Spoilers/Rumors: "Reality
Check" missing scene
Season: 2
Rating: PG
Content Warning: Adult situations.
Summary: Brennan tries to understand
what is happening to Shalimar.
Author's Note: This story is based
during and after the last scene between Shalimar and Brennan in the episode
"Reality Check" This is how I would have liked the scene to go or
just a good ol' shipper twist lol! The beginning is an exact replica of the
scene except for maybe one or two words here and there. I've got the episode on
tape and I watched it a bunch of times to make sure I had the dialogue right.
Everything after Brennan says, "Don't forget where home is." Did not happen in the episode just in case someone hasn't seen the
episode. I didn't want to get anyone's hopes up lol! Anyway, I like the
episode and scene so much because Shalimar had sort of her own mutation like
Brennan did in "One Step Closer" but Brennan was the only one who
knew about it and I thought that was kind of neat.
Pairing: Shalimar/Brennan

She knew
he was close…she could always tell when he was near. His mer
presence made her skin tingle and her heartbeat accelerate just enough to catch
her attention.
"Off
on another solo rendezvous into the night?" he called from around the
corner just before she exited the room.
Shalimar
hesitantly stopped and turned around halfway to seem him come from around the
corner. He looked worried she noticed. He always worried and that got on her
nerves on occasion. It made her feel like he didn't think she was capable of
taking care of herself or that she wasn't competent enough to stay safe and out
of trouble. She knew he had been following her the past couple weeks, but she
wasn't sure why. "Something like that," she
acknowledged.
He
nodded as he stepped closer to her, "I don't have to be a telempath to get inside your head." He knew something
had changed about her. The past few weeks she had been going out late and
coming back late. She wasn't sleeping as much and she seemed more irritable.
She
turned to face him, "Really…" she took a few
steps toward him."…tell me."
He
continued toward her, "Well we all know you've got a wild side, I mean,
that's what we love about you. It's just seems lately it's gotten a whole lot
wilder," he expressed as he came to a stop a few feet away from her. He
didn't want her to feel trapped. He kept his distance hoping to have a decent
conversation with her.
She
nodded, "I guess…can you deal with that?"
"Like
you said I don't have much of a choice do I," he retorted.
His
words hit her a certain way and they made her feel
bad. She couldn't help what was happening to her and she realized that was what
had him so upset. That he couldn't do anything about it, but at the same time
there was nothing wrong with her she was just coping. She couldn't look at the
expression on his face any longer and turned to leave.
"Don't
forget where home is," he reminded.
She
stopped and looked at him. He had the most pleading look. He was actually
afraid she wouldn't find her way home, that her own
nature would lead her astray. It worried her to an extent. Her powers were
always growing and changing more into a feral…it scared her sometimes. She
turned to face him and closed the distance between them. "I won't
forget…" she leaned up on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips. "I won't forget,” she repeated putting her arms
around him.
He
closed his eyes and wrapped his strong arms around her and lifted her off the
ground into a hug. He didn't want to let her go, more than anything in the
world. He wanted to keep her next to him, but he knew that neither of them
could stop what was happening. He lowered her back to her feet and brushed her
hair away from her face. "You play nice okay," he joked without a
smile but she could sense the hidden humor in his voice.
They
stared at each other a moment longer then she turned and left him to stand in
his own thoughts. He sighed once she was out of view.
"I'm
here Shal…" he whispered to himself.
Down the
hall Shalimar smiled to herself and kept on walking.
