A/N: This story has undoubtedly been done before, but this is my version of what would happen if Parker met Nana.

First impressions only mattered when you were planning on sticking around, and that was a concept Parker was still getting used to. Staying stagnant wasn't exactly first nature to a thief like her. But then she'd found people that were worth it; then she'd found Hardison.

"Who will I be playing?" The question came suddenly.

"What's that, baby girl?"

"Who will I be playing?" Parker repeated.

Hardison frowned, reluctant to break his focus from the road. He hated to admit it, but the way to Nana's house had become less familiar after almost a year of delayed visits. "What do you mean?" He said finally.

"Alice White, Agent Hagen, Rose…"

Hardison frowned as Parker rattled off aliases. "You'll be you. You'll be perfect," he answered carefully, aware of her anxiety.

"But, what if…" Parker hesitated- something she rarely did, "what if she doesn't like me?"

She thought it'd be fun; meeting Hardison's foster mother, finding out where he came from. But that was before she put herself in the equation. That was before she cared.

"She'll love you," Hardison insisted. "I love you. She loves me," he added when she didn't respond, "she'll love you."

Parker fidgeted, even more uncomfortable than before the pep talk. Hardison had said he'd loved her before, so that didn't bother her- what bothered Parker was the fact that she couldn't see to say it back. "You missed the turn," was all that she could manage as she fiddled with the GPS.

"Shortcut," Hardison explained simply. He paused, trying to think of a way to get his point across. "Do you know how nervous I was about meeting Archie?"

"You were nervous?" Parker asked, though she had picked up on the amount of stuttering during that event.

"Of course I was! Dude's a badass international thief with an electric cane-" He smirked, remembering how effective that cane had been on Chaos, "and the world's coolest daughter."

Parker smiled at his obvious attempt to flatter her. "Archie said he approved of you," she mentioned.

The GPS dinged, signifying that they had approached their destination and Hardison shifted the car into park. "And if a guy like Archie approves of a geek like me, Nana will love you."

Parker bit her lip, still not entirely convinced.

The hacker unsnapped his seat belt and leaned over the center console to kiss her on the forehead. "You'll do fine, mama," he promised.

With a deep breath and cautious confidence, Parker finally opened the door.

This is basically a two part one-shot (A two shot?), which is why it's so short. I'm putting the first part up here in an attempt to stop myself from giving up and deleting what I've written so far. I have little confidence when it comes to fanfiction- especially one of a show with such perfect characters.

Sorry for the crap grammar and story flow. I'm a big rusty at writing. Please review- if only to tell me how terribly cliché this is.

Peace,
