Kane looked at Frigga and said “What are you waiting for?” and he jerked his thumb at the bed and Frigga jumped up and curled up next to Alexis. He bent down and said “Whatever you are working on… let me know if you figure it out.” and he kissed the side of her neck and then pulled the blanket up and turned the lights down, but not off. He went back to his bag and pulled out his tricorder. He walked back into the room and ran a scan over her to make sure she was ok, then said “Sleep, gorgeous. I’ll be here when you wake up.” and he looked at Frigga. “Next time you see that guy? F^%$ing bite the hell outta him already. Got it?”

A muttered, “Okay,” and a sigh when he kissed her neck. Before she could ask him to leave the lights on he’d already taken care of it. Frigga snorted in agreement. If he hadn’t been prepared for her, Frigga would have gladly taken a chunk out of him. “Solomon? I’m sorry, dates aren’t supposed to be like this.” T was said sleepily and there was a good bet she wasn’t aware she said it.

He walked to the door and left it open. “Well, wasn’t how I thought you’d be in my bed the first time… dammit.” and he went to the remains of dinner, cleaned up the dishes, took off his shirt and shoes and laid down on the couch.

Sleep could wait, and he fingered the phaser under his leg.

Some time in the middle of the night, Alexis woke with a start and soft cry. Frigga moved and laid across her lap. It took Alexis a moment to realize where she was and why. Something had clicked into place in her sleep, but first she needed to slow her heart rate from the nightmare she’d been having.

The lights came up instantly and Kane was in the doorway with a phaser sweeping the room. “What is it? You okay?” he asked after he confirmed she and Frigga were the only ones there. He walked in and sat on the edge of the bed. He bare from the neck down, and now the true level of body art and scarring were clearly visible.

Kane

Alexis looked up at him as he instantly appeared in the door way. There was a way he moved or, no, it was a lack of wasted movement that spoke volumes, but her eyes were riveted on the phaser. She shook her head, and slid over slightly, making room, as he sat down. “Just a nightmare. The brain uses REM sleep to create images and sensations to allow the phsyche to process events that it didn’t in real time. Not unexpected, it could happen for the next several days.” She was still staring at the phaser. “Where did you get that phaser? Soulis has one just like it, and yes I am absolutely sure. He likes to show off with it.”
Bonner

“Intel armory. Standard issue. And if Goonface McS%$t-Gibbon is showing off with it, he’s an idiot. May as well just wear a t-shirt that says ‘I’m Star Fleet Intelligence. Shoot me here.’ with a little bullseye dead center.” and he looked at her and grinned. “Maybe for his birthday!” and he set the phaser aside and brushed some stray hair from her face. “Wanna tell me what the dream was?”

Kane

She smiled and then laughed, just a little. His names for him were crass and vulgar but accurate and funny. There were little sparks where his fingertips brushed her skin that made her stomach feel funny, but she liked it. She pulled her knees up, resting her head across an arm, more because she was groggy from the medication than anything else. Her other hand began to absently trace the tattoos on his forearm. “It was....dark. I couldn’t see anything, but I could hear noises, rustling like some one was walking around me just out of reach, whispers that I couldn’t quite understand. Something was biting or clawing at me. I was frozen but I could hear you telling me to come to you, but I couldn’t find you in the dark.”
Bonner

Kane scowled and said “Listen… and keep this in your mind. If you are in trouble, and you can’t get to me? Then I’ll definitely get to you, ok? Remember that. Keep it in your mind. Next time you dream like that… I’ll come get you.” He looked at her as she traced the ink and took a deep breath. “Think you can go back to sleep?”

Kane

She nodded, he was so sincere about it. It was a dream, even though it had really scared her and seemed very real at the time. It was probably the sweetest thing anyone had ever said to her. She also knew that it was a type of lucid dreaming technique, to control your dreams or nightmares when they were too much. “I’ll remember.” The tattoo seemed to move when ever his muscle flexed, she traced over it again. “Maybe. What ever you gave me is still making me groggy and light headed, but my nerves feel…jumpy.” She was obviously disoriented by the meds because ‘jumpy’ was the least technical term he would have heard her use to describe her medical condition.
Bonner

“Adrenal overload. Nothing to do but try and rest, babe. Now lay back…” and he helped her lean back and settled her in. “Need anything?” he asked quietly.

Kane

Alexis blinked heavy lids as he helped her lie down. She wanted to ask him to stay, that even with the lights on she didn’t want to be alone. That whatever he’d given her made her fuzzy headed and hard to think and she didn’t like it because she’d never not been able to think. She wanted to hold his hand. That she was cold again, and she knew it was the adrenal overload, but she was still really cold. She wanted to ask him about the tattoo on his arm and the one across his shoulder and the scar above his inner elbow. What was she going to do when Soulis came back? Because he would and she didn’t understand how their games worked. That she really liked the way he kissed her. That she wasn’t anything like his coffee. Why was he always so nice to her? How did you say ‘good night’ in Mandarin?
