I really enjoy the Hawaii 5-0 characters, but don't have rights to them. I am very disappointed with the development of Steve's significant other over the past few years so I am thinking up my own. I know the show is purposely not keeping him with anyone, but I can still hope.
"Danny! Get out here and join us." Lt. Commander Steve McGarrett yelled to his partner sitting in the office across the hall. Detective Danny Williams walked out to the computer where Steve, Chin and Kono were standing.
"Yeah, what's up? We have an ammo shortage we need to deal with?" Danny said sarcastically. He was tired and not in the mood for another case this week. He was looking forward to spending the weekend with Grace.
Steve stood at the computer bringing up the new case information they just received from the FBI. He was not looking forward to this case "Ok, we have just become glorified babysitters for the next couple of weeks." He heard one long whine from his team and smiled as it was in unison. "The FBI has decided that one of their witnesses is no longer safe in witness protection. Therefore we need to keep him safe until the trial date. We may need to draw straws on who is going to watch him first." Steve stated as he turned around to face his team his Ohana.
As he was turning around he noticed two agents walking towards them through the main HQ door. There was a shorter person between them in a New York Yankees baseball hat and tee. He gauged the figure and knew right off he was a she, but he was unable to really look at her with her head down. Steve looked at this team and nudged his head towards the door. Chin and Kono turned first as Danny scrubbed his face with his hands before turning around. The trio stood in front of them and the women in the middle was looking up with a huge smile on her face as she looked past Chin, Kono and Steve straight at Danny. Steve was taken aback by her right off when he looked at her she was shorter and not super thin like the women in bikinis at the beach, but she was beautiful. Her eyes were striking she looked at Steve with a curious look before she turned her attention back to Danny. Green a beautiful deep green with gold flecks.
"Lexi! No this can't be! Is it you?" Danny said loudly just barely below a scream. He came forward quickly and scooped her in for a hug. She laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck as the spun around twice. Steve unfolded his arms and put his hands in his pockets he wasn't sure what was going on, but his partner seemed absolutely delighted. "Lexi I thought you were dead. How? What? I don't understand." He stopped to take a breath and Lexi put her hand lightly on Danny's mouth and said "shhhh, calm down Danny" she said quietly with a smile. "I promise I will explain what I can in time. Just relax. I need to get rid of my escorts before they miss their flight back" she said. The two agents were handing a case file to Commander McGarrett as Lexi turned around with one intense dirty look at the two agents. "Farewell Smith and Smith I honestly hope we don't meet again." Lexi stated as one of the agents came forward and grabbed her arm yanking her close and whispered something in her ear. Steve and Danny both went forward to push the agent off of her. The agents turned to walk out of HQ and barely audible was a "pain in my ass" from one of them. Lexi smiled and turned back around to her new babysitters and gave Danny another hug.
Danny heard a throat clearing sound coming from Steve and turned to him with a huge grin on his face "What's wrong babe? You can't handle my knowing someone you don't know?" Danny introduced his team to Lexi as she shook each member's hand. Danny spun Lexi around and said "Steve, Chin and Kono may I introduce Alexandria Dikau or Lexi for short."
"I wish I could be meeting all of you under better circumstances, but as it stands I have a bounty on my head at the moment. I don't want to put any of you in danger so I will be finding a hotel and will check in with you guys at eight, noon, and nine every day." She turned and started towards the door. Steve and Danny each grabbed an arm and said "O no you don't!" at the same time.
Danny felt horrible but he had Grace this weekend so he really couldn't let Lexi stay at this place until Monday. Chin and Kono both had engagements with their family so agreed to the next go around. Steve stood there with his arms crossed across his chest and just shook his head up and down while trying to decide if he should be this excited about the prospect of Lexi staying with him. It was late so they all headed out.
Steve and Lexi drove to his place in silence as she watched out the truck window. He briefly thought about Catherine but reminded himself she did tell him not to wait for her besides nothing was going to happen he just met this woman.
"I love the view from the lanai and this house is very comfortable feeling." Lexi stated after walking around a bit. Lexi didn't know what she was doing here it was a bad idea. She told herself to get a grip she just met him and she was already having feelings towards him that wasn't possible. Men were not currently on her list of things to deal with at the moment. Staying alive and finding a way to get back to her life on the east coast was, not feeling things. The main reason she was still alive was being able to compartmentalize her feelings and not having any emotional attachments. Danny was such a sight for sore eyes that she had let herself have a moment a brief moment of true happiness. She had missed him over the past two years in hiding and even missed his constant negative rants.
Steve noticed Lexi was deep in thought and didn't want to startle her but put his hand on her shoulder which made her jump just the tinniest bit. She turned and half smiled "Sorry I haven't done that in forever. Your house might just be making me feel too comfortable." Steve smiled and showed her where everything was and offered her one of the spare rooms, but she picked the couch. She didn't trust herself even in the same house let alone a bedroom next to the Commander.
