*Pain kisses Ertia on the neck and says*

I'll go check the pantry babe.

*Ertia smiles a little as Pain brushes a hand across the small of her back and says*

Ok Pain.

*Pain opened the pantry and searched the shelves. He finally found a bottle of meade, grinned, walked back to Ertia and said*

How about this?

*Ertia looks at the bottle in Pain's hand, managed a smile, kissed Pain on the cheek and said*

That'll do.

*Pain put the bottle on the counter, grabbed two glasses, set them down, and opened the bottle of meade. He poured equal amounts into each glass and handed Ertia one. She smiled as she took the glass, taking a sip of the sweet liquid. Pain smiled and said*

I can't wait til we hit Londinium.

*Ertia raised an eyebrow and said*

Oh you've got something planned Pain?

*Pain smiled, took a sip from his glass and said*

You might say that.

looks like we got another fight on the way!

"OOh! I love surprises!" Ertia takes a judicious sip of the meade. Oh glorious day, it's heavenly! "I'm just looking forward to having my feet on real ground and not looking over my shoulder every two minutes."

Guy stumps in and settles at the table, "That guy..." And he points towards the cargo bay, "Is a lunatic! He thinks that thing is a PET! He NAMED IT!"

Ertia sighs, resting her head against Pain's shoulder. "I suppose we can cook it and feed it to Jayne. He'll eat anything."

"Gorram right I will." Jayne steps into the kitchen taking a big whiff of the cooking on the stove, "My mama didn't raise no picky eaters!"

The others snicker and Ertia is forced to wonder if Jayne really WOULD eat Dani...

(No eating of Dani! She has an eventual purpose!)

13 strides into the galley, Dani perched on his shoulder. She eyes the rest of the crew evilly, zeroing in on Zoe. Very clearly, she screams:

"SPATHIC!"

Turning to Ertia, she screams, "CALLIPYGIAN!"

13 beams at the cancerous-seeming lizard-bird, saying, "Turns out she's a mimic!"

Dani hisses and says, in her screaming mimic tone:

"Eat shit and die!"

Jayne takes another whiff of the food, saying, "Think it's a prophet, bot-boy."

"Maybe she is. Huh, my little Nostroda-" 13's eyes open wide. "We just changed course seven degrees."

"What?" Fly says. "How could yo-" Suddenly, the ship is yanked to the right, and a panicky Wash-voice rings from the com.

"Somethings got a tractor-beam on us. They've got a scrambler too, whoever they are. Can't scan the source!"

'I don't know. He seems kind of peculiar.'

*Pain put his arm around Ertia's shoulder, kissed her head noting how good she smelled and said*

You might want to stir the rice. It smells like it's burning.

*Right after Pain said that he felt the ship rock and said*

Ai ya! What in the ruttin' hell is goin' on now!

"Hybernium!" The freakish creature on 13s shoulder squaks.

"I'll hybernium you!" Ertia reaches for a butcher knife, only to be stopped wit Zoe's hard glance.
Instead, she shuts off the stove and reaches for her laser pistol, only to remember that it's still tucked into the hidy hole.

"Great, we're being bordered and I'm armed with a skillet and a potato peeler," She complains as she watches Pain pull his pistol and move with the others toward the cargo bay. "PLease tell me it isn't REAVERS!"

Location: Bridge

Wash wiped a sweaty palm across his forehead as Serenity drew closer to the unknown source, his other hand blindly searching for some way to repel the tractor beam.

The com-monitor blinked to life, revealing a scarred, gray-haired man.

"Permission to board?" he says with a mocking tone, a cruel half-smile on his face.

Mal rushes into the bridge, hearing Orphan's voice. He is closely followed by 13, Dani on his arm.

"No! Don't let him board, whatever you do!"

"Don't think you have a say what happens on this boat, bot-boy." He sighs, telling Orphan. "Let 'em board." The scarred man smiles, and the monitor winks into black.

"Mal, you have no clue what you just did."

"Think I have. Something with a tractor-beam strong enough to pull us in will have heavy firepower. We run, they dust us. We let 'em board, they can't attack us without blowin' themselves up."

"But-"

"Eat shit and die!" Dani screams, silencing 13.

-------------------------------------------------

Orphan smiles as the doors of Serenity yawn open, smiles when he sees the brown-haired man aiming a pistol directly at his face.

"Don't even bother, Mal," 13 says weakly. "Can't shoot him."

"Sayin' he kin dodge bullets?"

"No. He just moves faster than your finger."

Orphan cocks his head in mock curiousity. "Mal Reynolds? Why, last I heard of you, you were stewing on Hera, up to your ears in blood and corpses."

Orphan looks to the catwalk, where River is poised, hands on the railing. A strange look passes over his face. Sadness...and memory...

Mal follows the merc captain's eyes to River, who is staring back at Orphan. Something unspoken passes between the pair, something beyond Mal's understanding.

"So," Orphan says, "You have one of us with you. It doesn't matter; I'm only here for 13."

"So," Orphan says, "You have one of us with you. It doesn't matter; I'm only here for 13."

"Right here, Orphan." 13's Pemier is in his hand, reflecting the cargo bay lights.

"Good. Now, Captain Reynolds, you and your crew will move up to the catwalk now, or I kill *her.*" He points his finger straight at Kaylee. "Try to shoot me, I'll kill him *he points at Wash* and her." *he cocks his head towards Inara.*

"I have no particular quarrel with you or your crew, although your hacker did cut down on my able bodies on Zenith."

"The deal is this. 13 and I fight; one on one. He loses, I leave, and you go free. I lose, use my com-link to tell my pilot to unboard, and they leave. Its a win-win situation, Captain."

Before anybody can protest, Mal's hand furiously cuts towards the catwalk, and the crew dutifully stride to it.

"You don't hold up on the deal, Reynolds, I'll kill them all."

13 fluorishes (sp?) his Pemier as Orphan unsheathes his katana.

"Do you know you're the last one, 13?" Orphan circles the bot, katana held at the ready. "I've already hunted down the rest. Well, except for Guy, of course. But I'm willing to trade you for him."

"Still one for the talking, Orphan? Lets just fight and get it over with."

"As you wish."

(OoC: A little rushed, as I have to leave soon.)

Ertia knows where to place her bets during a possible firefight when she's unarmed.

Under the kitchen table, a butcher knife in hand, she waits...

*Pain stood on the catwalk, leaning on the rails watching the two guys (well one guy and a bot) circle each other. Pain wondered what Ertia was doing. He thought to himself as the two men circled each other some more*

She's probably under the table right now or hiding somewhere safe.

*He wished he didn't leave her in the galley but it was his duty to fight and protect the crew, his second family. Pain shook his head as he heard the sound of metal clash with metal.*
