Mal's past and River's present seem to have more in common than first believed. NOTE: adult content.


CATEGORY: FICTION    TIMES READ: 2362    RATING: 10    SERIES: FIREFLY

*Disclaimer: All hail Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy. Simple non-profit fan fun. I own nothing (and have no money) please don’t sue.*

This was my first fanfic and I loved every second of writing it. I apologize for taking so long getting the last ACT posted, but I wanted to make it as close to a perfect ending as I could. I tried to leave some things to the imagination…some unanswered questions. Hope it fulfills the promise of the rest of the story.

SHADOWS PUPPETS - ACT VII By Shayz

FADE IN:

INT. AMGINE - CORRIDOR - FLASHBACK

Jess emerges from a sliding door, stands military straight, head high, hands behind her back as the door closes behind her…cutting off a violent SCREAM.

Moving her eyes only, she scans the area. No one around.

Lightning quick her left fist lashes out and hits a glass panel on the left wall, smashing the panel and depressing the red ball/button inside.

An ALARM blares and RED EMERGENCY LIGHTS flash.

Jess looks down at her hand, her knuckles are bloody. No pain registers on her face. She stares at her fist, transfixed: (why did she do that?)

The cut knuckles ooze dark blood.

INT. SERENITY - INFIRMARY - BLOOD SLIDE

Red cells on the screen.

INT. SERENITY - INFIRMARY - SIMON

Pulling away. Simon’s eyes focus’ on the blood cells, maneuvering the computer to zoom in.

Behind him, River leans against the door, but doesn’t come inside.

RIVER: You’re in the middle.

SIMON (turns; startled): Too zai zi! River. Yes…I’m busy. Do you need something?

RIVER: Years before us…she came. Big sister.

SIMON: She’s not related to us.

RIVER: Not by blood. Circumstance. Family…like Kaylee and Wash.

SIMON (returns attention to screen): No.

River considers Simon for a beat, then:

RIVER: It’s hard for you.

Simon’s concern--and possible annoyance--is evident as he looks over his shoulder at her.

RIVER (cont.): Knowing they knew.

SIMON: Don’t believe her, River. She’s telling you lies.

RIVER: She doesn’t lie. She never lies. She can’t. (beat) She didn’t tell me. You did.

SIMON: What? I never said-

RIVER: He came for you. You were trying to find me. Got in trouble. He came to rescue you. But there was a price. (imitating father Tam): I won’t come for you again. (She smiles lovingly): You’d never pay.

Simon’s at a loss.

RIVER: Can‘t go home…don’t have one.

INT. SERENITY - COMMON AREA - CONTINUING

River turns from the infirmary door and glides away. Her hand caresses the walls as she disappears from view.

RIVER (cont.): All gone.

INT. ALLIANCE VESSEL - CORRIDOR - FLASHBACK

PANDAMONIUM - Alarm blaring. Red lights flashing. Could be a night club if there wasn’t so much panic among the people; a rushing CREW mingles with DOCTORS/SCIENTISTS in lab coats, racing up and down corridors.

A computer voice repeats the same message in both English and Mandarin.

COMPUTER (VO; repeating): Containment breach, all personnel, base evacuation in process.

MOVING down the corridor at a calm, leisurely pace is JESS, wearing the red thermal suit, boots and gloves. No one pays her any attention.

CREW #1: What’s going on?

CREW #2: I heard some virus got out.

CREW #3: Made! Juéduì bù!   Isn’t it already too late then?

Jess knows #3 has it right. Jess turns a corner and sees RIVER standing in her way. Jess stops, takes a step back (this isn’t possible!)

RIVER: How many died?

JESS: I don’t know.

RIVER: Do you care?

Jess raises a brow and gives a vicious smirk.

INT. SERENITY - MAL’S BUNK - CONTINUING

Jess’ sitting on the bunk, hands cradling her head, eyes shut tight, not looking at Mal, who’s leaning against the ladder, arms crossed over his chest--manly pose.

Suffering memory flashes, Jess can’t grab her hair hard enough to pull the images from her skull. Her mind isn’t her own…or is it? What the hell’s happening to her now? Is she really going insane?

MAL: One of us better start talkin’. And in my mind, it should be you.

Jess takes a deep breath and smoothes her hands over her face. She doesn’t look at him. She drops her hands into her lap and with her right thumb, rubs the recent scar over her left knuckles.

JESS: D’you remember what we had for supper that night?

MAL: Pheasant with gravy and cobbler. Your ma’s recipe.

Jess closes her eyes and smiles at the memory…Mal’s memory.

JESS: I couldn’t remember. Not the taste…or the smell. Just…smoke…fire. And that horrible screaming from the horse. (beat) What happened to my father?

MAL: He disappeared into the dust…like the rest of the hands. I figure the Alliance got him.

JESS: No. (beat) If they had him, they would have used him against me…as they would have with you. (looks at him) As they did with you.

MAL: How?

JESS: Took you from me. (taps her head) From here.

Mal moves to the chair. Jess’ red suit is draped over the chair, he sits on it, across from Jess…less captainy…more comforting…while still keeping a safe distance.

JESS (cont.): Pushed me…pulled, twisted it all up, taking my life away as if it never existed… making me into something…different. They did kill me, Mal. The Jess you knew died. What came back wasn’t … isn’t what you see now. You wouldn’t have recognized me. I didn’t recognize me.

Moving fast, Jess kneels before him. He sits up straight and leans back slightly but he can’t go far. She rests her hands on his knees and gazes up at him like a lost little girl.

JESS (cont.): Can you ever forgive me?

MAL: Nothin’ to forgive.

JESS: There is.

MAL: It wasn’t your fault…what those gôushî bùrú did to you. Doc says it started way back…before you were born. Now, I’m not all that knowledgeable on such things, but I got the notion even you couldn’t control that.

Jess drops her gaze from his, hiding again. She can’t bring herself to tell him about Serenity Valley and her part in it…in the downfall of the Browncoats.

Mal pats her hands.

MAL (cont.): What were you doin’ in Reaver space? More to the point--how’d you get out?

She pulls away from him and returns to the edge of the bed.

JESS: Better if you don’t know.

MAL: Strange, don’t feel that way myself. Better or not…your arrival kinda swung a wrench in our workins making things a bit too interestin ‘round here.

JESS: If she’d told me…if I’d known it was you…I wouldn’t have--

MAL: Who and huh?

JESS: River hid it from me. She was so desperate to…to feel connected.

MAL: River’s got her own ways.

JESS: I could have so easily been her. Clinging to a moments clarity…she might have gotten the better deal in the end.

MAL: I’m sure she thinks so…when she’s not spoutin’ crazy talk. That doesn’t give me the answers I need about what might be comin’ that I have to protect my crew from. And you.

JESS: You don’t need to protect me, Mal.

MAL: Yeah, I’ve seen your moves. That don’t mean I won’t be lookin out for you from here on.

Jess gives him a questioning look.

MAL (cont.): I mean you’re stayin‘…on Serenity.

JESS: I can’t.

MAL: Not a topic I’m willin’ to argue on. You’re stayin‘. The end.

JESS: Really? And I’ve got no say in that?

MAL: From where I’m sitting, you’ve got all but nothing in this ‘verse to call your own. ‘Cept for that bitty shuttle…which has Kaylee all kinds of spooked by the by. You ain’t getting nowhere far enough in that thing--

JESS (under breath): You’d be surprised.

MAL: --means you need a ride. On my boat. So you’re under my command.

JESS: In what alternate reality do you see me taking orders from you, Captain Reynolds? I’m no grunt. Not a doctor or a mercenary. You got a pilot and mechanic…where do you see me sitting at this table? Local Shen jing bing? You got one of those already, too.

MAL (standing): But you’re stayin‘…with me.

JESS: As what? Am I supposed to sit idly by as you go about your business. Ring my hands together over whatever you’ve gotten yourself into. Or do I go along on the jobs and bring my special talents into the mix, causing even more interesting things to occur? (beat) Or d’you got a notion of picking up where we left off?

MAL (turns his back to her): Uh…no…I-

Jess stands behind him, rubbing a hand over his back, up his neck, fingers through his hair. Mal stiffens, then relaxes. She’s so familiar…she was his home for so long…

Jess misses touching him…being touched. She’s been without human contact, familiarity for a long time. She wraps her arms around his waist and hugs him, pressing the side of her face into his back.

Mal bows his head, accepting the contact.

JESS: I have seen the future and it is you. My love is eternal, my passion true. Forever and a day, we were meant to be. No other shall come between us…there is only you for me. I declare my love and devotion in honor of our pairing. I promise to cherish you from this day forth, in sickness and in health, for as long as I shall live.

MAL: You finished your vows.

JESS (releases him): Had some time on my hands…you know…being two people and all. (over her shoulder) Didja notice…no obey.

MAL (faces her): As I recall, we were still in negotiations over that part when hell broke loose.

JESS: And had I been given the chance, I would have fought you on that up-to and into the wedding.

MAL (grins): I know.

Mal wraps his arms around her and pulls her close.

MAL (cont.): I’ve missed our tussles.

INT. SERENITY - BOOK’S ROOM - SAME TIME

Book’s reading his bible. The door is open so River looks in as she passes.

RIVER: It speaks of suffering.

BOOK: What?

RIVER (nods at book): How much is enough?

BOOK: Suffering is not God’s way.

RIVER: But it is. Suffer for enlightenment…for acceptance in the holy light. One must pass through hell as payment for sins.

BOOK: Well-

RIVER: And what of sins not performed until after passing through …or because of it?

BOOK: That‘s a narrow-

RIVER: Hell is no place for a visit. Too bright.

River moves on, leaving Book wondering.

INT. SERENITY - INFIRMARY - SIMON

Comparing two samples of chromosomes: Jess’ and Simon’s own. There’s a blue dot on the same chrome in each example.

SIMON: Pi hua.

KAYLEE (coming in): Is that cussin‘ I hear?

Simon jumps and looks back.

SIMON: D…don’t sneak.

KAYLEE: Sorry. You find something more about Jess?

SIMON: Not about her.

KAYLEE: What do ya think’s happening with her and the captain?

SIMON: I’m sure the captain’s fine.

KAYLEE: Oh, no…(smiles) I’m sure of that too. I’ve never seen him happier than when he’s lookin at her. It’s sad they lost so much time…I wonder how different everything…all of us would be…if they’d had the chance to be together.

SIMON: It’s possible none of us would even be here. That we’d ever have met.

KAYLEE: So them being apart was good for something…right?

SIMON: Depends on how you look at it.

KAYLEE: How do you look at it?

Simon glances at the computer…thinking. Wishing he’d never met Jess.

KAYLEE (cont.) What was River saying before.

SIMON: River says a lot--

KAYLEE: In the bay…about you doubting something. What don’t you want to know?

Simon can’t admit what he now knows…about River…about their parents…about himself. How would Kaylee look at him if she knew the truth?

SIMON: River’s an enigma.

Kaylee moves in. She gets up close and personal, slowly smiling, catching his eyes with hers.

KAYLEE: I’ve got a notion about it.

SIMON: Which would be?

Kaylee kisses him slow and sweet.

KAYLEE (after the kissin’): You don’t have to doubt me, Simon. And there’s no one keepin us apart…except you. I don’t want to wonder what could have been…I wanna live it. How ‘bout you?

Simon’s stunned silent.

INT. SERENITY - KITCHEN - RIVER

Wandering inside, touching the walls as she moves.

Jayne’s getting some food. He watches River with renewed interest--and fear--as he takes his plate to the table and sits.

JAYNE: Hey there…River. Just gettin some chow. You hungry?

Across from Jayne, River runs her hands over the back of each chair at the table.

JAYNE (cont.): Guess not.

RIVER: Come and go. Come and go. Can leave any time. Leave a mark. (she looks directly at Jayne) She left a mark on you.

Jayne rubs his neck.

JAYNE: I don’t bruise easy, little girl.

RIVER: Embarrassed. Beat by a girl.

JAYNE: Was not! Happened too fast is all. I’d give her a run if I was ready.

RIVER: She’d kill you.

JAYNE: She shoot…like you?

RIVER (cont.) (looking at her own hands): Not with her hands.

INT. SERENITY - MAL’S BUNK - CONTINUING

Still hugging, Mal caresses Jess’ hair and tilts her face up so he can look at her.

MAL: You forgive me?

JESS (astonished): For what?

MAL: Putting off the wedding…not saving-

Jess puts a finger over his lips and quiets him.

JESS: You get none of the blame, Malcolm Reynolds. Ever.

Jess starts to pull away, but he holds her in place. They share a long gaze and then an even longer sweet kiss.

INT. SERENITY - BRIDGE - WASH

Wash is checking read-outs. He’s huffy and Zoe looks equally pissed.

ZOE: I simply said she’s not-

WASH: Yeah, I got that.

ZOE: It’s not personal, Wash.

Wash twists in his chair and grimaces at her.

WASH: It’s entirely personal. It’s so personal there’s no telling the persons apart.

Wash makes a face realizing his words don’t really make sense…then he shakes it off.

WASH (cont.): It’s really personal.

ZOE: I thought we cleared this up…back when Niska-

WASH: Don’t…do that. This has nothing to do with Mal and everything to do with you.

ZOE: Wash-

WASH: Look me in the eyes and say the words, Zo. Tell me--

ZOE: I can’t believe you’re saying this. I chose you. I choose you!

WASH: And again this has nothing to do with that. I’m not turning all green. You are.

ZOE: That’s just bad lighting. (off his look) Fine. I don’t trust her.

WASH: Because she has the captain by the gao wan.

ZOE: Wash.

WASH: Would it be so bad if Mal was happy for a change?

ZOE: Of course not.

WASH: Just not with someone who can kick Jayne’s ass better than you.

ZOE: Not better than me.

WASH: See…jealous.

Zoe glares at Wash…but she’s not denying it.

INT. SERENITY - MAL’S BUNK - MAL AND JESS - CONTINUING

Still kissing. Their breathing quickens, kisses getting deeper, hungry.

INT. INARA’S SHUTTLE - SAME TIME

Inara’s sitting on her sofa, eyes closed, fingers caressing her lips…

INT. SERENITY - INFIRMARY - SAME TIME

Simon looks up from his work. He’s alone. He drops what he’s doing and stalks out of the infirmary…on a mission.

INT. SERENITY - BRIDGE - SAME TIME

Zoe turns to leave.

WASH: We haven’t finished.

ZOE: You made your point.

WASH: So you can walk away? Don’t you think a bit of self-discovery is a good--

Zoe grabs Wash by the collar and pulls him into an all out make-out session.

INT. SERENITY - ENGINE ROOM - SAME TIME

Kaylee’s wrench slips from her grip and clangs on the floor…she doesn’t notice. She heads for the door.

INT. SERENITY - MAL’S BUNK - CONTINUING

Mal and Jess are all hands and lips, attacking each other with unrestrained passion.

INT. SERENITY - KITCHEN - SAME TIME

River’s hand moves up her arm…she’s felt this sensation before…she looks up sharply.

RIVER (whispered): So soon?

Jayne’s fork clinks against his plate. He gets up suddenly.

JAYNE: I’ll be in my bunk.

Jayne heads toward the living quarters. River runs out of the kitchen in the opposite direction of him.

INT. SERENITY - EXT. ENGINE ROOM -- SAME TIME

Kaylee and Simon nearly slam into each other at the door. Simon grabs Kaylee around the waist and pulls her into a hot lip lock, lifting her off her feet and moving back into the engine room. Kaylee’s caught off-guard and starts to giggle.

INT. SERENITY - MAL’S BUNK - CONTINUING

Mal trails kisses down Jess’ neck.

JESS: This can’t be a good idea.

MAL: Then by all means, we should stop.

JESS: Probably.

Jess cups Mal’s face with both hands and pulls him back into a kiss. He grasps at her shirt, undressing her.

INT. INARA’S SHUTTLE - SAME TIME

Inara lays back on the sofa, breathing fast, stroking her neck with fingernails.

INT. SERENITY - EXT. RIVER’S ROOM - CONTINUING

River stops short and grips her chest. Breathing shallow and fast, she pushes herself into her room.

INT. SERENITY - RIVER’S ROOM - CONTINUING

River falls onto her bed in fetal position. She starts to cry.

INT. SERENITY - MAL’S BUNK - CONTINUING

Jess rips open Mal’s shirt and attacks his chest with her mouth and tongue.

INT. SERENITY - BRIDGE - CONTINUING

Wash pulls away from Zoe and gives her a questioning look.

ZOE: You know that’s how I apologize.

Wash takes her hand and leads her to their room.

ZOE (cont.): What about--

WASH: That’s what auto-pilot is for, dear.

INT. SERENITY - ENGINE ROOM - SAME TIME

No longer giggling, Kaylee runs her hands through Simon’s hair, holding his mouth against hers for dear life. Simon roughly turns her and pushes her against the bulkhead as his hands move over her clothes. He presses his body into hers.

INT. SERENITY - MAL’S BUNK - MAL AND JESS - CONTINUING

At once frenzied and gentle, Mal lays Jess on the bunk and strips out of his shirt as she attacks his britches. Mal finds her mouth again and they -

INT. INARA’S SHUTTLE - SAME TIME

Inara opens her eyes and gasps.

INT. SERENITY - ENGINE ROOM - SAME TIME

Still locked together, Kaylee lowers herself to the floor and Simon follows her down.

INT. SERENITY - WASH and ZOE’S ROOM - SAME TIME

They’re going at each other with wild abandon.

INT. SERENITY - MAL’S BUNK - CONTINUING

Mal and Jess tussle under a single bed sheet, clenched together in the tight space of the bunk. Sweaty. Breathing hard between kisses. Touching, moving, not letting an inch of space come between them.

INT. SERENITY - CARGO BAY - SAME TIME

Shuttle lights turn on.

COMPUTER (V.O.): Online.

INT. SERENITY - MAL’S BUNK - CONTINUING

Spent, they roll to the side and gaze at each other. Jess caresses Mal’s cheek with the back of her hand.

MAL: I love you.

JESS: Now you tell me. (smile; single kiss) Close your eyes.

MAL: Why?

JESS: Please.

Mal does as she asks. Jess holds her hand over his eyes for a moment; when she pulls it away, Mal is sleeping.

JESS (cont.): I’m sorry.

Jess slips out of the bunk…silently crying.

FLASHBACK MONTAGE MAL‘S DREAM:

The images fade in and out, one moving over the other slowly then frantically to the last one.

Young Jess peeking out from behind her father, smiling. Young Jess fixing dinner. Teen Jess wrestling with Mal. Alliance (bald) Jess strapped to table and attached computer. Teen Jess winking at Mal. Jessica laughing with husband Craig. Teen Jess dancing with Mal. Jessica screaming over dead bodies. Teen Jess running from fire with Mal. Jessica waking up in Serenity infirmary. Jess taking Jayne down in cargo bay. Alliance Jess releasing Reaver.

INT. SERENITY - CARGO BAY - STAIRS

Coming down the stairs, Jess is wearing her red suit, her hair pulled back tight, heading for the shuttle. She looks down SEEING:

THREE BLOODY BODIES: KAYLEE, BOOK, JAYNE lying dead on the CB floor and herself standing over them.

Jess closes her eyes, though she continues to walk down the stairs without losing a step. When she opens her eyes, she looks down again, SEEING:

RIVER looking up at her. Waiting.

Jess hit’s the CB floor and smiles at River.

JESS: Wanna take a ride?

RIVER: All sleeping?

JESS: Yes.

RIVER: Exhausted.

JESS: Pleasantly so, I would guess. (touches River’s cheek; big sister) I’m sorry it hurt you.

RIVER: Don’t want you to go.

JESS: You could-

RIVER: Can’t go…(this is) home.

JESS: Fair enough. You know I have to.

RIVER: Or they’ll come.

Jess nods.

RIVER (cont.): Did you tell him?

JESS: In a manner.

Jess heads into…

INT. SHUTTLE - CONTINUING

Jess steps inside.

COMPUTER (V.O.): Welcome Commander.

JESS: Good to be back, Men-Shen.

River follows Jess inside and looks at the now sealed hidden compartment.

RIVER: Lampyridae…firefly…in the Latin.

Jess smiles at this.

RIVER: Hard being alone. Too many voices.

JESS: Too many screams.

River looks around the shuttle and smiles…she’ll miss it. Jess gets busy readying for flight. River turns to Jess.

RIVER: It wasn’t you.

JESS: Shénme?

RIVER: Releasing the monster.

JESS: Unfortunately…it was.

RIVER: Body…not soul.

JESS: Yeah, ‘fraid I might no longer have that.

RIVER: She was in charge. Since Serenity…

Jess faces River.

JESS: No excuses, mei mei. I did it. I killed them.

RIVER: No.

JESS: …Jessica? How?

RIVER: She’s wrong…she lies…wants to hurt them…and you. For what was done.

JESS: She protected me.

RIVER: She‘s a thief.

Jess thinks about this…doesn’t buy it completely.

JESS: Well, she’s gone now.

RIVER: Leaves a mark. Dark spot. Can’t be washed away…can only fade.

JESS: What can I do?

River hugs Jess tight. Jess is stunned by the sudden, fierce contact.

RIVER: Don‘t let go. Remember the center. Remember him. Always.

River pulls back and give Jess a solemn stare (as if she’s the big sister).

RIVER (cont.): You can win this.

JESS (smirk): First place? What’s the prize?

River smiles but says nothing. She turns and glides from the shuttle. Jess watches her leave. Tears brimming, Jess looks sharply at the lights above the shuttle door.

The door closes.

INT. SHUTTLE - CONTINUING

Jess sits in the pilot’s chair and looks out the view port longingly. She swipes at the tears and presses buttons on the console.

JESS: I’ll have to settle for second place.

INT. SERENITY - BRIDGE - CONTINUING

Pulling back SEEING Mal, wide awake, in his captainy stance, watching the shuttle pull out of the bay. He holds his head high, refusing to admit defeat.

MAL (cold): So-long, Jess. Thanks for stoppin by.

A SMALL HAND links fingers with his until it’s holding his hand tight. River is standing next to him. Mal closes his eyes and takes the hand to his lips, kisses the back of it.

RIVER: Zài-jiàn, my love.

MAL (cont.) (choked up): I’ll miss your face, ài rén.

Never looking at each other, Mal and River stare out the view port at the departing shuttle, all the while holding hands.

BLACK OUT.

THE END.

*Men-Shen - Chinese - This was two deities who guarded the door against evil. They embodied protection.*

Boy, was that ever good. You did well mixing all those images in the flashbacks. A shame Jess is too much of a trouble-magnet for Mal&Co. Wonder if Simon will be mortified by his new carnal knowledge. Excellent ending to an excellent story.

AMDOBELL


I absolutely adored this but wow, do I feel so sad for Mal. And Wash had it right about Zoe being jealous of anyone being closer to Mal that her. You do know of course that nothing would be cooler than a sequel? (Hint, hint) Many thanks for a great story, very unusual and very well told. *Xie xie ni*, this was shiny. Ali D :~)

Wow. Fine work. A satisfying ending (double-entendre intended *g*).

The conversation between Jess and River clear yet cryptic--nice combo. All really well done.
