Declaimer – Joss is Boss, you know the drill. I own nothing but I wish I owned everything, including the snuggly Jayne sighs BUT I DON'T so I have to deal with it

Chapter 6 – Short recap of last chap. Simon, Kaylee and Inara are free from their bonds! Jayne and River shot their two captives, Mal passed out, Simon was fixing him until Jayne passes out and won't wake up after feeling another one of those strange feelings. So the question is… will Jayne be okay? Will he wake up?… DUM DUM DUM! Let's find out!!

P.s. I'm in a strange mood if you haven't noticed.

Chapter 7

"We'll I've stabilized them both. Mal will be fine, just some blood loss and a slight concussion." Simon said rubbing his hands together and glancing at his newly patched up sister. They were all in the mess hall feeling mighty lonely without their two dominate male figures to argue or crack a joke. Hell even Inara would have settled for one of Jayne's jokes right now.

"I thought you said there would be no major injuries?" accused Inara, she wasn't angry at River, but she needed an outlet and it just so happened to be directed at her.

River frowned, her eyes slightly bloodshot and her cheeks an ashen white. "I didn't see… grey engulfed the sky, swallowed it up… clouds so thick. I felt it, he felt it… must have misinterpreted. This is bad, this is very, very bad." She had sunken to the floor during her babbling and she didn't make a move to get up again.

Kaylee frowned, feeling her own tears starting to well. "Simon?" she asked, asking the unspoken question that they were all thinking.

"He's in a coma. I've scanned him for injuries external and internal and I can see no reason for it. His brain is functioning at full velocity, maybe even a bit more so than normal… but the rest of his body's not. I have no explanation for it."

"She cursed him, said she was a witch but no one would listen. They were right, they were all right! Burn her! Burn her! They screamed. Burn the witch! They were all right!" she was babbling again and they all turned to her sorrowfully.

"Mei mei, this wasn't your fault." Said Simon, stepping towards her. "You can't put him into a coma."

Kaylee nodded beside him, getting up to comfort her friend.

She glanced at them with blank eyes and both took a step back upon seeing the absence of life within them.

"I'm cursed! Get away!" she screamed, as she leapt up from the ground and sprinted off towards the cargo bay.

Kaylee burst into tears, and Simon put an arm around her, still quite puzzled by his sister reaction. She had almost reverted back to what she was before Miranda and he had a sinking feeling that she may revert all the way back.

"You don't think…" Zoë began but finished quickly, glancing at Inara who gave a knowing nod.

Zoë moved a little closer to the women, keeping out of earshot from the doc and mechanic. "How long you reckon?"

Inara shook her head. "I've seen the looks they give each other, but I don't think they fully know yet. There's something there alright, but I don't get this. This is just well…" she couldn't find the proper word.

"Weird?" Zoë finished.

"Jayne?" River whispered, gripping the comatose man's hand. Mal was in the bed next to him, sleeping off his medicine so she was alone with him, alone with her thoughts. "I … I think I know what's going on… I didn't mean it to happen, I didn't want it to…but for some reason it did. I did this…they did this." She squeezed his hand a little tighter; somehow she wished he could hear her.

"They did something to me. My brain works differently from yours. …I heard things they didn't want me to hear… a side effect of the treatment, a curse." She began to whimper and a single tear rolled down her face as she struggled to continue. "It all makes sense now, these things we've been feeling, these things we can't explain. They said that if we, the experiments become too close to a person… if we began to feel things they don't want us to experience…they'll make that person's mind accelerate…I don't know how, but it has something to do with the injections, the countless injections, the poisons, the toxins in my brain." She shook her head, refocusing. "… but that's not all… they'll send you into darkness …they'll push you away…and when I mean push I mean…" she took in a deep intake of breath and sobbed, choking on her tears. "They'll kill you Jayne… they're killing you. I'm killing you with my brain." she chuckled sorrowfully. "I wasn't lying." She wiped her nose, and let out another heart breaking sob.

Jayne's heart rate increased on the monitor and she pulled her hand away from his. She blinked the tears away, she knew what she had to do now, and she'd stop at nothing to do it. Her face turned determined and icy in a matter of a second. "…but I'm not going to let that happen… I can end this, I can stop them. It's time I became what they wanted me to be, except this time…I'm coming for them."

A/N I know its short but I just had to end it there cause like in a tv show that would sooooo be a to be continued :D but as usual I'll update asap! So its not all that long to wait :P
