Honest Run


“Who’s this?” Kaylee asked eagerly.

Zoe and the new recruit had only just finished picking up his belongings from his previous employment. If his old boss had any objections, he didn’t voice them.

There was a good deal of scowling though.

That was mostly due to the bullet that the merc had put in his former boss’ leg.

Zoe wasn’t sure what Mal was thinking when he invited this one on Serenity, but if her captain was anything, it was unpredictable. The new recruit seemed capable with a gun, but his character was definitely nil. She wasn’t sure whether it was the captain’s winning deal making or this that broke the man’s decision to switch sides.

It went without saying that such an easy betrayal had portents for a similar future.

As for herself, Zoe didn’t care for him.

At all.

It was worse than what she felt for the pilot.

While ‘Wash’ Warren had kept running his eyes over her all the time while talking to Mal about this and that, this one’s eyes weren’t roaming all over Zoe, only sticking to certain lusty parts. She had no doubt that she could convince him otherwise, all Zoe needed was a mom

The crew's lagging behind Simon and the captain. The piece is a bit random in its 3 parts, but it hit its amount of revision that I usually give a story before I post.

Loved that Inara's surprised no one's talked to Simon about Kaylee. Like always, quite well written, especially the comet-riding.

I thought the bit with the comet was very shiny. Hope nothing important got rattled loose, apart from Jayne's conscience that is. Ali D :~)

lovely piece, the comet ride was a nice touch kind of like taking the family car out on joyride when the parents are away. Mal would be pissed that they hitchiked on a comet, will they ever tell him?

I especially enjoyed the Inara/Jayne conversation, as we rarely saw that on the show, it also reinforces Inara's unofficial role of ship's counseller.

Hope the next chapter is serenity realising mal and simon are in trouble. They need to be saved.
