Brennan looked at shalimar one last time "anything happen and I mean anything I want u to call me Adam"
Adam nodded as Brennan left, Adam then turned his attention onto shal
Jesse looked around "what the hell do these people want"
"I have no idea but they must know us...somehow," Lexa answered, looking more at her surrounding. IT was dark in some places in others it wasn't.
Jesse rubbed his neck " are u sure I don't feel a governor
"Maybe in other ways besides powers," Lexa suggested. She touched the bars with a finger and got shocked. "Damn it that hurt."
Jesse took her hand and looked at her finger and kissed it "yeah"
Jesse "they will pay for this"
Lexa made a small smile as he kissed her fingers. "They will and I'll have my little fun. Hopefully we can get out of here soon."
Jesse looked around at what he could see, he started to get up and walked to the wall he looked at lexa and smiled then attempted to see if he could phase
The wall made a rippling sound and didn't allow Jesse to phase only stopped him.
Jesse fell back and hit the ground
Lexa helped him up. "You okay?"
Jesse "oh yeah me im great
Lexa fired it with a laser and it just got absorbed. "Well this is just great they do know about our powers we aren't going anywhere." She was not happy...pissed would be an understatement at this point
jesse shook his head " we will never get out of here and help shalimar" he was concerned "she's gonna leave us lexa.... we didn't even say good bye
she's like a baby sister to me
Lexa turned around to look at him. "Jess don't you dare start that. We will get out of here and we'll save her!"
Jesse looked at lexa "you're…your right lex but she's in so much pain and these bastards…..
Lexa put a finger to his lips to hush him. "Brennan's taking care of her and she'll be fine. We'll find that antidote."
jesse said nothing
Lexa mentally kicked herself and looked down at her hand but her heart sank. Their comm rings were gone. "Damn it even the rings. Whoever did this is too good."
jesse " yeah and they so will pay with their lives every single one of them
"That I like the sound of," Lexa said quietly.
jesse heard something "I think someone's comming"
"Great jut what we don't need," Lexa growled.
Three men came in
take her into another room one of them ordered
"Oh like hell I am," Lexa growled
they grabbed her but jesse started to fight them and they dropped lexa on the ground and hit jesse with tazers
jesse yelled in pain
Lexa hit one with a laser. She was kicked in the ribs for it. Coughing Lexa didn't move.
come willing or he dies
jesse looked at lexa "don't listen to them
Lexa glared at them and nodded. "I'm not taking any chances Jess. I can't loose two people I care about."
they stopped and forced lexa out of the room
jesse "lexa!!
"I'll be fine Jess don't worry!!" Lexa yelled back
they put her in a room and tossed her into a chair
head guy u answer these questions and well u can be set free"
"Im not holding my breath on that one," Lexa said sarcastically
he smirked "and if u don't answer truthfully well say goodbye to your boyfriend
"Then I'd have no reason to answer if you even think about it. Why the hell did you want us anyways??"
u mean u don't care what happens to him? and we ask the questions here miss pierce
Lexa was taken aback. How did they know her name?? "Who are you?? How do you know my name??"
we know all about u and your activities
from your brother to the gsa and the dominion
he laughed " u sure about that?"
he tossed papers at him documented info
"Those are fake my brother rather die than give up info on me!" She snarled and struggled against the people to get a hold of the head honcho. She wanted to strangle him until his eyes popped out.
not if he had gotten what he wanted for this info
this world is full of people like your brother
"What is that supposed to mean," the molecular growled dangerously
he came to us he needed money so we made a trade
well he also gave us something else
he looked lexa in the eyes "did u know your brother had a daughter"
Lexa paled. "What did he trade?? Just info for money??" Her heart raced as all this hit her.
no his daughter's life as well seems he couldn't afford to keep her
so for what he was asking he offered us his child and info on u
"Just so he could get money??" Lexa almost squeaked. Lexa's heart sank and felt the sting of betrayal. "I don't believe you...if that is so where is she?"
the guy grabbed the remote and turned on a TV it was linked to a bedroom with a small girl inside playing with what few toys that were in there
"That's a trick. That's just some child you took," Lexa snapped.
he laughed im afraid not she looks like u and well she seems to for some reason share your powers
he pushed a button "bring the child in here"
a man went into the Childs room and grabbed her making her scream
they left the room and he came in with the child and out her on the ground
"Don't hurt her!!" Lexa snapped. She struggled harder to get to the child.
he held up his hand "I wont hurt her" he looked at the little girl "come here"
she looked up from the ground and walked to the man and looked curiously at lexa
"How do I know she's isn't yours??" Lexa snarled.
he looked at her "I hate children and believe me this brat isn't mine"
I don't breed mutants" he put his hand on the girls face "she's a freak she should be thanking me for keeping her"
she cried out
"Leave her alone!!
Lexa stepped on her captor's instep then elbowed him in the stomach. She went to the child and snatched her away.
he coughed "u will pay for that"
Lexa held up a laser. "I don't think so. Now tell me something. What do you know about Veleno Dolce??"
the little girl held onto lexa
I don't know what u are talking about he lied
Lexa fired a laser close to his foot. "I figure you know about the poison. Since you seem to know so much about me you must know who I work with."
he started to move from the spot he fell "who cares what I know u wont safe her anyway it's too late"
"Not if you talk fast!"
he laughed "u can kill me lexa but u won't get what u are looking for
She ran the laser very close to his face so he could feel the heat. "Tell me what I want or I can do a lot more damage than this."
he looked at her "why lexa I can't believe u are being this violent in front of a child
"I'll do what I need to save my friend. It's not like you weren't violent in front of her. Now tell me what the antidote to Veleno Dolce is." She shot a laser at one of the guards, taking him down. She put it even closer to him, making a burn mark
he growled "it's a very rare flower only found in south America, good luck
"Thank you and I'll betaking the kid with me." She kicked him in the ribs then gave a low powered laser to his leg that went straight through. "Good luck with the leg jerk!"
the guy screamed
he then called for more guards
I want them dead all three of them!!
Lexa hid herself in the light she reflected around her.
"That is if u can see me!"
use your inferred goggles to locate her, now move!! he ordered
Lexa hurried back the way she had come and found Jesse sitting on the floor. "Such a bump on the log aren't we??" She teased and opened the door from keys she had stolen
jesse jumped up "lex, your ok?!
he ran to her then seen the dark headed kid and looked at lexa "u are full of surprises today
"Of course Im fine," she smiled. "Im full of surprises what??"
who's the kid?
the little girl looked at jesse "u not polite"
"He said she's my brothers which is very confusing and Im just a little overwhelmed with everything. So in other words run now talk later." Lexa laughed at the child. "It's okay he didn't mean to sound rude."
jesse "ok lets go" he walked out of the room and followed lexa
Lexa hurried, listening for footstep. She caught about four of them. "Four of them you take out two I'll get the other two."
She fired a deadly laser of light at each one
jesse massed and hit one of the guards
the other one tried to go for lexa and he grabbed him and threw him against the wall
"Thanks. By the way I got the cure or what we need for it anyways," Lexa answered.
jesse "want me to take the kid
"Yeah there's something else I want to take care of," Lexa said. She went to find a computer. She was going to upload a nice little virus to wipe out all their data on her brother and anything else.
jesse took the little girl " uh hey im jesse what's your name" he said unsure how to address the situation. "oh u aren't a talkative one are u he asked when she didn't answer
she gave him a look "u are strange
Lexa laughed and headed off. "You two be nice when Im done we are out of here."
Lexa found a room and began to quickly type in a virus she had created. It would wipe all data from the computer. "Okay let's go!!" She ran out. She led them down corridor after corridor
jesse walked carefully holding the kid to his chest
jesse "so where to dear?
brennan pulled up to the coordinates adam sent him to and got out of the car
he looked around but saw nothing
"Down the stairs to hijack a lovely car," Lexa answered with happy sarcasm
jesse laughed as he ran down the stairs
brennan sighed as he tried the doors
adam had been watching shalimar closely for hours until she seen sudden movements "oh damn" he said as he ran over and tried to hold her down. she was having a seizure
jesse opened the door and suddenly stopped in his tracks
jesse "brennan!!
brennan "jesse what I thought u were in trouble?
brennan seen the kid "gee jesse I hope u took her mother out to dinner and a movie first before u guys well u know
jesse "funny brennan she isn't mine
"That's my niece as far as I know," Lexa answered.
brennan "yeah cute kid"
jesse hate to cut this short but can we continue this at home?
brennan nodded and got back onto the car and started it up
jesse climbed in
jesse "come on honey" he called to lexa
"Comin' love," Lexa said yelled back and hopped in.
brennan drove off "is there something going on with u 2?
"Huh??" Lexa asked, acting like she was lost.
jesse "what brennan I didn't hear u? he smiled
brennan "yeah right"
she sat up in the seat and watched the way they came from the window
jesse "hey kid u should sit down
brennan "doesn't she have a name?
"I didn't catch it and its okay Jess just watch her," Lexa said gently
brennan "hey kid what's your name?"
the little girl turned around at brennan "I can't tell u"
"Why not sweetie??"
she looked at lexa "my daddy told me never tell anyone
"Not even you're Aunt??"
he didn't say that she then said
"Then you can tell me," Lexa encouraged her.
she looked at lexa for a moment "im Alexis
"Alexis, Im Lexa, this is Jesse and that's Brennan."
jesse " that's a nice name u have"
Alexis "my daddy liked it to so he named me it"
"It's a very pretty name," Lexa said. She leaned against Jesse.
jesse kissed lexa and looked at Alexis "so what are we gonna do with her?
"I dunno," Lexa answered, kissing him back. "Keep her with us for now. First, we have to take care of Shal. Bren I got what we needed just need to find it."
brennan looked at lexa "what is it?
jesse nodded " hey bren who is with shal by the way ?
: brennan said nothing at first and he sighed "adam has her
"He said a rare flower from south America."
brennan "how the hell do we find that"
: run it through the database
u shouldn't swear Alexis said to brennan
brennan was about to say something
jesse coughed" she's just a kid
brennan pulled into the garage "just what we need another lexa"
: jesse "good the more the merrier
brennan just walked off to the lab
jesse climbed out
Lexa laughed. She got up and picked up Alexis then put her down. She headed to the computer to find what the man was talking about.
Alexis walked around she never seen a big place like this
jesse "don't go far" he then walked to lexa
"why the hell didn't u call me adam!!!!" he yelled his voice could be heard everywhere
brennan calm down there was no time
"He said a rare flower in south America. Now all we need to do is find what rare flowers there are in south America," Lexa said typing in some words.
jesse "u keep searching ill go find out what happened and come back" he walked off
jesse came back a few minutes later "find anything?
"Yeah I did there is a flower called the Red Lily. It grows in South Africa in the forests the problem is WHERE in the forests."
Jesse" red lily never heard of it"
"Me neither"
jesse then looked at lexa "shal is worse"
"Damn we need to find this flower and fast. Get Brennan we'll keep looking while we go there."
jesse "ok I know he'll come this time" he walked off to get brennan
brennan came out "let's go"
"Alexis!!" Lexa called. She needed to talk to the child first before she left.
Alexis "yes" she walked to lexa
"I need you to stay here and don't touch anything unless it's the fridge okay. Ask Adam who is in the lab for help if you need anything. My room is the second one from here. Now behave please." Lexa ruffled her hair a little
Alexis "I will" she smiled
jesse "good" he walked off to the helix with brennan
: "Good girl. I'll be back as soon as I can." Lexa ran off after Brennan and Jesse to the Helix. She went to her place on the left and logged into the Sanctuary database to look up more on the flower.
jesse took them out and headed off to south Africa
jesse and brennan took turns flying what seemed for days but it was just hours almost 24
jesse yawned "we should be there soon
"Good Im crampin up sitting here," Lexa stretched.
brennan said nothing
jesse "brennan how u holding up?
brennan looked at jesse but didn't answer and went back to the controls
"Brennan the silent thing is quite...annoying you can say something," Lexa sighed rolling her eyes
"what's there to say" he said sadly
"she will be fine bren"
brennan looked at jesse " u didn't see shal like I seen her jesse she is in so much pain and nothing is helping her not one damn thing"
"That's why we're going to Africa to get this plant to fix her so she'll be fine. The man can't harass any of us anymore I wiped his computers clean," Lexa said the last part sourly.
he sighed "I feel like im losing her before I told her how I feel about her"
jesse "how do u feel?
brennan took his time "I love her jesse I would die for her if I could, she's my life
"Tell her that when she's better," Lexa replied to Brennan
brennan was tearing up but tried not to let them see he was "yeah so lets fine this flower"
"Okay this plant is in the Amazon and sightings have it in Ecuador," Lexa said. "Some in Peru but better luck in Ecuador."
jesse "we should be there in about an hour"
"Good, right now wouldn't mind a nature walk. Except those, damn bugs. Tell me we have bug repellant," Lexa said in a mild whining voice
jesse smiled "yes it's in the back
"Excellent." She got up and pulled it out of a case. She'd put it on before they headed out.
: Lexa made a nice little joke and sprayed him, avoiding the eyes. "Wait never mind I don't think I need to spray you since the bugs will avoid you anyhow. You must taste bad or something." She teased with a little grin
Jesse grabbed her up in his arms and bit her neck playfully "they love u"
brennan rolled his eyes and walked out
Lexa laughed and wrapped her arms and legs around him.
jesse carried her out "lexa I can't search with u like this"
"Aww but its so much fun. You look in front and I'll look behind you where you were walkin'." Now that she thought, about it that sounded very wrong but it was still funny
Jesse laughed and kissed her "im sorry but shal needs this flower" he tapped her in the butt
"I know," she kissed him back then let go. "Well from the picture its read and white. It grows on vines attached to trees. Be careful it's big and may have snakes or nice big spiders in them."
Jesse looked at lexa "u just had to say spiders didn't u? I hate spiders
"I'm not fond of them either but if you ever want fried arachnid let me know."
Lexa looked around, spotting birds of brilliant colors, a monkey or two swimming or making noise. Plants rustled as other animals scurried away. "Like a walk in the park huh??" She said sarcastically as more of a rhetorical question
jesse "yeah except with big huge bugs"
"Hey you got sprayed so they shouldn't bug ya," Lexa giggled. "Except that one right there." She hit him in the shoulder and shook of a mosquito.
Jesse "oh gross these things are 3 times bigger here then at home I think he was even smiling"
"Eww lovely image." Lexa gave a grossed out look. "Hey is that it??" She pointed to a tall tree to her left.
jesse walked closer "looks like it
he was hot and sweaty and so was brennan
"So Sparky you want to get it down or I can so we can go and get back in the AC??" Lexa asked. They had not been out there for 30 minutes and they were sweating like crazy
brennan "stay back"
: he pointed and showed them a few snakes "we don't want to anger them"
"Pythons, and Anacondas probably," Lexa muttered.
brennan formed a bolt in his hand and shot at the snakes
jesse "anyone want fried snake?
brennan just walked passed the snakes he took off his shirt and prepared to climb
"I'd love to try it if I wasn't afraid it'd eat me
jesse "I would never let them eat u lexa"
"My knight in shining armor," she said with sarcasm and affection
: jesse blushed abit
brennan had the flower in his hand
but then dropped it when he got bit
Lexa yelped and hit the huge spider that was a tarantula, frying it.
jesse how bad did it bite u?
brennan it's just a flesh wound"
Lexa looked at the bite. "You're lucky those things are pretty much harmless. You'll live."
She looked in the flower for any more surprises and there was nothing
Jesse "well since we have what we came for I say we can go now
"Let's im roasting out here. Oh well got a nice tan though," Lexa laughed.
Brennan led the way back
Jesse looked at him then at lexa "hey lex was that just abit to easy? He said as they walked back to the helix
"Why do you ask??" "It maybe a rare plant but-" She was cut off
what? Jesse asked
"STOP!" Yelled someone
A man came out of the bushes followed by his "lackeys". He was dressed in formal wearing saying he was a ranger or cop.
"Great we got jinxed," Lexa muttered.
think u can I don't know go invisible jesse mumbled
"You are trespassing on protected land and you have taken an illegal plant."
"Yeah that I can do," Lexa said and reflected the light around them, making her and Jesse invisible. She ran after Brennan and cloaked him too.
they all ran hurriedly to the helix
Gunfire sounded in the distance. "Next time we make a less...dramatic entrance with a big huge plane. Never mind there isn't going to be a next time."
Brennan got to the pilots seat and flew them out fast
"Adam we got the plant is there anything we need to do with it besides bring it home like maybe smash it up fry it something??"
u have to extract its poison adam said tiredly
"Okay Jess your job not mine I have no clue how to do that," Lexa said not even bothering to try or think about it.
jesse ok"
"That little niece of mine behaving??"
adam "well she's a sweet kid
"Good, Adam would you mind running a DNA test I wanna make sure she's my brothers kid and not jut some random person. Im having a little trouble believing someone who tries to kill me."
adam "very well ill get to it"
"Thanks"
jesse looked the plant over "man this will be hard I have to get enough to do this procedure but if I screw up we don't have a second chance
"Not comforting."
don't mess it brennan said serious
jesse sighed and sat back
Hours later, they landed in the hanger bay
jesse walked out with the plant he went to one of the other labs to work on the antidote
Brennan went to clean up and checked on Shalimar
Lexa went to find Alexis and found her in the lab sitting on a bio-bed. She was so little on the bed her feet dangling off the sides as to where Lexa would be touching the ground.
Alexis seen lexa and smiled "hi
"Hey so what you up to??"
He told me to stay here she sighed
adam came in " good lexa you're here, " I need to take some blood from both of u
"Umm okay," Lexa said and hopped up next to Alexis.
adam went to Alexis "hey there sweetie are u gonna be a big girl and let me take some blood?
adam "it won't hurt too much"
Alexis " I don't like them"
Feel better if I went first??" Lexa asked
Alexis looked at lexa and nodded
Lexa turned her arm over so her elbow was down and veins facing up. She looked away, not too fond of needles herself.
adam took some blood
"Great bruise tomorrow," Lexa muttered.
adam cleared his throat "now lexa don't scare her"
see now your turn
"What it's just gonna look gross it doesn't hurt," Lexa said truthfully
Alexis "I have a bruise
"Someone hit you?" Lexa frowned.
Alexis nodded
"Who??'
: the bad man
"Well he won't hurt you anymore," Lexa said and brushed a strand of hair away from her face behind her ear
promise? She said worriedly
"Promise," she smiled
Alexis then let adam take some blood she tried not to cry
adam " u are a very good girl Alexis u deserve some ice cream"
Lexa held the girl when Adam was done. "Come on let's get you something okay??"
adam " Alexis where is your bruise?
Alexis "my side"
"ADAM!! What's wrong??"
She didn't like the way he had that worried look.
adam looked at lexa "children don't bruise easily lexa"
"What is that supposed to mean??"
adam went to Alexis and lifted her shirt " her bruise should have been healed already she told me she was hit 2 weeks ago"
"Find out what's wrong and fix it please," Lexa said and picked up Alexis, carrying her out.
adam sighed and went to work
jesse took a while extracting the poison
jesse "I have the poison distracted but I have to heat it
adam looked over the results and hurried to find lexa
Lexa had given Alexis vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and sprinkles.
Alexis was eating the ice cream when adam came in
adam "lexa I have the results……………
