot and not like a sister or a friend but as more a lot more'
Shalimar looked at him stunned.
'Shal' She continued to just stare at him.
'Shal' 'But you said that you loved Cordelia just two minutes ago'
'I know, but that wasn't what I was meant to say. She's a wonderful woman, but she's not you. She's not the one I can see a future with you are'
'Are you sure? What am I saying of course you sure.' She grabbed his head and leaned in to kiss him.
45minutes later. The couple emerged from Shalimar's room.'Jess man, where's Cordelia?'
'Oh! You remember her did you, well after 15minutes of waiting around I figure she got the hint and left'
'Oh!'
'Hey Jess, any luck on the cure for Lexa yet?'
'I know I'm close, it's just going to take so more time'
'Time is something I'm not sure I have' Lexa entered the room shaking. Jesse raced to her. Sit down he said.
'I'll get you a glass of water' Shalimar offered.
As she got up to leave, Proxy Blue appeared on the screen.
'Their have been several reports of mutant activities, seems like their going around attacking innocent bystander's'
'What the hell's going...' before Jesse could finish his sentence Adam appeared in the room. 'Adam' Shalimar said
'Eckhart is responsible' he began 'His organised a group of mutant's who are attacking innocent people until you give up, his already attacking the Angel Investigations team. You need to stop this now people are dying'
