Life Onboard Serenity: #43 – Moving Back As You’re Moving On by GraysonCornwell

"It should be simple enough," John said to Mal when he found him in the cargo bay, "we get the cargo, we deliver it. My brother isn't one to attempt to trick us into a unmanagable cargo or drop-off."

"Then why can't I shake the feeling that there's some catch?"

"Because you're smart. What my brother considers dangerous is slanted. What he may consider status quo is probably quite difficult. He'll pay though, and I know he's in a position to pay well."

"Ok, find River and tell her to start heading out as soon as Grayson is off the ship. Is there any chance we could sell the cargo we're carrying to your brother as well?"

"Doubt it."

"Well thats mighty unfortunate."

John nodded to the captain and began to look for River.

It had been a couple of days since he had arrived and he was giving Pain and Ivy some needed alone time in the infirmary. Pain was growing on him, mainly because he was ready to defend her and she seemed so happy around him. It almost reminded him of Ivy before she was taken.

He went up to the galley and got a drink then sat down at the table. He looked up to see Simon sitting on the couch in the common area. He got up and went a sat down near him. Simon looked up from his book for a second, made notice of Grayson then went back to his book.

Grayson slid a little closer.

"I haven't had the chance to thank you for saving Ivy's life...Dr. Simon Tam," Grayson whispered and Simon noticeably stiffened. "I'm a lawman. I've seen your bulletins posted every few weeks.

"Have you and your sister been here the entire time?"

Infirmary

Pain sat next to Ivy, his hand holding hers as his thumb traced small, gentle circles across the top of it. She was awake and both of them were busy smiling and staring into each others' eyes. He let go of her hand, letting her take him by the back of the head and pull him close to her. Their lips met in a nice, slow, passionate kiss, which went on for a few minutes before their lips separated, but remaining close by.

"I love you." she told him as she kissed him again.

"I love you more." he replied back, touching her forehead with his.

She let out a small giggle and kissed him once more before saying, "I love you more."

Pain growled as he kissed her, a hand running through her hair as he rose slightly, before coming to rest at the base of her skull. He had her in a passionate lip lock, their tongues probing each others' mouth. His hand traveled from the base of her skull, up the side of her neck and came to rest on her cheek.

Breaking the kiss off, Pain asked in a low, longing tone, his breath rasping, "How long did the doc say you had to be held up in here?"

"I do believe he wants me to get up and walk some today," Ivy told him.

"Walking?" Pain asked. "Isn't that kinda soon?"

"Nah. I've actually been up a couple times already. Just haven't had the nerve to go outside the infirmary quite yet," she told him. She swung her feet over to the side of the bed and sat up gingerly. She tugged at the bottom of the T-Shirt Pain had brought her a couple of days ago. "Again, bao bei, thanks for bringing me one of your t-shirts."

"Can't have you running around nekkid could we? Jayne'd be down here camped out just hoping the sheet would fall off if I didn't."

Ivy slid closer to the edge and grabbed Pain's arm as she came to rest on the floor. Pain looked at her with concern written all over his face.

"I'm OK," she reassured him.

Pain gently wrapped his arm around her back and then held her hand gently as he supported her in their walk.

"Where'd you like to go?" he asked as his mind wandered to how good she felt in his arms.

"To see my plants," she said. Pain and Ivy walked to her old dorm and slid the door open. The place was as neat as a pin and the plants were meticulously cared for. "River's done a good job."

"She has," Pain agreed.

Ivy looked around at some of the plants closest to her.

"Some of these need picked and used before they rot on the plant and stifle the growing process," she said as she looked around slowly. "Like the basil and rosemary. And the Mandarin Granges (they were mentioned before - orange colored grapes looking things that tasted like oranges). And these cherry tomatoes."

She pulled off a couple of the Granges and tomatoes. She popped one in her mouth and gave one to Pain.

"Mmmmm..." he said as he ate it up.

"Can you sit down in that chair there?" Ivy asked him. "I need to do something."

"Sure," Pain said as he plopped himself down and ate a couple more of the fruit she gave him.

She finished up what she had then pulled the door shut behind her.

"What do you need Ivy?" Pain asked her, slightly confused on why she closed the door. "Can I help you?"

"Yes, you can," she said as she slowly sat down in his lap, straddling his legs. "Just support my back a little... and kiss me."

Pain's arms wrapped gently around her as their lips touched. She ran her fingers through his short hair as they kissed. As they kissed more passionately, a fire that had not been quenched for days suddenly flared searing hot.

In Ivy's Plant Room (aka Her Old Room)

Select to view spoiler:

Pain's hands found themselves gliding and snaking their way underneath the shirt Ivy had on, raising it a little as they gently caressed her sides before moving upwards. Ivy moaned as she felt his hands fondle and touch her breasts. Even though she was somewhat self-conscious about the scarring in the area of his hands, she missed his touch and responded by kissing him more fervently, her tongue dancing wildly with his, while her hips ground into his.

Pain's mouth left hers' and started to kiss slowly down her neck. Ivy's mouth dropped open and let out a moan that carried Pain's name as she closed her eyes. Tilting her head back gave Pain access to her throat, which he quickly took advantage of.

"Oh, Pain." she murmured, as she felt Pain's lips against her throat, his tongue flicking against her skin, tasting her body's saltiness. "Oh yes."

She was so taken in by what Pain was doing, that she didn't care that he was in the process of pulling her shirt the rest of the way off. In fact she helped with that by tossing it on the ground beside him and embracing his mouth with hers' while her hands worked to take his shirt off. Once it joined hers' on the ground, Ivy pressed herself against Pain, her mouth joining his once more.

One of Pain's hands slid between her legs and she squirmed as she felt what he was doing down there. Ivy let out a loud moan and rocked back and forth against his movements. She was enjoying herself rather well and enjoying being with Pain in an equal fashion. It pained her that she had to do what she had to, but she was starting to feel uncomfortable as he almost brought her to her full.

"Pain?" she half pleaded and half moaned, as he continued to stimulate her while burying his face in her neck.

When he didn't respond or cease his actions, she pushed herself away from him, keeping him at arms length. That got his attention pretty quick and caused him to stop what he was doing.

"What is it, baobei?" he asked with a confused look on his face. "I thought you were enjoyin' our fun."

"I.." she replied, wincing a little. "I was, but all this fun is putting a strain on me and it's starting to hurt. I'm not quite one hundred percent you know."

Pain sighed and let his hands fall down to her hips where they rested. He looked up at her and said, "I know, baobei, and I should of slowed it down some, but gorramn girl I missed you so much."

"I know, baobei. I know." she replied back, her hands resting on his shoulders.

"So what should we do now?" he asked, looking into Ivy's magnificent green eyes.

Caution below... PGish stuff

Select to view spoiler:

Dear Lord, she missed him. All it took was his touch and his kiss to drive her wild. His hands on her body, caressing her sides, removing her shirt, fondling her breasts. Then his lips on hers lips, then on her neck, licking her throat. It felt so right, so very right.

Then she had his shirt off, touching his chest, feeling his skin. following the edge of each muscle like a blind person following braille.

It was wonderful.

She didn't think she could stand more until his hands slipped down between her legs. She moaned loudly, knowing that anyone who could have been walking by would've known right away exactly what they were doing. She let her body respond naturally, writhing a bit and rocking in cadence to his touch.

It all felt so good, until... Until she felt a tugging in her chest, a reminder that she was just recently injured. She tried to ignore it, but that tug soon began to burn.

Not now, she thought as she climbed faster towards orgasm. Please, not now.

But it was not meant to be. It was uncomfortable enough that she needed to stop. She didn't want to stop, he was making her feel incredible again, but she had to.

"Pain?" she asked. She was trying to ask him to stop, but the words wouldn't form in her brain, nor her mouth.

As he continued, a shudder of pleasure passed through her body and it only made her wounds hurt more. She was caught up, caught up in a limbo filled her with both longing and pleasure, while at the same time the pain was climbing. So as much as she didn't want to, she had to pull away. Pushing back from him, she held him at arm's length. He was disappointed, but he understood and he was patient. He'd wait for her.

"So what do we do now?" he asked as he looked into her eyes.

Lord she wanted him so badly, but she'd settle for being close to him. She got up, grabbed her shirt, slid the door open ever so slightly and looked out. No one was coming, so she grabbed his hand and led him across the hall to one of the larger passenger dorms. It was empty and the bed just looked so inviting. She tossed her shirt on the end of the bed and gingerly slid in.

"Just hold me," she asked, reaching out to him to join her.

Smiling, Pain shucked off the rest of his clothes and slid in next to her, pulling her close to him. He turned on his side and kissed her. Then he traced each of the slight scars left over from her injuries. She batted his hand away.

"They're not pretty," she said softly. "None of them are."

The last part included the ones that were on her back.

"Don't you worry none, you are beautiful," he reassured her. "But will you ever tell me how those ones on your back came to be?"

Then she was reminded of the fact that he knew. He knew what she was. A slave.

"No," she answered softly as she closed her eyes. "I have moved on and forward. I don't want to go back there."

Pain kissed her softly, letting his tongue slide across hers.

"Well, I'll be here if'n you ever want to talk," he told her as his hand traced the curves of her body.

Select to view spoiler:

She exhaled softly, so wanting him to continue. Her hand traced his stomach muscles and couldn't help but follow them down until she took him in her hand and carressed him longingly.

"Gorram it!" she whispered as her lips sought out his. "You feel SO good."

Empty Passenger Dorm

Pain let out a low growl inside Ivy's mouth in response to her caressing of him. He didn't want to cause her pain again, but good gorram she was making him feel good enough, that he needed and wanted her right now. He was sure if they went at it slowly, she wouldn't feel any bothersome pain.

As she continued to stroke him while they kissed, he gently set her on her back and positioned himself on top of her, carefully enough so that he would crush her from his weight. She let go of his member and moaned as she felt him slide himself inside of her, moving very slowly as his lips found hers' and his tongue danced within her mouth.

"I missed you so much, baobei." he whispered to her between kisses and slow thrusts. His mouth moved down her neck and across her right collarbone. "If'n you feel any pain from this, say the word and I'll stop, but if'n I do it slow enough and I'm hopin' I am, then you'll be feelin' nothin' but bliss."

Warning: PG-13++++ below...

Select to view spoiler:

Ivy hadn't planned on things going where they had when she invited Pain to lay down and hold her, but he was there and she just couldn't keep her hands off him.

She knew she only exacerbated the whole thing by allowing herself to tease him with some soft touches, but she couldn't help herself. She had missed him; missed him lying next to her and missed him making love to her. She had planned on just getting some relief by having him lay next to her and letting him hold her, but things didn't always go to plan.

Not that she was complaining any.

She had touched his manhood and he had responded to it by repositioning himself and sliding into her.

She expected it to hurt, but he was keeping almost all of his weight off her body. He just felt... GOOD. Then he mentioned bliss and that just made her want him more.

He was being so gentle, moving inside her at a snail's pace. Long, slow strokes that released her own desperate need for him.

She moaned as he thrusted ever so slowly, her hands moving to grip his shoulders.

"Are you OK, bao bei?" he asked with concern. "Am I hurting you? I can stop-"

"Don't. You. Dare," she managed to ground out as his work made her body start to come alive again.

With every movement he made, she wanted to wrap her legs around him and beg him to go faster, but she knew if she did, it would only end with her having to stop. So she just relaxed and let him take the lead.

Even with going at a snail's pace, Pain knew how her body worked. Like a psychic, he somehow knew when a long stroke or a short thrust was needed.

She moaned loudly, probably too loud, but she didn't care. She gripped his shoulders with her hands and raised her knees up along side his hips.

"You... OK?" Pain rasped as his eyes closed and a slight shudder went through his body.

"Oh, yes!" Ivy moaned as she gripped his shoulders harder. "God! You feel so good."

It wasn't much longer before both of them were in the throes of ecstasy. waves of pleasure crashing around, over and through them. Ivy knew she was calling his name, again probably a little too loud, but at the time, she didn't really care.

Somewhere in the back of her mind she heard something else. An alarm. Was there an alarm?

The Hell with alarms, she thought as she dedicated herself to riding out the rest of the moment she was having with Pain.

"I love you Pain..."

As their lips departed, Pain saw that she had already fallen asleep. He smiled and laid her head down gently on the pillow. He gave her a kiss on the forehead and got out of bed. The alarm going off was distracting him from having cuddle time with Ivy, so he got dressed and he decided to see what was going on.

He had just finished putting on his pants and boots when he slid the door of the passenger dorm open and closed it behind him. As he headed up the stairs near the infirmary, he had his shirt halfway on. By the time he rounded the corner and entered the galley, Pain had his shirt completely down and was adjusting it as he passed Grayson. The alarm was still going about it's business of being annoying.

Looking up he saw Zoe and River on the bridge with the captain. He got to the foot of the stairs and asked over the noise, "Hey! What's goin' on? Some fine happy Alliance hun dan needin' to pad his quota? Reavers? Someone sellin' cookies?"

Grayson stopped talking to Simon when he heard Mal's firm announcement calling Zoe and River to the bridge. He had also said that they had something right on top of them. They weren't actually talking per se, more like Grayson letting Simon that he knew who he and River were.

Then Pain came throught the galley on his way up to the bridge. He looked quite... content and was fiddling with his shirt a bit.

Grayson stood up, curious as to what was going on. He turned around to tell Simon that he'd like to continue their discussion a bit later, but found that he had already bolted from the room. Grayson sighed and then followed everyone to the bridge. As he arrived, he felt the ship shudder.

"Can I do anything to help?" he asked, but no one seemed to hear him, so he just leaned against the lockers.

He listened to Mal order Pain to get out the airlock and see what was going on, then River's eerie comment about someone coming home.

Before anyone got a chance to get started, Grayson spoke up again.

"Excuse me!" he said loudly. "My ship is still docked at your lower airlock. It isn't big, but I could take Pain here and do a flyby. Get a looksee as to what is going on? We could go faster than it would take him to suit up."

It would be interesting to see if they would let him help them out.

It took the full diagnostic on 13 several hours to finish up and now, Kaylee was looking at the culprit. A tiny capacitor that was used to store short term energy so that a circuit could be regulated effectively had malfunctioned in the area that housed how 13 dealt with environmental stimuli. Basically it made him a bit irrational when dealing with how he interacted with some folk. Just a tiny little capacitor.

Luckily, it was a relatively common piece, so she removed the defective part and replaced it with a new one. Now was the scary part... Turning him back on. He could either thank her or kill her, especially if she didn't perform the delicate work exactly.

With a shaky hand, she reached over and turned the screwdriver in his back to the "on" mode. And then she waited.

He was just about to leave for his room to pick up one of his rifles, equip it with a case, and then make his way down into the cargo bay to suit up, when he heard Grayson yell. He turned back and saw Grayson leaning against the lockers and wondered how long the older man had been standing there.

As the ship approached, John let out a sigh. Yet another distraction from the job they needed to get to. He grabbed his guns from the table by his bed and went to the cargo bay and took a place in the catwalk within view of the door. If someone hostile came aboard. John would shoot first and ask questions later.

"What's going on?" John was startled by Inara's voice from behind him.

"Someone's trying to board or something," John replied.

"Why are you armed?"

"I just want to be prepared."

"Didn't we agree that you would depend less on violence to solve problems." She had him. Inara had helped him a lot, and that was one of her terms. He cautiously lowered his guns and holstered them. "Good. Now come inside, I need to talk to you and the others can handle this." John followed Inara into her shuttle agreeing that if anything happened he would be paged.

Mal thought for a moment and the nodded.

"Do it," he said.

Grayson and Pain took off towards Grayson's ship. As they went towards it, Grayson looked oover his shoulder towards the infirmary and saw that Ivy wasn't there. His jaw clenched but he kept on. Once in the ship he got got buckled in and called up to Serenity's bridge.

"Just tell me what I might be looking for," he said.

He clicked off the comm and turned to Pain, who was strapped in next to him.

"I know you had sex with her earlier," Grayson said in a low voice as he initiated the sequence to release the air lock from the cargo bay. "I knew as soon as you came upstairs fiddling with your shirt with an all too happy look on your face."

Pain looked down at his lap, knowing that he had been found out.

"I've been a lawman for near 20 years," Grayson said coolly as they detached. "Need I remind you that she was injured gravely not too long ago and if you hurt her. I will kill you?"

Grayson looked Pain full in the face with a most serious look.

"Got it?" he asked.

Do you really want that, Grayson? Do you really want to send her down that path and make her trust in you wither even more? Do you really want to piss away the fatherly relationship you have with her by killin' the man who loves her even with her faults? Cause that's what'll surely happen if'n you're yu ben de enough to go through with that little threat of yours'."

Pain gave Grayson a smile and added, "Can't imagine my captain would like it either. He don't take too kindly to them that threaten bodily harm to his crew, let alone death. Makes him a tad unfriendly if'n you know what I mean. He'd likely shoot you and then space you. If'n you're lucky, he might even do it in that order. And for the record, the sex was consensual and I made sure to go very slow so as not to cause Ivy any discomfort." He saw the other ship and changed the subject, "There she is. Lets go see who they are and why they're payin' us a visit. Afterwards I'll tell Ivy what you said to me and you two can have a very loud and not very friendly chat."

*As the ship rounded Serenitys hull, they caught sight of the intruding craft, and its owner. Bending over serenitys upper airlock was a medium sized man in a deep green space-suit. He had an oddly shaped shotgun on his back and a large box under one arm. He appeared to be waiting for someone to come out of the hatch.
Grayson flipped on his ships lights and flooded the intruder with white. Startled, the man rolled away from the hatch, no easy thing to do in zero-gee, and rose to one knee with the box in the crook of one arm and his side-arm in the other hand, trained on the unknown assailant. He blinked and shielded his eyes from the brilliant illumination, as his vision adjusted, he slowly lowered his gun in awe at the ship and its occupants, staring right at him.*

"He's armed," Grayson said as he powered up his ship's weapons. "Who do you suppose that is and what do you think he's doing?"

"You have weapons on this ship?" Pain said, looking at the console.

"I am law enforcement with very specific duties," he told Pain. "Sometimes things can go... amiss and the need to defend myself does rear it's ugly head."

Grayson flipped a couple of switches that armed the ship to its fullest extent.

"Mind you that I am not a gun boat or anything, but what limited resources I have has worked for me in the past," Grayson explained. He adjusted his comm. "Well, let's see if a little authority action gets his attention..."

Grayson got a firm tone to his voice and said:

"Attention intruder. This is the Allied Law Enforcement Vessel, Phoenix. Please stand down and identify yourself!"

As they waited for a response, Grayson glanced at Pain.

"Is Toms aware that people could be breaking into your ship?" He clenched his jaw in annoyance. "I don't care what you think, she's not safe here."

Pain was losing favorable points in Grayson's book.

Ivy woke up in the passenger bunk that she and Pain “borrowed” to realize that Pain was gone. She vaguely remembered alarms sounding as they were together earlier. She listened to see if there was anything amiss and heard nothing so she dismissed the thought.

Thinking about their first time back together since she was shot, Ivy smiled. It felt good to be with Pain again. She loved him and craved his touch. They had an extremely physical connection and relationship. She never felt this way towards anyone ever in her life. He was such a big part of her life.

She turned to roll over, but was assaulted with searing pain. She gasped aloud. Her wounds burned with an intensity that she had not felt in a few days. Carefully, she forced herself into a seated position, threw on a T-Shirt of Pain’s that was left there and slowly made her way to the infirmary. Luckily, Simon was there, taking inventory.

“Simon?” she called out to him at the door. “I ain’t feeling too hot.”

He took one look at her and jumped up to help her back to the bed. He ran a diagnostic.

“The wounds haven’t been compromised. You might have just overexerted yourself. Have you been walking a lot?”

“Maybe… a little,” Ivy said quietly.

Simon looked at her intensely, sorting out her body language. He took in what she was wearing too.

“When did you first feel the pain?” he asked.

“I woke up and I could barely move.”

“You didn’t try to stay in your bunk already did you? The ladder would definitely cause you some discomfort.”

“N-No…” she hedged. “I fell asleep in one of the passenger dorms.”

Simon kept scrutinizing her.

“Was Pain with you?”

Ivy hung her head and whispered something, but Simon couldn’t hear her. He chuckled in realization.

“You should take it easy.” he told her as he fetched a mild pain killer for her. Simon helped her lay back on the bed and placed a blanket over her. He administered the drug and looked down at her.

“But I missed him,” she told him.

Simon sighed.

“I’ll give you some more of this analgesic to use if you persist in this… behavior,” Simon told her. “It will make you sleepy, so when you take it, leave yourself enough time to recuperate, OK?”

“Yes, doctor,” she answered.

Simon paused a bit.

“And after you’ve rested, can I ask you a couple of questions regarding Grayson?”

“Of course…” Ivy said softly as her eyes began to droop.

And then she fell asleep. Simon went anxiously back to taking inventory… and thinking back to the conversation he had earlier with Grayson, wondering whether or not he should be afraid of Ivy’s friend.

"Please identify yourself or action will be taken," he said authoritatively.

"I do." replied Pain as he looked out at the person in the spacesuit. He couldn't see Wolf's face through the spacesuit's shielded visor, but he recognized the voice.

"He ran with the crew for a spell before mysteriously disappearin'." commented Pain. He looked over to Grayson and asked, "May I use your comm to speak with him and tell Mal and the gang to stand down?"

"By all means," Grayson said as he motioned towards the comm. "But I'll keep weapons up until he gives a suitable explanation."

Grayson shook his head.

"Wouldn't it have been more useful for him to simply wave if he wanted to come visit?"

"Probably." replied Pain as he took the comm in his hand. "But I'm sure he has his reasons for not doin' so, whatever they may be."

He flipped the comm back on and said to Wolf into it, "Wolfie? That you, buddy? Long time, no see. How come you didn't wave us and let us know that you were comin' for a visit? Would of saved the captain and crew a whole mess of worry if'n you did that instead of showin' up and dockin' unexpectedly."

He waited a beat and then continued, "I suppose you're wonderin' why I'm onboard an Allied law enforcement vessel and why there's a Fed onboard. Well the short version of that would be, he's a friend of my current girlfriend and he's just payin' her a visit. I'd be more than happy to tell you the full version once you tell Mal it's you and we're all back inside Serenity. But first, why don't you give Mr. Lawman here a good explanation of why you're here, so he doesn't blow you away and ask questions later."

*Wolf seemed to consider Pains suggestion*

Wolf "fair point, like as yours my tawdry little tale is best received over a cup of something liquidy that makes your belly warm.
how about we go inside first, i can leave guns an the like on my ship if the lawmans got a problem with 'em?"

*Wolf glanced nervously at the still powered weapons on the Feds ship, his bio-signs on his ship/suit interface were almost at heart-attack levels.
He flicked off the tiny monitor and tried to ignore the hammer pounding at the inside of his rib-cage.*

"Sounds good to me, Wolf." replied Pain into the comm. He clicked it off and turned to Grayson to ask, "How does that sound to you, Grayson? Shiny enough for you?"

"It's acceptable." replied Grayson.

Pain gave the man a short smile before clicking the comm back on and saying to Wolf, "The lawman says it's good with him too. He should be powerin' down his weapons now. See you onboard shortly, Wolfie."

Pain let go of the comm button and looked at Grayson again. The man looked back at him, his facial expression unmoving. Pain cocked an eyebrow and gestured to the control panel.

"Well? You powerin' down weapons or not?" Pain asked.

There was a short moment as Grayson stared back at Pain, before the lawman turned his gaze to the control panel and powered down his ship's weapons. Pain watched as a screen flashed that the fact that they were fully powered down and sat back in his seat.

As Grayson maneuvered his ship to the airlock he had it originally docked to, he said to Pain as he looked out the windscreen, "He better be unarmed like he says he will. I won't tolerate any surprise, you got that?"

"I got it." answered Pain, setting the comm back into its craddle. As he unbuckled himself from the seat he was in and got up, Pain said to Grayson as he started to head to the airlock door, "You don't have to worry about Wolf, Grayson. He won't try to pull anythin' foolish. He's not like that, trust me."

"Yeah," Grayson muttered as he opened the airlock and stepped through. "Cause a guy who decides to sneak onto a ship instead of simply waving you sounds real trusting."

Assuming that Pain was right behind him, Grayson walked with purpose up the catwalk stairs, reaching for his gun, which wasn't there.

"And I have got to get my gun back from that yú wàng Captain," he continued. "I should have picked up a spare weapon from the ship."

He set his jaw and went to look for the area where this Wolf person should be entering.

Wolf finished stowing his weapons and looked around his little ship, there really wsn't much too it, but he'd miss the old girl. They'd been through a lot these past months and he was reticent about leaving her comforting bounds for the uncertain hospitality of Serenity. he took a last look around, picked up his bag, and made his way out of his ship, the INS Individual.

"There's always next time." remarked Pain, giving the lawman a smile as he shot Pain a look.

The Captain spotted the two men and asked Pain, "So have you identified the tick that's decided to hitch itself to Serenity?"

"Yeah." replied Pain. "It's Wolf. After a little talkin' to.." He gave Grayson a look before turning back to Mal and continuing, "we decided to let him come aboard, unarmed mind you, and tell us why he's here and why he didn't wave us."

"Wolfie?" Mal asked, surprised to hear the old crew member's name. "Haven't seen him in ages. Thought he done got himself killed. Well now, I'm guessin' the Wolf has come back to the pack so to speak. Lets go meet up with him and see what all this is about."

The three men went over to the airlock that Wolf's ship was docked to. They were accompanied by Jayne and Zoe. Jayne gave Grayson a sneer, but didn't say anything to the lawman as he saddled up to Pain.

"Thought you might be needin' this." Jayne half whispered, unholstering a gun from behind his back and giving it to Pain. "Didn't reckon the lawman would've let you aboard his ship if'n you were armed. Might be useful if'n ol' Wolfie ain't his ol' self and decides to go crazy."

"Thanks, but I don't think it'll be necessary." replied Pain, sticking the gun in his waistband behind his back.

"Better safe than sorry." Jayne responded as they waited outside the airlock with the others.

to be fair it wouldn't be the first time

The doors slid open and Wolf dropped through the hatch, not bothering with the ladder. He looked up into the barrels of several raised guns.
"Uh, hi cap'n, i think you may have changed your greeting habits since i was here." Wolf said nervously.
"Well, last time you didn't be jumpin' around like that!" Jayne accused Wolf "Get a guy a might jumpy is all."
Wolf smiled at that, he could still put the willies up Jayne, that was a good sign, showed he hadn't lost it all.
Wolf addressed Mal.
"Any chance of a drink?"

Mal nodded as they all went to the galley. Mal got out a bottle of some kind of liquor from one of the lockers.

"Hey! That's mine!" Jayne objected.

Mal gave him a look that told him to shut it.

"Well, Wolf," Mal said as he sat down with some glasses. "I think some story telling is in order, so I would get to it."

"And if I were you, I would make sure it has an abundance of details," Grayson added.

OoC: Hey gang! Sorry for my absence sometimes real life comes at you all at once. I'm still planning on moving forward with the job I have planned, but this current plotline needs to be resolved first. When it is I'd like to make a small time jump to Paquin. Any objections?

John took the tea Inara had just poured and drank a sip. "It's just not fitting anymore."

Inara leaned back in her chair, but retained her grace. To an outside viewer it would look like she was entertaining a client, and maybe she sort of was. "What doesn't fit? Serenity?"

"Yeah, and other things. I just don't feel like I'm moving forward anymore. I hate that."

"You've been standing up for yourself lately. That's a huge step."

"Standing up with guns blazing. Not exactly a step away from violence, don't you think?"

"John, everytime we talk about this I remind you that the fact that you see that as a bad thing is evidence in itself that you aren't that person anymore."

"I know. I do. But then there's Kaylee."

"Does her relationship with Simon bother you?"

"Not exactly, she just doesn't seem to have time for me anymore. I mean I came to this ship to find her, but now I've lost her again. I feel so alone."

"You're not. Even if Kaylee doesn't care anymore, and she does, but even if you have me. You have River."

"Do I? Something is wrong with River. She ain't spoutin crazy so much, and that's great, but she's abusing her skills. She's meddling and it scares me to death. Am i her friend or her pawn."

"I agree that's troubling, but you can help her. You have this gift like her, and you're the only one who can even slightly relate to her. She needs you. The captain trusts you enough to let you bring two strangers onboard."

"That's another thing, Doc. Seeing her again..."

"What is your shared past? Did you fight her before you came here?"

"Once. Mostly, however, she was on my side. She helped me do what I did before I found out who she was."

"And who is she?"

"I still don't know." They heard the airlock hiss as someone boarded the ship. "I should go check it out."

"Yes, you should. Fufilling your duty on the ship will make you feel better. But don't be afraid to come back. My door is always open for you."

"I know." John left the shuttle and looked for the captain and their mysterious guest. Soon, he found them and approached a man he hadn't expected to ever see again.

Wolf gratefully accepted the drink Mal offered, poured out a small amount and downed it, shuddering at it's potency.

"Oohhh! that'll kill the belly worms and no-mistake!" he said appreciativly.

"Yeah, I know, 'coz it's mine." Jayne mumbled, a bit put out.

"sorry mate, i'll buy you some more at some point, or maybe not, it's not actually very good, i'll buy you something better." His grin widening as he spoke.
"Now, story telling, stories to tell...hmm, three major points to cover. One, shits going down, big style, like...really big style. Two..." He counted them out on his fingers. "...Two, i've got a bit of a job for you, or my current employers do in any case. they needed some work done, a little bit of support, and i thought...I know just the man!"

He shifted his weight in the seat, just as John came through the door with a remarkably shocked expression.

"Alright Johnny?" Wolf smiled at his friend before turning back to the captain. "And three, you're going to be very interested to find out who my employers are, so interested in fact once i tell you, that you'll turn this lovely ship around from whatever sordid little enterprise you're hustling at the moment to go and meet them."

He kicked his feet up onto the table, his chunky magnetised boots thudding against the cheap wood.

"So there you go peeps, not exactly spry on the details i'll grant, but thats the long and short of it, i've been told to come fetch you, 'by any means necissry' were the actual words, but i think we can dispense with that, you'll come out of interest won't you cap?"

He paused, surveying the gathered faces with a sort of self-satisfied contentment.

"'Cos i'm an interesting guy." he finished with a grin.

"I'm pretty sure we have work actually," John said. John was frustrated at yet another distraction from the job at hand

"I believe I'm captain of this boat," Mal said.

"That you are," John replied, "but you also already agreed to do this job for my brother, are you going to shirk your work?"

"Now, Wolf here came all the way out here to find us and I think we should at least hear out his pitch. So who is this job for?"

"By any means necessary?" Grayson asked. "What does that mean? Who is this employer of yours? Because this is sounding more shady than a job for this man's brother. Without more information, I vote that we go with the less ominous sounding one."

The room went silent as Mal whirled around to face Grayson.

"As far as I know, you are not part of this crew. Matter of fact, you're more like a parasite stuck on the side of my ship, so let me make this abundantly clear," Mal said slowly and with menace. "My ship is not the rutting town hall. There is no voting on my ship. You don't like it? Then you can get you and your girl and get the hell off. Dong ma?"

Grayson set his jaw and stared down the captain for a mite before Mal dismissed him and turned back to Wolf.

"I'd surely like to do that," he mumbled under his breath.

Simon left the Infirmary once his inventory was taken. Ivy was still asleep and he didn't want to wake her.

He thought back to the reason why she came to see him and chuckled. Some people just couldn't be patient. Pain and Ivy were such people. Their love was quite evident, they were happy and their physical relationship was apparently very important to them.

He decided to go up to the galley and found a meeting-like event happening. And a new, albeit familiar face, Wolf.

Interesting, Simon thought.

He saw Pain standing near the back of the room and went over to stand next to the man.

"Wolf is back?" Simon whispered to him.

"Yep," Pain answered.

"OK..." Simon acknowledged. He watched the "power play" that went on between Mal and Grayson, the man who made him nervous. Simon was hanging onto the thought that the guy couldn't be too bad if he was Ivy's friend. Ivy. That reminded him to say something to Pain.

"Oh, hey!" Simon whispered to Pain again. "I just wanted to let you know that Ivy is resting comfortably down in the infirmary. I had to give her a pain killer, but she's doing just fine."

Galley

Pain was glad to hear that Wolf was willing to wait until the crew finished this job that John's brother had for them, before going for the one he needed their assistance with. He wondered who Wolf's employers were and how he managed to find Serenity. Pain also wondered where Wolf got that ship of his.

His thoughts were dashed when the doctor had sidled up to him and asked if Wolf was back, to which he acknowledged with an affirmative, three letter, single syllable response of "Yep". The two of them watched Mal and Grayson for a bit before Pain's attention was once again distracted by the good doctor's words.

"That's good to hear, doc." Pain whispered back. "I think I'll go pay her a visit while Mal and Grayson duke it out with their words."

"She's asleep at the moment." replied Simon, still whispering. "Just um.. take it easy with her from now on, will you? Just for a few more days until she's fully recovered."

"Will do." Pain whispered back, giving the doctor a smile.

While Mal was distracting Grayson's attention for the moment with their little power struggle, Pain slipped out of the galley and into the aft hall. He checked to make sure Grayson or anyone other than the doctor wouldn't see him disappear, but he had the feeling that River had spotted him out of the corner of her eye.

Pain nevertheless made his way slowly down the stairs. Once the infirmary windows came into view, he managed a glance and saw that indeed Ivy was sleeping in the exam chair. He paused for a bit and watched as her chest moved up and down with every breath, smiling at the sight. She sure was beautiful when she was sleeping.

Infirmary

He continued down the rest of the stairs quietly, careful not to wake her up. Pain stood in the doorway for a brief moment before taking a chair and quietly placing it next to the exam chair. Sitting down, Pain's left hand took Ivy's right and gave it a gentle squeeze. He smiled as she squirmed a little. Standing up, Pain leaned down and gave her a soft kiss on her lips.

"Hey, sleepin' beauty, wake up." he whispered to her in her ear. "I came to pay you a visit."

She squeezed his hand.

"Where'd you go?" she asked. "I woke up and you were gone. I felt so lonely."

His lips on hers helped to run the lonely feelings off.

"I was in a little pain after," she mentioned. "But Simon fixed me up right. Jus' had to take a nap."

She reached up and pulled him closer so that she could give him a proper kiss. No pecks on the lips, a real kiss.

"God Pain, you taste good."

"You do too, baby." Pain replied, before kissing her again.

It was long, slow, and passionate kissing. The kind that made time come to a standstill and made worries disappear. Pain and Ivy kissed like that for what seemed like an eternity. Her arms were wrapped loosely around Pain's neck, while his hands rested on her hips. Each kiss was like oxygen to both of them and each kiss lasted longer than the last. Finally they broke off the lip locking and rested their foreheads against each others'.

"I missed that." whispered Pain, as he looked into her green eyes.

"I did too." Ivy replied, breathing a little heavily. She looked into his eyes and asked again, "Where did you go?"

"Someone docked with us, settin' off the alarms." Pain replied. "Had to go topside with Grayson to find out who it was. Turned out to be someone who was part of the crew some time back. He's in the galley with Grayson and the others, but that's not important right now."

He kissed her longingly again and said, "This right here is more important to me at the moment."

Pain brought Ivy's lips back to his and started kissing her once more, the outside world starting to slip away as Ivy and Pain entered their own little private world inside the Infirmary.

Dear Lord, Pain was a good kisser and when they went excruciatingly slow, it was pure heaven. All you knew was the person you were kissing and not much else.

Without breaking contact, she sat up, turning towards Pain. She pulled him closer to her as they continued to kiss. She could feel his heart pounding against her chest. It was intoxicating.

Her hands broke free from around his neck and they found themselves on his chest, tracing every muscle lightly with her finger tips.

But their lips never left each other and the pace that they kissed was unchanging. She broke away long enough to take a breath.

"I love you, Pain," she said to him as her hands slid underneath his shirt and held him close to her.

Then the kissing resumed, their tongues doing a slow dance of unfathomable emotion.

Infirmary

"I love you too, baobei." he managed to murmur, his lips mere millimeters from hers'. God she felt so good being close to him.

Pain's hands ran up and down Ivy's back, caressing her as they continued to passionately kiss one another in the infirmary. They didn't know how long they were going at it, but they rightfully didn't care, as their tongues continued to dance and their lips continued to touch. Pain's feet however were starting to protest having to stand while Ivy had herself clinging to his upper half. He needed to sit down, but he didn't want to break their intimate contact.

Moving his hands down her sides, Pain picked Ivy up off the exam chair. Without removing her lips from his, she instinctively latched her legs around his waist and held onto him, as Pain found the chair he had sat in earlier and seated himself back in it. While they continued on with their smooching spree, Pain's hands found their way to the small of her back and rested there.

Meanwhile in the Galley...

"We could always use the extra muscle, Wolfie." Jayne replied with a wry smile.

And with the Captain's string of luck, they would indeed need the extra muscle. So without much more consideration, it was decided that they would do this job of John's brother and once they pulled it off without too many hitches or bullet holes, they'd go find out just what type of job Wolf and his employers had in store for them. Were they biting off more than they could chew? Were they going out and risking their necks on something that could prove to be very dangerous? Only time would tell.

John was pleased that they would be heading to his brother first. The complaining that would come from the other way around would be unbearable. There was just one more wrinkle, Grayson.

"Mr. Grayson, I'm going to have to ask that you leave so that we can continue with our busines," John said hoping manners would make the man comply, "I think you can see that Ivy is fine, so goodbye."

OoC: I'm suggesting that after Grayson goes, or stays if that's what you want, we time jump to Paquin. Thoughts?

Grayson stood there for a moment, glaring at John. He didn't want to leave before he was sure that Ivy was safe, but this man's insistence on him leaving before he wanted to was starting to grate on his nerves. He didn't want to make trouble, not for him and definitely not for Ivy, so he decided to make a strategic retreat.

"I'll be in my ship," he snarled, then turned and left.

Simon looked at him suspiciously as Grayson left and decided to follow him.

As Grayson nearly stomped down the stairs to the cargo bay floor, he passed the infirmary and stopped dead by what he saw.

It was Pain and Ivy, wrapped in a steamy embrace, kissing so tenderly, yet passionately. Pain held her close, but not too harsh and her arms were around his waist and inside the back of his shirt. They looked... happy.

"He'd do anything for her, you know," Simon said from behind Grayson. "If he could have stepped in front of those bullets for her, he would have."

Grayson took in a deep breath and exhaled.

"I know that."

"And she'd follow him wherever he went, too."

"I know that as well."

"Then why are you still here?"

Grayson paused for a few moments.

"Because she's still sick and I... worry."

Simon thought about River.

"I know what that is like."

Grayson pulled his sight away from the two lovers and looked straight at Simon.

"How is she?"

"Why do you care? You know who we are. I don't know you and being suspicious, I expect that you will be making a phone call once you are off this ship."

"Why would I do that?"

"It's what lawmen do," Simon told him. "You aren't the first one on this ship that tried to take her away."

"Well, I'm not them," Grayson informed him. "I might have before, but you are here. You saved her life and you could be here for her if she needed a doctor."

"I'm not a psychiatrist, Grayson."

"But I... trust you."

Simon was stunned. He didn't know what to say.

"I won't turn you or your sister in," Grayson said. "But I expect you to call if she needs anything. Anything at all. I'll get it for you. Quickly, quietly and without worry. You have my word, not as a lawman, but as a friend."

"I will. You have my word as well."

Grayson nodded once and turned back to look at Pain and Ivy.

"I'm gonna go get ready. I'm sure I have people in my care that need help," he said as he turned away. "You can tell the Captain that I am leaving and I'd like my gun back."

He turned away from the infirmary and took a step towards his ship.

"I'll be back later to say goodbye when she is less... busy."

Grayson then left, entering his ship. Simon turned back to look in the infirmary.

"If they have sex in there, I'm making them disinfect the whole place," he whispered as he turned to go back up to the galley.

John was thrilled that Grayson was leaving. He understood that he cared, in fact he respected it, but having a lawman on the boat wasn't good for him. He was no River, but there were certainly people out there looking for him, and now that Grayson was gone, John could breathe easier.

The entire Ivy situation still made John uncomfortable. He knew why, as well. John saw a bit of himself in Ivy. He had another side as well. Not as polarized as Tommy, but still present, a looming darkness. His other side didn't protect him, however. It just made things worse. Ivy was forced into the bad things that happened to her. John made a bad choice. A choice he was desperately trying to escape from.

His brother had stopped trying to escape, and that worried John more that anything. He made it very clear to Knives that he was to refrain from mentioning the true nature of his business to anyone on the crew, but he knew that probably wouldn't last. What would happen when the crew found out? John had no idea, but he knew one thing. He would not put this crew through another Miranda. When his past came back to take him down, he wouldn't let the ship go down with him.

"Deep thoughts." River said coming up behind him on the catwalk.

"Why are you prying?"

"It's hard not to look at an open book."

"So you're giving up? You aren't even trying to resist anymore?" John was extremely fed up with River playing psychic goddess. She was becoming exactly what the Alliance wanted her to be.

"It doesn't work."

"Not if you don't try." John left her. He couldn't deal with her when she was like this. He thought about going to find Kaylee, but changed his mind. She always seemed to busy for him nowadays. Instead he returned to his bunk and decided to get some much needed sleep.

A few hours later, a beep from his cortex pad woke him. He knew instantly what the beep meant. He'd programmed it to inform him when high profile wanted ads went out over the cortex. He picked up his pad expecting the worst, but what he saw shocked him none the less. They'd found her again. They would probably come quickly. The ad listed a series of known aliases for the wanted woman and beneath it a new, recent picture. Doc's face stared out at John. He knew this couldn't end well.

PG+++++ ahead...

Ivy pulled her lips away from Pain's, out of breath, but wanting more.

"Let's go somewhere else," she whispered. "Maybe that nice room down the hall?"

"If'n we're gonna do this again," Pain whispered back, stealing another kiss. "I want to have some serious privacy. I don't want to run the risk of getting interrupted. I want to be... home."

He was talking about their bunk.

"I can't do stairs yet, let alone the ladder down to get inside."

"Let me take care of that."

He stood up and picked her up, cradling her in his arms. She rested her head on his shoulder, with one hand pressed against his heart.

God! I want him so much! she thought.

He started kissing her again when they reached the top of the catwalks. Soft and passionate, just like down in the infirmary. They cut through the galley, absolutely ignoring any conversation going on between Wolf, Mal, Jayne and the others. It was like they were the only people left in the 'verse.

Select to view spoiler:

When they got to their bunk, Pain pulled away from Ivy and looked at the hatch, trying to determine the best way to get her down there without her having to exert herself or having to joustle her too much. After a moment he decided how. It was a little dangerous, but if done right, he would get her down there with no problems what so ever. And he really wanted to get down there without any mishaps.

Somehow he managed and once their feet hit the floor, the clothing started to fly off. Their kissing remained the excruciating slow pace they had set earlier and it was fueling the fire burning between them.

He picked her up again and laid her gently down on their bed.

"I love you, Pain," Ivy whispered to him, her eyes beckoning him to join her. Pain's response was a growl eminating from deep within him as he lay down next to her.

He pulled her against him. To his slightly rough, working hands, her skin felt so silky and soft. As they continued kissing, he stroked her skin softly, teasing the sensitive areas or massaging her back. Either way, she thought it felt fantastic.

At the same time, her hands traced the edge of every muscle she could reach, feeling each ripple as she went. His arms, his shoulders, his back... everything.

It took every bit of control to keep them at this stage. It was so sensual and erotic. And when Pain's lips left hers to kiss her neck, she exhaled a breath sighing in complete contentment. When his kisses went across her collar bone, she whispered his name, eyes closed and a smile gracing her lips. When he nibbled on that sensitive area where her neck joined her shoulder, she couldn't stand it anymore.

"Now," she whispered, her needs conveyed in a single word.

Pain rolled her onto her back and she opened herself to him. Making sure to balance himself so he didn't put undue pressure on her healing wounds, he joined her. Both of them stopped for a moment and just reveled in the moment; the two of them becoming one.

"Please," she whispered, a little more urgent this time. Pain acknowledged her with another deep growl as he was happy to do her bidding.

Together, they set the same excruciatingly slow pace as their lips and bodies joined, each one of them experiencing true bliss as they continued on their journey of lovemaking.

They didn't know how long they were there, just making each other happy, but they both were covered in sweat.

"Oh, Ivy..." Pain whispered to her, wanting more but waiting for permission to move on. He more than anything did not want to hurt her.

"Please," she whispered again, permission granted.

The pace remained the same, but his strokes became long and gentle, yet unyielding. As his lips left her mouth to kiss other parts of her, her fingers ran through his damp hair before sliding down his back, following the contour of his spine.

"Yes..." she whispered as she arched her back a little, baring her throat to him, which he took complete advantage of and kissed it thoroughly. "Yes..."

Pain picked up the pace a little, but not enough to hurt her, but still much slower than he wanted to go.

"Yes..." she moaned softly. "Oh God, yes..."

He felt exactly the way she did and when he couldn't wait any more, he buried his face in her neck and let himself fly free. Seconds later she was right there with him, both whispering each others' names as they soared to the highest heights. It seemed to last forever.

Finally, returning to "earth", Pain realized that his arms were shaking from suspending himself over her. He slowly withdrew and rolled to the side of her to settle on his back.

She wanted to keep some kind of contact with him, so she tenderly took his hand in hers and squeezed.

"Heaven," Ivy managed to say as both of them fought to regain their breath. "Absolute Heaven."

Pain and Ivy's Bunk

"It's always Heaven with you, baobei." Pain whispered into Ivy's ear as they laid in their bed. He ran a hand through her hair and gave her a kiss before smiling and saying, "I love you with all my heart, Ivy. And I ain't just sayin' that because you're naked and layin' beside me. I truly do mean every word of it."

He wanted to make love to her again, but he knew that it'd be some time before they could be going at it at their usual pace. Just being in bed and in close proximity to her was enough for him for now. He wouldn't push her to do anything more than what she could do. He didn't want to risk hurting her and he didn't want to get scolded by Simon again either. Nope, he'd be patient and wait until she was fully healed from her wounds. It'd be tough, but he knew he could do it.

They didn't know how long it was going to be until they reached their destination. So to pass the time, Ivy and Pain held each other close and looked into the others' eyes, losing themselves in their partners' gaze as they cuddled. Pain didn't know how this job was going to go down, but he knew one thing for certain. Ivy was going to stay aboard Serenity whether she liked it or not. He didn't feel comfortable with her leaving the safety of the ship. Not after what they went through during the last job.
