Alex slipped into Jen's room and sat down next to the bed. He took her frail hand in his.

"Jen," He said in a husky voice. "You know I'm not one for goodbyes."

He felt his hand being squeezed as Jen's fingers closed on his. He looked down into her pale face and saw her staring up at him.

"Jen," He said brushing a tear from her cheek. "Hey, I know it hurts but you're going to be all right."

Jen struggled to say something but the tube in her throat prevented any sound from escaping.

"Jen, listen to me. I have to leave my mission is over for now. But I will be remaining here in the present until I know that the future is stable. I'm going to push the button on the nurse call, then I'm going to leave. When you are able to get there I want you to meet me at these co ordinates. We'll be waiting for you there. Jen this is important, we have to make sure the time line remains the same or the future and Time Force will be destroyed. Jen if you understand me squeeze my hand."

Alex felt Jen's fingers close on his again.

"Good," He said rising. "But before I go, there's something you should see."

Alex motioned to Andrew who was hovering in the doorway. Andrew hesitated but the stern glare from Alex let him know that it was an order and he'd better comply.

The look on Jen's face was pure shock when she realized who it was that was standing above her. Her eyes filled with tears and she reached up to touch his face. Her hand shook as she touched his face. Instinctively he took her hand and kissed it.

"I know,"Andrew said looking into her eyes. "I'm overwhelmed too. Up until today I didn't know I had a sister. But now seeing you and looking into your eyes. I know it's the truth."

Jen's eyes suddenly filled with fear her body tensed and started twitching.

"What's happening?" Andrew asked afraid.

"She's having a seizure." Alex said kneeling by the bed quickly and flashed his eyes to the wildly beeping monitors. He put his hand on her forehead. "Jen focus on me everything is going to be all right."

He pulled the orb from his pocket and held it in her hand praying that it had some power left. He looked down at the ball and watched it glow orange which not only meant that Jen had serious injuries but that the power was dangerously low. Alex knew what he had to do. He unscrewed the top of the ball exposing two metal tines.

"Alex it's too dangerous." Andrew warned.

Alex ignored him taking a deep breath and placing his hands over the tines. He didn't notice the sharp pain as the tines pierced the soft skin of his hand.

Andrew watched in amazement and terror as Alex transferred some of his life force to Jen. It had only been attempted a few times and the results were always disasterous killing both parties.

"Please let this work." He prayed.

"I can't let you die Jen." He whispered taking her hand into his.

A white light filled the room and Andrew watched in awe as the light flowed over Alex and Jen. It pulsated and spun for several seconds then as fast as it appeared it dissipated and faded into darkness.

Andrew squinted as his eyes adjusted to the darkness. He saw Alex struggling to his feet. Jen was unconscious. Afraid Andrew rushed to his side.

"Is she?" Andrew asked.

"She'll be all right. It'll take time but she'll be fine." He said pulling himself to his feet. "We need to get out of here. They'll be coming any minute."

Andrew nodded and put his arm around Alex. "Put your weight on me."

As the door shut behind them a nurse scurried into the room .She looked around in confusion trying to figure out what had caused the flash of light in the room. Then she checked Jen's vital signs and smiled when she felt her pulse. "You're going to make it."

She said touching Jen's forehead.

Jen's eyes flickered open.

The nurse smiled at her. "Welcome back. Let's see if we can get that tube out of your throat. Rest easy for a minute. I'll go and get a doctor."

Jen nodded and closed her eyes. A few minutes later the doctor came in trailed by the same young nurse.

"All right then Miss Scotts, let's see about getting that tube out of your throat shall we?"

The doctor shut off the oxygen pump and detached it from the tube.

"Now when I tell you to take a deep breath in and then blow it out. Here we go one two three."

Jen did as the doctor ordered and gagged as the tube came out.

"Easy, breathe in and out slowly." The doctor said raising the bed up then left the room.

The nurse came over with a cup of ice water and offered her a straw. She sipped at it the gag reflex dissipating.

"Better?" She asked.

Jen nodded. "Where am I?" She asked her voice a hoarse whisper.

"You're in Silver Hills Memorial Hospital. Try not to talk to much that tube left your throat very irritated." The nurse said.

"What year?"

"It's 2005 why is that so important?"

"Collins, Wes Collins." She croaked.

"Wesley Collins?" The nurse asked. "Miss Scotts, he was the one who pulled you from the plane crash. He's here in the hospital too. He was hurt when the plane blew up."

"Wes,"

"He's all right," the nurse said gently. "I can arrange for you to see him."

Jen nodded.

"All right then. Let's make a deal. First we need to get you cleaned up and then I'll see about getting him down here to see you. He's anxious to see you as well. It's a strange think that both of you were near death just a few hours ago and you've both made miraculous recoveries."

Jen smiled she exactly how these miraculous recoveries had happened. She was worried about Alex. She knew that the transfer of life force energy was extrermely dangerous and she also knew it could do lasting damage to the donor. It was a very uncommon practice and was mostly illegal.

The nurse finished gently washing her face and then brushed Jen's hair. It was obvious she must have been in private employ, even nurses in the future were to harried to pay this much attention to one patient.

"Your name?" Jen managed to whisper catching the nurse's hand.

"My name is Elise." She announced cherrily.

"Thank-you Elise."

"No need for thanks. This is just a job I enjoy doing."

Elise propped Jen up in the bed even more and then left the room and came back with a heated blanket. It felt good on Jen's sore limbs.

"All right Miss Scotts. I want you to rest. It's going to be a while before you can see Wes."

"Jen,"

"All right then Jen. I'm going to lower you down a little. Your body is healing and you need rest."
