Hello everyone! Just an update of sorts. NepthysSnapes and I have been working on this story together as I said at the beginning of the first chapter….Well we've gone and opened a joint account and after this chapter when we post the next it will be moved under that name…balance of opposites. I have the first story we've posted under that name in my favorites so you can find it through that….along with a Van Helsing story we will be writing and SG1 story that has been under her name and the Lord Of The Rings story we've just begun working on. Until then hope you enjoy.

Serenity remained unconscious the entire trip back to the bureau. Once there, Red carried the unconscious woman to the infirmary, Abe and John following close behind.

"Did you sense any evil in her?" Myers watched Serenity's still form. Something about her intrigued him, though he wasn't sure what it was.

Abe looked at his friend before speaking, trying to figure out himself why Agent Myers was so interested in the woman. "No. Interested in learning about herself."

"What else did you learn?" Myers still did not take his eyes from the woman.

"Serenity Nesrin. High metabolism, abnormally. She's a chameleon and weather controller. Has a real gift for electricity."

"Would she be an asset to the group?"

"Stealth. She's also a gifted cat burglar. She can get in and out of just about anything." Abe looked back at the form on the table.

"Would she go for it?" Myers finally looked at Abe, who nodded.

"If we make it intriguing."

"Alright, when she's well, I'll talk to her. Now for Agent Winters, what can you tell me?" Myers changed the subject.

"Telepathy, Telekinesis. She's not fully developed her talent." Abe blinked at him.

"Still blocking you?" Myer grinned at Blue.

"Yes." Abe's expression, as usual, was unreadable.

"She lost control… Perhaps you could help with that." Myers watched Abe intently.

Again Abe nodded. "If she lets me."

"Alright, get back to your tank. I'll find her and send her your way." Myers sighed rubbing at his forehead.

Abe gave his friend another slight nod before turning to leave and heading to his tank.

Upon entering into the facility Kaelin had broken from the group, she need to be in a quiet place to regain the rest of her control. Not knowing where her quarters were she headed towards the room she thought of as the tank room. Once there she sat in an arm chair, after fishing out her disk man and an Elton John CD. When she was comfortable she started the music to help block out all the voices around her. The young agent's eyes were closed as Abe walked into the room. Not wishing to interrupt her yet, and needing to get into his tank, Blue silently walked up the stairs to the second floor and slipped into the water. Swimming to the window, Abe began to tickle at her mind.

I can hear you…read you. Are you always so curious? Kaelin didn't open her eyes as she spoke to Abe.

I actually would like to ask you to turn the pages please. He watched her intently from his place. The young woman complied with his request, never leaving her seat.

Thank you.

You're welcome…I can make dinner plates spin as well. Want to see? She sighed, taking off her headphones.

No. Abe watched as she stood and faced him.

Taking a deep breath and walking towards the tank, Kaelin lowered the mental walls that kept everyone out. I believe this is what you wanted.

Abe kept his gaze upon the young woman before him. I will not if you do not wish. I'm just naturally curious…I could return the favor.

I wouldn't have lowered them if I minded.

Very well. Abe entered her mind watching her grow form a toddler to an adult. Seeing the milestones of her first bike ride without training wheels, surrounded by her parents and friends. Saw the first time she drove a car. Her life with the carnival her parents worked for. What he sensed as very personal he did not probe deeper. Once Blue was finished with his journey through Kaelin's mind, the young agent gently touched his, not sure if she was proceeding correctly. Winters had never done anything like this on purpose before. Sensing her hesitation, Abe just as gently pulled the young woman into his mind. As Kaelin entered Sapien's mind, her eyes changed from there aqua color, loosing all tint. Seeing his most recent memories first, feeling his intrigue at the ability to block him when they first met. He's pain at the loss of Professor Broom. The attack by Sammael. Your scar… Winters' eyes remained colorless as she placed a hand on the tank window. Though Kaelin did not see, Abe nodded at her as the memories continued. The you woman was pulled father into the amphibian's mind, her breathing slowing to match his, her heart rate matching his as well, loosing herself in his mind. His memories becoming her own. Abe sensing what was happening, gently caught and pulled Kaelin out; her eyes slowly began to regain their color, her breathing and heart rate returning to normal as well.

What…what was that? Kaelin looked Abe in the eyes.

What in particular?

I didn't feel like myself anymore.

"You did not differentiate between who I am and who you are." Abe felt it best to revert to vocalized communication.

"I…I'm sorry." The young woman looked down ashamed.

"It is alright. You just need to learn to control your talents."

I stay in control most of the time. Kaelin reverted back to mind speak as was her habit when she found a conversation difficult.

"But does it take a lot from you?"

The blonde nodded I'm still not back to normal from earlier.

"It was an accident." His voice was kind, having a soothing effect on Kaelin.

"You should see it when I get angry…things have a tendency to explode."

"Will you let me help you?" He watched her closely

"Can you?" Hope showed in her eyes.

"I can." Abe nodded

"Then I am yours to mold." She gave the man before her a slight smile, which he returned.

"Eggs please."

Again Kaelin grabbed the eggs bare handed, having handled worse growing up in the carnival, and sent them Abe's way. "Don't suppose you could teach me how to swim while you're at it?"

Though her question was made in jest, Abe took her seriously. "I can try. You will have to face your fear."

Knowing he was serious Winters decided to take him up on his offer. "I will as long as you don't believe in sink or swim." Abe simply nodded.

While Kaelin and Abe discussed her abilities in the library, Serenity was coming around in the infirmary. Agent Myers had pulled a seat next to her bed and waited for her return to consciousness. A slight moan from the dark woman caught his attention as she began to wake, putting a hand to her head. "Where's the fucking semi that ran me down?"

Agent Myers couldn't help himself, chuckling as he spoke "Fraid it wasn't a semi…You hit the floor."

"Where am I?" Serenity looked around, taking in her surroundings.

"A government facility that polices the paranormal."

"Great." The young woman tried to sit up, groaning as her battered body protested the movement.

Agent Myers was on his feet, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Lay back, your ribs are pretty beat up."

"I'm fine." Serenity shrugged off his hand. She didn't like being coddled or told what to do.

"We have a proposition for you, when you feel up to it." Myers took his seat again but kept a steady eye on the woman in front of him.

"Well spit it out." She demanded in exasperation.

"We would like you to work for us."

Serenity raised an eyebrow. "Doing?"

"Fighting evil." Though the statement sounded a little over the top, Agent Myers features said he was dead serious.

"I'm evil?" Serenity looked down at herself, then back up at John.

"No." Myers shook his head. "But we had no idea what you were when we entered the museum."

Serenity nodded, understanding. "The book I was carrying?" She wasn't sure it held the information she wanted, needed, but anything it could have told her would have been a step closer to knowing herself better.

"I'm afraid it was destroyed. Why was it so important?"

"Don't know if it was." The woman gave a slight shrug.

Thinking that she was disinclined to accept his offer John tried another approach. "We know you're tying to figure out what you are…who you are, we could help."

"That so?" Serenity eyed Myers suspiciously, waiting for the catch. "In exchange for my services I take it."

John shook his head knowing it would take a lot to get her to trust him, them. "If you decided to work for us, we would see to your every need, along with helping you find out who and what you are."

Serenity, wanting out of the hospital bed she rested on, decided to stand and walk around mulling over agent Myer's offer. The moment the woman's feet hit the floor her injured knee gave out under her. "Fuck!" Serenity caught herself on the bed.

Agent Myer's grabbed for her at the same time, trying to help her back to her seat. "I told you, you need to rest."

Serenity glared at John a moment before speaking. "I NEED to get my hands on who did this. There was a club I was going to later. Now I can't." The red head slammed her hand down for emphasis. "Shit!" Serenity began to wiggle her injured arm with her good hand. "Broke. Great. Wonder why it hurt when I caught myself. This is just the luck. Broken arm, busted knee, busted ribs, pounding headache... I need a stiff drink and a smoke."

"No you need to relax. Until you are healed, you're our guest. You can use this time to start your research. I'll have someone show you the library tomorrow if you want." John gave her a slight smile.

"Now is fine." The look on her face said she was quite unhappy that he was trying to keep her in the infirmary longer than she deemed necessary. Agent Myers shook his head before he spoke. "They need to set your arm and check your knee. It will have to wait."

"Fuck." Serenity threw her head back, "Damn." She put her good hand to her head. "I really need a drink." She muttered under her breath.

John gave the woman before him a smile, it seemed to him the only reason she was upset about being injured was do to the fact she couldn't go partying like she planned. "Water do?"

The red head gave a disgusted snort. "Suppose until I can get my ass out of this bed and find something stronger."

"I'm sure they'll give you something for the pain once they've totally checked you over, the docs wanted you awake first."

"Doesn't change I want a drink," She was silent a moment before continuing. "And a smoke."

"Sorry," he looked apologetic "Don't have a cigarette on me, though Red might have a cigar he'd part with."

"Sounds great." The red head tried to get up again. John placed a hand on her shoulder to still her movements. "I'll get it, just stay here." Serenity nodded eyeing him a moment before asking. "Who's Red? Who are you?"

John looked at Serenity, surprised at himself for forgetting his manners. "Oh… Forgot. Name's John Myers." He extended his hand for a hand shake.

Serenity accepted it shaking his hand hardily. "Serenity Nesrin."

"I'll get that cigar." Myer gave her a goofy smile.

It took fifteen minutes for John to return, all of which were spent on his part arguing with Red over the cigar. Serenity had become impatient while waiting for him to return. "What took you so damn long? I'm dying here." She glared at the agent as he walked in through the door.

"You owe me big time." Myers stated at the same time handing over the prize.

"Whatever… Got a light?" she grabbed the cigar.

"Had to promise him a night out with Liz…No Nanny Squad. Someone's going to have my ass."

Tired of waiting for John to supply a 'light' Serenity lit the cigar herself, touching her finger to the end and giving it a zap of electricity. The air crackled around her for a few minutes afterwards while she inhaled deeply from her fix, letting out a contented sigh. "And again who is Red, Liz and the Nanny Squad?" She once again focused her intense gaze on the agent before her.

"I suppose…" John started, taking a seat in front of Serenity, "…That I and the other Agents are then Nanny Squad. Red is the big red guy in the museum and Liz was the woman with him." John purposely left Kaelin out.

"Ah." The dark woman nodded her head in understanding, but then paused something coming to her. "And the other one? Who's she?"

"Just a member of the Nanny Squad, no one of any importance she was just there to back Red up if need be."

"Alright. So who did this?" Serenity motioned to herself, determined to find the person responsible and pay them back.

"We aren't sure…" John trailed off he had never been a good liar; he could never look the person in the eyes when he was lying to them.

"Riiiight. Don't buy that." But she let it drop for the moment. "Now where are the docs to fix me so I can move around? I want off this damn bed and shown to the library."

In reply to her demands, Myers motioned for the nearby doctor to begin his work.

"Gee, they've been here all along? Whey didn't they do this earlier? Well hop to! I want out of here." She stated looking at the doctor, who wasn't getting his equipment ready fast enough.

The doctor didn't speak as he began his examination starting at her head injury. Serenity was quiet for only a few moments before starting to grumble. It was as they started to check her arm that the red head began to be more vocal. "Watch it! That hurts, it's broken you know!" She glared at the doctor.

"We are aware." The doctor replied dryly.

Fifteen minutes later and several outburst of "Hey, careful with those ribs, I have lungs in there. I prefer no holes added to them." and "Watch it with the knee! I want to walk again!" the doctor had enough of the woman on his table.

"Alright…" The doctor stated as he injected Serenity with a substance that soon had her out so they could finish patching her up in silence. Myers watched the whole thing knowing their guest would not be happy when she woke up.
