A/N: I've decided to postpone the subplot I hinted at in the author's note in the last chapter. It'll come at the beginning of Season 6.
Myka and Pete had just finished putting the blade from the guillotine on the shelf. They were arguing, as usual.
"You know, Pete, sometimes I just don't get you."
"You mean how my hair is so full and silky smooth?"
"No, what I don't get is your inability to follow protocol. They're there for a reason, Pete."
"Let me guess... as an excuse for uptight people to annoy me?"
"I'm not uptight!"
Some of the artifacts began to emit sparks. Pete and Myka continued arguing.
"Well, at least I don't quote Archer for no apparent reason!"
"And when did I do that?"
"Does the term 'danger zone' ring a bell?"
"Ha, see, I made you say it."
The sparks got bigger, which alerted Artie in his office. He spoke over the loudspeaker to them.
"Watch your negative energy... guys..." Artie said cautiously.
The two agents kept arguing. Artie pressed a button, and a showerhead sprayed neutralizer on Pete and Myka.
There was an awkward silence between the two for a moment.
"So, about that shower fantasy..." Pete said casually. He was referring to the shower fantasy Myka had told Artie about while working on the isotone case. Little did Pete know, Myka also told Artie not to tell him about it.
"What shower fantasy?"
"Probably nothing. Let's go get our mission, before you start punching me or something." Myka grinned, mostly because a few minutes earlier, she wanted to do just that.
