Fly, JR, Ertia come back the site is up and running.

In Fly's bunk

*Fly applied some more of the synthetic flesh onto 13's arm. She sighed and said*

So the dogs in the scrapyard did this huh?

*13 nods, the servos in his neck whirring as he did so. He looked at Fly and said*

You're not mad are you?

*Fly smiles and says as she applies the skin on his other arm*

No I'm not. There that should do it.

*13 looked at his arms, looked at Fly and said*

Thank you Fly I don't know how to repay you.

*Fly got up, smiled and said*

That's alright you don't have to repay me for anything. Just try not to play with anymore scrapyard dogs ok.

*13 smiled showing perfectly white coated metal teeth and said*

I'll try not to Fly.

*Wash's voice boomed over the P.A.*

Docking with the Genghis's left cargo bay airlock in ten minutes fellow travellers.

*Fly looked at 13 and said*

Let's go to the cargo bay and wait for the Genghis to dock.

*13 shrugged and replied*

Sure thing Fly.

*The two of them left Fly's bunk and headed down the stairs to the cargo bay. Fly wondered if Pain was alright and if he knew Ertia had disappeared.*

Meanwhile in the infirmary on the Genghis

*Dr. Tanner left the infirmary to get something to eat. Pain was still sitting in the chair in the corner when Dr. Chee/Ertia woke up. She turned her head towards Pain, blinked and said*

Pain is that you?

I'm IN! I'm IN! Now... will it let me post?

Ertia blinks, tired, but focuses on Pain's face, "Pain?"

"That's my name." He answers coolly.

"You're here? Zoe? Is Zoe still here?"

Now Pain pushes back a little, staring at her, "How the hell you know that, Dr. Chee, is it?"

Ertia blinks again, her brain racing. Oh. Oh gods! "Pain, it's me!"

Rolling away from him she pushes herself to the counter, dragging the IV pole with her. She hunts down a cup, water, and alcohol. Pain and the Doctor just stare at her as she pulls out the colored contacts, loosens and removes the false teeth, and scrubs away the make-up. Turning back, she manages a weak grin, "It's ME!"

"Ertia?" Pain still looks disbelieving.

Ertia glances at the doc, then back at Pain. "Want me to show you my tattoo?"

Now the Doctor holds up both hands. "I don't know what your story is, miss, but I don't think we need to see..."

"It's a kitten, on her inner thigh. A pink one." Pain answers, and Ertia smiles in relief.

"You gave me a hell of a scare." He still looks like he can't believe she's here.

Reaching into her shirt, she hands him the plate, "You gotta get this to Serenity. I can do the changeover from here. Just need my bag..."

"You left for this?" Pain holds the magnetic registration plate in his hand, "You went down to the Boros Pitts on your own?"

Now he's pissed? She sits down again, untangling the IV lines with slightly shakey hands. "Yah. And got myself irradiated. Won't happen again."

Suddenly, she's swept into strong arms, pressed against his chest.

"Don't do that again. Ever." His voice is rough against her ear and she burrows against him.

When he lets her go, she looks up into his face, noticing for the first time the bruises, "Uh, Babe? What happened to your face?"

eh, it's chunky. I'm tired. More tomorrow if I can get in!

Ok then Ertia. I hope this site let's me post this.

*Pain looks into her eyes, smiles then winces a little. He says to her*

It was nothin' really. Jayne didn't like it when I broke his nose so me and him fought it out in the cargo bay.

*Ertia tilted her head a little and said*

Now why'd you two go and do something like that?

*Pain says to her as he brushes some hair from her face*

'Cause per-maybe-haps I was angry that you left and Jayne's nose looked like a good thing to hit at the time. Lookin' back I wasn't proud of it. Well maybe a little.

*Serenity shudders as the Genghis extends its left side cargo bay airlock seal and seals itself around Serenity's cargo bay door. Wash's voice pipes in over the P.A.*

Attention folks we've just docked with the Genghis.

*Mal's voice came over the P.A. and said*

Will every able body please meet in the cargo bay.

We're INSIDE the Ghengis bay now, right? and my borrowed cruiser is still tethered-on?

Ertia shakes off Pain's concerned hand as she enters Serenity's cargo bay. She was still tired and shakey, and her was bandaged where the IV lines had been. But there was no way she was going to stay in a strange infirmary. Not when Serenity was here.

She stands straight and walks to where Mal is in conversation with Zoe. He glances up, paused, and then says, "You got something to say?"

"Yessir." She meets his gaze steadily, hiding her trembling hands behind her back. "You got every right to throw me off your ship."

He didn't speak, just nodded, but she could Zoe's eyes narrow a little bit.

"Sir, I did the right thing." Before he can argue, she holds up her hand, "I didn't do it the right way. I can see that. I screwed up."

"Yes, you did." He answers just as steadily, but she rushes on before he could continue.

"I haven't had a home in a long time, not one that wasn't a cement cube. Haven't had a family or friends in a long time either." She takes a deep breath, and forces the words out before she chickens out. "I knew what had to be done. And I knew you'd tell me that we'd find a way around, or to take someone with me."

Mal nods, and Ertia senses the rest of the bay has fallen silent, people drifting closer to hear her words.

"I wasn't going to do that, sir. Wasn't going to place my family at risk for my own shortcomings.
I got the reg-code. You don't have to worry any more. As far as the Alliance is concerned, we're The Whedon, and Serenity is just an old wreck in the Pitts. We'll rereg in person at Station 45, then I can change our registry information back to Serenity."

"And then, Sir, " She hesitates, feeling Fly step to her right side, and 13 come up behind her, "Then I'll get the hell off your ship, if that's what you want. But I won't let Serenity suffer for my mistakes, or my shortcomings."

"I'm the Captain. You follow my orders?" Mal phrases it as a question, but she knows it isn't.

"Yessir."

"Then I order you to keep your pigu on my ship and do your damn job." Mal flings up an arm in dismissal as he turns away from her. To anyone who didn't know him well, he would have sounded angry. To his crew, his family, they knew it was pride, mingled with emotion. His words carry back, "Where the hell else am I gonna find another forger out here?"

A small cheer went up around her, and Ertia grins, blinking back tears as the feeling of support washes over her. It is Simon who interrupts her celebration. "Into the Infirmary with you. Your immune system will be weak for at least 24 hours and you need to be monitored."

"Awww, doc, can't DrPain monitor me?" She asks, tilting her head pleadingly.

I didn't know how much I loved and relied on this place until I was without it! GAH! I miss you all so much!

Yes Ertia's borrowed vehicle is still attached to the Genghis. It'll probably be abandoned or sold.

*Pain grins at Simon and says*

Yeah can I monitor Ertia?

*Simon says a little annoyed*

I'm sorry Pain but you're kind of "monitoring" might kill her. Her immune system is weak from the radiation poisoning. She won't be up for any of your "activities" for another day.

*Pain frowns at Ertia then says to Simon*

But after that I can administer to Ertia my own prescribtion for healin'?

*Simon rolls his eyes and says as Ertia eyes light up at what Pain said*

Yes Pain after the 24 hours are up you two can go have your fun. Now if you will excuse me I have a patient to attend to. Ertia?

*Ertia sighs and says*

Oh alright Simon if you insist.

*Pain watches them head to the infirmary. Ertia turns her head toward Pain and gives him a wink. Pain grins as Simon and Ertia enter Serenity's infirmary. Pain remembers the plate that Ertia gave him, walked up to Mal and said*

Sir Ertia wanted me to give you somethin'.

*Mal cocked an eyebrow and said*

Well what is it Pain?

*Pain lifts up his shirt and pulls out the registration plate that Ertia gave him while she was in the Genghis's infirmary. Pain handed it over to Mal and said*

It's the reg plate from the Whedon. I suppose you'll have someone go outside and attach it to Serenity?

*Mal looked over the plate and said*

Well I reckon I will have one of the crew do that. Say what about the money your uncle promised us for gettin' his goods?

*Pain expected something like that from the Captain and gladly pulled out an envelope from his back pocket. He gave it to Mal and said*

It's all there, 18,000 Creds just like my uncle said he'd pay. Now if'n you'll excuse me I have to take a shower cause I'm smellin' worse than a pair of Jayne's underwear.

*Everyone in earshot groaned as Pain walked of to the shower room. Wash wrinkled up his nose and said*

That was a disturbing image Pain put into my head.

*Zoe smiled and said to Wash*

Well I think I know a way to get that image out of your head.

Yeah I miss this site and everyone too, especially you and Fly.

*Pain stepped out of his bunk and walked into the galley. He smelled food cooking and reconized it as JR's doing. Everybody who wasn't sleeping or busy (

) was at the table enjoying their food. Pain grabbed a tray, set two bowls and glasses on it, scooped up some utensils, and said to JR as he held the tray*

Give me two platefuls of your famous cookin'.

*JR raises an eyebrow and says to Pain as he scoops some gumbo into Pain's bowls*

Wow Pain I didn't think you were that hungry.

*Pain gives JR a sarcastic grin and says*

Ha ha. No I thought I'd bring Ertia some food since she's bein' confined to the infirmary for a day.

*JR says as he finishes filling up the second bowl*

So that means you two won't be goin' at it for a while huh?

*Pain rolls his eyes and says as he pours some cider into the glasses*

You're just jealous you ain't gettin' any.

*Before JR could respond Pain took the tray and walked out of the galley to the infirmary. He nods to Fly as he heads down the stairs. Pain smiles as he sees Ertia and says*

Thought I'd be nice and grab you some food from the galley.

*Pain looks over at Simon and says*

Is it ok to give her some of JR's cookin'?

*Simon lifts his gaze at a chart, eyes the bowls of steaming food and says*

I don't see why not.

*Ertia says to Pain as she sits up*

Thank you Pain. What did JR cook this time anyway?

*Pain smiled and said as he handed her a bowl and utensils*

It's JR's famous gumbo.

*Ertia looks at Simon then at Pain and says to Simon*

Is it ok if Pain stays and eats with me? I promise nothing will happen.

*Simon sighs and says*

As long as you two don't do anything phsyical with each other I don't see why not.

*Simon leaves the infirmary to get some food. Ertia gives Pain a look, Pain grins and says*

Hey I have to follow the doc's orders. Don't want to be responisble for causin' you any harm in your condition. 'Sides we've got all day tomorrow to be "together". I'm sure we can wait.

*Ertia sighs as she digs into the gumbo and takes a bite. She looks at Pain as he eats his gumbo and thinks to herself*

Why's the doc always gotta ruin me and Pain's fun?

HOME! Glorious HOME!

The gumbo is fabulous!
Ertia hadn't realized how hungry she was. Intravenous protien
solution was all well and good, but it didn't refill an empty stomach!

"So, noticed you busted Jayne's nose." Ertia gives Pain a sly smile.

"Like I said, ain't proud of it. Just lost my temper. Jayne was
convenient." Pain takes another bite of his gumbo. "I'll apologize
when I'm certain he's not still mad enough to break my arm."

"Londinium." Ertia sighs, setting aside her bowl and lying
back. "Cannot wait to get some shore leave. Oh, crud! The ship I
rented!"

"The ship Dr. Chee rented ya mean?" Pain asks with a raised
eyebrow. "Uncle will see to it."

"Can you ask him to make it look like Chee disappeared? It's
dangerous for a med-researcher out here, but she's a great alias.
Spent alot of time on her."

"Why'd she have to be blond? You don't look good blond."

Now Ertia laughs tiredly, "How many good looking medicad field
researchers do you know?"

So? We ready for a new thread, and to start heading for Londinium?

Exactly.

*Pain smiles and continues to eat his gumbo. He thinks about what him and Ertia could be doing once they were on Londinium.*
