A/N - Complete this scene:
The tap-tap of heels heralded Jenna's arrival on the flight deck of the Liberator. Hastily, Avon cleared the display on his terminal and, as a cover for his guilt, went on the attack.
"You're late."
Sweet
The tap-tap of heels heralded Jenna's arrival on the flight deck of the Liberator. Hastily, Avon cleared the display on his terminal and, as a cover for his guilt, went on the attack.
"You're late."
He stalked off, not deigning to wait for her reply. Jenna resisted the urge to poke her tongue out at his retreating back and then turned her attention to his console. What was he up to now?
She fiddled around with commands and settings while her mind explored possibilities. A bolthole was the most probable – he'd made no secret of his wish to leave. And because she was irritated with him, less charitable thoughts crossed her mind; he was selling them out, he was sabotaging the systems. These thoughts fuelled her anger and she imagined even more sinister and increasingly improbable scenarios, her hands working furiously on the keys.
More through luck than skill, the terminal suddenly came to life.
Jenna's brow furrowed as she took in the elegant script that scrolled across the screen. "Vintage Delights" the words declared and now her imaginings were taking a stroll down a rather salacious side street. After all, exactly what 'delights' would an uptight alpha male with a taste for leather indulge in? It would be just like him to use the guise of 'vintage' to add a pretentious air to something more sordid.
Curiosity now raging, Jenna selected the 'most recent indulgence' option and steeled herself against what secrets it might reveal.
"Delicious!" the screen screamed as a plethora of neon-bright strangely organic shapes cascaded down the viewer. Bemused, Jenna searched for more information.
"Candy Crush – the twenty-first century craze that had everyone from politicians to the proletariat addicted."
Jenna smiled with a malicious delight that was far from vintage, but nevertheless harked back to ancient times.
"Sweet!"
