As the darkness drifted away from her Jen saw Wes hovering above her saying her name softly.

"Jen," Wes said wiping her face with a cool cloth. "Come on Jen come back to us."

"Wes, what happened?" Jen asked weakly.

"You just fainted that's all."

"I was going to surprise you."

Wes laughed. "Well it worked. It surprised just about everyone."

"Well I guess my plan succeeded." Jen answered managing a wan smile.

"I'll go get some water." Elise suggested grabbing Eric by the arm. "You can help me come on!"

Wes watched them leave. He could feel Jen shivering.

"You cold?"

"A little." She answered.

Wes pulled Jen closer to him and rubbed her shoulders. "Better?"

Jen cuddled closer to him. "Much."

"Jen what are you doing here?" Wes asked. "And why didn't you take a time ship. Alex said that…."

"There was a unknown mutant attack, that's only a half truth."

"So what is the real story?"

"The mutants have been taking human hosts and they've infiltrated Time Force."

"How? You've said that it's an extremely secure facility."

"Yes, but if the host is already genetically on file."

"They have no trouble getting in." Wes finished.

"Exactly."

"So what happened?"

"They took over Katie, Trip, and Lucas."

"Alex said they were missing."

"No, we were supposed to take the time fliers back to 2005 to stop the mutants at their source."

"Whoa, wait a minute. Stop the source how?" Wes said looking deep into her eyes.

"Not how, Who?"

"Then who is it?"

"The source is a person and they're somehow associated with either the Collins family, Bio-Lab, or both."

"I don't understand."

"This mutant, he or she traveled back to the year 2005. We were ready to go back too."

"Why didn't you contact me?"

"Security had already been breached and we couldn't risk it until we got here. We didn't want anyone to know. When we got to the time fliers Katie, Trip, and Lucas jumped me. I managed to get to my ship, but Katie threw me against the wall before the hatch closed. I crawled to the console. After that I don't remember much."

"Your time flier crashed. I found you under the bulkhead. Then it exploded. I was hit with flying metal and Eric said I was pretty close to death. Then Alex showed up at the hospital with some other guy named Andrew and he healed us both. Don't you remember any of it?"

"No, I don't should I?"

"Eric saw him go to your room after he came to mine. You were having a seizure but then you were fine. Actually, you were more than fine you were mostly healed."

"This other guy what was his name again?"

"I think his name was Andrew but you have to ask Eric to be sure."

"Andrew." Jen whispered.

"You know him?"

"He's my brother. They separated us when I was five and he was two. I haven't seen him since."

"Why would they do that?"

"To protect us, we were different. We had exceptional skills. It's very rare for two children in the same family to be born that way."

"I thought children were made in genetics labs in the future."

"Some are, but there are a few who prefer the old fashioned method of conception."

"You mean sex." Wes said laughing.

Jen looked at him uncomfortably. "Well yeah."

"I know its hard for kids to think that their parents are…well…doing it." Wes said making a face.

Jen allowed herself to laugh. "I guess it is."

"How are we doing?" Elise asked carrying a tray of lemonade out and putting it on a table.

"Better we were just talking." Wes answered.

"You okay Jen?" Eric asked offering her a glass of lemonade.

Jen nodded accepting the lemonade.

"You sure?" Elise asked putting a hand on Jen's forehead.

"Yes." Jen answered.

"Why don't you go up and rest?" Elise suggested. "You've done quite a bit today more than I expected."

"No," Jen said shaking her head. "I want to stay here with Wes."

"It's okay." Wes mouthed.

Eric took Elise's hand and led her toward the house. She went reluctantly looking back at them a few times.

"She'll be all right. Wes won't let anything happen to her." Eric reassured her.
