Title: Control within
Author: Tunder28
Rating/Warnings: none yet G(parental guidance)
Pairing: B/S
Disclaimer: Don’t own them but I really wish I could
Author's Notes: shortly after the episode, one step closer. Shal starts to go through her mutation.
Summary: Brennan and the others all try to get through to Shalimar when she’s going through her mutation.
Shalimar’s thoughts…
What will it take for you to see?
See the thing inside of me.
It can take complete control of me
Only I know what it can be.
You try to show me it lies within you to
But you know what to do.
You know what I’m about to say
Each second of every day.
You try to show me control
But it lies beneath the surface like a mole.
My one and only weakness
…Is your warming near-ness.
Brennan’s thoughts….
Soft and warm tears ascend your face
Like you’re struggling to win an endless race.
If you’d only let me show you
The feeling that can shine threw.
The amazing feeling of it all.
Your first feel like you can’t fall.
But soon that will dim
And a new fire will rise within.
Brennan watched from a corner of darkness, as she struggled once again. She gritted her teeth and crunched her hands. Shivering with the need to keep control.
It lasted for about 2 minutes, before she fell to her knees and gulped in her breaths.
He scolded her softly in his mind. If only she’d let them in, he would for sure help her out. No he didn’t know what she was going through, but he’d help if he could.
He walked the rest of the way to his room. Normally he would run to prevent Shalimar from catching him. But she wouldn’t be moving any time soon.
He reached his room and lent against the door, as if expecting foot steps to suddenly sound off the floor.
Tomorrow he would show her, maybe then she would open her eyes to see the full size of the world.
Reply and tell me if u all like it, if u reply I can post the rest of it.
Thx 4 reading

hey guys. Just to contribute to the site. Story mostly about Brennan and Shalimar.
Chapter 2-What's wrong
The next morning, she exited her room, walking quiet fast to go and hunt in the woods that surrounded sanctuary. Brennan watched her as she snuck out, but didn’t follow her. At times, every one needed time to them selves. Besides, if she caught him following her, he might become the hunted.
He went to the kitchen, where Jesse was sitting on the couch, stuffing his face with something Emma had made the day before. it was some thing sweet, and it was delicious...but he wasn’t in the mood for it.
He opened the fridge, trying not to distract Jess from the film he was watching. But he seemed to fail in his task.
" Hey Brennan? where's Shal?"
Brennan shrugged, keeping his head inside the fridge, " Don’t know...she went out I think?" He heard Jesse sigh from where he was sitting. " She still the same then?". But the emotion in his voice said he was sad that Shal was still going through her...change. He too had saw how Shalimar some times struggled to contain the feral in her. He really wanted to help her, they all did, but she had started to block them all out, since she nearly bit his head off two days ago.
two days ago
Brennan was in the dojo, doing a routine work out, unknown to him, Shalimar had been watching.
Jesse was walking through the main area of sanctuary with Emma, both chattering away about a new mutant who had just came into the underground...and she'd chatted Jesse up. Emma was teasing him about it, and he just made it worse when she mentioned it, his cheeks went bright with red.
Jesse turned to Shalimar who was sitting with a book on the top of her knees, but was pointed in Brennan's direction.
" Hey Shal...you ok?...you look a bit tired". She looked up at him and tried to smile, but her mood had suddenly shifted now some one had broke her concentration on a certain thing.
" Ye...I didn't get much rest last night..." Jesse smiled, " Maybe Em, can help you out. it would at least get her off my back for a few minutes".
Shal shrugged, not really looking at him or Emma. She tried to look at her book, but Jesse's voice came through again. She lent her head back against the wall, the heat in sanctuary at the moment felt like it was strangling her. She sighed deep, slightly annoyed now Jesse was constantly bugging her.
" Shal...are you sure your fine...maybe Adam should give you a check up-" "-JESS, Jess. I'm fine...just a bit over hot and I’m in a bad mood so...please don’t aggravate me more".
Jesse fell silent at her sudden out burst. Emma looked at him and tried to tug him away before any thing could kick off.
Brennan had stopped his work out because of the out burst from her and turned to see what was up. In seeing this Shalimar got up with a huff and started to walk towards her room. Jesse shook his head and went after her, determined to cheer up the person that was like a sister to him.
" Shal...I’m sorry. but what's wrong?"
She swung round, her eyes golden now. " WHAT'S WRONG IS THAT YOU KEEP ASKING ME THAT JESS! I TOLD YOU I'M FINE". with that she stormed off out of sanctuary.
Hours later she came back drenched since it had been raining. Brennan was the first one to see her and froze when he did. She was shivering, and he misinterpreted it for her being cold.
" Owe Shal...why didn’t you come back when it started to rain...god, here". He took his jacket off and hung it over her shoulders, rubbing her arms to try and get her to warm up. He felt her head and fear roared in his gut when it was burning. " Shal...your head's burning-" Before he could finish she grabbed the collar of his shirt with a vice grip and pulled him close to her. When he saw her eyes were still golden he started to feel panic slowly sink its teeth into his nerves.
" Shal...what are you doing", she looked up at him, her grip tightening as her eyes seems to shimmer for a second.
He didn’t know what she was gonna do, " Shal...take control, you need to get con-" before finishing a low growl silenced him. and it seemed that was why she had done it...to make him shut up.
She leaned close for a second, as if looking deep into him...and then, in a flash she pushed him back and did a full sprint for her room, where the last he heard from her was the slamming of her door.
Shalimar's thoughts
why can’t I control this side of me
some thing that rages with me to be free.
slowly it’s taking over my action
building up this tension.
I fear the day I lose my control
I fear then I will be trapped in its hole.
Hidden underneath the surface of it
slowly disappearing bit by bit.
keep enjoying it guys. reply please.

By the way...Shal going through her mutation means she is mutating. Changing like Brennan did. It will be more explained in the story....
present day
Brennan joined Jesse on the couch and sat down next to him. he would either confront Shalimar when she came back...or suggest an idea to Adam.
It was 9am in the morning and Shalimar didn’t come back till 12. She seemed better, but the slight jitter, and fidgeting signalled some thing else.
Brennan saw her walking to the dojo and decided it best if he has a talk with Adam first, just leave her alone for a bit. He asked Jesse to come with him to the lab, to help him convince Adam his idea was good. He'd already explained to Jesse his idea and Jesse had agreed with him.
They waited till Shalimar was fully into her training with the simulations before sneaking past and going to the lab. They didn’t want her to do a runner again.
" Hey Adam...can we talk".
Adam was leaning over another piece of work, and when Brennan and Jess, came in, he smiled. "Of course...what's on your minds".
Brennan folded his arms trying to make the words in his head before he said them. He looked at Jess, who nudged him on to continue. "well...we think, it'll be best for what Shal's going through if..."
Jesse nudged him again, " If...we go some where were she feel's more...relaxed. you know...more at ease".
They both waited for Adam to talk, but he remained silent, still looked down on a piece of paper he was reading. Before Brennan or Jess could ask him if he was listening, his head popped up to them, his face smiling. " Of course...just what I had in mind". He walked round to the computer and started to type some thing out. It lasted only a few seconds before he turned back to the two-team members.
" I've been looking for places that she can feel more at ease, and I believe, I may have found it." he pulled up and image of a 3 story house...the house, surrounded by tree's and forest.
" This house, belongs to a friend of mine. When I told him about Shalimar...he suggested this place would be the best therapy for her to relax".
Brennan huffed with surprise, " Wow Adam..." Jesse nodded, " Ye...that place is huge. So is Shal just going or is it all of us". Adam smiled, " We're all going. The fresh air will do you good and the best part is Shalimar will feel better. Call it a vacation if you like. We'll all be leaving tonight if you like...so go and get some stuff ready".
"How long are we going for?". Adam smiled again at Brennan, " About a week...but if Shal still isn’t better, it may be two. Just pack your stuff for a week away and if a week turns into two, then we can come back and get some things".
Jesse smiled, " alright Adam. But...who's gonna tell Shal..." The room suddenly went silent, and in that silence, both Adam and Jesse looked at Brennan.
" What!...No way...no...she's already in a bad mood. I'll probably have a few broken ribs after it...Adam...no". Brennan's voice was slightly panicked now. They'd dropped it on him.
"Yes Brennan. you can tell her. She's more open with you...besides the worst that could happen is she says no. She bit my head off, she wont do the same to you". Jesse was smirking now.
" What make's you think that?"
Again the room fell silent...but Adam and Jesse knew what was going through their minds. Brennan looked at the both of them, and both turned to look at some thing else, feeling awkward to explain it to him.
Finally Adam and Jesse pushed Brennan out the lab. Jesse then went to get some stuff ready and Adam started to make arrangements.
Brennan found Shal just finishing up on her work out, and when she saw him she froze, not really knowing whether to run or stay. She tried to seem she wasn't affected by his presence...but her fidgeting had returned.
He smiled, already nervous, " Hey, Shal". She smiled slightly, but some thing else effected it. She took a weary step down the stairs leading to the floor, testing how far she could get before some thing triggered inside of her.
"Shal...the others and me were thinking, you know, if you want to...to go on a little vacation".
Her eyes shot to his and he felt his nerve going. Already he was fighting the shakiness that had arrived when her eyes landed on him. some thing about those eyes, that made him weak in the knees and almost hypnotise him into doing any thing.
She cleared her throat, head bowed slightly, " Where we going?" Brennan felt his connection with her tug as she stayed put. " Jess and me asked Adam and he came up with the idea of the countryside". She looked directly at him and the weak feeling came over him again.
"...no thanks you guys go I’ll stay here", she started to walk away quickly and Brennan felt his chances to make her go were leaving with her. He ran after her, " Shal...wait. let me just tell you ok".
She stopped, " What!" she was gritting her teeth, but he hadn’t noticed due to her back being towards him.
" We all want to go, and we all especially want you to go as well. It wouldn't be a holiday if your not there".
He saw her back tense though and she turned to him, voice weak, "Brennan...I don’t know if I can". He walked up to her and hugger her, her voice had nearly broke. "we'll be there to help Shal...just like you guys were there for me when I started mutating". She gripped tight onto him, letting a few tears fall. But they weren’t of pain, no, they were of frustration. She was frustrated because she had all these instincts all telling her what to do and then she had the rational side of her mind that told her nearly all these things would destroy her connection to all her team-mates. She didn’t want to lose them, but she was getting tired of fighting off the feral. it was apart of her and on some level, the things it wanted to do...so did she.
"so...are you gonna come. Or am I gonna have to set up camp in sanctuary with ya".
She laughed and started to wipe away her tears. her feral side felt calm and she felt in control when he was close to her. she stepped back and smiled up at him, "ye...I’ll go. when is it. Also you and Jess have to cook me, Emma and Adam the best dinner every". Brennan smiled down at her, glad she was partly back, "Deal, Adam said we leave tonight so get your stuff... and just to let you know...I’m a terrible cook". Shal laughed again and slapped him lightly on the chest before leaving to get packed.
Brennan watched her go and felt the weight of nervousness lift off his shoulders, then ran up the stairs to his room to pack some bags.
Jesse had watched from the crack in his door way and started to smile to him self, before closing his door. Those two so dig it for each other. Now, what to get to impress Emma.
Please reply back.

Control 4
After every one was packed and ready, they all meet in front of the main computer in sanctuary. When the others saw Shalimar with her bag slung around her shoulder and a small suit case next to her, they gave broad and genuine smiles that showed how glad they were that she was coming along.
She stood close to Brennan, almost not wanting to get into a discussion with one of the others. All her senses were focused on him, so she tried to keep her distance from all of them.
Adam stepped towards the computer, where a male face suddenly popped up at the click of a button.
" Adam... I’m so glad you agreed to taking up my offer". Adam nodded with a smile, "Well I could barely refuse. So is it ready". The man on the screen nodded, "all set up and waiting for a few people to come and relax".
Adam started to laugh along with the person on the screen, "thanks Marc". The man known as Marc smiled wide, "hey, you’re a friend and I still owed you. Well hope you all enjoy your stay and have a wonderful time".
every one thanked him and then the screen went black.
The helix was set up and ready to go as soon as the team members got on board.
Adam and Jesse chose to be drivers, so Brennan could keep Shalimar's mind together and help her keep control. Emma was so excited she even gained a smirk off Shalimar as she raved on about what she was going to do and what she was going to wear. Soon, Emma and Shalimar were in a full heated discussion on what they would do and Brennan suddenly wished he was driving when they started talking about clothes.
The ride lasted about 2 hours considering on how far away it was. But when they landed, all of them knew it was worth the time.
It was on an Island, and it was all to them. Shalimar's eyes light up at the thought of running like there was no tomorrow through all them trees. Her eyes flashed gold for a second and she shivered at the feel of the wind as it gust towards them, bringing hidden scents and other things with it. It almost felt like a relaxing hand had swept across her as she stood with the draft of the wind.
Adam guided them to there house, where there would be staying, and that too took away every ones breath. Every one got a room, which they fancied to there own tastes, and started to unpack. the ground floor only had 1 bedroom, but was huge, like all the rest. Adam chose that one, saying it was the best for him.
The second floor, had two big bedrooms, like the third floor, with bathrooms attached. Emma said she'd stay on the second floor, and Jesse quickly volunteered to do the same.
Shalimar and Brennan went to the third floor that held the last two rooms, and the view took their breath away.
Shalimar had chosen the room that, like Brennan's, had a balcony. She quickly unpacked her clothes and stood staring out at it.
Brennan came into her room with a low knock. He saw her admiring the view and walked in, to stand behind her. she didn’t say any thing, and the only knowledge she gave, that she knew he was there, was when she reached back with her hand and gripped his hand to pull him closer to the edge. He almost jumped when she did, and gulped when he looked straight down at the drop below them. He couldn’t help at that moment, but hope she didn’t have a grudge with him, and get the idea to push him off.
He looked towards her and saw she was still staring over the tops of all the trees. A bird flew up and out of the trees. the colours that seemed part of the bird glistened a pale blue and green with the suns reflection. Even when Brennan wasn’t a feral, he saw the colours. They were fresh and vivid like the bird had just been born.
Shalimar sighed and allowed her senses to reach out, letting the flow of every thing roll over her. She felt her shoulders drop as they lowered their defences, felt her mind fall to ease at the feeling of the suns rays painting them selves over her. The wind blew a warm breeze, which amplified the easiness, which settle in her core.
Brennan stood looking at her, not realising he was staring intently. He think of looking away, a small thought kept repeating if he turned, he might miss another moment of seeing how beautiful she was.
He couldn’t help but be drawn in and relax him self. Emma had told him once Shalimar was good at helping you relax, but he didn’t believe her. With him, she was good for keeping him on his toes, but never gave him relaxing lessons. His eyes flickered from the view to her, and then stayed on her. He could almost feel his mouth hanging open, and when he tried to close it, he felt rendered too weak by her to lift his arm.
A hard knock on the door made him jump, but Shalimar was already turned to see whom it was.
Jesse slowly walked into the room, cautious with the look Shalimar had in her eyes. It was a distant look, like she wasn’t there, but some thing else was, in her place. He took a deep breath, remembering why Adam had asked him to come up.
"Adam wants to talk to us down stairs". Silence followed and an odd moment came when he thought Shalimar and Brennan would just ignore him.
Brennan felt him self coming back to reality. He gave him self a quick shake and started towards Jesse. The younger molecular was still waiting for Shal when he passed him to the door. He turned back to see what the hold up was, but made sure to get to the door.
Shalimar gave one last glance at the forest of tree's, before following. Jesse gave a small smile when she followed, and she felt an old part of her self, remind her he was like a younger brother to her. She smiled back and gave Jess an encouraging push towards the door.
when every one was on the ground floor, they had come to realise that the living room was a grand size. The kitchen was cut off, having its own space that too had more than needed.
there was a medium sized bathroom and toilet to which was in the back part of the mansion it seemed.
Adam was sitting down on the couch when they entered the living room. When they stepped in, a calmness hit them. the room reminded most of Emma's room. they all took seats, Shalimar slightly cut off from the others and waited for Adam to start.
"Ok now were all here. I want you all to forget about Mutant x for a few days, and the GSA. no worrying about that stuff".
Jesse cut in, "Adam, what about the new mutant... wont they need us". The group nodded in agreement, but the elder man's smile seemed to counter Jesse.
"I have a small group of people who are more than capable of taking over, for a while. So this vacation is going to be stress free. as you all know and have seen, the forest is every where. There is a small section of the house, which joins like a garden near the back, that had a small pool, but the house makes up for that. there is also an attic, which has some stuff in it but I'm not sure. so have fun for a while, there is plenty to keep you all entertained".
Every one was already thinking of what they could be doing at that moment.
Jesse was thinking of the pool, but some thing about the attic had caught his attention. it sounded boring, but some how, some thing in Adam's voice seemed directed at him.
Emma gave the thought a once over before thinking of what the forest would hold. It was silent apart from some animal noises. But it would hold such peace because there were no people there.
Brennan tried to think his through. He didn’t much like the thought of the pool, while Jesse would surely take it as an opportunity to drench him, knowing his dislike for too much water. He thought about just sitting in, since he knew Shalimar would take the opportunity to go and have a run free in the forest. Well it really wasn’t a forest, more like a new beginning of a jungle. Jesse and Emma would most likely run off some where, and Adam always snuck off to do research.
Jesse and Emma both bounced to their feet at the same time. Jesse said he wanted to check the attic out and was off in a flash as Adam shouted on how to get to the attic.
Emma was out the door in seconds with a quick saying of out side.
Adam stood and went straight to the office that had been set up for him. Brennan suddenly thought of the replacement Adam had talked about. He couldn’t image any one taking Shalimar's position on the team, let alone Adam's. He was the brains and there came no better than him.
Shalimar stood up slowly, "So where you off to then". Brennan gave a shrug, trying not to let his mind wonder. "well come with me then"
Brennan's thoughts crashed into one another like a car pile up. "Really?" She nodded and he saw in her eyes she meant it. Trying to think only made his thoughts slip more so he nodded, "ok. But I don’t wanna intrude or any thing".
She seemed like her old self. She gave a small laugh at him, and grabbed his arm as he got up, and pulled him outside. Emma was sitting on the swing on the porch, cross legged and eyes closed.
They tried not to disturb her as they passed by, and she didn’t seem to notice.
Shalimar took him deep into the trees, where when he looked back, only more tree's cluttered the land. he kept his eyes on her, and followed, not wanting to get lost on the first day. She kept walking deeper and deep, further, and further away from the mansion. he thought for a second she might be following a scent, but she wasn’t weaving about any where. Animals never go in straight line... 'I think'.
She stopped in an area that didn’t look much different to Brennan's eyes than the rest of the place. she tilted her head back, and took a quick sniff of the air. Brennan froze when he saw her do that. It reminded him too much of a wild animal, not Shalimar.
She took quick glances round, making Brennan feel nervous. When she turned, her eyes held a distant look, and she trailed her feet around. Brennan watched patiently, like she was scenting some thing, and when she looked at him, he felt his knees would buckle under the stare.
Her eyes were golden, but Brennan realised, did point at him, but only a moment. Her eyes hit some thing behind him, and he froze. the thought crossed his mind that she may be doing it just to play a joke on him, but her eyes and expression didn’t seem like she was joking.
Jesse didn’t know exactly what he was looking for, but when his eyes landed on a small object sitting on top of a pile of old newspapers, he investigated. He eyes the object intently, revealing what the object was the objects that held it together. He sat down and started to mess about with it, and after a few clicks, of turning and inspecting, it fell together.
He grinned when he realised it was a small device to a system, or a safe or some thing. He looked around to see if any thing else looked suspicious and when he saw a wall to his far left, went to it. a piece of the wall looked separate.
He click a piece into place on the device, and pressed a hidden button. the object gave a small beep before it gave a small red flash. the piece of wall in front of him opened up, and a small computer pulled out. Jesse grinned to him self and started to type on the pad of it. Another beep and the computer screen flickered to life.
It seemed old to Jesse, but it buzzed with new life. Jesse begun examining it, and realised what the computer held on it. A small disk lay on the base of the computer and he popped it in. after a few seconds the disk came to life on the computer.
A list of names flew up on the screen and Jesse randomly clicked on. A face came with the name, and Jesse smirked to him self. The names Jesse thought, some were familiar. They were lists of mutants, for the mutant data base. Adam knew how much Jesse kept it in check and made sure it would stay that way. He gave a sigh and started to search the computer more. a message was left, and weirdly, addressed to him. He opened it, and read it.
I know you've already found the disk and this computer for you wouldn’t be reading this message otherwise. Adam asked me to set up a disc for you so you wouldn’t get bored. it is a list of new mutants, foreign if you like to say, that need to be inserted in the underground. It’s not major since the people have agreed they don’t want to go straight away.
The computer will take any data you feed into it, along with any disks you found, or any you may have with you. It also plays any games you may like. its linked up to any thing you may wanna hack or rig so its all your for the time your at the mansion. just make sure you leave no trail for any one who may track you to the computer.
message from
Marcus
Jesse sighs and his hands worked wildly to search the computer for any games he might enjoy. He found about ten that he'd enjoyed and loaded one up.
Emma allowed her breathing to equal out and her mind to run free. she sunk deeper and deeper into her own mind, as she allowed the peace to swallow her up and engulf her to the extent allowed.
Her mind was in its self, wondering along the lines of eternal peacefulness and bliss. she sighed as she allowed the feeling to spread over her. she'd never get the chance to do it at Sanctuary, never so deep any ways. They were on a lonely island, and it only held the max to their knowledge, 5 people. she smiled and let the feeling of peace wash over her once again.
the wind blew lightly at her and she sighed in the pleasant touch of it. It was warm, but not stuffy, yet a slimmer of cold, hung in it. it was a perfect mixture and she felt she could fall asleep at any moment.
Next one will be coming.
Reply please and tell me what u think.
