Author's note: this wasn't a prompt per se, but a comment on Dashes and Dots did inspire this.
"I have no idea how you caught up with him, but you caught one of the most notorious cyber-terrorists of the 21st century Annie. Good job," Joan shook her head.
Annie just grinned.
"The FBI will take over from here, your reports are done, I think we can call it a night," Joan glanced at the clock which reflected 2:24 a.m.
"Are you sure you don't need a medic?" Joan cringed as she looked at Annie's bloodied knee.
"I'm OK. Auggie will clean it up for me," the operative assured despite her shaky voice.
Joan smiled, Annie and Auggie had been a formidable pair since day 1, but now they were unstoppable. The new aspect of their relationship, instead of fracturing their work life, had enhanced it. Joan didn't think it was possible for them to read one another better than before, but they did.
"OK, he's still here by the way," Joan pointed towards the drawn blinds.
"I figured," Annie smiled and stood wincing at the pain in her knee.
Annie wished Joan a good night and limped down to Tech Ops cursing another perfectly good pair of pants ruined in the line of duty.
"I need a wardrobe budget," she sighed as she slid the door to the deserted Tech Ops division open.
"You alright?" Auggie swiveled around to her.
"Yes," she sighed and nodded and dropped into his lap all at once.
Joan opened the blinds as she packed up and could see Annie sitting in Auggie's lap, their gentle kiss as he ran his hands over her body looking for additional hidden injuries. It was a sweet gesture, he was always so careful with her.
"Really just your knee?" he asked after he had done a quick assessment.
"Really, but it is a bit of a mess. Not stitches bad, but kind of gross," she laughed.
"I can handle gross, especially since I can't actually see it."
She leaned in and kissed him again, the adrenaline of the whole night finally hitting her. She deepened the kiss and he held her closer. He was conscious of her injured knee so he slid his hand up her thigh to avoid the affected part of her leg and the result was a jolt of desire that passed from her to him instantly.
Annie reached for Auggie's loosened tie and began unbuttoning his shirt as he slid his hands further up to her waist and then under her suit jacket.
Joan had finally wrapped everything up and was locking her office when she glanced back down to Tech Ops. The sweet and gentle scene from earlier had been replaced with something from Cinemax, she laughed and made her way down to dump some cold water on them.
"I thought I said go home," Joan announced from the doorway trying to avert her eyes.
The 2 entangled operatives froze, their lips still attached.
"Maybe I said make out in the middle of the DPD, but that doesn't sound like me," Joan grinned.
"Sorry," Annie found her voice first and grinned sheepishly.
"Can you drive with that?" she indicated the knee.
Annie nodded as Auggie stayed stoically silent.
"Good night then," Joan waved and was gone.
The End
