"Do we know if anyone was killed?" asked Zoe.
"It's likely. I know she meant to kill me 'fore the Doc put her to sleep." replied Mal. Hr turned to Simon "Which how exactly does that work anyhow?"
"Safeword." A beat passed and Simon continued "The people who helped me break River out, they had intel that River and the other subjects were being embedded with behavioral conditioning. They taught me a safeword, incase...something happened."
"Not sure I get it." replied Kaylee.
Simon took it upon himself to clarify what he meant "A phrase that's encoded in her brain, that makes her fall asleep. If I speak the words, "Eta.."
"Well don't say it!" shouted Jayne as he jumped out of his seat.
"It only works on her, Jayne." replied Zoe, calm and cool as always.
"Oh. Well now I know that." quipped Jayne.
"In case what happened?" asked Mal to Simon.
Mal's question caught Simon offguard as he responded "What?"
"You feel to elaborate on what that somethin' might be? I mean they taught you that fancy safeword, they must've figured she was gonna, what? Start uncontrollably crochetin'?" replied Mal, is anger building.
"They never said what." replied Simon.
"And you never did ask." replied Mal, who then grabbed Simon and threw him against the table, causing those who were sitting to jump back or flinch. Mal got in Simon's face and continued "A year and three months! A year and three months you had her on my boat, knowin' full well she might go monkeyshit at the wrong word, and you never said a thing!"
Simon was scared and it showed in his voice "I brought her out here so they couldn't get to her. I don't even know how they..."
My ship! My crew! You had a gorram timebomb livin' with us! yelled Mal, just as River woke up in the pantry. Mal didn't give Simon a chance to get a word in and continued "What if she went off in the middle of dinner, or in a bunk with Kaylee, did that give you a moment's pause?"
Simon looked at Kaylee, the truth of Mal's word hitting him.
"I thought she was getting better." replied Simon as he looked at Mal.
"And I thought they was gettin' off." piped Jayne. Everyone turned to look at the mercenary as he continued "Didn't we have an intricate plan on how they was goona be not here anymore?"
"We couldn't leave them now!" replied a hurt Kaylee.
"No, now that she's a...killer woman, we ought be bringin' her tea and dumplin's!" replied Jayne.
Mal looks at Jayne, at all of them, and doesn't have an answer.
"May I see her?" asked Simon.
Without a word, Mal steps aside and lets Simon enter the pantry, where his sister is being restrained.
"She goes wooly again, we're gonna have to put a bullet to her." chimed Jayne.
River mouths Mal's response just as he says it.
"It's crossed my mind." Mal replied.
Wash raised his hand and said "Can I make a suggestion that doesn't involve violence, or is this the wrong crowd?"
"Honey." replied Zoe as Wash put his hand down.
Wash turned to face the Captain and said "We need to get our bearings. I think we need to talk tp Mr. Universe.

Only on days that end in y. Oh and I found someone to play Pain. Pain is played by the WWE wrestler and actor, John Cena and Fly is played by none other than Kate Beckinsale.
Location: Ito's Bar & Lo Mein House - Persephone
Pain was enjoying a couple of brews as he sat at the bar. His daughter, Annabelle sat next to him, eating some sweet and sour chichken with rice, a half empty glass of Blue Sun Cola by her plate. The door opened and a familiar woman stepped inside.
"PAIN!" shouted Fly as she stood in the doorway.
Pain looked over and saw her, a smile appeared on his face as he said "Fly, long time no see."
Fly rushed over to him, almost knocking the air out of him, and hugged Pain tight. Fly proceeded to kiss Pain on the lips in a borderline friendly manner.
"I missed you somethin' fierce, Pain." replied Fly as she closed her eyes and rested her head on his chest.
"I missed you too, Fly." replied Pain as he hugged her. A beat passed and Pain said "Um Fly?"
"Yeah Pain?" asked Fly still hugging Pain.
"Could you let me go now? I think you're crushin' my spleen." replied Pain.
Fly released Pain and smiled "Sorry 'bout that Pain." Looking at the girl sitting at the bar, who's looking at them, Fly smiles, turns to Pain and says "That must be your daughter that you've been tellin' me 'bout in your waves."
Pain returned the smile "That she is and for the record, I don't mind your spleen crushin' hugs, Fly. My spleen does, but I don't." Motioning for his daughter to stand up, Pain continued "Annabelle this is your Aunt Fly. Fly this is your niece, Annabelle."
The two hugged each other for what seemed like an eternity, before they seperated.
"It's nice to meet you finally, Annabelle." replied Fly, smiling at the girl.
"It's nice to meet you too, Aunt Fly." replied Annabelle, returning Fly's smile with one of her own. She then looked up into her father's eyes and said "So are we leaving?"
Pain smiled back "As soon as I pay for the food and drinks sweety."
Fly scanned the area near the barstools that Pain and his daughter sat and said "I don't see any luggage. I thought you might've packed somethin' with you."
Pain handed Ito a twenty Cred note and said "Yeall all that's back at the house." Turning to Fly, Pain continued "Is Reggie here?"
Just as Pain finished saying that, Reggie stepped in.
"Aye dat Eye am, Pain. Deed ya mees me?" replied Reggie, flashing Pain a huge grin.
"Yes I did, Reggie, but that doesn't mean I'm kissin' you too." replied Pain, smiling.
"Wasn't expecteen' ya to, Pain. 'Sides yer ah bad keessah een da first place." retorted Reggie.
"You keep thinkin' that Reggie. So you got that mule of yours' outside?" asked Pain.
"Aye mon eet's gassed an' ready to go." replied Reggie. Looking at the girl by Pain's side and than back at Pain, Reggie raised an eyebrow and continued "Ain't ya goeen' to eentrtoduce me, Pain?"
"Oh right." replied Pain. Looking to his daughter, Pain said "Annabelle this is your Uncle Reggie." Looking back at Reggie, Pain said "Reggie this is your niece, Annabelle."
Reggie smiled and waved at the girl "Nice to meet ya."
Annabelle returned the smile and wave "Nice to meet you too, Uncle Reggie."
"All right lets go." replied Pain and the four of them left Ito's.
The four of them hopped into Reggie's mule, which looked like one of Pain's uncle's six wheeled mules, but with the exception that it had tracks instead of wheels.
From the back seat, Pain said with a smile "To home Jeeves and step on it."
Reggie turned around and said to Pain "Don't be geeveen' me dat sheet mon. 'Ow many times do Eye 'ave to keep telleen' ya, Eye ain't yer gorram drivah?"
Sarcastically, Pain responded "Well not with that attitude you're not." In a more serious tone, Pain continued "Seriously though, Reggie. I'd appreciate it if'n you didn't swear in front of my kid. It's bad enough that she gets it from me."
"Sorree mon, won't 'appeen again." replied Reggie, returning his attention to getting the mule started.

"And what did you do to need to come to my neck of the woods"

I wasn't aware that Jayne wore a jockstrap and I don't think I want to know either.
Quote:
"And what did you do to need to come to my neck of the woods"
"Why do you assume I did somethin', preacher?" asked Mal.
"Cause there's only two reasons why people come here. To find work and to hide from something or someone." replied Book. Looking at Mal, Book gave him a wry smile and continued "By the looks of things, I'd say you're here because of the latter."

Continuing my little Pain, Fly, Reggie, and Annabelle subplot.
Reggie's mule with Reggie, Fly, Pain, and his daughter Annabelle, pull up to Pain's uncle's house. It's still lived in, but there isn't as much stuff there, as there was last time Fly was there.
"Place looks deserted, Pain. Where's everyone?" replied Fly as evryone except Annabelle got out of the mule.
"Santo. That's where my uncle moved his business and the family as well." replied Pain as he opened the door. He looked at Fly and said "I thought I told you about that in my wave I sent last week."
"Probleem weeth da Cortex last week kinda made eet deefeecult to reeceeve eeny waves, Pain." came Reggie's reply as he walked into the house and headed for the pile of boxes in the center of the floor.
"Reggie fixed it though." replied Fly as both her and Pain picked up some of the boxes. Smiling at Pain, she continued "How's Uncle Bobby doin' anyways?"
"He's doin' fine, Fly. In fact he can't wait to see you again which is why I waved you and Reggie to help ship this stuff over to him." replied Pain, as he set down his load of boxes into the mule's trailer.
"Eye 'ope Eye be geetteen' paid for dis." replied Reggie as he unloaded a couple of duffle bags onto the trailer.
Pain turned to Reggie and said "And you will once we arrive at Santo."
"I can't wait to see him again, Pain. How long are you goin' to be on Santo?" asked Fly as she picked up another box.
"Long enough to unload these boxes at the new house and perhaps a day or two afterwards." replied Pain as he picked up another load and set it down into the trailer. Looking at Fly he continued "After that, well I don't know, maybe go back to Serenity or somethin'."
"I wouldn't mid seein' the new house and hangin' out with your family, Pain." replied Fly. She looked over to Reggie who just put the last of the boxes into the trailer, and asked "Is it shiny with you if'n we stay on Santo for a bit, Reggie?"
Reggie secured the boxes in the trailer and said "Don't see why not, Fly. We don't 'ave to be at Paquin teel next week."
Pain raised an eyebrow "Do you two have a job lined up on Paquin"
"That we do, Pain." replied Fly, smiling. "Why do you wanna join?"
"Well I did just spend my last twenty Creds on food and drink for me and my duaghter, so I could use the money." He looks at his daughter who's sitting in the mule, playing a game on her portable CorePad, then looks at Reggie and says "That's of course if'n it's shiny with Reggie."
"Eet's fine by me, Pain. Eye need an extra gun'and eenyways. Ya can keep Fly companee while Eye do da negotiateen' mon." replied Reggie as he hoped into the mule and fired her up.
Pain smiled at Fly and said "That's fine with me."
"Me too." replied Fly, returning Pain's smile with one of her own.
"All righty den. Lets geet dees stuff back to da sheep an' geet off dis rock." replied Reggie as Fly and Pain got into the mule.
"You have sheep, Reggie? Since when?" asked Pain, giving the dreadlocked man a grin.
Reggie turned around and said "Don't ya be starteen' dat crap again, Pain. Ya know what I meent."
Pain continued to grin and said "I know, but I like messin' with you."
"Yer jus' as bad as Fly, Pain." replied Reggie as he drove the mule away from the empty house and towrds the Eavesdown Docks.
"Now you know where I get it from, Reggie." countered Pain.
Fly turned around to Pain and said "That's only 'cause I get it from you." At that she sticks her tongue out at Pain.
"You keep stickin' that tongue of yours out at me, and I'm goin to find a use for it, Fly." replied Pain, smiling.
Fly simply smiled and stuck her tongue out again, before returning her attention back to the road as they headed down to the Docks and for Reggie's ship.

Back on Haven
There was tons of food laid out on the tables under the tents. Enough to feed a small army or in this case, a settlement of miners, their families, and a certain ship's crew. Jayne walked over to the Shepherd and handed him a book of cigars, then grabbed two as Book took the box and thanked the mercenary.
"This is some good food preacher." replied Mal, sitting at one of the tables and chowing down on a plate of food.
"It's nothing really, just what we grow in the gardens and hunt." replied Book.
"It's damn tasty I might say." replied Mal, before stuffing his face.
Meanwhile in the Black
Pain had just kissed his daughter goodnight and walked into the desolate galley, where Fly was sitting on the couch in the alcove, with a bottle of mead.
Pain sat down next to her and said, as he put his feet on the coffee table "I just put the munchkin to bed. I appreciate Reggie's hospitality in givin' me and my daughter rooms and full run of the kitchen."
"It's nothin', Pain. I'm sure you'd of done the same." replied Fly, smiling as she handed Pain the bottle of mead.
Pain took a sip and said "That I would." Turning to Fly, Pain asked "So are you and him...you know?"
Fly was taken aback by Pain's question and said "What? No we're jus' friends is all. I'm sorry to say that I'm still single."
Pain raised an eyebrow and said "A pretty woman such as yourself, still single? Please tell me you're kiddin' me."
Fly takes the bottle from Pain and says "I kid you not, Pain." Sighing, she continues "I don't know what's wrong with me."
Pain puts an arm around Fly to comfort her, as she takes a drink and says "Ain't nothin' wrong with you, Fly. You're a damn fine woman and any man would be honored to have you. Hell I'd take you back if'n I could."
Fly smiled and said "That ship's sailed Pain, but I appreciate the kind words."
Fly hands Pain the bottle as he says "Thought I'd give it a shot and you're welcome as always." Turning to Fly and grinning, Pain continues "So anythin' new besides what you told me?"
"Well I did gewt a tattoo a few weeks ago. How 'bout you?" replied Fly.
Pain took a drink and said "I threatened Badger with a dummy grenade."
Fly rose an eyebrow and asked "Why'd you do that?"
"Cause he tried to proposition me for a job. I kindly told him I'd aquaint his face with the bar and he got all mad." replied Pain, handing Fly the bottle.
Fly took a sip and said "I could see why, but where does the grenade come in?"
"Right about when his goons pressed their guns into my back." answered Pain.
"Well I can't say you made a freind with Badger, Pain." replied Fly, giving Pain the bottle of mead.
Pain took a long sip of the sweet liquid and said "Eh he'll probably get over it." Turning to Fly, he continued "So back to the tattoo. What'd you get and where is it?"
Fly smiled and said "It's a dragonfly and it's on a part of my body that you haven't seen in four years."
Pain raised an eyebrow and said, grinning "So can I see it?"
Fly shook her head and said "Nope."
"Please?" asked Pain.
"Nope." replied Fly.
"Pretty please?" pleaded Pain.
"Nope." countered Fly.
"If I give you the Fifty, can I see it?" asked Pain, trying to persuade Fly.
Fly took a moment to consider what Pain had offered, then said with a grin "Nope and I'm off to my bunk."
Fly then got up, stepped over Pain's legs and left him alone in the galley, with the almost empty bottle of mead.
To be continued...

Continued from my last post.
Hours later
Pain was walking around inside Reggie's ship, a little buzzed when he heard the sound of the shower running. Thinking it was Fly, Pain quietly made his way over to the shower room door, quietly stepped in, and opened the shower's privacy door.
"GAH! WHAT DA 'ELL, PAIN!" yelled Reggie. "CLOSE DA DOOR AN' GEET DA 'ELL OUTTAH 'ERE!"
Pain shielded his eyes and said "Sorry Reggie I thought you were someone else."
As Pain exited the shower room, Reggie yelled "YA BETTER BE SORREE YA PERVERT!"
Pain closed the door and turned around, startled to see Fly leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, and a not too nice look in here eyes.
"Oh hey didn't see you there, Fly. I thought you went to your room." replied Pain.
Fly raised an eyebrow at Pain and said "I did, but when I heard Reggie scream, I came down to see what all the commotion was about." Fly looked Pain in the eyes and asked "You thought I was in there and thought you'd sneak a peek didn't you?"
Pain nodded and said "Yeah."
Fly rolled her eyes at Pain "Well you are persistent I'll give you that."
"One of the reasons why you love me." replied Pain, grinning.
Fly let out a sigh and said "Fine you can see it, but this'll be your only and last chance you get."
"Uh huh." replied Pain as Fly pulled her pants down, revealing the tattoo among other things. Tilting his head, Pain continued "Wow that's very nice and the tattoo's great as well. I really like the detail that went into the wings."
Fly immediately pulled her pants up and said "Glad you like it, cause that's the last time you're seein' it."
As Fly walked away, Pain called out "You sure about that?"
"Goodnight, Pain!" shouted Fly, not looking back at him.
Reggie stepped out of the shower room fully clothed and said "Pervert."
"I said I was sorry, Reggie." replied Pain as Reggie walked away. Reggie flipped Pain off, which caused Pain to comment "Hey that's not nice! Don't make me wave your mama and tell her what you got pierced!"
