I struggled to my feet with a smile. "Actually, it's rather uncomfortable."

"Perhaps you should be grateful I just missed your femoral artery. Half an inch to left and you'd be dead in two to five minutes. Do you really want me to aim again?"

"You want? Go ahead," my smile vanished, and I gave her a long hard stare. "This is what you always wanted, Jessy. Go ahead. Prove to me what a fine Watcher you are."

"Enough!" I snapped, standing. Not threateningly but just to make my presence more obvious. I had tried to simply play along but Jessy attacking Doc wasnt in my game plan. "Jessy you may be all big powerful watcher now, but you know damn well how we work and that if you want info, or help, this is not the way to go about it." Our eyes were locked, each as stubborn as the other and knowing it. I knew that putting her down in front of them would not help, but we had chatted in London, we were still theoretically on good terms... so i spoke without words.

"Maya, stand back," I said evenly, not taking my eyes of Jessy. "Let her do what she thinks she needs to do."

"Shut the fuck up Doc." I snapped. His ego was not causing a battle here.
((sorry for the language!))

"Maya, stand aside," I said gently. "Please."

Silence. Then a loud slam as a heavy, large leather bound book with intricate decoration was placed on the bar. I ran a finger down across the lock and the book sprung open. "If Mr Ellison will sit down I will be glad to conduct this meeting with civilty."

"No!" I exclaimed, "Jessy is NOT the enemy. Sit your arse back on that chair before you get yourself and others more hurt than you already are. Jessy?" I begged with my eyes for her to understand me.
((this is meant to be before Jessys last one, lol, just pretend!))

"Maya," i said. "It won't come to that." I stepped forward. "Well Jessy? What'll it be?"

I gave a small smile and took my seat.

"Please Doc." I said, in his mind as well as out loud. I also shot a scornful look at the 'squad' "And you lot put those ridiculous things away."

I nodded and most of the squad lowered their weapons. One man kept his trained on Rogue though. I didn't trust her within fifty yards of me. "Now, are you going to be reasonable?"

"If you are Jess." I said softly, taking my seat. "Please, all the weapons down?"
