DANA SCULLYS APARTMENT, GEORGETOWN
Two years ago, she had been recruited by the FBI to work as a forensic pathologist. Her parents had been silently disapproving, but she just thought it was something she had to do.
She had always done what was asked by her parents. Especially her dad, but this time she just wanted to do something of her own choice, so she accepted the offer from the FBI.
Two years later, she was looking out the window in her apartment, wondering what her new assignment would be.
She had to attend a briefing in two hours, where she would get all the details. Suddenly the ringing of the phone disturbed her daydreaming. She already had a feeling who it was, so she picked up the phone and said “Hi, Missy”. “How did you know it was me Danes?” A female voice replied. “Well, it’s not only you who got paranormal vibes. Just kidding, can’t you remember you told me yesterday, that you would give me a call before my meeting today?” Dana laughed. Sometimes her sister was so distraught that she forgot her own name once in a while.
They were so different in their personalities but they really loved each other, and could talk for hours.
“So, little sister. Are you ready for today? Any cute guys around you have to work with?” She laughed.
Dana sighed. It was typical for her sister to bring men into their conversation.
“No, or actually I have no idea.” She sounded a tad annoyed. “It’s all very secretive, so I have no clue whatsoever this new job is about.” She explained, but she could just see her sister's wicked smile through the phone.
“Sure. Right Danes.” Melissa couldn’t help laughing. “Missy? Is there something you’re not telling me? Please spit it out!?” Dana said impatiently.
“Well, let me see.” There was a long pause, until she continued. “Talk to you in the afternoon.” And then she hung up. “God damnit Missy!” Dana yelled, while slamming her phone down.
She hated when her sister did that to her. She certainly did have a sense of something that she wouldn’t tell her.
Well to hell with it, she had to get going so she wouldn’t be late.
FBI HEADQUARTERS, WASHINGTON D.C.
Dana had attended the meeting for an hour, where she was briefed about her new assignment. She had to work with a Fox Mulder, she only knew by reputation.
Apparently she had to debunk his work on the x-files, and she actually didn’t like the idea to infiltrate another person's work, so she had silently promised herself, only to help her new partner with her scientific point of views.
She hesitated a bit, when she stood outside the basement door, but decided to go with a firm knock on the door.
“Sorry, nobody down here but the FBI's most unwanted” she heard a male voice reply, before she opened the door, and saw Agent Mulder sitting at his desk.
“Agent Mulder. I'm Dana Scully, I've been assigned to work with you” she said hoping he couldn’t hear the uncertainty in her voice.
She could feel his mistrust radiating from him immediately, and frankly she didn’t blame him after her meeting.
“Oh, isn't it nice to be suddenly so highly regarded? So, who did you tick off to get stuck with this detail, Scully?”
“Actually, I'm looking forward to working with you. I've heard a lot about you.” She said, while trying to look him straight in the eyes to give him a silent hint that she wasn’t going to slander him, but apparently it didn’t work, as she heard him say: “Oh, really? I was under the impression... that you were sent to spy on me.”
That sentence stayed in her head for a long time, even when he continued to ramble about a case in Oregon they had to investigate. She saw a lot of slides with dead people, and two remarkable marks on their bodies.
After the briefing about their new case, she went home to pack, so she could be ready at the airport the next morning.
DANA SCULLY'S APARTMENT, GEORGETOWN
Scully was packing her suitcase when the phone started to ring. She hadn’t forgotten the previous conversation with her sister, and dreaded the interrogation she was bound to go through.
She just picked up the phone, closed her eyes and sighed “Hi Missy”. “So, how was work, and how was Mr. Old and ugly guy?” Her sister asked with a teasing voice.
“He is not old, and absolutely not ugly. He has beautiful hazel eyes, dark hair and is very tall.” It was just right there that she understood she had walked directly into her sister's trap. Dammit she thought, now knowing she would never get rid of her sister.
“Ahhh, so your new partner is a hottie. You better watch out little sister that you don’t get some rumble and tumble in the office.” She said, almost laughing her head off, as she could sense her sister's embarrassment.
“That is strictly again the bureaus policy concerning partners working together, so drop it Missy.” She said, and hoped she had closed her sisters mouth for this time. She hadn’t. “So you never said he wasn’t hot. He is hot isn’t he Danes?” She said, but Scully quickly replied: “Look Missy, I am not having this conversation with you. I can’t look at my partner the way you suggest, and I have to pack my suitcase, as I have to be in the airport early tomorrow. Talk to you later, ok?” Dana said, and hung up on her sister. On the other end of the phone line, her sister was smiling. Dana hadn’t denied the second time either, that her new partner was attractive.
HOTEL ROOM, BELLEFLEUR, OREGON
Scully was trying to type their findings on her laptop, but was constantly disrupted thinking about the strange things that had happened since they had arrived in Oregon.
She had had some stressful and strange days. First by the autopsy she had to do on that...that thing.
She had discovered a metal implant in the neck of the being, but she had no idea what the hell it was.
Furthermore, Mulder had been totally ecstatic, taking pictures all the time while she was trying to be thorough with her examination.
After that, the scene at the hospital with Billy Miles and Peggy O’ Dell, where Peggy had totally lost it, and in the chaos that followed, she and Mulder had seen Peggy got the same two marks the other dead’s had shown.
She had yelled at Mulder for trying to hide his thoughts about what this all meant, so she had asked him to cut the crap and tell her.
What he said was like a punch in the stomach. “Why? So you can put it down in your little report? I don't think you're ready for what I think.” He had said venomously.
It had hurt her, that he still mistrusted her that much. She didn’t understand why it was so hard for him to know she wasn’t going to slander him.
He had eventually told her what he thought about them being abductees, but she didn’t buy that without evidence.
Then there was their loss of 9 minutes while they were driving in the forest. She couldn’t explain that to Mulder in any scientific way.
Time couldn’t just disappear but it had.
She needed to take a bath to clear her mind, but suddenly the power shut down, but luckily she found a candle she could use.
When she was undressing, she felt some bumps on her back and totally panicked, so she grabbed her robe and headed for Mulders room.
She knocked frantically on the door, and didn’t realise how undressed she actually was.
Scully was so scared that she didn’t notice his surprised look on his face when he saw her standing there, shaking like a tree in the wind.
“I want you to look at something” she said with pleading eyes. “Come on in” he offered. He looked at her lover back and touched the marks to feel what they were. His fingers lingered a bit too long. He had difficulties explaining what he felt at this exact moment, because it felt like a turning point in their professional relationship.
The trust she showed him, by undressing in front of him, so he could take a look on her moved him deeply.
After telling her it was mosquito bites, he decided to tell her the truth about him and his search for his sister.
Scully was moved to the bone. How terrible it must have been to lose a sibling like he had. She didn’t believe the abduction story. There had to be some other explanation but she stayed silent and listened to the whole story without interrupting him.
“You don’t really believe me do you?” he asked with vulnerable eyes. Such beautiful eyes he had. She couldn’t determine what colour they had. “It’s not important what I believe. No matter what happened, something terrible happened to you. It’s not something you will ever recover from.” She said, looking him straight into his eyes.
It was like they started communicating with their eyes and slowly started to accept one another.
Mulder moved from the floor, and sat on the bed opposite Scully. Scullys heart started to beat faster. She could smell his cologne and couldn’t take her eyes away from his beautiful face.
She knew she shouldn’t feel the way she felt at this moment, but she didn’t want to take advantage of his vulnerability.
“Thank you” he said with a raspy voice. She couldn’t resist touching his face. Embracing his beautiful cheeks with her soft hands. He sighed when he felt her fingers caressing his cheeks, and all the bad things that had happened to him seemed to disappear at this very moment.
Only him and Scully existed. They could hear each other's strained breaths. He grabbed her hands and held them in his. Her hands felt so tiny compared to his.
At this moment she couldn’t think about anything else, other than how it would feel to kiss him. How his lips would feel against hers before his tongue would invade her mouth.
Oh God how she wanted to lie down on this very bed, dragging him on top of her and making love to him.
Feel his soft skin against hers. Feel his fingers slowly play with her folds and eventually rub her bundle of nerves while he entered his fingers inside her.
Making her scream before he entered her with his rather large cock.
Fucking her until they both came in one giant orgasm.
“Scully” he said with a deep voice she hadn’t heard before. He took her hands and kissed them slowly. She swore she felt a bit of his tongue licking on her finger.
“I know what you are thinking. I know what you are feeling. I feel it too, but not now. Soon, but not yet.” He bent forward and kissed her forehead slowly. His lips lingering a bit too long there. She closed her eyes so she could keep this moment as a sweet memory. She understood. She really did, and respected him more and more for not taking advantage of her.
It seemed like they were in the middle of the universe, and nothing else than them mattered.
They could both feel the special tension they had, and didn’t want to ruin it.
“It was nice talking to you Mulder. Thank you for confiding in me. I really appreciate it. Good night.” She said leaning forward to kiss his forehead like he had kissed hers before.
When she entered her room again, she fell down on her bed and fell into a deep sleep.
