Doc stared at the in active television blankly, his mind a whirl with thoughts, plans, possibilities. Maya, his sister. Raven, the bane of his existence. Rogue his... uh, we'll get back to that one.
He grimmaced as Rogue's face flittered past his mind eye. She was a confusing one. He didn't know what to think of her. Yet he knew she was going to do something reckless in his name. He just dind't know what to do about it.

Rogue stood in her doorway, watching Doc, who seemed to oblivious to her presence there and without a word she moved quietly to where he was sitting on the couch and straddled him, pinning him to it, unable to move.
"So, I have two options for you..." Part of her wanted to laugh at the fact that what she was doing was probably not what he wanted in many ways but she felt he needed to get this whole thing with Raven taken care of and she would like his help since she was planning to do it herself. "You can help me or you wont. I have the way in and it would be easier with your help but if yo wont help me I'll do it alone. If you try and trick me into thinking you'll help me I'll knock you out and tie you up in Mal's library. So actually you don't really have an option."

Doc was trying so very, very hard to ignore the fact ath she was pressed up against him as she was delivering her ultermatum. Seriously, where the hell did this come from all of a sudden.
"Did you..." he cleared his throat, trying very hard not make his discomfort (or perhaps he was a little too comfortable. "Did you completely ignore the bit where I said going after Raven was a BAD idea?"

She didn't even bother hiding her grin from his reaction. Both of them. So he isn't as stoic as he seems to think he is. She tilted her head with a bit of a pout, not enough to actually be called a pout but enough to serve her purpose, which one she wasn't sure and to make him really uncomfortable she traced a single nail down his neck.
"I heard and I neither accepted nor denied any further planning on Raven and now I have. I can do it without your help or I can do it with your help. Which would you prefer?"

Dammi, she was enjoying this. "You know this counts as cheating, right?" He accused with a shiver as her finger traced his neck. Damn vampire and her body pressing against his. And tha almost pout. If he wasn't trying to work up the resistance to say 'no' he'd probably ki...
NO! Do NOT go there, Jackson. You can't go falling for the 300+ year old undead person, no matter how hot that pout looks on her.
...
Dammit...

She could tell that inside he was struggling with the decision and part of her did feel sorry for that discomfort but it was like pulling a bandaid off quickly. The sooner she got him to come around to the idea the better and she could use his help, any information in a way to standout would be very helpful and improve the chances of her plan to succeed.
"You know this counts as cheating, right?"
It did, but she gave no words to counter or confirm it, and with those words she knew she had him and his help, even if it was reluctant she'd take it. With a softer tone to her voice and a smile painted on her lips she leaned forward, only an inch or so from the side of his face. "So does that mean I have your help and you wont try and stop me?" Even though she knew she had him, she wanted to hear him say it.

He gave a slight groan. "Alright, alright, I'll help you fulfill your deathwish," he said. "Now either do something or get up," that came out by itself. Damn Freudian slips. She was really messing with his mind here. "unless you comfortable there," okay, STOP TALKING NOW!

"Alright, alright, I'll help you fulfill your deathwish,"
Her grin widened, glad to have his willing help, even if the prodding was unwilling and resistant.
"Now either do something or get up,"
She had been about to move... Her brain was telling her to move every muscle was ready to move but... She still sat there, on his lap, realizing just what was going on. The 'what if' strong in her mind.
"unless you comfortable there,"
Part of her wanted to give in... allow herself the possibility, even if it was only for a moment. Just one moment. She barried her head into his neck, allowing just the one moment of contact before getting off of him. Now was not the time nor place. He didn't' need another empty connection if something were to happen to her... He wouldn't forgive himself if she died helping him and she didn't want that for him. But... she didn't want to close the door on him, which was selfish but part of her couldn't.

He shuddered as she buried her head in his neck for a moment before she pulled away. He let out a sigh of...relief? No, not relief.
Disappointment.
Dammit, how the hell had he come to falling for a vampire that was probably... no DEFINATELY going to outlive him. Dammit, his life blew.
"So," he said, trying to ignore the wish to grab her and show hexactly what being pinned like that was like. "What's this plan of yours?"

She closed her eyes collecting her thoughts for a moment, breathing out softly stretching her arms, hating the feeling growing in the pit of her stomach. The desire to flee.
"So... What's this plan of yours?"
A focus she was prepared to handle.
"You mentioned before that Raven was very wealthy which got me to wonder, where does he get his wealth..." Both legal and illegal sources which she was sure he already knew that... "So I tracked down some demons who would know some of his more local activities. Guess what he's hosting? Paranormal cage fighting. Demons, werewolves... and vampires welcome." Even as she said it, all she could think about was him shuddering beneith her. Fuck...

"Oh no," he said quickly. After that, she thinks she's going to let her go into a supernatural CAGE FIGHTING RING? 'Nonononononononono... I've already said yes. Godammit, i KNEW I should have asked first," he growled out angrily. "Are you freaking insane? Do you know what those things are like?"

"I've never been in one, no." It was something she had never done before and had never had any desire to go into one but she had a reason to do it and she knew she was strong enough to do very well and had a drive to survive that she was sure she would come out of each round. If there was one thing she was good at, it was fighting.
"And yes, I am partially insane, thank you for noticing." Only part sarcasm... Alright it was ALL sarcasm. "I also know that I can somehow get his attention there. It's a dangerous game cage fighting, a delegation he would not give to one of his slaves. My sources know he over sees them personally."

"Well, yeah," Doc snorted. "Partly cause he enjoy's watching creatures kick five shades of shit out of each other and partly because he uses them to recruit big guns for the major jo... Oh. Oh. That's... Oh... crap..." He felt like beating his head against the wall. THAT was the plan? "You realise he's never gonna go for it, right?"

"Well, yeah. Partly cause he enjoys watching creatures kick five shades of shit out of each other and partly because he uses them to recruit big guns for the major jo... Oh. Oh. That's... Oh... crap..."
She almost laughed when he realized it but settled for a grin, putting a chair between them to get her mind off of inappropriate thoughts to more appropriate ones.
"You realise he's never gonna go for it, right?"
"I believe he wont at first, no, but I'm going to go for it and I've already put my name in." Oh she was smiling inside at the explosion waiting to happen from him. "So either you can help me or you can be tied up in Mals library." Mal would probably let him go, or Mal would wait to find out if she succeeded or failed before letting him go... It was hard to figure out what he would and wouldn't do. She hoped that Mal would think of Doc's well being over hers.

"...Gah, you're going to drive me insane, you know that, right?" Doc complained, running his hand through his hair. "so what exactly am I going to be doing while you're out there pummeling things into pasty messes in a cross between Roman gladiators and the UFC? Twiddling my thumbs? Cause if Raven sees me, you're covers blown. I never agreed with that crap," He would have preferred just killing them. How things have changed.
