Ghosts

[Mac Calhoun]

“It’s not just them.” Mac informed her. “Clint just happened to trigger this one.”

[Olivia Ryder]

"Normally I'd say talk to your dad but..." Olivia frowned. "Sigh... I'm still not quite over that either. Although the fact that you live with a raging horndog... I'm kind of shocked that Clint and Selene are enough to throw you."

"She kind of does have a point there... I am thinking about you naked like at least half the day." JT agreed with a nod.

"i'm not sure that's helping JT." Olivia gave him a smack on the arm. "In any case... you're a good agent Mac. I always thought you had 'it'. You'll manage. I have faith in you."

[Mac Calhoun]

“Yeah I’ll be fine.” Mac said with a dismissive wave. “We‘ll just get started a bit later then I would like.”

[Olivia Ryder]

"I know i'm retired but... if you need a hand. Call me." Olivia said softly. "I... your parents may have gone off, but we still support each other."

[Mac Calhoun]

“Thanks Olivia.” Mac said with a small smile. “Besides I’ll just make JT take care of me for once.”

[Olivia Ryder]

"That's what partners are for." Olivia said with a smile. "The right partner will make you both better." she glanced at Selene and Clint. "Personally I always felt that partners in the field and off... wasn't the liability others thought it was. Who better to back you up than the one that knows you more intimately than anyone else. And... it makes long stake outs bearable... and doesn't result in an annoyed spouse. Unless there's seduction involved and well... just means you have to make up for it even more than you did with the target after the mission."

"Heh... yeah... that's fun." JT chuckled. "Although why are there are more women ring leaders lately? I'm starting to feel like meat."

"Aww... equality getting you down JT?" Olivia said with a tilt of her head. "Hey, once upon a time, I did not have a single blouse or dress that wasn't low cut and short. You can at least bend over in tight pants, I wore skirts and was usually bare legged. Don't complain. About time you boys did the seducing for once. Hey Selene... did you know our Clint used to be a male stripper?"

"I was hoping to tell her that after the fourth or fifth date..." Clint said with a blush.

"Ask him to entertain you... he's quite good actually." Olivia teased. "Those biceps and those back muscles... he did this ripple thing with his muscles. Hey I have a male type... muscles usually do it for me."

[Liara]

“How much homebrew would it take to see that?” Selene inquired with a raised eyebrow.

[JT Kirk]

"A lot." JT said with a smirk. "I'll do it if Clint does it though."

"Hah!" Clint laughed. "Let's see who's laughing once we hit the training room... besides, I don't think Selene needs to have that particular vision of me in her head."

"Well it's in mine! Get it out!" JT chuckled. "Curse my over-active imagination!"

[Liara]

“It’ll be alright.” Mac said as she gently patted JT’s hand.

“Maybe we postpone training until Mackenzie is feeling better?” Selene suggested. “You and I can run our op and then we’ll be free for back up when they run theirs.”

[Clint Cross]

"That's actually not a bad idea..." Clint mused. "You're used to fighting Scions so this shouldn't be too bad... famous last words.'" he rolled his eyes. "Alright, Mac, JT you're our back up... Selene and I will let you know when we're done and then you can deploy. It'll be a long day but I promise you can both have tomorrow to recoup."
