Wynne recognized immediately that he pressed the wrong button, having Brennan to thank for that skill. Taking a deep breath, he took her hand and flipped it over so he was tracing the lines on her palm.

"That's a bit different you know. You were pressured into making that decision. I'm glad that things turned out the way they did. I am. Harper is a stronger person, and I got to meet you but Jolie... it's almost as if Ce is looking purposely for that breaking point. To push him too far into the deepend. I can understand pressuring each other, to help each other, but as something continual. Would you continually put Harp into the same place you had left her?" he asked her.

"Maybe it's just my way of seeing things, I don't know, but you know that everybody see's things differently. This will probably just be one of the thing's that we'll butt heads with a lot, but you really can't let this whole mess with Mike and Ce's, which isn't our mess to begin with, cause us to get into an argument. Let them solve it themselves. I'll see it how I want and you'll see it how you want. Don't let their problems cause us problems."

***

Brennan continued his soothing gesture as he shrugged. "His type are the hardest to figure out. You don't know what's going on in their head. You'll figure it out though. You know him better than anybody else here. If there's anybody he'll open up to it's you... or Harper." he added in as a last thought. "If you need help, or just need to talk, you know I'm here right? It helps to get it all off of your chest." he smiled softly at her.

***

Mike groaned in pure agony as he reached out and pulled her closer. "Please don't do this to me, Harper. You make me want to throw my idea out of the window even though it's probably the right one."

Sitting up on his bed, he pulled her into his lap as he just sat there holding her, seeming to draw comfort in her presence. If there was one person who ruin all of the plans he just thought of, it was Harper. "Liking you makes everything so difficult, but I don't want to stop." he whispered as he just held her, feeling compeletely and utterly broken at the moment.

Jolie wanted to pull her hand back, but held her ground, “Yeah...you look for that breaking point because the enemy will too. Mine was and always will be Harper, but you need to know these things because once they know it, they'll keep digging at it to get what they want.” she told him flatly. “But its not just their problem Wynne...If you can't control your emotions in the field your sunk.” she looked at him knowingly. “You're right, though, I don't think we'll ever come to an understanding on this...”

***

“I think Harper has a much higher chance than me at the moment....” she said with a sigh but looked over to Brennan with a small smile, “Thanks...” she kissed his lips softly, but as she pulled back the door to the outside slammed open. Ce took a deep breath as she heard the cocking of a gun against her head.

“You have three seconds to explain why my men found Mason dead after being seen walking into the building with a sexy little woman on his arm....” Sean hissed.

Ce slowly turned her eyes to him, “Get that goddamn gun out of my face, O'Hara....” when he refused her hand flew up and knocked the gun up as it went off, lodging a slug in the ceiling. She drew her own gun and focused it on him. “Get out. No! You leave him out of this.” she snapped as Sean turned his gun to Brennan.

“Or you'll what?” he challenged, as three other guys, guns at the ready, came in. “I'm sick of you running your mouth and thinking you're so high and mighty.”

“You know I only shoot to kill.” she snarled, her eyes looking around to the others, then to Brennan. Her heart was racing....today was just purely shittastic...

***

Harper folded her wings against her back as he pulled her up onto his lap, her head resting against his chest as he spoke. “Then don't....” she urged softly, pulling back a little to look up at him. “Why is it so difficult? Y...you aren't going to leave....right?” she asked, her eyes searching his. He was the first guy aside from Brennan and Wynne who she was comfortable around after what had happened to her, and the other two didn't really count. She didn't know what she'd do if Mike left....

She rested a hand on his chest lightly, the bruising on her arm showcased in the bright light of the room. “Come on....what's going on?”

At this Wynne just let her hand go as he sighed in frustration. "Are you really going to pissed off over this? Really?" he asked her, his golden eyes seeming to flicker with agitation. He was sitting her trying to fix it and she was going to fight him every step of the way. So be it.

***

Brennan smiled, feeling all happy inside as he accomplished his mission in making her feel better. It seemed that he could still do something right. One thing he did not appreciate, however, was being interrupted by a bunch of idiots with guns. Really?

He looked calmly over at Sean as he watched the man pull the gun on him. Hell... he'd already been shot once, why not a couple of more times?

"So you think that Doctor Cecilia was involved? She has a witness because she was here doctoring my leg." he told him in a calm, even voice.

***

Michael sighed as he just held onto Harper. "I was going to. Ask for transfer papers but... it's kind of hard when you ask me not to, Harper. I want to prove a point. If Ce wants a cold merciless killer that won't break, that's what she'll get, but I need to get away to pull myself together before I do so. But... I just might do it here since you're here." he buried his face into her hair as he shook slightly. Of all the things Ce asked of him, what she wanted from him, he always obliged. He normally faired well against her tests, but it was like she kept wanting more.

"No matter how much I continue to prove myself, it's still not good enough for her, Harp." he murmured into her hair quietly.

“Wynne I…I just can’t help it. You had Brennan, I had no one. My folks were taken out long before the plague hit. I had to grow up, and fast. Even when I was with Harper I wasn’t…I was out at all hours racing and working 2 jobs during the day to try to make ends meet and keep her under my care.” Jolie sighed with a small shrug.

***

“Oh I’m sure she was just doctoring your leg…” He scoffed, looking over at Ce as she stood; her gun point straight at his heart.

“Get. Out. I don’t know who took out that slime ball but it sure as hell wasn’t me. What the hell would I have to gain? If I wanted to get at you, I’d kill you.”

Without warning, Sean turned around and whacked her, upside the head with the butt of his gun, knocking her to the floor as his lackeys kept up on Brennan. She wiped the blood coming from her swelling lip, glaring into the barrel of his gun. “Consider that a warning, doc. I find out you were in anyway involved, you’ll be receiving a nice shiny bullet to your head.”

They walked out then, Ce’s face turning a bit pale as she heard her precious bike get knocked over and down the slight slope of the driveway. She shook her head and stood, spitting blood into the sink. “Lovely…”

***

Harper paled a little at the sound of him leaving, wrapping her delicate arms around his neck as she felt him shake. “She’s just a hard-ass…so is Brennan which is probably why they get along so well….” She joked weakly, “They look for perfection, try and prepare you for the worst of the worst. You know she loves you…you can’t deny that, Michael…” she added. “Its not that she wants a soulless killer…she just knows hesitation can make or break a situation. I’m not agreeing with what she did, I just know where she’s coming from.”

((Gah! The duckie is distracting. lol))

Wynne sighed as he pulled his hand through his hair before looking at Jolie and trying to be calm about this. "So... you're saying that since I wasn't the one bearing the burden, I'm wrong?" Wynne asked her as he raised his eyebrow. He wasn't mad, just curious. "I never had a father Jolie, Brennan had to step up into that role. Well... wait, I had a drunken bastard the first five years of my life until we moved out. I never saw my mother because she was out working herself to death so we could keep the shitty apartment that the four of us lived in. It helped a lot when Brennan got enrolled into the military and he sent all of his paychecks home. Hell, things even improved a lot. But I still don't get what you're saying, Jolie."

***

Outwardly, Brennan didn't flinch, but inwardly, he wanted to jump up and kill the bastard where he stood. He remained calm until Sean and his lackey's were gone and then he stood up as he hobbled over to pour her a glass of water.

"What a wonderful visit." he supplied as he offered the glass up to her. "Wonder if we'll get anymore today."

***

"But have I ever broken on the field? No I haven't! I'm so sick and tired of the fucking tests!! That's all it ever seems like she does these days. Yes I know we're getting into more dangerous ground each day, but I can handle myself Harper. She doesn't have to go and constantly bash everything I do."

((That took me fivie minutes longer that it should have. *glares at duckie* lol))

Jolie stopped, and looked at him, “And considering I knew none of that before now?” she shook her head. “I was saying Brennan and I had to do the growing up faster. Maybe we naturally had the thicker skin, and you guys need to develop it.” she looked back to him, resting a hand on his chin, “What I'm saying is you won't understand where we're coming from until you're put in that postion.”

***

She took the glass with a soft sigh, rinsing her mouth out, but this time when she spit, part of a tooth clanked into the sink. “Oh I dearly hope so....” she grumbled, wiping the blood off her swelling and cut open cheek. “This is gonna be fun to explain!”

***

Haper took a chance and kissed his forehead lightly, “She's nervous...Sean's been closing in lately and she's stressed out that Jackson and you aren't ready nor are the other new recruits in other bases. She only sent Jolie out because she's been through hell and back....” she blushed deeply, “I overheard some other guys berating her for you and Jackson especially being unsuited for anything aside from long distance and that was supposed to change apparently a few months back. Sometimes being invisible haves its advantages”

"Well... I never really knew about you have a bunch of jobs or your street racing either. I say it's a fair trade." Wynne shrugged. "Who knows, maybe I might eventually or I might not. Point is, I'm tired of arguing about it. To me... this is just a pointless argument. Ok... well not pointless, but it's not one of my most important. It started out stupidly." he explained as he looked at her, and placed his hand over hers.

***

Brennan frowned as he heard the tooth, before taking a rag and cupping her jaw with his hand gently so he could turn and clean her face for her. "Maybe next time we could get a couple of rounds off before he leaves? Knock a few of his own teeth out?" he offered up as he dabbed lightly at her mouth.

***

Mike nodded as he listened, still not quite forgiving Ce yet. "Hey... since when do you eavesdrop on people?" he joked weakly as he sighed and just sat there holding her.

Jolie nodded before resting her head against his chest, “You wanna go back in yet?” she asked him softly, wondering what was going on within the walls of their new home.

***

Ce wanted to pull away from him but something about his touch made her reluctantly stay put as he helped her. She nodded with a sore laugh, “Sounds like a plan to me...” she agreed, “If he ruined my bike he'll be praying for fire and brimstone.....”

***

Harper shrugged, “I was looking for a towel...and I kinda froze.” she admitted, before giving him a hug. “Please don't leave....” she whispered, back to sounding like her old self.

"Yea... you kind of took my cake away from me." Wynne teased her gently as he kissed the top of her head, wrapping his arms around her. Why did he get the feeling that this was not the last time that they would have this argument?

***

Brennan chuckled as he finished, leaning in to kiss the corner of her mouth. "Then I'll just sit back and watch as you proceed to beat the living daylights out of him."

***

Mike felt his plans for asking for the transfer papers crumble as Harper wrapped her arms around in him in a hug. How could he possibly leave her? "I'm not going to leave you, Harper." he murmured as he kissed her forehead.

Jolie smiled a little with a nod, kissing his neck before leading him back into the house, her arm around his waist. She knew it wasn't resolved.....but she'd deal with it another time. The house was quite, unusual for the base but she supposed it was for the better....right?

***

Ce smiled as best she could as he kissed her, shaking her head a little. “You mind grabbing me an aspirin?” she asked, “My tooth hurts like hell..I'm gonna have to get it yanked....”she sighed, “Uh, top left cabinet...”

***

Harper smiled faintly, hugging him tighter, “Thank you....” she said softly. She wanted to go check up on the others but she didn't want to move at the same time. She felt the happiness swelling inside of her chest...he was staying!
