Sanctuary a few days later…

Ben was getting use to hobbling around on his crutches but he was glad he wasn't going to need them after a few days. Right now he was about to knock on Kailey's door but she opened it when his hand was in mid air.

"Oh, Hi," Kailey said surprised. As she entered the hall and closed the door.

"Hi, I was wondering if you have a few minutes to talk." Ben asked.

"Yeah, that would great."

"About what happened in the well..."

"I know, you were in pain and we were both stressed, we can totally forget about what we said."

"No, I meant what I said."

"Really? That's great because so did I." Kailey sighed in relief. "I was afraid you were going to say it was a mistake and we have to go back to the way things were."

"What I wanted to discuss was continuing where we left off."

"What do mean?" Kailey asked confused but she soon figured it out when Ben leaned in and kissed her. She was surprised at first but soon found her leaning into him in returned.

Little did the two know that they were being watched by the other four members of Mutant X from another room.

"Awe, that's so cute!" Emma smiled.

"You owe me 20 bucks Jesse." Brennan said holding his hand out to Jesse who reluctantly slapped a 20 into it.

"You guys, I am appalled." Shalimar exclaimed.

"You're just made because we didn't ask you to join the bet." Brennan teased.

"Darn straight!" Shalimar laughed. The group left the two newcomers alone. Emma and Shal went to work out together and Jesse and Brennan went to play basket ball. As Brennan was leaving, he glanced back over shoulder at Kailey and Ben who were now smiling and talking and he hoped that someday he would have the courage Ben had to tell the woman he loved about his feelings.
