"I believe I took care of our little problem with the elevator being guarded by two armed thugs, who by the by shot at me first." spat 13, a hint of blue white energy sparking through his eyes. "As for the ass biting, that depends on how long it takes the poor dupe that I talked to on the comm back there, to realize Mr. Rojas and Mr. Crane aren't where they're supposed to be and he sends someone to check up on them."
13 took his gaze off Pain, looked at Ivy. and then back at Pain. He straightened his posture and re-holstered his submachine guns, while adding, "It also depends on how long you're willing to stand here and give me a lecture about it while your girlfriend's standing there getting her panties in a twist. Oh that's right! SHE'S NOT WEARING ANY!!!"
13 stalked off towards where the elevator was and stopped a short distance away. Turning his head slightly, he said in a more somber tone, "You know, the next time I try to be nice and help, I think I'll just sit in the corner and twiddle my thumbs while you two get yourselves shot at. How's that for you?"
He moved again and didn't bother looking back this time as he disappeared though the dimly lit blackness. If they followed him back to the elevator that was fine by him. If they decided to go with the stairs, that was fine by him too.
Pain stood there, watching until 13's form disappeared around a corner. The heat from his anger still flowing through his veins and radiating off his body. It wasn't so much the hatred for the Bot Boy himself, but his actions and words. He turned back to Ivy and his gaze softened. He walked over to her and embraced her in his arms, careful not to poke her with his assault rifle.
"Come on, baobei. Lets get a move on." he said softly to her, one hand stroking her hair as he leaned down and kissed the top of her head.
The walk back to the elevator gave 13 time for his circuits to cool down somewhat. Not much mind you, but enough that they wouldn't overheat and send him into standby mode. As he got to the elevator, 13 moved the bodies of Rojas and Crane off into the shadows and behind some crates, so that no one would immediately see them and guess what happened. He hoped that the dim lighting would help camouflage the puddles of blood as well as the streaks of it that lead to Rojas and Crane's bodies. Back at the elevator, 13 opened the doors and stepped in, holding them open while waiting for Pain and Ivy in case they followed him.

Pain looked at 13 as he stepped into the elevator. His jaw flexed a bit as he thought for a bit, weighing his options. 13 had been quite rude to Ivy and he had already dispatched of two of the "bad guys." Who knows what else 13 might do, plus the constant berating of his relationship with Ivy was enough to distract him from the job at hand. Finally he came to a decision. He reached his hand down and grasped Ivy's.
"We'll take the stairs," he said between clenched teeth. "I don't think it's safe to go with you. Be a bit distracted with having you around."
13 got an incredulous look on his face and stepped into the doorway of the elevator.
"Distracted around me? It's her that's got you distracted! Wrapped around your finger she has you!" 13 exclaimed.
Ivy's head dropped a bit at the exchange.
"Maybe I like they way she makes me feel? Ever think about that?"
"It's not you, Pain. She's done something to you," 13 accused. "You were never like this with Ertia!"
13 has crossed the line. Pain closed his eyes and took in a deep breath.
"Yeah, well, neither were you," he answered evenly. He gave Ivy's hand a gentle squeeze. "Come on Ivy, let's take the stairs."
And they all went their separate ways.

"Is he always like that?" Ivy asked Pain as she walked up the stairs with him. "Or is he just like that because of me?"
"I think he's just jealous, baobei." replied Pain, giving her hand a squeeze and showing her a smile.
"Jealous?" Ivy asked as they continued climbing the stairs ahead of them. "Why would something like him be jealous?"
"Don't rightly know, babe." replied Pain as they neared the corner up ahead. "But then again this is 13 we're talkin' about. The same 13 who likes to wear disguises and crash me dates." He shrugged and added, "Although I am glad he chose not to wear a dress last time."
He held up a arm as they passed the closed door to the floor they were on. He peered through the slim dusty rectangular window, trying to see if anyone was on the floor they were on. When he didn't see anyone through the window, he signaled Ivy that it was safe to continue up and onward.
Pain held Ivy's hand again as the ascended the next flight of stairs. While looking up ahead, he said to her, "Speaking of dates, I think we should figure out what to do for our second one. As much as I'd like a re-match at Paint Tag, I'm kind of leanin' towards packing a basket with food, grabbin' a blanket, and findin' someplace out of the way to have a picnic." He turned to her, giving her a smile, and asked, "Would you like that?"

"I would," she said, smiling. "It's been a while since I've gone on a picnic."
"Then it's settled."
"Yes, I guess it's-" Ivy's foot slipped and her hand slipped out of Pain's as she fell to her knees. Her hands broke her fall and they got slightly skinned, but she whacked her knee hard. "Owww..."
Pain was at her side in an instant.
"Are you OK, bao bei?" he asked, concerned.
"Yeah..." she said as she stood up and brushed her hands off on her pants.
"You're bleeding," Pain whispered. as he went back down a couple of stairs to check out torn place in her pants just below her knee and the cut contained within.
Ivy looked down.
"Ah... It's just a little cut," Ivy remarked. "And these were my new pants!"
"We can always go shopping again," Pain told her. "It does seem to be stopping already."
"Pain, it would take a little more than some blood loss to slow me down."
"That concussion didn't, that's for sure," he teased her. She giggled a bit before he looked up at her with a devilish grin. "Want me to kiss it for you?"
"Eww... This place is filthy. I don't think that's neccessary."
Pain stood up to find himself face to face with Ivy. They froze for a moment, before Pain leaned in and kissed her. It was a short kiss, just a brief touch of their lips, before backing away.
"Maybe 13 was right. Maybe you have done something to me," he whispered. "Cause here we are on a job, where danger could literally be right around the corner and I am having the most inappropriate thoughts..."
He didn't finish his sentence. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her hard and passionately.

Their tongues pirouetted like ballerinas inside each others mouths as they kissed. Ivy pressed herself tighter to Pain, her hands roaming his back as her eyes fluttered inside her head. She let out a moan in between kisses and when there was a momentary break in lip contact, Ivy panted and put her hands on Pain's chest.
Looking into his eyes, she said to him as her chest heaved up and down, "Babe, we can visit your inappropriate thoughts after awhile, but right now I honestly think we need to finish this job." She gave him another long kiss and after breaking it of, said with a sly smile, "Remember, baby. We work before we play."
Pain looked into her dazzling green eyes and sighed. Unwrapping her from his grasp, he nodded and said to her, "You're right. We need to focus on the job." He looked her over slowly before letting out a defeated sigh and saying, "I guess I can wait."
Ivy looked up at him, smiled and said, "Good boy. Your patience will certainly pay off in the end. I can guarantee you that."

Pain was holding a gun in one hand and holding Ivy’s hand in the other as he led her up the stairs. About a floor and a half up, something brushed Ivy’s ankle. She screamed and with freakish speed, she ran up a few stairs, passing Pain. Pain whirled around to see the problem, instinctively using his arm to push Ivy behind his back.
Then he laughed.
“It’s a mouse, darling,” he chuckled as he turned around to face her. Again, she ended up being eye level with him and she was still staring down at the stairs where she had been with a ridiculous ‘It’s-a-mouse’ look on her face. He laughed at her again. Finally she turned her focus on him, looking him straight in the face. She was slightly embarrassed and hot under the collar because he had laughed. Her green eyes sparkled with intensity. It sucked Pain’s breath away.

“It felt bigger,” she managed to get out before Pain reached around her with his free hand and pulled her flush against him. His mouth covered hers, his tongue seeking its mate. She stiffened for a split second, then melted against him, wrapping her arms around him while still holding her gun.
Pain picked her up and went up the next three stairs until he reached a landing. When he got there, he sat her on half-concrete wall that served as the railing for the stairwell, never stopping the intensity of his kissing. His lips left hers to travel down her neck before nipping on her shoulder.
“Pain…” she moaned as her eyes closed. She heard him place his rifle on the top of the rail as well and both of his hands started to roam over her body. His touch was electric, shooting sparks throughout her body. She tried to say something to him about it not being the right time for sex, but all she could get out was his name. “Pain…”
His hands unbuttoned her shirt quickly, but when he touched her chest, there was nothing fast about it. His touch was tender, it caressed over her stomach, her ribs and her breasts. She arched her back in response.
“Pain…” she panted as her hands reached for his chest only to come in contact with his body armor. Normally, she would have been disappointed that she couldn’t touch him, but right now, right there, in the midst of all the danger, it just turned her on more. She reached down and placed her gun on the ledge as well before running her hands through his hair. “Pain… We shouldn’t…”
“Screw ‘shouldn’t’ bao bei,” he growled as touched her. “Just relax and enjoy yourself.”
Ivy knew they shouldn’t have been doing what they were, but the added high of their current location and environment just made his every touch and glide over her skin so sensual.
“I’m relaxin’” she whispered as her hands unbuckled his cargo pants. The weight of the weaponry the pockets carried caused them to fall to his ankles without even a thought. She took him in her hands, slowly caressing his entire length.
“Ivy…” he moaned as his eyes rolled backwards into his head. “Oh God, Ivy…”
It didn’t take him long to remove her pants. He scooted her to the edge of the wall and slowly entered her. Both of them shuddered and Pain started with a quick pace, but after a minute, he slowed down into the languid pace, his strokes long and slow.
“I don’t want to rush…” he whispered into her ear between pants. “I know we should… oooh… but I… *moan* I can’t. I’m going… oh God…to get us… *grunt* both killed.”
“Then don’t rush,” Ivy said as her whole body shuddered in delight. “And if today is the day… *pant* we are meant… oh, Pain… to die… ooooohhh… I wouldn’t want… *moan* to be anywhere else… *breath hitches* right now… *God* but here.”
Pain groaned as he buried his face in her neck and the two of them continued their tryst in silence, except for the sound of each other in utter carnal bliss.

After they had finished making love in the stairwell, Pain and Ivy continued to kiss and touch each other. Pain whispered naughty things into Ivy's ear, causing her to giggle quietly and moan as Pain gave her a few slow teasing thrusts.
"I bet you'd like that wouldn't you babe?" Ivy whispered as she nibbled on his left earlobe, her hands gripping Pain's sides.
"Indeed I would." Pain whispered back, his own hands gliding up her ribs.
Ivy stifled a giggle as she wiggled her hips some and murmured, "That tickles, baby."
Pain ran his hands over her ribs again and caused her to stifle more giggling. She in turn slid one of her hands between Pain's legs while he was still inside her and caused him to jump back a little.
"You naughty girl." Pain whispered to her as he gave her devious a smile.
"Naughty boy." she whispered back, giving him her own devious smile.
Pain brought himself closer to her, kissing her passionately on the mouth before whispering in her right ear, "We should probably get dressed now, baobei. 13 and the other team are probably at the command center by now."

Mal, Zoe, Cate and Isahiah ran carefully towards the competing ship. Guns were drawn and eyes were peeled for any unfriendlies. When they got near the other ship, they slowed down per Mal’s hand signals and quietly moved forward, taking cover where they could.
As they creeped closer, they could see that the men from the other ship had two hand trucks with a couple of small crates on each one. They had also stacked some other things on the floor next to them.
“That’s it!” Isahiah said quietly to Mal, Zoe and Cate. “Those crates on the hand carts are what we came for.”
Mal looked at the size of the boxes and was less than convinced of their value.
“Those small things?” he asked. “We are risking everything for four small crates?”
“Four small and very VALUABLE crates,” Isahiah reassured the others.
“It’d better be,” Mal warned him.
It was then that bullets rang out from the other ship’s direction. Mal, Zoe, Cate and Isahiah dove for cover behind nearby crates. Mal swore and peeked out from behind a crate to see what was going on, but nearly got him head shot off for his troubles. He switched on the comm as a new barrage of gunfire swept over them.
“Where in the Hell are you guys?” he yelled.

"I wish we had more time." Ivy replied, running her hands down his body armor covered back. She looked into his eyes, pouting a little as she added, "Things were just starting to get fun."
"I know, baby, I know." he replied, gazing into her beautiful green eyes before kissing her passionately on the lips. As Pain's lips departed Ivy's, he whispered to her, "But playtime is over now and we've got a job to do that doesn't involve sexin' each other up in an abandoned stairwell."
Pain and Ivy shared some more kisses between the two of them, as well as some intimate touching. They continued on this way until their earpieces crackled to life and caused them to pause.

They could hear the gunfire in the background and some of the crew swearing as the Captain wondered where they were. There was a brief swear from Jayne which was quickly followed by the staccato blasts from his gun as he returned fire. Pain looked at Ivy and pressed his earpiece. He could tell that she was getting nervous.
"We're here sir." Pain replied into his earpiece. "Got turned around takin' the stairs, but I believe we're headin' up in the right way now."
"Well hurry it the hell up, will you?" Mal replied, bullets whizzing by his head as he returned fire. "We don't got all day and we sure as hell don't have the ammo."
More gunfire was heard before the comm went dead. Pain looked at Ivy again and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Babe, you don't have to do this if'n you don't want to. I'll understand if you want Tommy to take over." he said to her.
"I.. I.. I can do.. this." Ivy replied, shaking a little.
Pain placed his forehead against hers' and looked into her eyes as he placed a hand on her cheek. She hesitated a little before locking her eyes onto his. She was trembling a little and obviously distraught.
"You sure?" Pain asked soothingly. "You don't look like it, baobei. Perhaps Tommy should come out and take over for now."
