‘thoughts’

The soft sounds of laughter bounced along the stone walls as Jared walked along the lit hall. He smiled as he heard the others relaxing and enjoying each other and making the newcomers feel at home. He knew that Jensen would be all right with Jeff, but he had to see if bringing Jensen there was right. When he had first found Jeff, he had thought that perhaps the older man was who he had been searching for at the command of the Elam seer, Sati. Jeff hadn’t been exactly as he had thought and had turned out to be like him as one of the Finders. Since then, they had both been searching whenever they could for the one that had been prophesized centuries ago that would be the end and the beginning of a new life for the Elam and humankind.

Sighing, Jared rolled his shoulders and then his neck as he arrived at the room that Sati stayed in most of the time. He knocked once and went inside when she called for him to enter and smiled as he ducked inside and was greeted with her gentle smile and knowing dark eyes. She was a petite young woman that had Indian descent in her blood, which showed in her dark black hair, brown skin, and almond shaped eyes as well as the small red dot in the center of her forehead. She was also one of the most powerful seers that had been born into their group in centuries. She had a special talent for finding what one’s destiny would be by looking into the person’s eyes. Jared trusted her with his life and she felt the same for him. It was her gentle words telling him why he was so special that had put him onto the path that he was on now.

Strolling over to where she was sitting on a reed mat between a pair of candle holders that lit her body with a gentle glow, Jared sat down into a lotus form and placed his hands on hers where they rested in front of her. She turned her hands up and wrapped her slender fingers around his hands just a bit. “You bring another to us today, Jared. You think that he might be one of us?” she asked softly and her accent lilted through her voice with amusement.

“I think so, yes. Jeff thinks so as well. I don’t know if he is the Chosen One, but I’ve caught him using his gifts unknowingly,” Jared replied softly and looked up at her through his bangs.

“He is special to you like Jeff…a good compliment to your soul though I sense that you are still feeling like you are missing something,” she whispered and then looked up at him. “He is not the Chosen One, but don’t give up hope, Jared. I believe it strongly in my heart that you will find the Chosen One and then your destiny shall truly begin,” she stated reassuringly as his face fell at her declaration of Jensen’s status.

“What is my destiny, Sati? You say this every time I or Jeff or any of the other Finders do bring someone. Why is my destiny linked so much with the Chosen One? Am I someone special outside of being one of the Finders?” he asked desperately before sitting back and running his hand through his hair in frustration. He had been so *sure* that Jensen was the Chosen One.

“Your destiny as well as Jensen and Jeff’s are linked deeply with the Chosen One’s. I can not say more because I do not know more, Jared. Don’t give up hope. Enjoy your love,” Sati said gently as she also sat back. He looked at her and she smiled at him warmly then wiggled her fingers. “I enjoy watching your show every Thursday. You truly do love that show, don’t you?” she commented and he laughed.

“I do. It’s so fun and the storylines are interesting and working with Jensen is just…amazing,” Jared enthused as he relaxed into talking about his outside life.

“Jensen helped you when Sandy betrayed you…I’m glad,” Sati murmured tenderly and Jared’s smile became affectionate as he thought back to that time, not even disturbed by her clear knowledge of that time in his life.

“He did, especially since Jeff couldn’t be there. How…how is Sandy?” Jared inquired hesitantly and threaded his long fingers together nervously as he asked about his ex. He and Sandy had broken up when he’d found her with another man, one who had turned out to be one of their enemy, the Faithful. She had even been giving away some of what Jared had been doing to the group and the Elam had had to evacuate their old base because of it. He’d broken it off with her immediately, but the betrayal had stabbed him deep and he’d feared along with several others, Jeff and Jensen prominent in that group, that he’d never recover from the hurt. But he had and had instead found a deeper love in Jensen to compliment with Jeff’s, whom he’d been seeing off and on while dating Sandy. After Sandy, their relationships had taken off into a world that far surpassed anything he’d ever held with Sandy.

“She is one of them now. I’m sorry Jared, but she had already been on the road of betrayal not long after you’d met her,” Sati answered with a sympathetic smile.

“Why did you let me stay with her if you knew this?” Jared asked in surprise. He hadn’t known that Sandy had been an operative even at the beginning.

“Because there are reasons for meeting the people who come into our lives. You needed to realize your purpose and to find Jeff and Jensen. Do you remember that you never once brought Sandy here? I think, even then, you knew she was wrong, but there was a part of you fighting to be normal in a world where *we* are becoming the new ‘normal’,” Sati responded and grinned when he nodded sadly. “Don’t worry, Jared. Everything has a purpose. Have you met the new member, Philip?”

Blinking at the strange request, Jared thought back to who he had been introduced to. “Young guy, my age, about six foot or so? Treber, right?” he replied thoughtfully as he remembered the kid who had greeted him enthusiastically, extolling on how he liked the show and how his eldest sister loved the show. “He’s a big fan, if I remember correctly,” he added with a chuckle.

“Keep an eye on him. I think he might be the connection to the Chosen One,” Sati said, which earned a startled look from Jared. She smiled serenely before standing up and stretching just a bit, balancing on the muscled arm that Jared offered as he stood as well. “Time to go and greet the newcomers,” she declared with a chuckle.

“There are a lot of them. We grow every day,” Jared agreed and grinned as she placed her hand on his arm while they walked out. He courteously bent his arm to give her a better grip as they walked down the hall to the main gathering hall.

“Yes we do. Human kind is adjusting to the destruction it has caused. Mother Earth is directing us to that adjustment. The Chosen One shall lead us completely into the new era and we shall know peace upon the birth of freedom,” Sati intoned mystically and Jared smiled in anticipation. It was what all of the Elam hoped for. The Chosen One was to bring about the bridge between humans and the Elam, who were basically humans gifted with extraordinary powers.

Jared’s own power was a mix of many things, but his strengths were super speed and telekinesis as well as an affinity for detecting others like him, which made him a perfect Finder. Jeff’s own strengths were healing and the ability to speak with animals as well as the same affinity as Jared. Jared was certain that Jensen’s strengths were in telepathy and creating illusions. But he needed Sati to confirm it, so that had been why he had brought Jensen to one of their Gatherings. All of the Elam had the same basic powers of the mind in telepathy, telekinesis, and semi-control of nature as well as abnormal speed and strength that was ten times that of a normal human. But all of them also had specialties that were honed and helped them to live.

The Finders were a special group that was able to sense a human that was exhibiting their powers of the Elam. Jared was the leader, having taken over from his old teacher from high school, Frank Kiefer, who had been watching over him when he was younger as he had started exhibiting his own Elam powers.  Frank had confronted him not long after he had landed his role on Gilmore Girls and it had made such sense to Jared that he had eagerly embraced it and had become dedicated to the Elam from the get go. Though they were secretive and he had to watch his powers, Jared felt that his work was the most fulfilling thing he did in life.

His thoughts were interrupted as they arrived at the Chiming Hall, which was what a young Sati had christened it when she had first arrived. There were crystals set up on all of the lamps that circled the room and a breeze always seemed to be blowing around the room, creating the chiming noise that soothed all of the Elam, for it represented their connection to Mother Earth as well. Even as they walked in, Jared felt his own spirit calm and become peaceful and he smiled and nodded here and there to the gathered as he led Sati to the small platform that was in the center of the room. He then moved over to where Jeff and Jensen were, shaking his head just a bit when Jeff sent him a curious look and smiled sympathetically when Jeff’s face fell just a bit in disappointment. But their attention was directed towards the front as the ceremony began.

“Greetings my family and welcome to all who join us here this night. You are all here by invitation or by calling and are welcome with open arms. I would like to ask our newcomers to please step forward and surround the platform, for it is a tradition with our group that we greet the newcomers into the warmth of the Mother Earth and our family,” Sati explained with a gentle smile as she stood in the middle of a trio of candle stands.

Jensen glanced at Jeff and Jared as several people began moving towards the front and Jared and Jeff both nodded encouragingly as they smiled. Smiling back, Jensen shifted down to the center dais and took his place next to a girl who looked no older than twelve and a large woman who was most likely about in her early thirties. The group faced Sati as the rest of the Elam gathered around the group and held their right hands out over the collection of people while raising their left hands above their heads. Sati mirrored the Elam and smiled. “Mother Earth calls to us and we shall answer her.”

“She is always our guide…always our light,” the Elam answered her and their heads tilted forward.

“Her children shall gather until the Chosen One leads us to peace,” Sati intoned joyfully and a soft glow began to surround the newcomers.

“Blessed be that time. May peace come and life shine through,” the Elam responded and the glow intensified before dying out, leaving the newly welcomed Elam bewildered and almost high from the peace and warmth that had filled them with both understanding and welcome.

Sati smiled at the newcomers as they looked up in amazement. “Welcome to the Elam, my children. The ones who brought you here will explain everything in detail. Be happy in our Mother’s love,” she declared and the Elam applauded and cheered as the newcomers turned to face them. Jensen looked over at Jared and Jeff with a delighted smile and they laughed and clapped in answer.

Weaving around the other people as the newcomers disbanded and mingled with the gathered Elam, Jensen grinned as he came up to them and was immediately hugged. “So this is what you meant whenever I heard you two talking about gathering when we were in LA,” he commented as he stood back and fairly beamed at them. Jared could very much remember how he’d felt when he’d been inducted.

“So, have an idea about who you are now? Not so weird, is it?” Jeff responded as he squeezed Jensen’s shoulder reassuringly.

“Yea, it’s actually…comforting to know I’m not alone. But Jared’s assumptions were correct in that my strength is in telepathy and illusions. Nice call by the way, Jare,” Jensen replied and grinned as Jared laughed.

“Keep it under your hat, Jen…we’re heard, not seen,” Jared retorted with a wink and also a hidden warning. It was a common rule they all lived by. They don’t exhibit their powers unless it was absolutely necessary and only if they could cover it up as just some miraculous happening. A few times some of the newcomers would get over exuberant in trying out their enhanced powers and they’d had to be hidden until the brouhaha had died down or had been forgotten.

“Gotcha…been doing that for years, ya know? But this…” Jensen trailed off as he flexed his hand and grinned.

“We take the newcomers to our hidden base and train them for three days. Now that you’ve awakened, the learning curve is incredible. You’ll learn how to fight, how to hone your abilities, and build your connection with the rest of the Elam. Jared and I will be teaching you also one more thing,” Jeff explained with a smile.

“What’s that?” Jensen asked as he grinned even wider at them.

“How to find others like us. You’re a Finder, Jensen…I think you know this quite well,” Jeff answered and winked as Jensen frowned and nodded slowly.

“I always felt attracted to others who felt the same as me…” Jensen murmured thoughtfully. He looked up then and cocked an eyebrow. “Allison and Kristen…most of the Smallville cast…and others I’ve met. They’re part of this?”

“Yeup. Allison and Kristen can manipulate objects at the molecular level and can change their density. Tom and Jaime both can twist reality, which is so freaking cool to watch when they get pissy!” Jared replied and Jensen laughed.

“Mike can leave his body and move things and you remember Eliza Dushku? She can teleport,” Jeff added and Jensen coughed as he shook his head while grinning.

“That explains some of those pranks! Mike’d act all innocent when things would fall over suddenly on set!” Jensen declared and Jeff and Jared laughed and nodded.

“Yea well stay away from Chad when he’s drunk. He tends to become a fire spout if you know what I mean,” a deeper voice commented before a congenial hand clapped Jensen on the shoulder, surprising him. “Welcome to the group, Jenny-boy. Knew you were one of us,” Steve added as he grinned at his friend.

“Steve, you’re one of us too?! I never knew!” Jensen cried before hugging his friend and slapping him on the back in greeting.

“Some Finder…couldn’t even tell his best friends were gifted,” Steve teased his friend as he draped his arm across Jensen’s shoulders.

“So what’s yours?” Jensen asked after shooting his friend a glare.

“And when did you get here? I thought you weren’t coming,” Jared added with a grin.

“Hitched a ride with Eliza. She’s over there visiting with Sati,” Steve explained and grinned as Jensen snorted in amusement while Jared and Jeff nodded in understanding. “And as for my power…let’s just say that my singing tends to get people to do things they normally wouldn’t do,” he added with a naughty smirk.

“Remember that episode we did with Andy? That’s Steve’s power as well as an incredible constitution. He can eat anything and it won’t affect him,” Jared elaborated with a wry grin.

“Comes in handy when I have to drink cocky sons of bitches under the table,” Steve remarked casually and Jensen laughed at that.

“Wow…that’s just…there’s a lot to learn,” Jensen stated with a grin as he shook his head. He looked over as Jeff patted his shoulder.

“It is a lot, but you adjust and then, life goes on,” Jeff replied and winked.

Jared smiled at them as they continued filling Jensen in on Elam life. Yea, life went on and new people joined them every day. That was just…how it was meant to be. And it was up to Jared and the other Finders to make sure that everyone came into that new life safe and sound. Peace would come soon…he was sure on it. And nothing would stop him until he found the Chosen One. Not life or the Faithful.

He focused again as Steve brought up the fact that he was going to be at the convention in Chicago that November. He grinned as the older man elbowed Jensen. “Dude, you so have to come! The fans’ll love it and we could do a concert for them!”

“Yea, come on Jensen! You and me together up there! I mean, even Kripke is going and I bet we could then get Jeff here to go and have a Winchester family happy time up front!” Jared cajoled his lover and flashed his dimples for added measure. Jeff groaned along with Jensen and Steve laughed.

“The dimples…they get me every time,” Jensen growled and Jared laughed in triumph before hi-fiving Steve. Mission accomplished…the fans were going to love it! With that thought in mind as they all headed for the outside courtyard that connected to the secret passageway to their base, Jared had a feeling that things were going to be getting nice and exciting from then on out.
