Hey hey, It was late when I did my responses and I was lazy and tired lol and I was so torn up about losing my '2004' (sobs dramatically) but I hope these will make up for it!

Princess Pinky – LOL! I thought you'd like it! Jesse and Lexa are great together! I don't think Emma was right for him! Can you imagine Lexa walking about with a big smile plastered on her face constantly? LMAO!

Pyrena – I'm glad you liked it! I did the ultrasound part to show that Connor's going to be a mischievous little witch!

PiPeRAnGeL39 – Hey! Long time no see! Are you here to stay? I sent you the pictures. Did you get them?

Wyatt333 – You're going to like this chapter, I enjoyed writing it! I got the inspiration from one of my favourite Mutant X episodes 'No Man Left Behind' and you never know what Ashlocke is planning, but you can be as sure as hell that Brennan won't give up Phoebe without a fight!

PS: Borneo demons are the ones that attacked Paige at the start of season 5, when she orbs into Piper's bedroom in 'A Witch's Tail'

ANNOUNCEMENT: If any of you didn't get the pics, please tell me so I can send them again! My computer hates me!

ANNOUNCEMENT 2: Piper and Phoebe now have six powers, so I was thinking; if you have any power advancement ideas for Paige, Pamela, Aidan or any other character, please let me know!

Crash Course

The Helix made a whirring sound as it circled the misty area of sea for a third time. All four of them had been sent out to try and find a plane that just mysteriously disappeared; apparently it had been carrying a powerful government weapon, which, if it were in the wrong hands, would be the thing that started a war.

Phoebe had come along, they needed her sensitive ability for picking up thoughts and emotions if they were going to try and find the plane, if the pilot was still alive, she would find him.

'You guys, I think that fog down there is magical, I'm getting a weird feeling about it,' Phoebe looked out the window, getting a feeling of foreboding about this place.

'Okay, drop a little lower then come back,' Adam's voice came from the intercom system, he was back at Sanctuary.

Phoebe looked between Lexa and Jesse, who had been avoiding each other ever since they had kissed. It was starting to annoy the pregnant psionic, as she was feeling the tension between them, but also the love. Her thoughts were interrupted by the Hellix beginning to shake violently; she immediately grabbed the armrests in shock.

'Jess! What's going on?' Brennan shouted over the alarms.

'Uh… I don't know,' Jesse began hitting buttons on the controls, 'Something's just shut everything down! It's taken out the system!' he was right! All the controls had shut down; it was as if the Helix was gliding towards the fog.

'Adam!' Lexa shouted into her comring, but she got no answer.

Phoebe pulled one of the screens towards her, 'one thousand feet! Whatever is in the fog, we're about to find out!' she said, scared to death.

'Alright, buckle up you guys,' Brennan quickly pulled the belt over his chest, the others followed suit, Phoebe however, was having trouble due to her enlarged stomach.

'Dammit! Why didn't Adam design this thing with pregnant people in mind!' she thought aloud. Looking out the front window, she saw that it was too late to use her hidden powers to help the Helix; all she could do was hold the belt in place and hope for the best.


'Phoebe, c'mon baby, wake up,' Brennan's voice reached her ears, but was slightly tuned out by the ringing. Phoebe opened her eyes and saw that her head was bleeding; Lexa and Jesse were using fire extinguishers to get rid of the flames caused by the crash.

'Ugh… What happened?'

'Well, we had quite a smooth crash landing, and the rest you can around you,' he took a wet piece of cloth to the wound, she winced at the sensation.

Lexa walked over the knelt down beside her, 'Bren, you go with Jess and check out the place, I'll stay here and try of salvage this hunka junk,' Brennan looked at her hesitantly for a minute, before standing and walking down the ramp to meet Jesse and explore.


Lexa decided to just blast off the panel on the control board, once it had flew off, she had a look at the wires before attempting to touch them, but they sparked on contact and Lexa cursed loudly. She threw down the flashlight in defeat, her technical skills only went so far and they were hardly enough to repair something as complicated as the Helix.

She walked out of the grounded jet and looked around their surroundings, Lexa could hear birds chirping, grasshoppers chirping, it would have been perfect if the air weren't so humid. They had crashed in a valley, Lexa could only see green wherever her eyes went, the entire place was covered in trees! She wouldn't be surprised if the guys had got lost. She mopped her brow and saw Phoebe sitting on a rock next to a river; she thought it would be perfect for her to splash her face with cold water, as the heat of this place was so clammy.

'Hey, I can't do much with the Helix, so…' she stopped when she saw Phoebe crying freely, 'Pheebs? What's wrong?'

Phoebe looked at her with tear-stained eyes and whimpered, 'Lexa…' she scrunched up her eyes and began to weep again. Lexa moved closer,

'What's wrong?'

Phoebe opened her eyes and put her hands on her stomach, Lexa didn't understand at first, but as the horrible reality of the situation dawned on her, her eyes began to fill up,

'Oh my God…'


'Jess, we've already passed that plant already!'

'How can you tell? They all look the same!'

Brennan and Jesse had been arguing for the past hour about how to get back to the Helix, they had wandered around aimlessly since they had left base camp and had been bombarded with swinging branches, mosquito's, stinging plants, anything that nature could throw at them, it did.

The good thing was that even though they were stranded, their powers seemed to be stronger here, but for some reason, they couldn't contact Adam or call for Andy.

'Alright, we need to stop and get our bearings, we can't just wonder around,' Jesse stopped walking.

'Well, what do you suggest? I make a forest fire and attract attention?' electricity sparked in his hands as he joked.

Jesse was about answer when he noticed something over Brennan's shoulder, 'No…' he walked past the elemental, 'I say we follow that light,' he pointed to something, Brennan turned around to see that a small but powerful light was coming towards them. Fast.

'What is it?'

Jesse laughed, 'It's Lexa,' the small light began to dance around their heads, 'C'mon, let's go!' the light began to move the way it come from, with Brennan and Jesse close behind.

After another hour of walking, the forest began to thin out as they saw wisps of smoke in the air, probably from the Helix. They surveyed the scene around them, Lexa and Phoebe were holding on to each other my dear life, Phoebe was sobbing uncontrollably and Lexa let the odd tear fall from her eyes now and again. She was the first to notice the guys; she stood up the quickly snuffed the light that began to dance around her once it had returned to its original spot.

'I didn't know you could do that,' Jesse said

Lexa sniffed, 'I can't… Phoebe told me a spell… You guys, something terrible has happened,'

'What is it?' Brennan asked, now wanting to know why his fiancé was crying, Jesse put a hand on Lexa's arm to comfort her,

'The crash… it did more…' she sighed, 'More damage than we thought…'

'What is that supposed to mean?' Brennan urged

Lexa looked up with glassy eyes, 'Phoebe had a miscarriage Brennan… She lost the baby,'


Brennan and Phoebe stood in each other's arms, Phoebe sobbing even harder while Brennan let an occasional tear fall silently. Jesse and Lexa just watched the grieving parents; their hearts were also filled with devastation.

'Ugh… Man, I can't even imagine what they're going through,' Jesse looked down at the ground.

'I can't believe this, I thought miscarriages only happen in the first five months?' Lexa asked desperately, both sat in silence and watched the two witches console each other. Phoebe stopped crying and moved away from Brennan, she had a distant look on her face.

'What is it?' Brennan asked.

'Life… Lots of it… Coming,'

'When?'

'…Now,'

As soon as the words had left her mouth, the trees began rustling and around ten people came out of the foliage. They were all men and were wearing some sort of tribal masks.

'Borneo demons…' Brennan whispered, he knew just as much about demons as Phoebe did.

Lexa and Jesse began to fire thermal blasts and lasers at the word 'demon' but all of them smoked out of the way and two reappeared behind each witch, holding their arms back. The other two, probably the leaders, smoked back in and said something in an unknown language, the others nodded and the leaders smoked out. As the others began to smoke out with Mutant X, Lexa flashed out of their grasp just in time and wasn't kidnapped, her friends however, were not so lucky.


Phoebe awoke with a start, from what she could tell, she was in a cave, as the only source of light was a fire and the rest of the place was dim. She sat up, not knowing what to expect. Suddenly, a wind blew out the torch on the wall and it was pitch black. Phoebe made a psionic blast materialize in front of her, in an attempt to illuminate her surroundings, and looked around, this looked familiar some how. There were patterned clothes hung up on the wall, with some wood in the middle and there was a pot of steaming water over them. She noticed something glinting from the corner of her eye and turned around, gasping when she saw a coyote.

'It's you…'

The coyote's eyes glinted again before turning into a man. The same man that she had met a year ago! The one that had stolen her car engine and guided her towards Mutant X! He hadn't changed at all, his hair was still in dreadlocks, his eyes still sparkled with youth, and he was still heavily clothed.

'We meet again…' he said, walking past her and to sit beside the wood, he made a gesture at it and flames danced, licking the bottom of the pot with flames.

'Where are my friends?' she asked, remembering that the others had been taken as well.

The old man merely laughed, 'You were right to mistrust my people, but the ones who attacked you aren't demons, and extinguish that mental energy floating in front of you, it's distracting,'

Phoebe looked up, seeing that her psi-blast was still active, she shut it down with her mind and turned her attention back to the man, 'You're friends are fine, although I'm surprised you thought of them, since your grief over your loss is clouding your judgement,' he stirred the water with a wooden stick.

'Look, don't lay that 'wise one' crap on me again!' she shouted, 'I have just lost my son, the son I saw in my future, so of course my judgement's clouded! I don't even know if I'm going to see my little girl Faith any more!'

'Every road must,'

'No!' she created a glowing light in front of her head, 'Either you're going to answer all my questions, or I'll make you, either way I'm leaving with more knowledge than I came with,'

The old man looked genuinely surprised by her anger, but he remained calm and went back to stirring the water.

'What do you want to know?'

Phoebe was surprised that he gave in so quickly, 'What are you?'

He sighed, 'A shaman, we guide those who are lost with our abilities of foresight and contacting the dead,'

'What is this place?'

'A cave on the island, this is where I gave you your vision a year ago, you didn't know it,'

'What happened to the plane that crashed around here?'

'Fell into the ocean, I needed you to be here so,'

'You killed the pilot!'

'His fate is regrettable, but I,'

'And you lured us here? So that means that you're responsible for the crash AND for my miscarriage!' a black globe of mental energy appeared in front of her, 'Give one reason why I shouldn't fire this and turn your mind into a pile of ash!'

'Because I'm the only one who can help you get your son and the pilot back,' he said simply.

She lowered her attack, 'How? They're… dead,' she bowed her head

'But their spirits haven't moved on, you can save them!' he urged, 'Just take my hands! We don't have much time! Even less now since you wasted our time with your questions!' he hissed.

Phoebe didn't need to be told twice, even if he was lying, she couldn't give up a possible chance of saving her son.


Jesse groaned as he came to, he could feel the dull heat of the stone floor underneath him, he slowly opened his eyes to see that he was in some sort of jail cell, the demons that had captured them were on the other side of the bars, talking in an unknown language.

He sat up silently, trying not to attract attention, he but his back on the wall and noticed that Brennan was lying on the other side of the room. Instead of shouting to him, Jesse decided to throw a loose stone, it would attract less attention.

Brennan's eyes strained open, he was about to say something when Jesse widened his eyes, signalling for him to stay quiet.

'What are we going to do?' Brennan mouthed to his friend

Jesse was about to mouth back, when screams of pain could be heard in the other room. The door flew off its hinges, revealing Lexa, hands out, lasers at the ready. The two Borneo demons ran at her, but were instantly vanquished by two beams of searing light.

'I hope you guys are grateful, do you know how hard it was to find this place?' She ran over the cell, but was blasted back by a shield.

'I think that would make it too easy Lex,' Jesse commented.

She got back up and blew a strand of hair from her face; 'Okay, stand back,' the two did so, as they knew what was coming. She released two blinding shots at the cell, the bars melting instantly and the shield decimated, 'Where's Phoebe?' she asked

'What? She isn't with you?' Brennan said with a raised voice

'Uh… No!' she replied sarcastically, 'Remember? The demons?' she pointed to the piles of ash with a patronising look on her face.

'Well where the hell is she?' Brennan shouted back

'Hey!' Jesse came between the two, 'Let's just try and find her!' he turned to Lexa, 'Alright, how did you find us?'

'I don't know, I wanted to find you and bam! I knew where you were!'

'Maybe your flashing power is advancing, you can sense people,'

'Anything's possible. Wow… my powers sure have advanced a lot lately, 'she looked into space.

'Okay, can you find her now?' Brennan asked

Lexa closed her eyes in concentration, 'I know where she is,'

'Alright! Flash us to her!'

'Wait! I ran here! I've never flashed over that type of distance before!'

'Well, it's time to get some practice in!'

Lexa hesitated for a minute, and then answered, 'Alright,' she linked arms with Brennan, but she took Jesse's hand, which surprised him. He looked at her, she just gave him a smile and he squeezed her hand gently as they flashed out.


Phoebe sat in a trance like state; she was currently in the realm between life and death. The shaman smirked as an athame glowed into his hand, he got up and walked across to her, ready to plunge the dagger into her heart, when the cave filled with light and Mutant X appeared.

'Damn…' he shimmered out before Brennan, Jesse or Lexa could fire their respective attacks.

They knelt down next to Phoebe, trying to wake her up, but the last thing she wanted to do was to wake up.


'C'mon baby! It's Mommy! Where are you?' she called into the darkness, desperately looking for her child's spirit. In the darkness, a small light began to flash in the distance, Phoebe began running towards it, and was surprised when she saw a man, dressed in military clothes, holding a baby.

'He yours?' the man asked

'Yes, are you a pilot?' Phoebe asked

'Yeah, I was about to move on, when this little guy appeared, I don't know why, but I knew someone would come for him,'

The pilot handed over Connor to Phoebe, then made a gesture with his hand, a large light appeared, it was a vortex, 'You should be able to get back through that,' he pointed.

'What about you?'

'Me?' he laughed, 'I think it's time for me to go,'

'Thank you…' Phoebe whispered

The pilot smiled and left in a glow of light. Phoebe turned back to the portal and walked through it, returning both her son and herself to life.


Phoebe lay in bed with the light on; she was telepathically channelling a storybook to the baby, who had kicked nine times since the team had returned from the island. After Phoebe had returned from the 'in between' realm, Lexa had flashed them back to the Helix and she and Jesse had finished the repairs, Phoebe had known that they had did a lot more than just repair the Helix, but she didn't bring it up.

Brennan clambered into the bed and moved closer to Phoebe, putting his arm around her shoulders and pulling her into a tight grasp.

'How's the baby?'

'Alive and kicking,' she groaned and touched her stomach, the baby had just kicked, 'Believe me,'

Brennan laughed and looked down at the story book, it was called 'A Collection Of Fairy Tales', 'That was pretty scary today, huh?'

Phoebe looked at him; 'I never want anything like that to happen again, which is why I'm finally going to accept my role as a backseat Mutant X member,'

Brennan raised his eyebrows, 'Really?'

'Yeah… We lost our son today Brennan, we may have got him back, but he was dead… both he and I will be safer here,'

'What do you think the deal with the shaman was?'

'I don't know... But that's tommorow's problem,' she said, stealing one of her big sister's sayings

He pulled her even closer and kissed her head, 'I'm not going to let anything happen to you, okay?'

She smiled, 'I know,' she turned back to the book

'Hey, how about opening up a three way connection? I'd like to hear you read to our boy! And I'm also a little curious about what goes through a baby's mind!'

She grinned; 'Sure,' she opened up her telepathy to another link and began reading.
