Sorry! I know it's been a while, but I had to work, and then I broke my computer so I needed to work some more to pay for it to get fixed!


"All I'm saying is that you could try being a little nicer to the civilians on board," Lt. Scott said as he and Sgt. Greer walked into the Mess to get their food.

"What are you talking about?" Greer asked picking up his bowl of...well it sort of looked like porridge, "I'm plenty nice to the civilians, I haven't shot anyone yet."

Scott snorted in amusement, "Yeah, that's why whenever we get close to any of the scientists they all stop whatever they're talking about and stare at you until you pass by."

"That's not true," Greer replied to his friend.

"Seriously? Name me one civilian that doesn't walk in the opposite direction when they see you, better yet, go and sit with a civilian that won't run away from you!"

Greer sneered at Scott, "Fine," he spun on his heel and searched the Mess for someone that he could sit with.

After about a minute Scott cleared his throat and raised an eyebrow in amusement, "Having trouble there dude?"

Greer fought the urge to deck his superior when he spotted Lexi chatting animatedly with Dr Park, the two hadn't spoken since their time locked up in her rooms so he hesitated for a moment. Shrugging it off he stalked over to their table with Lt Scott following him quickly, "May we join you?" he asked startling the women from their conversation.

Lexi looked up when she heard his gravely tone and smiled "Well speak of the devil! Please sit, I was just telling Cass here all about our poker game the other day."

"Cass?" Greer asked.

"What poker game?" Lt Scott asked in confusion.

"Right, Sergeant, Lieutenant, this is Lieutenant Cassandra Reins, my best friend, Dr Park is on Earth visiting family. And I mean the strip poker game we had in my room, did Greer not tell you? I was so disappointed when I found that he doesn't go commando under those fatigues." She gave Greer a cheeky grin and Lt Scott choked on his drink.

"Dude you had a poker game, with a hot girl without me?"

Greer shot Lexi a glare and turned to face Scott, "You have a girlfriend," he shrugged at his friend.

"Damn girl I would have loved to be there to see that! Wait, how many clothes did you get Lexi to take off?" Cassie asked with a grin, she could have sworn she saw a slight blush on the Sergeant's face.

"Yeah dude from what it sounds like you didn't win a single hand, since when has that happened?" Scott asked.

"I got her top off," Greer defended himself and eyed the girl in question.

Lexi flushed as he raked his eyes over her and whispered something to her best friend causing the girl to laugh, "Is your guy supposed to be a card shark or something?" Cassie asked Lt Scott.

"Or something," the Lieutenant replied wryly.

"She cheated!" Greer maintained between bites of his food.

"You stacked the deck?" Cassie asked incredulously, the only time Lexi would cheat was after she'd had a few drinks and was coerced into it by her friends.

"He called me scared," Lexi defended taking a sip of water.

"So am I to believe the condoms I packed for you are being used?"Cassie asked expectantly and Lexi's eyes widened as she tried not cough up her drink.

"What?" she squeaked and Greer chuckled.

Lt Scott shot Cassie a curious look, "Condoms?"

"It's like an industrial sized box," Greer supplied grinning at the embarrassment on the young Doctor's face. Before Lexi could say anything he continued, "And I guess from what I saw last, it's not been used."

"Lex!" Cassie admonished, "I bought you the condoms so you could have some fun! Not let them expire."

"You see this?" Lexi asked Greer, "You see what you just did? Now I'm not gonna get anything but 'why aren't you getting laid?' from her for the rest of her stay. Thanks, really."

"Whoa, wait a minute, you're telling me that you have an industrial sized box of condoms that aren't getting used?" Scott turned to Greer and lowered his voice, "Dude you know Chloe isn't sleeping with me because of the lack of 'protection' on this ship! How could you not tell me about this?"

"Guess it also slipped my mind," the stoic sergeant shrugged, in truth he hadn't wanted Matt to know about them, Greer figured that they'd be on Destiny for a while and a large supply would go a long way to relieving his tension when needed, so sue him, he was a guy.

"Uh, so Lexi," Lt Scott started, "You don't think you could uh...give me a few...?" he finished with a puppy dog look that Lexi found hard to resist.

She hesitated for a moment before sighing "I guess a few wouldn't hurt, just come by my room and pick them up.


A few days later Lexi lay back on her bed and sighed, Lt. Scott had come by three times asking for condoms and somehow it had gotten around to everybody else on the ship that she had a supply and now other people were asking her for 'protection' in short she was not happy. It had only been six months for crying out loud, how was it that everyone was hooking up with everyone else, and she couldn't even get the Master Sergeant Ronald Greer to give her a second glance? Growling when her door chime rung again and stomped to the door, as it slid open she narrowed her eyes dangerously at the airman standing before her.

"Hey Dr Delagdo!" he grinned sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck, "I was wondering, you know since you have some spare, could I maybe have a few you know-"

"Condoms?" Lexi finished and he nodded slightly his smile drooping as he heard her tone of voice. Lexi was fuming, in the back of her mind she knew she was being irrational but damn it, if one more person got laid before her, she was going to punch somebody. "You know what?" she hissed, "No, no, no, hell fucking no! And you better spread the word, no one on this fucking ship is getting any more of my stash when I'm not getting LAID!" she finished off with a yell.

The airman who was growing more and more alarmed during her little outburst practically fled when the last word flew out of Lexi's mouth. Screw getting laid, he was never going near that woman again! Lexi covered her eyes with a shaky hand taking a moment to compose herself, when she removed it, there stood the reason for her very predicament looking incredibly amused.

"You know you didn't have to make him shit himself, a simple 'no' would have sufficed."

"Oh fuck you Greer."

"I think," he started, moving towards her with an almost predatory gleam in his eye, "I'd rather do the fucking."

Lexi's eyes widened and flew to his "Wha-"

But before she could finish her question, she was being pushed back into her room by the Master Sergeant as his lips covered hers.
