Title: Broncos and Bears

Spoilers: None really, but you haven't seen Emily Owens, M.D. then you may be a little lost when it comes to the characters.

A/N: I know that nothing like this will ever happen in the show, but... I was inspired, and have personally have had a couple of sucky days, so... here's a short little vignette. (Also, I stopped watching The Event wayyyyy before Necar Zadegan came on, so, this is solely a Emily Owens/ER crossover).


"Who's the redhead."

The nurse passing them by quipped, "I thought you were over the redheads, you'd moved onto Residents..."

Emily Owens, M.D. made a face and pulled Tyra Dupre, also an Intern away from the nurse. No matter what she did she just couldn't get away from the bisexual horndog backstory she'd gotten pegged with because of her friend.

"I repeat, who is the redhead that's talking to Dr. Bandari?"

Tyra shook her head, "No idea. She's not anyone I've met."

Emily narrowed her eyes at Tyra, "And so she must not be anyone?"

Cassandra interrupted them, "I heard that she... and Dr. Bandari have quite the past."

Tyra shook her head, "Nah, that doesn't look past to me..."

Cassandra glanced over at Tyra with a frown on her face, "What?"

Tyra cleared her throat, "I thought, Micah was looking for you. In the staff lounge I think."

Emily watched the interplay between Cassandra and Tyra and spoke when Cassandra was out of hearing range, "What was that all about. Not past?"

Tyra shrugged, "Shouldn't we be, doctoring? Because, you know what will happen if Dr. Bandari catches us?"


"You- are ruining my reputation you know."

"Oh?" Kerry smiled as Gina looked down at Kerry's hand on her arm. Kerry jerked it away as if burned. "I'm so-" she trailed off and chuckled mostly to herself. "Full circle..."

Gina took a step towards Kerry, who tried to take a step back, but Gina caught her sleeve before the redhead could. "I didn't mean it like that Kerry. It was a joke, supposed to be humorous. Obviously it was not. How was your first shift at P/SL?"

"Well, this has confirmed for me that hospitals in Denver have the same patients as those in Miami and Chicago... so." Kerry paused, "You get off at...?"

"2 hours." Gina paused, "I- I don't have any plans for dinner if..."

Kerry regarded Gina for a moment, "My son..."

Gina's face cracked into just the hint of a smile, "Henry loves me more than you do Kerry."

Kerry narrowed her eyes at Gina, then smiled, "Yes, well, you are the one who brings him sweets, candy, and all sorts of things that are very bad for him. But..." Kerry glanced over at the blonde that sort of bore a passing resemblance to the actress Meryl Streep who had been watching their entire conversation. "...I understand the need for an attitude at work. A little Bandari-ing here and there."

"Bandari-ing?"

Kerry smirked, "Sort of like Weavering, but... not quite as good."

"Oh, not as good? I'll show you not as good." She pulled Kerry to her, and everyone and everything in the vicinity of the nurse's station came to a screeching halt as Gina kissed Kerry.

It seemed to go on and on, and the rest of the world fell away as they were lost in each other's arms. Finally Gina pulled back just a bit and met Kerry's eyes, "I'm not ashamed of you. I don't know what happened in your past. You can tell me after our dinner with your son, but... no matter how bad the gossip mill here is, I am not ashamed of you Kerry Weaver."

Kerry put a hand to Gina's cheek, "Thank you. Now..."

Gina kissed the tip of Kerry's nose and stepped backwards, her mask slipping back into place, "Yes. Back to work."

Kerry watched Gina walk away, and turned to the two nurses at the desk, "If she gets any crap about what just happened... Well, call up Dr. Lockhart at MGH, or Dr. Morris at County General in Chicago... she's a cuddly teddy bear compared to me."


Emily flopped down onto the couch in the staff's lounge with a chuckle. "Wow. You missed the... longest... kiss between red head and Dr. Bandari. Wow..."

"Long?"

"It felt... it felt like three minutes twenty four seconds?"

Tyra gave Emily a sideways look, "Uh, yeah, that's weirdly specific?"

Emily made a face, "Whatever. It was probably only a minute, but the looks on their faces afterwards." Emily waved her hand like a fan in front of her face. "I'd like to kiss Will like that..." Emily ducked as a pillow came flying her way, "What?"

Tyra shook her head, "For a suspected bisexual with the hashtag horndog, you are so, so straight."
