*thanks for reading everyone!* 

I have emotional motion sickness

I try to stay clean and live without

And I want to know what would happen

If I surrender to the sound

Surrender to the sound

It had been a whirlwind first case with agent Mulder. They had returned from Oregon earlier that day, and though she was able to control her cool demeanor, her internal feelings were swirling. As she walked through her door, she felt a smile creep on her face and a sensation glow in her chest. She was a staunch skeptic and scientist. But the case they had just worked took so many turns and left so many questions unanswered that she was starting to see the thrill of chasing "the truth".

She brought her bag to her room and began unpacking. Her mind swam with questions, not only about their previous case, but about the future. She was placed in this division by mysterious men, half of whom she didn't know the names of. It was clear they wanted her to discredit agent Mulder, but she knew she couldn't do so in her right mind. She wasn't any sort of secret agent. The case had sparked interest in her, but she wouldn't let on how it made her feel to agent Mulder.

She had worked hard to cement her cold exterior. She hadn't really been an emotional person to the world. She took everything so seriously and pushed it all down to please her father. It served her well in some arenas, but terribly in others. The FBI had provided her an opportunity to establish herself as someone serious, and she was not going to let that slip away.

Walking into the kitchen, she started the water for some tea. It was part of her nighttime routine. She wondered when her heart would stop soaring and her mind would stop racing with possibilities.

After getting ready for bed and putting on her favorite pajamas, she got under the covers and switched the lights off. With a smile, she wondered that maybe this assignment would allow for her to surrender to the whirlwind of emotions that life causes, instead of building walls up. Sleep came easily that night.
