CANON SCENES – slightly twisted

Or how the original writers missed a thousand possibilities to hook Jack and Nathan up and how I corrected those mistakes

A EUReKA FANFICTION

AUTHOR: Djap

PAIRING: Nathan Stark x Jack Carter

GENRE: Romance, First Time, Collection of rewritten scenes

RATING: PG13

LANGUAGE: English

PART: 1 from 9

DISCLAIMER: I don't own the boys and I won't make any money with them. Pity.

DEDICATION: To any writer who ever wrote e redux-story for this fandom. Your stories made me try out something new with this piece and I just wanted to thank you by sharing this.

A/N: I took some scenes from the show and twisted them a little to amuse my slash-loving self. Every episode/chapter should be read as a standalone. I keep as close to the original dialogues as I can, altering the scenes only a little to give them a certain twist. Hope you enjoy. Some of the scenes have been repeatedly rewritten in the fandom and this is my interpretation of those scenes. Feel free to take my work and alter it again. I'd be delighted to read your versions.

WARNING: In the Episode 'Purple Haze' I replace Beverly with Nathan in her fight with Allison for comical reasons. If those two entering a physical fight squicks you, even if mean only to amuse and nobody gets seriously hurt, please just skip the chapter. Feel warned!

SO TAKE A GLASS OF WINE, LIE BACK AND ENJOY

SEASON 1, Episode 3: Many Happy Returns

JACK CARTER: So you met the new director yet?

ALLISON BLAKE: Not yet. He just arrived. Global Dynamics is under DARPA jurisdiction and they get a little crazy about sharing information. Hence our visit.

JACK CARTER: What's DARPA?

ALLISON BLAKE: The Defence Advanced Research Project Agency. It's the central research arm of the D.O.D.

JACK CARTER: So why am I here?

ALLISON BLAKE: Well you wanna use the new molecular bio-scanner on Susan Perkin's body and this new woman, right?

JACK CARTER: Maybe.

ALLISON BLAKE: All requests to use laboratory resources for police applications must be submitted to the Director of Research.

JACK CARTER: Who we haven't met yet.

ALLISON BLAKE: Exactly… Nathan?

NATHAN STARK: Allison. I swear I was just about to call you.

ALLISON BLAKE: What are you doing here? You're not…

NATHAN STARK: Afraid so.

ALLISON BLAKE: You're moving back to Eureka?

NATHAN STARK: Moved, actually. Yesterday. Same office, same house. Surprise. I probably should have called sooner.

ALLISON BLAKE: Probably.

NATHAN STARK: You must be the new sheriff. Nathan Stark.

JACK CARTER: Jack Carter. So, you two used to work together?

NATHAN STARK: I mainly worked with her son Kevin, but Allie and I had our moments.

JACK CARTER: Anyway. I was looking into something and I wanted to know if I could use your bio scanner-molecule-thingy.

NATHAN STARK: Of course. Anything I can do to help.

DOUGLAS FARGO: *clears his throat* Excuse me, Dr. NATHAN STARK. Maggie's taking care of your parking space and the new furniture will be delivered tomorrow.

NATHAN STARK: A lot to catch up on. Sheriff, it's been a pleasure. Allison… it's good to see you.

JACK CARTER: So you two have a history?

ALLISON BLAKE: You could say that.

JACK CARTER: What, ex-boyfriend?

ALLISON BLAKE: Not exactly.

JACK CARTER: Well, what exactly?

ALLISON BLAKE: He's my husband. But… *looks strangely at Jack*

JACK CARTER: But what?

ALLISON BLAKE: But soon-to-be-ex-husband. So he'll be free for you to hunt.

JACK CARTER: *sputters indignantly* What made you say that?

ALLISON BLAKE: *smirks* The way you looked at him. You were nearly drooling, JACK CARTER… *rolls her eyes*

JACK CARTER: *blushes* Was not.

ALLISON BLAKE: Were. And he noticed you right back, so go on, he likes to get chased.

JACK CARTER: Should you be talking that way about your husband?

ALLISON BLAKE *shrugs* We're over. For reasons. And he never made his bisexuality a secret. Although I have to say I didn't see it in you at first. But the way your brain just shut off… *leaves him standing, his mouth hanging open indignantly to stew about this information*

ALLISON BLAKE: That's why you collapsed? An electrolyte imbalance?

NATHAN STARK: I'm just telling you, what the doctor's told me.

ALLISON BLAKE: And they have no idea what caused it?

NATHAN STARK: Yes, my electrolytes are out of balance.

ALLISON BLAKE: Oh, Nathan.

NATHAN STARK: Don't worry, I'm fine.

ALLISON BLAKE: Who said I was worried?

NATHAN STARK: Wishful thinking.

JACK CARTER: Clears his throat. Susan Perkins is asking for you. Henry told her about the whole uber-clone thing

ALLISON BLAKE: I have to go deal with this.

NATHAN STARK: I don't think I'm going anywhere.

ALLISON BLAKE: Come on.

NATHAN STARK: Sheriff? Talk to you for a sec?

JACK CARTER: Sure. Yeah, ok. I'll catch up.

ALLISON BLAKE: Ok. *leaves them alone, smirking at Jack knowingly*

NATHAN STARK: How you doing, sheriff? *stands up from the bed*

JACK CARTER: Pretty good. Shouldn't you be staying in bed?

NATHAN STARK: No, I'm getting back to work. I didn't wanna say anything with Allison still in the room. *starts dressing, making a show of it, wearing a speculative look in the eyes*

JACK CARTER: *blinks, stares and blushes* I think you got the wrong impression.

NATHAN STARK: I saw something. Something I'd like to keep between us?

JACK CARTER: Oh. Oh, ok.

NATHAN STARK: There was an electrical problem with the computers. *keeps dressing* And then I saw something. A figure.

JACK CARTER: Are you saying someone was in your office?

NATHAN STARK: Not someone. Something. It wasn't entirely corporeal.

JACK CARTER: Corporeal?

NATHAN STARK: Physical. There and not there at the same time?

JACK CARTER: Are you saying you saw a ghost?

NATHAN STARK: Sheriff. Director of research at the most advanced scientific facility in the world doesn't see ghosts.

JACK CARTER: *silly grin* No. Yeah. I'll check it out. *turns to leave, hands in his pockets*

NATHAN STARK: Thanks. So you sleeping with her?

JACK CARTER: *turns around again* Excuse me? O.O

NATHAN STARK: You said I've gotten the wrong impression. I assumed you were talking about my wife. Not that I have any right to ask.

JACK CARTER: You're right, you don't.

NATHAN STARK: You're not. But you'd like to.

JACK CARTER: *blushes but keeps his ground* I'd be dead not to.

NATHAN STARK: *grins* But you'd also like to sleep with me.

JACK CARTER: *stares astonished* You talked to Allison?

NATHAN STARK: Didn't need to. You were checking me out all the time even when my shirt was back on.

JACK CARTER: You'd wish *shakes his head and leaves*

NATHAN STARK: *finally alone, finishes with his tie and murmurs to himself, whistling* Oh, I don't have to, my dear sheriff. You wish. And I think we can do something about that.
