A/N: My sincerest apologies to anyone who already read this chapter, but I wasn't satisfied with this it, I was getting no where and getting frustrated fast. So after a little re-writing I managed to get two chapters out from here. So if you wouldn't mind just re read this and be kind enough to write a review.

Second: There will be explanations coming soon, I promise, I know I have a tendency to leave you all out there confused but I so promise that explanations are coming soon.

CHAPTER 10:

As the internal lenses of the shades darkened, the screen of information disappeared. Eddie mentally cursed himself for not sensing at least something from her. He could sure as hell feel the other one by her side. For a moment he foolishly tried to will them away, that maybe if he had enough strength they wouldn't be there, this whole thing would be a dream or nightmare depending on his point of view. Slowly turning around he blinked, nope still there. "Damn." So much for strong will.

"What you'd thought you'd just take off and leave her here with us? Was that the plan all along kid?" he was definitely pissed off about something. Eddie couldn't figure out what or why.

"Brennan." Shalimar hissed at him. "Where do you plan on going?" she asked approaching him slowly.

Eddie didn't dare move he knew what she could do, he knew the consequences of being on the wrong side of Shalimar Fox. A younger Shalimar was nothing to mess with if anything she was a lot more aggressive in her decisions. This was truly something Alec and Wyatt would love to here about.

"You know if you leave now the GSA will have you in less than five minutes." Shalimar said.

She was trying to scare him into staying? Eddie smiled inside. He had dealt with a lot worse than some people in suits trying to make him into a lab rat or messing with his DNA. This threat meant nothing to him. "GSA are the least of my problems." he said almost bitterly.

"Yeah like what? The girls family out to get you for what you did to her." It was out before Brennan could even stop himself from holding it in. "Brennan!" Shalimar turned and punched him in his injured arm.

"I would never hurt her!" Eddie yelled at the realization of what Brennan's words meant hit him. Is that what they thought of him? That… How could they… why would they… Oh god her scars… they thought he had done that to her?!

"He didn't mean that the way it came out." Shalimar said apologetically.

"Yeah, Whatever…"

"Brennan…" She took another hard hit at his arm, but this did nothing to keep Brennan's accusations down. Shalimar was ready to kill the elemental. "What?" Brennan turned to the irritated feral who's eyes had shifted golden yellow. "Come on Shal, the guy comes in asking for help and when we offer he flat out says no…"

"You're not helping here."

"You're afraid of me." Eddie said, his words came out in a painful whisper. He was fighting the nausea that was rising within him. Trying desperately to push the horrible memory back down into the void that he had placed it in long ago. He could feel the tremble in his hands and tried to stop them. The conversations turned to echoes as Eddie let the accusation sink into his mind. They thought that he had been the one to hurt Lexie? Why in the hell would they think he would do such a thing to a person whom had been closer to him then his own parents? Despite the age difference Lexie and Eddie had always been so freakin' close she might as well have been blood… Suddenly out of nowhere surfaced a horrible memory, one he couldn't control it pushed it's way up to the surface blinding him with pain. Pain from his heart as well as his soul…

*Flash*

'Screams from a five year old Lexie Mulwray, ear-piercing mind bleeding screams from the small child as the arms around her middle had accidentally massed solid, as well as the floor underneath the two children. A very terrified eight-year old blond boy covered in waves of blue, desperately trying to let go of the smaller child.

*Flash*

Despite the glare on his face Brennan now wanted to take the words back, even with the shades hiding his eyes it was obvious to him that the younger man was in pain and distress. It was written on his face, it seemed as if the words had took on a physical punch to the kids gut. It was too sincere of a stance to be phony. Something deep inside of Brennan felt a pang of hurt as well. He wondered what had been done to the younger man and the girl. If he wasn't the one who did the damage to her, than someone had sure as hell done enough damage on them.

"What?" Shalimar asked in confusion she had heard his words, and could smell something distinctly building up inside the molecular. Something in Brennan's words had triggered this state of being. She wanted to throw her arms around the blond young mans visibly shaking shoulders and take away what he was feeling. Shalimar restrained herself from this instinctual action.

It was all coming back to him in the twisted pain he had felt that day when he had accidentally massed while holding onto a Lexi…

*Flash*

He could still hear her screaming as Dr Kane had tried to sedate her. From that day forth his uncle watched him carefully. Eddie had later been told that she had been extremely lucky. Her ribs had been bruised to the point where they had almost been broken. Had they been broken she would have suffered a popped lung. Her arm dislocated, had been popped back into place. Her left arm fractured in three places. Little Eddie had locked himself in his room for three days straight he had done nothing but cry his eyes out. He had nearly killed her. His mother had tried to console him, but he only pushed her away saying he would hurt her too. It didn't help that his uncle wouldn't let him anywhere near Lexie. Both his uncle and father had argued for hours at a time. His aunt had stayed with him the whole time, telling him Lexie was all right. That it had just been an accident.

Little Eddie cried for the longest time, he knew they were afraid. His father had been afraid for him. Eddie had more power in his massed state than any known molecular. It hadn't mattered what anybody said or did they would always be afraid of him…

Eddie couldn't stand those looks then, he wasn't sure he would be able to stand them now. He considered phasing through the floor and into the caves, he knew well enough to navigate his way into the city. Being here like this was literally killing him. He looked away from the two as a thought occurred to him, something he had been told long ago, if his emotions were as stronger when he was upset, Emma would no doubt be feeling them right about now. Eddie had to keep himself calm he couldn't afford to lose it now. A soft touch on his face had him glancing up into the feral's concerned eyes. Eddie stumbled backwards away from her and managed to steady himself against the rear of the car. "I'd never… I wouldn't do anything to hurt her, ever." He said in a near whisper.
