I think that guy owes me money.
Pain found Ertia in one of the storage rooms in the cargo bay. He didn't know what she was doing there or why, but he needed to talk to her.
"Bao bei are you busy? We need to talk." replied Pain as he leaned against the door frame.
Ertia turned to face Pain and looking into his eyes, she said "Not busy. What'd you want to talk about?"
She knew what he wanted to talk about, but she asked the question anyway.
"I wanted to talk to about why I didn't come back until recently." replied Pain. Looking at the hatch for the second shuttle, then back at Ertia, Pain asked "Would it be all right with you if'n we talked in shuttle number 2?"
Ertia shook her head and said "Don't see why not."
Pain gave Ertia a smile and lead her to the second shuttle, hoping that the Captain wouldn't be needing him or her, while they talked.

John walked to the infirmary hoping to find Kaylee and Simon. They were talking and giggling. "Hey Kaylee"
They turned around suprised to see him obviously they weren't giggling at a joke.
"I'll just go then"
"No you can.."
"No I'm good" He turned to leave and was pulled back by Kaylee.
"Hey is something bothering you."
"NO!"
"Well sorry"
"You should be"
"What's that supposed to mean"
"Well you haven't talked for more than five minutes to anyone on the ship for two months. Even Fly who we may not see till God knows when only got a couple minutes of your time. I'm kind of sick of not getting to spend any time with my best friend cause she's to busy screwin around"
He left before she could respond. When he returned ot his bunk he couldn't believe he had yelled at her. He felt bad but he'd been gleaning way to much strong emotion. He couldn't carry it anymore. He still felt the sting that he had enflicted on Kaylee with his yell. Things needed to get back to normal and fast. Hopefully this job would help.

Inside Shuttle #2
They sat down on one of the fold down benches on the side. Pain placed a hand on Ertia's looked into her eyes and said "I guess I'll start at the beginnin'."
After taking a deep breath, Pain told Ertia of how he chased after 13's pet named Dani as it ran off into the woods with his pants. He told her how they both wound up being ambushed in the middle of a clearing by Melanie and some of her crew and how she tranqed him. Pain then told her of how he woke up in a dark room, about the beatings he received, and how he and Annabelle where the only ones to escape before the ship blew up after the attack from the Alliance military vessel.
He then told her about his run in with Womack at Refueling Station 15, just as he and his daughter were about to leave. He told her everything that happened, including the incident at Ito's with Badger and his reunion with Fly and Reggie, which lead up to his reunion with her and the rest of Serenity's crew.
"The reason I didn't contact you or anyone else on Serenity, was because durin' everythin' after Refuelin' Station 15, I had to keep myself off the radar. I only went out to get food and other things for myself and my daughter. When I figured things were coolin' down, I contacted Reggie and Fly and had them pick me up. Durin' my time with both of them I was too busy helpin' them with jobs and whatnot to wave anyone." replied Pain finally. Looking into Ertia's eyes, he continued "I don't know if that gives you the answers you were hopin' for, but that's the truth."

*beats up Wolf's writer's block* 
Deadwood
Serenity landed in the meadow not too far from town, softer than Wash could ever do. Her engine pods powered down just as the cloud of dust settled down. It was mid day and the sun was out, not a cloud in the blue sky as the cargo bay doors lowered, letting a gust of air and the smells of the town in. Everybody including Pain's daughter had begun to filter down into the cargo bay.
"Guess that means we've landed." said Pain to Ertia. He stood up from the bench in Shuttle #2 and continued "I'm willin' to bet a hundred Creds that this is the softest landin' I ever felt in this ship or any ship for that matter."
Ertia had been quiet for the hour that passed before the ship touched down. Pain guessed that she was milling over what he had just told her.
Walking over to her, Pain knelt down, looked into her eyes and said "Bao bei you haven't said a thing in an hour. Are you comin' with me to the cargo bay or am I goin' to have to carry you over my shoulder?"
Ertia are you here or did the space monkeys get you?

John took a big whiff of the new fresh air and immediately regreted it. Deadwood smelt like go se. He walked with the captain, Zoe and Jayne to go meet the passengers. He hoped something would go wrong he was itching for a fight

"I can walk on my own two feet, thank you very much." replied Ertia, giving Pain a smile.
"All righty then, but the offer still stands." replied Pain, crossing his arms over his chest.
Ertia rolled her eyes and exited the shuttle, Pain following right behind. By the looks of things the Captain was already gone, along with Jayne, Zoe and John.
"Looks like I should head for my bunk, grab a weapon or two and stand on guard duty." replied Pain as he scanned the cargo bay, waving at his daughter as they both saw each other. He turned to Ertia, smiled and asked "Think you can keep the munchkin occupied until the Captain and the others come back?"
"Sure I guess." replied Ertia, uncertainly.
Pain patted Ertia on the back and said "You two'll do fine."
Leaving Ertia standing on the catwalk, Pain made his way to his bunk. As he entered his bunk, Pain stood for a moment and took in the view. He was glad to be home. He'd be gladder if Ertia was sharing his bunk, but he remebered the "having to take things slow" part of her speech and sighed. He walked over to his weapon's locker and opened it. Pain reached in and took one of the submachine guns and a couple of mags. Sticking the mags in a pocket, Pain exited his bunk and made his way back into the cargo bay. As he walked across the cargo bay, he noticed that Ertia and his daughter were gone.
"Probably off playin' hide and seek." thought Pain, smiling as he leaned against the cargo bay wall and looked out into the openess.
