Disclaimer: None of the characters or they're myriad universes are mine. I just borrow them and play with them a bit. Please remember that as this is the only time I'm saying it for this story.

A/N: Okay, so here's the deal again. This is the February edition of my song drabble things. Various characters are used. The list would be a bit much for me to type here. Not all of these are canon. (Duh) Also not all of these will become stories in and of themselves. Yesterday I used Pretty Woman and I have no intention of writing any stories for that universe. Some of these drabbles are from my own stories and you may see parts of them in the stories themselves. Also not all of the drabbles really have anything to do with the song. It could just be that a phrase or a word in the song sparked something that made me think of the drabble. Okay enough from me. On with the show.

Drive—Carly Rae Jepsen (2:57)

Tin Man

DG and Cain

"Cain!" DG called as she raced down the hall towards him. "Would you wait for me, please?"

Cain stopped abruptly at her call and turned around. "Hey there, Princess," he greeted the panting woman. "What's wrong?"

DG stopped in front of him and placed a hand on his arm as she tried to catch her breath. "You're testing out Glitch's new car thingy, right?" She asked after a moment.

Cain cocked his head at her. "Yes," he drawled slowly, curious with what that fact had to do with her and why it would make her run that way.

DG grinned. "Good. I'm coming with you." She held up a hand to forestall his inevitable objection. "Please. I have got to get out of here. If one more pompous windbag from the council tries to tell me who to marry or what to wear I swear I'll find my stick again."

Cain couldn't stop the chuckle at the memory of her whacking one of the stuck up Lords when he'd suggested retiring Glitch because they hadn't been able to repair his brain. That had been a very good day even if the Queen had been irritated at DG actions. He looked down into her blue eyes and shrugged. "I wasn't going to tell you no, Deeg," he told her. "But you are not coming dressed like that." He waved a hand over her court clothes. "You wanna come with me then go put on your pants and we'll go. Tell Az we'll be back sometime tomorrow and I'll go let Jeb know that you're with me."

DG gave him a delighted grin and leapt on him in a spontaneous hug. "Thanks, Wyatt," she whispered and kissed his cheek. "I'll meet you outside the lab?"

"Sounds good," he nodded. He let go of her waist and placed one hand on the back of her neck to keep her in place. "Maybe day after tomorrow," he murmured and bent his head to take her lips with his. "Glitch's machine might break down," he finished when they'd come up for air.

DG shrugged unconcerned. "It might at that. But I'm sure I can fix it if given enough time."

Cain chuckled and let her go. "Ten minutes, Princess."
