Thanks again for the reviews! Sorry so long on the update. Here we go.

As Lexa re-entered her control room, she was greeted by an urgent call waiting for her on the viewphone. She hesitated slightly, knowing who it was. She looked back in the direction of the dojo and tried to rehearse what she was going to say. Dominique would not be happy about this latest turn of events. She sat down, let out her breath, and answered the call.

"Lexa, what is this all about?" the shadowed figure inquired.

"Um, Dominique, sir, there has been a small development here that you need to know about," Lexa replied nervously.

"What kind of development, Lexa?" Dominique seemed agitated and Lexa squirmed in her chair.

"Both Mulwray and Kilmartin know about the Dominion. I currently have them locked up in the dojo. Kilmartin is fine but I don't think Mulwray will survive the day. I had to neutralize him when he got back to Sanctuary last night. He attacked me. Someone told him about us." Lexa sat there in silence after her update. Dominique said nothing. He just sat there. "Sir?" Lexa inquired.

"You said that Kilmartin remains healthy?" Dominique finally replied after letting out a large sigh.

"Y-yes," Lexa replied, "he is a bit bruised and worried about his friend. I tranquilized him in order to capture him but he has regained use of his body since then." Lexa was sitting a little straighter in her chair now. She was convinced that she had done the right thing by sparing Jesse. The Dominion liked him. They knew about the growing relationship between him and Emma and thought he could be useful to them as a bargaining tool. Mulwray just spelled trouble for them and they intended to kill him anyway.

"Lexa, I want you to separate Kilmartin from Mulwray. Where is Ms. Fox?"

"I don't know where she is. I have been trying to track her on her com link this past hour but she must have removed it for some reason."

"Do you think she knows?"

"No. Mulwray was looking for her. I eavesdropped on his conversation with Jesse a while ago and neither of them knows where she is. Sir, I can separate the two of them but what do you want me to do with Mulwray?"

"Allow him to extinguish, Lexa. The Dominion is not interested in him. He has already begun to destabilize and is a loose cannon. I don't trust him. Kilmartin we can reason with."

"You don't want me to test our weapon on him, sir?"

Dominique cast his head down in thought. "Lexa, I prefer you wait. Keep him in control and wait to capture Ms. Fox. We may be able to use the weapon in front of both Kilmartin and Fox to convince them to join our side. If they watch their friend destabilize because of his powers and expire in great distress, they may be convinced to join us in our quest to find a way to stabilize them all."

Lexa smiled and nodded her head. "Great idea, sir. I will keep you updated from here. In the meantime, do you want me to work on Jesse to try and convince him that we are working for his best interests?"

"Of course. I will contact you soon Lexa. Notify me when Fox shows up." Dominique's image disappeared from the screen. Lexa smiled and stood up. "Oh this will be fun."

Adam broke him embrace with Shalimar and held her away from him so he could look at her. He shook his head and told her she shouldn't be here.

"Adam, Emma filled me in on everything! You should have trusted in us, Adam. We could have taken Lexa out if she was bad." Shalimar turned to Emma. "She is bad, right?"

Adam escorted Shalimar back to the bed and had her sit back down with Emma. Adam moved the desk chair to face both of them and sat down. He leaned forward resting his hands in his lap, outstretched in Shalimar's direction. Shalimar reached out and placed her hand comfortingly on top of Adam's and smiled. Adam looked up at her and snickered. It really was so good to see her again. He then looked over at Emma who just smiled at him. He grinned at her in such a manner to say that she was in trouble for this. He then looked back at Shalimar and spoke. "How much has Emma told you, Shalimar?"

Shalimar glanced at Emma and looked back at Adam before she responded. "Well, not much, really. I just got here before you came, Adam. But I do know about the Dominion and their research funding. Adam, why didn't you tell us? We would have understood."

Adam was obviously ashamed. He looked at Shalimar and then back at Emma. He knew that Emma knew more than he told her. Her powers were so strong. Emma cast her eyes at the floor - full knowing that Adam had never told her about that.

"Well, I might as well tell you both everything that I know. It is going to take awhile, though. So let's say we all three go out and grab some breakfast and coffee while I fill you in?"

"That sounds great, Adam! I am starved." Shalimar responded. Emma looked at Adam and smiled. She rose and took his arm in hers and took Shalimar's in her other and escorted both of them to the door.

"Jesse?" Brennan whispered. "Jesse!" Brennan was nervous. Jesse failed to reappear on either side of the wall after phasing into it. He heard Lexa's footsteps approaching. He didn't know what to do. He struggled to his feet in attempt to fend off Lexa if he had to. "Jesse, if you can hear me, Lexa is coming." Brennan warned.

Brennan gained enough energy to hold a tesla coil in his hand as Lexa made her way up the stairs of the dojo.

"Cute, Brennan," Lexa stated when she observed his pathetic attempt at self- defense. "A few minutes ago you could barely move, now you want to fight?' she laughed at him. Then she looked around and it occurred to her that Jesse was missing. Alarmed, her voice filled with urgency. "Where is Jesse?"

Brennan smirked then. He wished he knew but was not about to lead on. "Wouldn't you like to know? He escaped, Lexa," Brennan replied.

"No way!" Again, Lexa prepared to fire a laser off. Brennan shielded himself away this time, remembering what she had done to Jesse. He looked back at her after she was done and prepared to throw the coil.

"Brennan, won't that bounce back and fry you?" Lexa mocked.

Brennan looked down at it and hoped that it would not. He secretly hoped it would somehow release Jesse from the wall. He looked back at Lexa. "Well, after what you have done to me, Lexa, that doesn't much matter now does it?" And with the last word, Brennan threw the coil. The entire dojo lit up with electricity. It crackled around the dome. A scream echoed through its walls and Lexa was catapulted down the steps. Brennan flew back, himself, from the force of the blast and landed with his head crashing against the floor. Jesse emerged from the wall, flew across the control room and crumpled against a far wall. All were left unconscious.
