Life Onboard Serenity: To Londinium Part 2 by SameErtia

*Pain said to Ertia, feeling the effects of sleep tugging at him*

Now me on the other hand. I prefer a retirement spent with the person I love, who i'd be sexin' every chance I got.

*Ertia smiled as she put away the device, settled into Pain's arms and said*

Mmmm that sounds a lot more fun.

*Ertia rested her head on Pain's chest, his breathing lulling her to sleep. Pain smiled at the sight of Ertia all naked and in his bed with him before closing his eyes, letting sleep overtake him.*

"As I live and breathe, what's going on here?", Mal says. Inara lowers her hands from JR chest, and JR steps back from Inara. Mal's eyes burn into JR. Neither Inara nor JR had ever seen Mal with this look on his face. Rage, betrayal, all seemed to be seething behind the Captain's eyes. "Either one of you wanna talk before this crew is minus one?", Mal says. Inara says, "Mal, I invited him here. What happened was a mistake and I should not have let it happen." JR says, "Cap'n, I apologize. I take full responsibility. Believe me, it won't happen again." Mal is still looking at JR, walking up to him until he's only a few inches from his face. "So, you apologize to me and not her, huh? There's only one thing to do..." Mal's hand reaches for his pistol. "MAL, NO!'' Inara screams. JR reaches for his Glock. "Cap'n!" But Mal's hand slides past the weapon and goes to the holster's buckle. He unfastens the belt, and the holster slides off his thigh to the floor. "We're gonna decide this like men, you and me," he says to JR. Inara's look on her face goes from horror to curious. "What? YOU are going to fight for ME?", she says. JR is dumbfounded. "Cap'n?? Uh, Cap'n, you're not yourself. C'mon Cap'n, I am NOT gonna fight you! You're, well, you're the CAPTAIN!" Mal says, "All this time, you've been harboring feelings for her. And now, you finally get her alone in her shuttle..." Inara rolls her eyes and says with an exasperated look on her face, "Mal, I thought it was YOUR shuttle!" "Stay out of this Inara," Mal says. "This is between me and him." JR says, "Look, uh, Mal, this was all a mistake. I should not have come here, and I should not have kissed Inara. But if it'll make you happy, you can take a swing at me." JR places his hands behind his back, "Here," he offers his jaw. "Go ahead, I deserve it. But only one swing, and I won't swing back." Suddenly, the rage in Mal's face is gone, but not the betrayal. But replacing the rage is curiosity. "What? I ain't gonna fight a defenseless man!" "Mal, please, let's just calm down," Inara says reaching for Mal's arm, and when she touches him, he relaxes. The tension leaves the air. JR quickly has a look of relief on his face. Inara says, "JR, perhaps you should leave now. I'll talk to Mal now." She says it with her eyes begging JR. "OK, I'll go back to my bunk. Cap'n, again, I'm sorry," and JR turns to leave the shuttle, wiping some beads of sweat from his forehead.

Ertia stretches luxuriously. Her internal clock is still messed up from being ill. She gives Pain's forehead a light kiss, careful not to wake him, and slips from his arms.

She dresses and heads for the galley. Somehow, she's hungry again! Not used to so much excercise, she decides, smiling smugly to herself.

*Pain woke up and stretched his arms. He turned his head, blinking his eyes and took notice that Ertia wasn't there as he got out of his bed. He walked over to his footlocker, running a hand through his hair as he opened it and took out a pair of khaiki colored cargo pants. He slipped them on, buttoning them up, as he pulled out the sink and turned the water on. He splashed some water on his face, ran his wet hands through his hair, and toweled off his face. He walked back to the footlocker, picked out a black tank top, closed the footlocker, and picked up his belt off the floor. He ran his belt through the beltloops, buckling it as he kicked his boots near his bed.

Pain sat down on his bed, put his boots on, tying them as fast as he could, walked over to his weapons locker, opened the door and took out the pair of leg holsters containing his pair of Desert Eagle .44Mag semi auto pistols. He attached them to his legs and his belt, took out their matching mag pouches, attached them to his belt, and closed the locker door. Pain put on his tank top and climbed out of his bunk, closing the door behind him. He entered the galley, slipping his hands around Ertia's waist and said as he kissed her neck*

Mornin' bao bei. Did you have a good night's sleep?

*Ertia smiled and said as Pain continued kissing her neck*

Mornin' Pain. Yes I did thanks to you.

*Pain smiled and said*

You're welcome. So is that lace teddy in my footlocker yours or mine?

"Yeah...although my waist doesn't feel too sturdy. I'll probably split like the revenues of the Alberta oil sands were among the provincial government and the property owners."

At Fly's blank stare, he mutters, "Economics. Sorry."

"Alberta? Never heard of that."

"Oh, I'm not surprised you haven't. There was that business with it seceding from the United Provinces of Canada in WWIII, and the viral outbreak in Edmonton during 2007...Canada's pretty unsung for Earth-That-Was countries."

"How come you know so much history?" Fly asks, leaning coolly against the wall. "Don't seem to be incredibly important, out here and right now."

"Studied it on Zenith." His short, almost brutal tone forces Fly to pursue the subject.

"Zenith...you grew up there. What was it like? Time I was there, nothin' but blood and dust."

"The towns were the worst. No law, bandits raping and looting...it was the sort of place where you had to grow up fast, or get trampled. My sister..." He trails off, eyes wistful and...glistening? He shakes his head, managing a brightly false smile. "Yeah, quite the place, Zenith. Too bad we didn't stop to take in the sights."

"That was where me and XIII grew up, the kind of 'watch my back I'll watch yours' friendship. Like I said before, rough place. Makes your definition of 'Border Moon' tame by comparison."

Where you going babe?

Aww, thanks! And you know, really, I'm pretty damn good for a 30-something!

Ertia watches Pain go with a frown. Man about a horse? Finally, she shrugs it off, "Shepherd, can I take your plate?"

"Mighty kind of you." Book hands her his empty plate and reaches for the tea-pot.

"Interesting history, 13. I forget, sometimes, growing up like I did, that some of us came from such crap planets." Ertia starts washing up as Jayne comes in and heaps food on his plate.

"How long 'till we get to Londinium?" Jayne shoves back a chair and slumps into it without preamble.

"A day or so, Wash said." Kaylee answers. She's grinning an awful lot this morning, even for Kaylee. But still, there's something in her smile that doesn't reach her eyes. Simon is conspicuously absent at breakfast.

"Good." Jayne grunts with his mouthful, "'Cause that thing is getting on my last nerve."

Just then they realize that Dani has followed him into the kitchen, hop-skipping at his heels. "NERVE NERVE LAST NERVE!"

"That thing is getting on all our nerves." Book answers, as Kaylee grins and pats her leg to call it over, handing it a bit of egg from her plate.

"Aw, Shepherd, thought you was supposed to love all god's creatures?" She teases him.

"Animals mutated by man are not God's creatures." Book answers her seriously.

"CREATURE!!!!!!!!" Dani leaps to the table top and snatches Jayne's biscuit. "CREAT CREAT!"

"HEY!" Jayne shoves back his chair, but realizes that he doesn't want his food back after Dani's drooled on it. "I hate that thing. SHUT UP, YOU!"

"SHUT UP, YOU! SHUT UP YOU!" Dani mimics back.

Ertia looks at the burly mercenary squared off with the ugly little animal and chuckles, "I'm actually starting to like it a little!"

You're welcome and I'm sure you are.

*Pain reaches the door to Inara's shuttle as it slides open and Mal comes out. Pain scoots over to let him pass and Mal looks at him and says in a not too friendly voice*

You ain't gonna be kissin' on Inara too are you? Cause I already done told JR he ain't to be doin' that no more.

*Pain is struck dumbfounded and thought to himself*

JR was kissin' Inara? I thought he had a thing for Sybil Harrow? Why would he be kissin' on Inara for?

*Pain blinked and said to Mal*

I don't plan on that sir. 'Sides Ertia's the only woman I plan on kissin'. No I'm hear to ask Inara if'n she knows any places on Londinium that I could take Ertia to.

*Mal was calmed down a little and said to Pain*

Well if'n that's all you're gonna to ask Inara about then it's shiny with me.

*Mal climbs down the stairs and heads for the galley. Pain walks up the stairs and knocks on the side of the shuttle's airlock door. Inara responds*

You can come in Pain I heard you talking with Mal. I'd be more than happy to help you wine and dine Ertia.

*Pain enters Inara's shuttle and takes in the fact that it's the first time he's stepped foot into the Companion's shuttle. She's sitting on her bed and says to him, as he stands inside the doorway*

Now what can I do to help you wow Ertia?

*Pain smiles and says*

I was wonderin' if'n you knew of any good restraunts I could take Ertia to, perhaps even a nice hotel, and maybe a place to buy a suit too?

*Inara smiles and says*

Of course I know some places on Londinium Pain, I am a Companion after all. I'll see what I can find for you. Have a seat Pain and I'll see what I can do.

*Pain sits down and says as Inara sits at her vidscreen and says some commands*

I'd appreciate it Inara.

*Inara takes out a pieces of paper and writes some stuff down. She gets up, walks towards Pain and gives him the paper. She says to him*

That's the addresses to some of the places I know. The first on is a tailor's shop that makes some of the finest suits in the Core. Tell them I sent you and you'll be taken care of. The second and third ones are the Chez Londinium, a fine restraunt with a spectacular view of New London and the New London Hotel. I've made reservations for the two of you at both places.

*Pain is suprised at Inara's generosity but manages to say*

Um thanks Inara. I'd kiss you but I wouldn't want the Captain to have another hissy fit.

*Inara chuckled and said*

It's quite alright Pain. He has certain issues that he needs to work out.

*Pain tucks the piece of paper into a pocket, got up and said*

Well I'm sure he does and thanks for everything. I don't know how to repay you.

*Inara placed a hand on Pain's shoulder and said*

It's ok Pain you don't have to.

*Pain smiled and left her shuttle. His plans for Ertia once they landed in New London were in place. He smiled again and headed back to the galley.*

SHIPSCAT

(OOC - sorry for me vanishing like -well- a cat. I seem to have the worst ever luck with the site atm. Oh, and Ertia? This kitty Wang Chung'd tonite in college....

)

The grey tabby saunters into the galley, and hops up on the table with her usual non-chalance. But as she notices the mutant creature slobbering over Jayne's food, the cat bristles up to twice her unimposing size, arches her back and hisses furiously. With barely a glance at the people she thought of as HER crew, the cat leaps off the table and races away in the direction of the engine room.

13's strange pet tries to mimic the departed cat's angry hiss, but it comes out sounding more like a taunting raspberry....

Before going to his bunk, JR goes to the galley and looks for a bottle of mead. He notices the crew eating, and also notices Pain heading towards Inara's shuttle, with Mal there too. "Pain" he thinks to himself, "watch yourself."
The crew was eating something, but he didn't have an appetite for food. He finally finds the bottle and reaches for a glass. "Glass? I don't need no stinkin' glass." He grabs the bottle, going over the events that had just transpired. "What the hell was I thinking? Hell, I wasn't even thinking, I just took her. I've done some stupid things before but this," his thoughts are racing thru his mind.
When he reaches his bed, he sits down and takes a huge swig of the drink. He removes the spider harness for his twin-gun shoulder holster from his back, places it on the chair next to him and lies down with the bottle by his side. "Gorrammit, what was I thinking? I'll never be able to face the captain again, and Inara, sh*t. Wouldn't doubt if Mal just decides to leave me on Londinium. Well, with Sybil there, might not be a bad idea....oh sh*t, Sybil."
He takes another huge gulp. With no food in his stomach, the mead quickly starts to give him a buzz. "Well, she didn't exactly tell me stop, did she," he tells himself.
In another hour, the bottle is half-finished, and so is JR. "Ain't gonna leave my bunk till we land, then, ahhh, maybe I'll...ummm, *hiccup*, sneak outta here, off this, ummm *hiccup* boat, not bother these f-f-olks no more," *hiccup*."

Everyone dies alone.

(OoC: 'Literary supremacy?' Hell, woman, you're better with words than I'll ever be. I can't even work a damn apostrophe!)

Sitting in somewhat awkward noise in the galley, 13's hand slowly reaches for a salt-shaker, stopping as Fly walks in, twisting past the other crew members.

"Everybody's got somebody," she sighs, dropping into a chair beside 13 and busting open a bottle. "I mean, JR and that...woman...Cap'n and Serenity, Wash and Zoe, Wolf and Kaylee, Ertia and Pain, Guy and his .45...what about you? Curious to know if the 'unfelt and unsung' was anythin' but alone."

Her tone is light and thinly casual, but 13 is somehow hurt by the last sentence. It is a small pain, like a papercut or a sliver, but lodges in the back of his mind, a blister.

"There was never time for anything but keeping the advantage, life I was in. Zenith, then HC...nobody but myself to keep me company. Not that I...umm...yeah, I'll be in my bunk a little too often...but not...you know?"

"Yeah," she says glumly. "I know. I just feel like...maybe we're supposed to be alone. Pain was the longest, but...nothing like that had ever come before or after."

"It's not as if you have a wide choice. You do live on a ship."

Swigging from the bottle, Fly continues.

"And then you jus' pop outof that crate, aiming to please and eat all our food. Somehow, that weird lovebot (Fran?) gessonboard, and BANG!" She slams her palm against the table, startling the formerly unshakable 13. "You're dead, spare bunk's blown to hell, and I'm popping pills. Then we get caught up in this whirlwind of robots, Zenith, and dead friends, all boiling down to that duel. And now." Her eyes set into his, and 13 squirms uncomfortably.

"Jus...doan seem right, being 'lone, when there's somebody fer ya right...here." Her head softly comes down to rest on the table, an easy snoring going through the galley.

13 notices the empty bottle in her hand, and the two lying next to it.

(OoC: What time is it overseas, English? Jes' wonderin..)

Sighing heavily as he realizes Fly isn't about to get up any time soon, he easily picks her up (gently, though. no de-braining strength for awhile now!), carrying her to her bunk.

On the way there, he passes Wolf heading to the bridge. The infringing pilot double-takes as he sees 13 carrying an unconscious body, and his left eyebrow almost disappears into his hair.

"Ummm...hey, 13. What are you doing?"

"Just taking her to her bunk."

"And?"

"What?"

Wolf flashes a roguish smile, eyes twinkling.

"Don't think I can't see it, 13. We're all feeling something here, on this ship. Maybe you two'll tap into it."

"For one thing, Wolf, she's unconscious, so what you're suggesting would mean tha-"

"I'm not unconscious," Fly whispers, staring up into 13's face. "Feel fine. Why am I in your arms?"

13 looks to Wolf all panic-like, to see the pilot leave, followed by Kaylee.

"You passed out, and I was carrying you, and then Wolf started saying something, and.." He shakes his head. "Just, don't ask questions, and let me have this."

"Have wha-" Fly is interrupted by a longing, soft kiss of release.

EDITED TO ADD: Wash nearly flees from the bridge as Kaylee and Wolf enter, eager to escape that little dose of discomfort.

As he exits the bridge (shutting the door behind he sighs as he see's the anroid kiss Fly, thinking: This is why we have bunks. Pain and Ertia are loud, but at least they try to keep themselves private as possible.

(11:15, good buddy. In the morning, and ma partay's still jumpin, cuz ma moms aint ho-home..erm, sorry.)

"Every damn time I do something important, we have to go to a station! And every station I got to, I get stabbed or shot!"

2 HOURS EARLIER...

They break the kiss softly, and Fly's gaze bores into 13's.

"Get some sleep," he repeats, taking her to her bunk, laying her softly on the bed.

As he turns to leave, she whispers, "Just stay with me."

"Alright."

(Think everyone else is at work or school, English. Let's see if we can't sort out this 'backwater business' before they get back?)

Hey I'm here. I'm just preoccupied.

*Pain and Ertia were in his bunk (Now there's a suprise) cuddling with each other for the past two hours, oblivious to what was happening outside of his bunk. Pain ran his fingers through her hair and said*

Well I reckon I should tell you my plans for when we reach Londinium.

*Ertia responds in mock suprise*

You have plans! I didn't know YOU had plans.

*Pain chuckled, shook his head and said*

You are such a tease sometimes. Yes I have plans that involve both of us eating at a nice Core restraunt and spending two days in a nice Core hotel suite. All taken care of with some help from Inara. So what do you think of them plans bao bei?
