Chapter twentyone

Ch 21 

Lucas felt someone sit on his bed but he didn't turn he just pretended to still be asleep, he knew it would be either Tom or Alan bringing him a cup of tea and trying to get him to do something other then mope around, but there was nothing else for him to do without Lyn around, he suddenly found his days to be full of the others to busy to be able to speak for more then a few minutes here and there, he was far to board and the days lasted far to long which, convinced him someone must have slowed clocks down so a normal hour now took at least the time of two maybe some new weapon by some other corporation. 

"I know your awake Lucas, I can tell by the way your breathing" the voice was soft and definitely didn't belong to one of the other men in the bunker, His heart jumped, and he shot up to find Lyn sat at his side, with back turned to him so he couldn't see her face. Lucas jumped from his bed in nothing, but his boxers and knelt by her side, she still wouldn't look at him.  

But now, even after spending the past few days going over all the things Lucas had to tell her, could think of nothing to say. He didn't want to upset her, make her mad, or scare her off again, so for some time he looked over her beautiful face though it was far paler then he was happy with, and getting close to the dirt covered mess he first saw her with. Lucas finally then decided he had to say something. 

"Where have you been? I thought I'd never see you again" Lucas didn't wait for a reply, he couldn't stand the wait anymore, so pulled Lyn close wrapping his arms tight around her, she didn't pull away, but instead lied her head on his shoulder and slid on to his lap 

"No where really, I had to came back" 

"You don't know how happy that makes me" 

"Not just for you, I don't feel well" 

This worried Lucas, Lyn wasn't meant to get sick like they could. He lifted her head from his shoulder so he could see her face closer up. She did look far more pale then he thought right, her eyes has lost there shine and simply looked distant, it seemed that even though she was looking straight into his, she wasn't really taking anything in. 

"Let me get dressed, then I'll get you washed up, something to eat, then bed and you can-" 

"Lucas stop, please, just stop" 

Lyn looked almost as if she would cry, if only the energy was there, Lucas thought quickly over what Tom had said and what he just said to her. Tom had been right he was smothering her, she was created to be something amazing, something strong and powerful and even though at first she couldn't even stand, she was far from that weak little girl now, Lucas just couldn't help himself seeing her as she had been when his mission had been assigned and she couldn't take it any more. 

"I'm so sorry Lyn, um.... I know, why you left and I understand, how about you let me get dressed and we have breakfast with the others" it was weak, but she smiled and finally wrapped her arms around him. 

Lucas walked through the kitchen door he had a smile on his face he thought would never fade, but all three men sat at the table didn't look up. Lucas knew they fully expected him to be half dressed with a face like he seen his own ass, and didn't like what he seen. 

He stood for a few moments waiting to see if they'd look up, but when they didn't he spoke. 

"She's back" his voice was full of joy, he couldn't help, but laugh when they looked up and shock spread over them, not just at what he'd said, but the fact he was smiling and for the first time in days fully dressed.  

The door hit him as Lyn walked in, smiled at the three men now sat like stunned animals in headlamps and sat at the table pored two cups of tea from the pot on the table and sat holding hers gently blowing to cool it. She slid down her chair so she could easily rest her feet on the only part of table that hadn't been covered in other tea cups, plates with breakfast still on them, two lap tops and papers that they all had been working from.
