Into the Black Meeting (Before JA)

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin was inside the flight simulator, a hydrospanner in one hand and a set of F-16 cockpit schematics in the other.

"Today we're going to try something a little different--flying in gravity. I've switched the sim to replicate an Earth craft called the F-16." He smiled. "It looks like it'll be a pretty sweet ride--Cam's bringing the simulator data for it."

He gestured to a holographic heap of a ship. "Before Jayne and Sheldon skipped town or got eaten or whatever, Jayne said we could have this ship, which has been parked in their backyard since Wash disappeared. Only problem being I don't know what it is or really how to fly it and all of the Firefly characters have disappeared.. I'm guessing it'll be relatively standard once we crack it open, but I'm looking for a few volunteers to come work on it with me and go on a test flight." He smiled. "Promise we'll come back in one piece. Not making the same promise for the ship."

"Hey. Just wanted to check on you and make sure you were recovered from the whole neck-nuzzling incident."

Anakin grimaced. "Getting there, thanks."

"No problem. So...he's gone? I know you have kind of a tempestuous relationship," she said, sympathetically.

Anakin scuffed his boot on the ground. "Yeah, he's gone." He snickered. "Covered in glitter. Can't wait to hear how he's going to explain that to the Council." His expression softened. "It was good to see him, though."

"Covered in glitter?" she repeated, incredulous. Talking to Anakin was a good idea. Kept her mind off other things. "What exactly did you dress him as for Halloween, Anakin?" Cocking her head, she let her lips curve into a warm sort of smile. "I'm glad you got the chance to visit."

Anakin's carefully innocent expression contrasted sharply with the mirth in his eyes. "As a rock star. Leather pants. Glitter. Not a lot else." He broke down and laughed. "Told him it was an Earth tradition."

Some of the hollowness in Beka's stomach subsided at the brightness of Anakin's expression. "Oh. I would've paid to see that." She even chuckled a bit. "From what I saw of him...he must've been dying of mortification. And you must've been leering liek whoa all night.."

"Definitely not the happiest I've ever seen him, no," Anakin admitted. "And totally. OMG." He looked at Beka. "You doing okay? I saw the Tentacle."

"Still, probably worth doing. Everyone can use to loosen up a little. Plus, now you have blackmail pictures to use if he ever brings up any of those stories about you," she offered. "Tentacle? Oh. Um. Yeah."

"That's what I said. I even dyed my hair to make him feel better." He watched her reaction with some concern, but wasn't going to push anything. He pointed towards the flight sim. "Han's here now and he's going to be running the flight sim while Cally and I wander off to see if the ship Wash left behind'll actually ever lift off again. Go blow some stuff up." He smiled. "Always makes me feel better."

"Thanks, Anakin. I may just do that. And if you like blowing things up, next time I go Magog-hunting, I'll comm you and see if you want to come along." She smiled back. Worried about you with this non-human killing, An. Watch your back. I will be.
