Thanks guys for the reviews. Here's a bit of fluff before the confrontation. I can't decide whether to bring Cho in the confrontation or not.


Lisbon fell asleep on Jane, halfway through the second film. He looked down at her and thought she looked adorable. She was like a little kitten with her fingers grasping and letting go of his shirt in slow rhythm. Even her snores sounded like she was purring.

He desperately wanted to think of ways to punish Marcus. But having Lisbon in his arms was making his head all fuzzy. Seriously every time he tried to think of a plan, Lisbon either snuggled further into him or sighed. It was a lovely feeling. But, he knew that the fantasy would have to end sometime.

Yes, he loved her, but he was still unsure whether Lisbon loved him or not. He knew that she had feelings for him whilst working together at the FBI, but since he came back, she seemed to have managed to move on from him.

But, the thing that made him giddy was the thought that she came to him after her altercation with Pike, not to anyone else. That must mean something somehow. Was she embarrassed that she was assault by her so called boyfriend, well ex boyfriend. Probably. Did she know that he would keep her safe? Nah, she always could take care of herself. So the only scenario left. was that she came to him for some comfort. That was fine by him. He could shower her with gifts and restart bringing her coffees and pastries, and even taking her out for lunch because she forgot.

He loved doing all those things for her but stopped when she started to date Agent Asshole, woops, Special Agent Marcus Pike. I guess he did it because he saw how Pike reacted to him. Jane could see that he was an extremely jealous man that was constantly paranoid in relationships. He warned Lisbon of his cold reading of the guy, not because he thought that her choice of men is horrible. But because he was trying to avoid what happened today in the bullpen.

Seriously that man needed to take a chill pill, but now Jane thought that the guy deserves a cyanide pill. Disgusting creature of a man to hit a woman. In a perfect scenario, Jane wants to paralyse Pike and slowly take out his organs, one by one, maybe starting with the liver.

Jane glanced at watch and saw it was around 1am, Not really too late, but he was sure that Lisbon would get a sore neck lying on him at an awkward angle for hours on end. He tried to wiggle out from underneath Lisbon but she kept moaning her protests.

"Teresa?" he whispered, "we've got to get up."

"No,"

"Yes sweetheart, you need to move to the bed."

"No, I'm comfy" she remarked as she buried her face into his neck.

"I know, but the bed is comfier and you'll have a better sleep on it.."

"hmmm," was her only reply as she let Jane pull her to her feet and walked her to his bed. Jane would have loved to share the bed with her. But, it wouldn't be right.

"I'll be right out here if you need me," Jane said to Lisbon as he was about to leave her to her own devices. He had just made it to the door when she called his name. He slowly turned around to meet her eyes.

She suddenly looked shy all of a sudden and look to her left. "Jane... ermmm... Could I possibly.. could I... Oh forget it!"

"No, what do you want, my dear." Jane replied softly.

"Please forget what I said"

"No please Teresa, just tell me what you need." He said firmly.

"Could I possibly borrow something to sleep in? It's just... I didn't stop by my house and my gym bag is at the office."

"Sure, Lisbon." he said as moved towards his wardrobe and brought out one of his shirts. "I'm sorry, I don't seem to have anything else."

"No, thanks Jane, it's perfect" she said as she took the shirt of him. Anything was better than having to sleep in something that smelt of your own blood.

"I'll leave to get changed and sleep, I'll see you, bright and early." Jane picked up some spare pillows and blankets and headed towards the couch.

It was after an hour or so that Lisbon came back into his living room and woke Jane up. "Jane..." She whispered.

"Whats wrong!" Jane shot up.

"Ermm, could you possibly come share the bed with me. I know this sounds stupid, but I can't sleep and I think I may feel a bit safer with you nearer me."

"Of course." He replied. He then followed her into his bedroom and climbed into the opposite side to her and laid down. "Is this any better?" he remarked. The only reply was a sigh. As Jane fell asleep, he felt Lisbon reach out and grab one of his hands and held it in between two of hers.

Outside the Airstream, Pike sat in his SUV and observed what was happening in there. "That lying bitch," he remarked, "She's gonna pay for that!"
