So this is my first attempt at writing fanfic. I normally just write fiction so it's definitely weird using other peoples characters.

Please tell me what you think.

Chapter One

"So you were gonna teach me how to do that kick thing remember?" Claudia asked Myka.

"Um, yeah I will. There's an artifact in Los Angeles that we have to go retrieve first. Then I'll teach you." Myka was a bit nervous about being around the younger woman. Claudia was just so, odd.

"You agreed to teach me over two weeks ago! It's just like you and Pete are never around anymore. I've seen you maybe a total of three times in the last week." Claudia realized she was starting to whine and shut her mouth. It would not do for Myka to realize how she felt.

Myka put her hands on Claudia's shoulders and said, "Look, Claudia. I promise you that when I get back from this trip we'll spend some time together. Ok?"

At the feel of Myka's hands on her shoulders Claudia had to struggle to keep her body under control. Claudia think. Myka is most likely…

"I'm most likely what?" Myka asked with a slightly tilted head.

"Oh shit! I said that out loud?" Claudia blushed furiously.

"Myka? Artie wants you." Pete called from the doorway, "Well if you two were about to kiss I can leave." He said as he noticed how close they were standing.

Myka just rolled her eyes before turning to leave. At the door she stopped and looked back at Claudia. "I'll see you in a few days."

"Yeah, see you Myka." Claudia said.

With a sigh Claudia collapsed back in her chair. She hadn't felt the way she did when Myka was around in years.

Who was the last girl who made me feel like that? Claudia thought, Oh yeah, it was Sam. Samantha McCorlin. Blonde hair, blue eyes, amazing body, and she fucking broke my heart.

With a shake of her head Claudia glanced over at the vacuum cleaner. Artie had asked her to fix it but what with thinking about Myka and all she had been to distracted. With a sad smile Claudia stood up and went to fix the vacuum

"I wouldn't touch that if I were you." Artie said from behind them.

Pete jumped at that and yanked his hand away from the helmet.

"There have been reports of fires in Los Angeles, you are to go their and investigate them." Artie said.

"But doesn't LA always have fires this time of year?" Myka asked.

"Yeah fires and hot ladies." Pete said with a grin.

Myka rolled her eyes, Pete was so hard to take most of the time.

"These fires are not like the normal LA fires. The first one appeared the day after it rained, and each one at the very center has an image like this." Artie hurriedly tapped away on his keyboard. After a few minutes an image of a fire appeared and the screen went black. "No, no no!" he cried.

"I told you Artie you should really get a new computer." Claudia was leaning against the door frame.

"Claudia, I thought I told you to fix all those items in that pile over there." Artie growled.

"Gee, I was just going to ask you if you want me to update the vacuum so it can go up and down stairs. But I guess you don't care." Claudia muttered stomping back off to the pile of broken equipment.

Artie hit the computer screen and it flickered back to life.

"What is that?" Pete asked peering at the image.

"It's a pentagram." Myka said, "So you believe that an artifact is behind this?"

"Yes indeed, at the center of each fire is a pentagram of unburned area. Your flight leaves in two hours you better get going."

Claudia glanced up as Myka and Pete walked by. As usual Myka didn't even look her way. Claudia bit her lip and bent back down over the parts of an old camera.

I know this was a bit short but it's my first attempt so give me a break. If people like this then I will continue to write it otherwise... oh well was worth a shot. Now please write reviews! Thanks!
