Authors Note: This is inspired by me watching the movie Titanic again – most epic love story ever. Anyway I am inspired to write a Jecker love story into it. Please tell me if you like this, and thank you for reading. Sorry the prologue is so short, the next chapter will be longer.
Prologue
In hindsight Jess seriously regretted wearing those ridiculous purple heals that day. Matt had been including her more and more out in the field, not that she mined it but on that particular day he had called her out at the last minute. There wasn't any creature that had come though so she went as she was.
When she arrived there she saw that Becker and Matt were standing right beside the closed anomaly talking to each other in low tones. Connor and Abby were standing next to one another as well, both looking down at Connors anomaly dater, she sauntered to them looking over Abby's shoulder.
The date read out between 1905-1920.
"Do you think we have ever had an anomaly to that time before?" Jess asked curiously. Connor and Abby both jumped when she talked – they hadn't heard her come up behind them.
"Well, from what Cutter said, anomalies have been opening up for a long time now, so it is possible this one has opened before." Connor ventured. For reasons Jess couldn't even begin to understand she walked over towards the anomaly. She was standing right in front of it when her heel caught on the inside of her jeans causing her to stumble. What happened next was so fast Jess almost couldn't even track it.
While falling she knocked the Anomaly Locking Mechanism over when it hit the ground it backfired and re-opened the anomaly.
"JESSICA !" Becker cried, Jess felt him grab her arm but the sheer force of her falling was enough to pull him through with her. Jess slammed into the ground – that felt suspiciously like wood. Becker landed on top of her – something she wouldn't have minded in any other circumstance but having his full weight land on her in a dead fall hurt.
"I'm sorry..." Becker apologized as he started to pull himself up.
Over his shoulder she watched in horror as the anomaly spun faster, expanded then blinked out. Becker looked behind him Jess saw in his expression that he acknowledged that it was closed – to her amazement he didn't seem all that upset by it.
Becker pulled himself up and off of her looking around; they were in a room…still being on the ground Jess felt slight vibrations under the palm of her hand.
"Where are we?" Jess asked taking Becker's outstretched hand as he helped her up. Becker looked around the room.
"I think were on a boat." He replied, Jess noted the slight moment she felt under her feet she looked around curiously. Becker's hand cupped her cheek gently guiding her attention back to him. Jess felt herself blush at the intimate touch.
"Are you alright? You broke my fall?" Becker questioned worried.
"I'm fine Becker…the anomaly closed, what are we going to do?" Jess asked trying to keep the panic she was feeling from boiling over.
"It's alright – with the way things have been going with the anomalies I'm sure it will open up again… besides I have a detector in my backpack." He comforted, Jess was still frightened but felt better knowing that Becker was here with her.
Cautiously Becker moved around her to the door, he looked out it both ways.
"First we need to figure out exactly where we are." Becker said matter-of-factly, Jess at the moment was inclined to agree with him. Following his lead they left the room walking down the hall, Becker checking ever turn before they moved. Were they were was oddly empty, Jess was trying hard to hide the her slight limp – in all honesty she wasn't as unhurt as she led Becker to believe.
They made their way down another hallway and Jess just happened to glace down at the wall and what she saw their made her abruptly stop. She didn't move as Becker kept walking ahead of her. It took a second for Becker to realize Jess wasn't behind him anymore. Backtracking he made his way over to her.
"Jess…please stay with me." He commented though clenched teeth, she didn't even bother looking up at him.
"I think were in serious trouble Becker." Jess said her voice barely above a whisper as she pointed to the lifering that hung on the wall. Becker looked at it.
Titanic, London, 1912
"Oh, brilliant." Becker commented in exasperation and disbelief.
