Today was just like any normal day at the office, Jane trying to catch the bad guys while Maura worked in the solitary of her morgue. She didn't mind it thought, trying to fit in with other people always took a lot of energy out of her.
She liked dissecting people, it gave her the ability to know them without boundaries, the dead can never pretend to be something that their not and surly they could never betray her in any kind of way. Today is quit slow, she had only one autopsy to perform and some paper works to go through. She took her time and worked very slowly trying to kill the extra time she had. That didn't work, even at her half speed she managed to complete her work before lunch time.
She tried calling Jane, but she kept getting her voicemail. Maura took off her lap cot and headed up stairs. As the elevator doors opened, all she saw was a man running toward her with a knife in his hand and Jane running behind him. She didn't have time to think about anything at all.
Make it in time make it in time is all that Jane thought off when she caught a glimpse of Maura in the elevator and she could feel her pulse ringing in her ears. "Mauraaa!" she screamed and all she could think about is oh gad oh gad, this is not good.
the next thing anyone saw was the suspect lying flat on his back wincing in pain and Maura standing with the knife in her hand. Maura didn't move she kept staring at the knife in her hand. Two cops came and took the suspect as he was yelling "fucking bitch, she broke my wriest. You saw that right? I want to file charges". "It's called self defense asshole" Jane yelled back annoyed.
Jane focused on Maura who was still holding the knife "Maura?"
Maura blinked as if she just realized were she was, she raised her head smiling and said " looks like you have your hands full here. I thought we could go have lunch, oh well call me when you have time" she handed Jane the knife and reentered the elevator.
"where the hell did that come from?" Korsak said amazed at Maura`s fast refluxes.
"I have no Idea" Jane chuckled and when back to work. There was no way in hell she was letting this thing go, she was going to be free in fifteen minutes even if it meant that making frost doing her job.
As Maura reached the morgues door, she had a hard time controlling her breathing what was that Maura? It's been years since your last training. You have closed that chapter of your life a long time ago and it will not open again. Calm down, you're ok nothing happened. What do you mean nothing happened everyone saw what you just did! A rush of adrenalin would cause things like this right? I could say it was just the adrenalin. Calm down calm down, breath.
"Hey Maura, guess what?"
"You know I don't guess Jane, what is it?"
"I've just found time to go for lunch, come on let's go!" Jane tried sounding as much excited as she could. Maura hesitated first but said yes.
The meal was silent with a few Chet chat here and there "soo Maura, I was meaning to ask you, where did you get that badass move?" Jane stopped eating and looked at Maura.
"An adrenalin rush could make people do a lot of things" Maura replied quietly and continued eating.
Jane crossed her arms "but that was not one of them, people train hard for these kind of moves"
"so?" Maura was still playing dumb. Jane knew what Maura was doing, she always did this when she didn`t want to answer
"sooo, did you?"
" Did I what?" Maura was eating and keeping her sight on her plate.
"Did you or did you not train for that move?"
"I did and please stop integrating me" Maura said quietly annoyed.
"But….but I gave you defensive classes".
"I can't see what does this have to do with our conversation" Maura narrowed her eyes at Jane.
"You could have at least told me instead of making me look like a fool trying to teach you basis you already know".
Maura wiped her lips with her Napkin "Well, first of all you did not ask if I knew them. Second, you offered and I accepted because I like spending time with you" Maura smiled at Jane causing Jane to smile back
"I like spending time with you too…. But don't think your over the hock yet misse" Jane pointed a finger at Maura making them both giggle.
Later that week, Jane and Maura were enjoying a quiet evening at Maura`s house. Jane was picking at some threads in her shirt "So there must`ve been a reason for you to learn those defensive move".
Maura sipped her wine" actually most of my 'moves' are offensive not defensive" Maura smiled and hid her laugh as she saw Jane`s face ,she knew that Jane was not going to let it go .
she refilled her wine glass and sat next to a very eager Jane on the sofa . "There was another family before the isles, the greens" Jane opened her mouth to say something but Maura raised her hand and said "I know, I know. Just let me continue then you can say all the jokes you have" seeing Jane nodding Maura continued
"they were very different from the isles, they were worm and caring for one another. I had an older brother; he was seven years older than me. He could do anything and I wanted to be just like him, to this family Physical and mental ability were very important. I studied, I tainted hard to try to catch up to him, but I never did. I was with them until I was 8 years old, then something happen and I became isles. I kept training even after that because I kept hoping to find him when I grow up, but i never did and that's it" Maura smiled at Jane and shrugged.
"I can find him if you like?" Jane offered
"NOOOO" sensing what she just did Maura smiled "no need"
