Disclaimer: I don't own Primeval… if I did things would be pretty different, including a lot more Becker scenes :) :P and if you don't know the story of the lion and the rat well it's about a rat that saves a lion.

Written in French class :) just so you know

Le Lion Et Le Rat

Things around the ARC tended to go smoothly, well in the end it seemed like that anyways.

Either way with Becker around things were definitely smoother than before.

He was inhuman, at least as far as Connor was concerned. The man always seemed to be in the right place at the right time, ready to save the day. Even against the self destructing members of the ARC team, he seemed well prepared.

Connor found that he didn't even think twice before running head first into a dangerous and unsecured anomaly sight, or into a predator's line of sight, because Becker always turned up.

It was a proven fact and the whole team knew it.

But Connor soon found that believe it or not, on this project, things could still surprise you.

Becker, cornered by a raptor, eyes darting side to side, not in fear but in calculation, looking for a way out and finding none, was definitely a surprise. His gun was pointed at the dinosaur but he knew it wouldn't go down in one shot, it would just get angry.

Connor watched as Becker's muscles relaxed, the soldier thought everyone was out of the building so he seemed to except what was going to happen as a job well done.

"Sorry, Captain. Not yet…" Connor whispered to himself before taking a deep breath and stepping into the room.

Becker glared at him but could do nothing to stop him and both men knew it.

Connor never expected to find himself in the position where Becker, Captain freaking Becker, the ARC's own personal Soldier Boy, would need his, Connor Temple the sci-fi geek's help. He knew the many times Becker had helped him were worth repaying.

"Hey Ugly! Over here!" With that, he started running.
