Defying Gravity

Mulder held the man against the wall with his hands behind him in handcuff fashion. Scully took another look at the stranger who supposedly knew her, and recognized him. "Charles?" she asked incredulously.

Mulder then exploded "I thought you didn't know any bikers!" he said looking at her and no longer at the stranger.

"Hey, buddy do you mind, the lady happens to be my sister." The stranger said at last.

"What are you doing here?" she asked not receiving a visit from hr younger brother in 7 years.

"I heard about your stalker and came to see if i could help out." he replied

Scully stared at Mulder who still was left in the dark about the stranger's identity. "Oh, sorry, Mulder," she said "Charles meet Fox Mulder, my partner... Mulder, Charles Scully, my brother."

"Hi" Mulder mumbled to Charles "What's with the outfit?" he asked the stranger, still feeling stupid for the way he acted.

"Charles is a cop-undercover." Scully explained.

Charles turned to his sister, ignoring Mulder completely. "I need a place to hide out sis." he said

"Why?" Mulder demanded

"My cover runs so deep that the cops don't even know I'm a cop, so hiding with a few FBI agents will erase guilty look."

"Well sit down, Charles I was just about to make breakfast." said Scully indicating to a vacant chair. She noticed mulder was still watching Charles warily, not fully trusting him yet.

Mulder watched as Charles sat in the chair Scully had pointed to as he sat down himself and watched as she made breakfast. She was so very beautiful this morning, he thought her hair was tousled from the previous night when he had kissed the sanity out of her and she had also done to him. God she was a wonder! Meticulously she cracked the eggs on the side of the counter and put them on a frying pan.

"Over-easy?" she said as she looked in Mulder's erection,and as she looked she could not help but let escape a knowing smile from her her lips.

"Yeah." he said nodding catching her secret look that promised him more wonders that he probably never existed within his enigmatic partner and he gave that look back in full earnest.

Charles did not miss the looks between his sister and her partner and he guessed something was going on here between them. He had heard things about this guy Mulder from Bill and so far they were all negative, but he guessed that was just part of Bill, but now he began to wonder whether or not his big sister was keeping a watch out for herself. He didn't want to see her get hurt and if this guy shatters her feelings there would be no escape from him, who cares if he is an FBI agent, if he hurt her he was going to pay, bigtime.

That night

Mulder and Scully had filled Charles in on what was going on. Charles just like the brother that he is decided to help them out and play the hero again, just like when they were kids, Scully mused. Mulder again had shown her the true side of heaven on earth with his soft caresses and his firery hot kisses that seemed to brand a mark on her flesh and.. just HIM, all of him. She watched him now while he slept, his breathing slowed to regular motion and his heart to a slow drowsy sleep-filled rhythm. She smiled to herself, only Mulder could make her feel this at ease amidst all this chaos, but would he leave after the chaos had become peace? 'For a while' again came his words. Could she ever face life as normal after all that has happened? Could she ever go back to being the cool sophisticated person that she was before? No, to that last question, she thought with Mulder life was too tipsy-turvy to maintain any kind of balance or structure. She pushed an errant lock of hair off his forehead and kissed him lightly on the mouth. His eyes opened gently and she felt when he deepened the kiss to awaken both of their arousals. She pulled away from him and smiled down at him all her fears temporarily laid to rest as Mulder began to work magic on her breasts and between her legs, She flew higher and higher until there was no rational thought left in her mind.. Just Mulder.

After they had again felt the earth-shattering power of their love-making they just lie in eachother's arms each buried in their own thoughts.

"Scully?"

"Hmmm?" she asked drowsily and satisfied

"Tomorrow's the meeting for SCUFOS."

"Okay Mulder." she said as she kissed him and then fell asleep beside him.

The next day Down town Washington D.C. civic center. SCUFOS meeting place

"Charles said he's be here today." Mulder said to Scully as they walked into the room, which housed millions of college students in all manner of colorful costumes with signs saying "Welcome visitors!" and the like. A classic UFO conference the kind Mulder lived for.

"Yeah, I saw him a while ago." she said watching Mulder who seemed to her like a kid in a candy store while she was trying not to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.

"Chains and leather?" he asked her giving her that look that told her he still did not fully trust him.

"Opera cape and feathers." she said absently missing Mulder's look.

They politely listened to a three hour speech given by the guest speaker, Wilfred Bauer, Scully was not really listening to this talk, she was watching Mulder who seemed very interested in this little speech this guy was giving, she studied him like a piece of artwork, the long brown hair with he closely shaven cheeks and chin with just enough side-burn to give him that rakish look that she supposed women loved. The too-longinsh nose that looked as if it had been broken more then once gave the other-wise courtesan look of him a more earthly look. his eyes were fathomless polls of green that she felt she could drown in, and as he turned her way to look at her she did that just now, and she saw that he knew she was looking at him, admiring and praising with her eyes and she smiled and he smiled back and gave her hand a reassuring squeeze as she felt that squeeze she considered where her hand lay and if she moved it just an inch...She felt sure of Mulder's feelings tonight for some reason she did not know but at that moment she felt that Scarlett O'Hara could have taken lessons from Dana Scully.

The next morning

"Charles?" Scully said to the rumpled form of her brother lying on her balcony chair.

"Huh?" he asked startled out of his sleep.

"What are you doing out here?" she asked as she ushered her brother into her apartment.

"You locked your door so I climbed up the fire escape and camped out on the balcony." he said giving his sister a contemptuous brotherly look.

"Sorry." she said. "Come in and warm yourself."

He did and he gave her a wary look and thought it was about time to have that talk with his sister about her partner. "Hey, sis can we talk."

"Sure," she said curious as to what he might say.

"Are you sure about this guy Mulder?" he asked

Oh great she thought another one of Bill's sermons on how mistreated she was by Mulder had reached the ears of her younger brother and she said with as much patience as she had with Bill "Charles, Mulder is a good man, and he just wants to make sure that I'm protected, and he would never hurt me, of that I am certain." she said earnestly.

Charles taking that for an answer though it was obviously well rehearsed. "But do you love him?" he asked concerned

The long pause that was her response said that she thought about that question and was still not sure herself. "I don't know." was all she could say.

"And Dana there's something else I need to talk about with you." he said avoiding that angle of conversation for the present.

"What is it." she said noticing his expression, which was somewhat reluctant.

"I think our guy was there yesterday, at the meeting." he said
