They came as he knew they would. Sending a quick flash to River he kicked the board on the side of the crate and knocked a couple off their fett as River through the top off the y wer up and around. John turned and kicked the nearest guy in the head snapping his neck. He turned pulling out his swords and started slicing. River looked as though dancing as opposed to fighting fluidly moving from one enemy to the next killing one after another. Soon they were dead. They hid by the door and waited more would come.

*Pain was in the cargo bay going through the weapons' locker, making a list of how much ammo they had, how many guns they had, how much ammo they had for said guns, and seeing how many grenades they had. Pain was using his data pad to jot down everything when he felt a familiar hand on his shoulder. He looked up from his crouching position, smiled and said*
Hey babe ain't you supposed to be workin' at findin' a way to the power supply of Niska's space station?
*Ertia lowered herself to her knees, smiled at Pain, hugged him and said*
Yeah but I thought I'd see how you were doin' first babe.
*Pain smiled and replied*
I'm doin' fine bao bei. However I have been thinkin' about the events that've happened in the past couple of days.
*Ertia tilted her head and said*
Really Pain how so?
*Pain turned to face Ertia, put his hand on top of hers and said*
Well you know how you asked if'n my uncle had any openin's on his ship?
*Ertia replied wondering what Pain was going to say next*
Yeah.
*Pain gave a brief smile and continued*
I just wanted to know what you'd think if'n I decided to retire from bein' a merc, got a legitimate job workin' for my uncle, and was willin' to settle down.
*Pain waited patiently for Ertia's answer, letting what he said to her sink in.*

A surge of something bright, something fierce, soared through her. She stared at him for a moment, the intensity of his gaze making him understand the seriousness of his words. When she spoke again her voice was a hushed whisper, "You really mean it."
Then she tilted her head, and gestured up to the catwalk where Fly and Guy were loading weapons, "You'd leave Serenity? Just walk away?"
Part of her is overjoyed at the very thought. Not having to wake up every day wondering who was going to try to kill them, not to wonder where the next meal was coming from.
But part of her was watching as Fly slapped Guy on the shoulder and teased him about something that made him blush. Part of her was still in Mal's bunk, holding his old ships compass in her hands. She hugged Pain close and kissed him. "Lets see if we survive today first."
Then she pushed away and headed back towards the galley and her computer. Pausing, she looked back, "I think it's a pretty shiny idea, babe."

*Pain smiled and said back to Ertia*
I'm glad you do babe.
*Pain watched as Ertia left for the galley then turned his attention back to doing inventory. He smiled to himself as he put everything back, closed the door to the weapons locker, and headed to the galley to hand Zoe his data pad with the list of what they had on it.*

(Is this my cue? Smells like a 13-style final confrontation...
Memories. Secrets. Fear. That seemed to be all he was now. Memories that kept him going and slowed him down, secrets that cut and tore away at his soul, fear of himself.
He didn't know what they would do when they saw him. Cast him in the corner, like a child? Take him back in, a long-lost son? Or would they simply destroy him, hurl him into space and watch him fail?
Not fail, not fail. People don't fail, they die.
Right. Die. He remembered how that felt.
Gunshots, dead eyes. Fly screaming. His eyes closing for what would have been the last time, what should have been the last time.
What was more important than any of those things was what he would do.

oooo...cryptic 13. Very cryptic. Give River a run for her money. :p
"BINGO!" screamed Choo in the co-pilots seat.
"WHAT!!" shouted Wash, kind of very suprised at the sudden noise.
"sorry. But i've got a scheduled slot to see Mr. Niska about some certain goods. AND clearence to get in. Lady Luck's giving us some love!!" Choo said, with a big grin across his face.

*Pain walked into the galley, smiled at Ertia who was sitting at the table, typing away at her computer. Pain noticed Zoe talking to JR and Sybil at the far end of the table. He walked over to Zoe and said, handing her his data pad*
Here's the list of every gun in the weapons locker.
*Zoe looked at the screen of Pain's data pad and scrolled down as Pain continued to speak*
I made a list of how many grenades we had, how much ammo we had for the guns, what ammo and supplies I could spare, and also what equipment we didn't have but wasn't neccesary.
*Zoe nodded, handed Pain back his data pad and said to him*
Good work Pain now go get yourself armed and meet up with everyone in the cargo bay.
*Pain replied*
Will do Zoe.
*Pain walked past Ertia, stopping to give her a kiss on her forehead and headed to his bunk.*
