The doors to the brig opened and a three person team escorted the heavily tattooed and wild-haired former CSO inside. They took his commbadge, searched him, and then walked him to a cell. The entire time, his eyes stayed fixed on the woman in the cell across from him, and a wicked smile played across his face. One of the security officers went to the Brig Supervisor and said “Per the XO’s orders, Lieutenant Commander Kane is in custody for that incident with her.” and he jerked his head at Allison Bonner. “We were gonna confine him to quarters, but he ordered us to bring him here, so…” The Supervisor looked at Kane quizzically and said “Commander, you do know that you can be in your quarters, right?” Kane kept staring at Allison and just nodded.

Kane

Alisson was sitting on the cot fuming. How dare they arrest her. They put restraints on her! She rubbed her wrists back and forth. It was humiliating! And Anthony just standing there, not doing anything to help her! Well he better just wait till they got home. She would make his life as miserable as hers had been all these years. She had demanded to be let out. Demanded to speak to the captain again, anyone! They were going to let her out. That was until the Brig Supervisor told her if she didn’t calm down he was going to fill her cell with some kind of gas and make her go to sleep. She sat down then and reassured herself that Alexis would come. She may not be able to love Alisson like she should be, but Alexis would make a pitiful attempt to reconcile. Alisson had always made sure that Alexis did that. She just had to be patient.

She heard the door open and looked up, that had to be Alexis… It. Was. Not. It was Kane. They arrested him! Her glee was short lived as he smiled at her and all she could think of was him telling her he was going to make her life a living nightmare. Or something equally upsetting. She refused to look at him. She would not meet his gaze, or give him the satisfaction.

That lasted all of 15 seconds. Her eyes kept flicking to the cell on the other side of the room, and she paced and figited and muttered like a rabbit cornered by a wolf.

Alisson

Kane didn’t move once the field was up. He stood like a statue… an grinning, malevolent, wicked looking statue. The only movement was his eyes… tracking her like a predator tracks it’s prey. Even the security officer was a little unnerved by it; to the point he said “Ok. Commander… knock it off.” Kane didn’t move. The Brig supervisor cleared his throat and said “I said enough.” Kane chuckled and said across the room “You should thank him. I could stare at you all day. After what you did to Frigga? Oh… the things I can imagine happening to you, you callous harpy.” He movedto the bed at the back of the cell, sat down, and lowered his head. His hair fell across his face as it was want to do… and then he stared at her through the strands, the Reaper-like grin slowly coming back into play as his eyes tracked her every movement.

Kane

Alisson smiled at the Lt behind the desk. “Thank you.” The Lt turned to look at the screen on his desk. He wanted a nice quiet shift, he wasn’t doing it for her. He wasn’t supposed to have an opinion but if the Cmdr stopped this woman from hurting Frigga, well he didn’t want the Cmdr getting himself in more trouble. Then again he was sure Cmdr Kane absolutely would not appreciate the sentiment, so he kept it to himself.

It was quiet for awhile until suddenly Alisson stood up and approached the field. “He’s doing it again! Make him stop!” The officer barely looked up. “Ma’am you need to be quiet.” “But he’s STARING at me,” and she banged her fist on the field. “OW”

“Ma’am sit down.” Alisson sat and looked at her hand. “I need a doctor.” The field shimmered a bit, “No ma’am you do not. The power setting was only enough to give you a bit of a shock. NOW however it is not. Don’t do that again.”

Alisson sat quietly for awhile, but eventually Kane’s silent stare and horrific grin got to her and she turned around and faced the back wall of the cell. But she knew he was still staring at her.

Alisson

Kane waited. He knew she would check… and she did. Twice. Both times he was still in the same position… with the same look. He only moved when he heard the whimpering crying from the other cell. The grin turned to one of satisfaction, and he laid back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

Kane

Alisson was quiet for quite a while. She finally decided not knowing what Kane was doing was less scary than looking at him. The guard was not unaware of her crying, but it happened sometimes when people finally realized they were really in trouble. Kane was so quiet that he had to turn and look to make sure he was still in there. A little later another security officer entered carrying two trays. The Brig Supervisor opened the fields, one at a time, just long enough for the other officer to set the food down - meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Alisson sat up and turned to look. She looked…deranged and the officer flinched and backed out in a hurry.

Alisson

The doors slid open and a large, well-built human male in Command red with Commander pips stepped in. He looked at the Brig officer and said “Commander Sinclair, Executive Officer. I’d like a word with the Lieutenant Commander… in private.” The Lieutenant J.G. cw to attention and said “Of course, Commander.” He tapped a few commands and then field on Allison’s cell went opaque. He then nodded once at the XO and then stopped to the door, but not through it.

Sinclair moved to Kane’s cell and said “Lieutenant Commander Kane. I am Commander Sinclair, the new XO. May I ask why you decided to confine yourself to the brig?”

Sinclair, XO

Kane’s head turned and he looked at the speaker. “If you gotta ask, you shouldn’t be the XO.” he said flatly. “You’re gonna need to be a lot more on the ball to keep up.” and he returned to staring at the ceiling.

Kane, R&D

Sinclair clasped his hands behind his back and shrugged slightly. “Fair enough. So allow me to ask ye a question, den.” He cocked just head to the side a bit and regarded the figure before him. “Why is Allison Bonner more important to ya than your wife? And before ya get all analytical, don’t. I’m not trying to get under your skin or trick or manipulate. I’m being serious, Commander. You put yourself here, in the brig, on your wedding day, to… what? Mess with Mrs. Bonner? Get in her head? Maybe get a quick shot in before she gets put somewhere? All of that… on the day you got married.” He crossed his arms on his chest and shook his head. “That all points to her- ” and he jerked his thimb behind him, ” - being more of a priority than your new bride.” Sinclair stepped close to the forcefield. “You can stay here if you want. I’m not here to order you out. I’m just making sure you thought this through. You only get one wedding day, after all.”

Sinclair, XO

Kane half-listened, but he did catch what the roid-giant was saying. And as much as he gritted his teeth against it, he knew the XO was right… well, mostly… right. Of the two Bonner women, Kane was in love with one and hated the other. And for a man like Kane, having to choose between the two extremes was damn near impossible…

But he could.

He slowly sat up and swung his feet to the floor and he glared at Sinclair. “You really should read up on Alexis. She isn’t the sentimental type. Me neither. Dates really don’t mean s#!t to us.” and he took a breath. “But… I don’t wanna tarnish the day with her crap.” and he jerked his chin at the white security field. “So fine. Ill go. I’m guessing I’m confined to quarters, right?”

Kane, R&D

Sinclair nodded and said “You’re guessing correctly.” Sinclair looked at the brig officer and said “Let ‘em out.” The security officer moved to the central control and deactivated the field and Kane’s cell was open. “She can see.” Sinclair said and Allison’s field went back to transparent.

Sinclair, XO

Kane looked at Allison for a moment, and then just shook his head. He looked at Sinclair and said “I wanna see my wife. Where is she?”

Kane

The doors opened and in she walked. Her top was changed and her hair was in a neat bun instead of the haphazard nest she had put it in before she started operating on Frigga. She was carrying a PaDD that had monitors and images on it. The most prominent a video feed of Frigga’s biobed. “I’m right here, where else did you hypothesize I would be.”

Alisson looked up, where she had finally found the sink and was attempting to clean herself up. It would get worse before it got better. “Alexis! Alexis come here. I insist you speak with me.”

Alexis turned her neat posture slightly, clearly ignoring the woman. Alisson would not be ignored, by Alexis no less. “Alexis Claire Bonner you come over here right now!” Alisson slammed her fist several times on the paneling next to the forcefield. She had at least learned not to touch the field.

Alexis watched the jr Lt give Kane his combadge back. “I wasted three minutes on reading brig regulations for nothing. You’re impossible.” But she grinned slightly.

Alexis

He shrugged and said “Yeah. You love me anyway.” and he kissed her. “Oh hey!” he said with much excitement. “Sorry I got locked up on our wedding day. I promise I’ll make it up to ya.” He looked at Sinclair. “Do you wanna have me escorted? Or do you think we can make it back to our quarters without the hassle?”

Kane

Alexis gave him the weirdest look. “You’re apologizing for this? This,” she made a circular gesture to encompass the brig, “is nothing. If you hadn’t stopped her, Frigga would be dead. Then you would need to apologize.”

Sinclair took a breath and simply gestured to the door. “No detours. Straight to your quarters.”

As the pair left Sinclair looked at the brig officer. “Check the database. Charges should be filed. Make sure the CoS is aware and let her know if she needs details she can come see me. Thank you.” and he walked out the door.

Sinclair, XO

The security Lt looked back and forth between them. No one was going to believe it. “Cmdr Bonner..umm..Kane? Is Frigga going to be alright?”

Alexis stopped in their way out the door and looked back at him. “We’ll know when she wakes up.” Then she walked out, as Alisson screeched like a banshee for Alexis to come back there right now.

Alexis

Kane looked at the Security officer and said “If she isn’t…” and he glared at Allison with the utmost genuine threat a human face convey and then shook his head and followed Alexis out.
