Misbehavior

"doctor holiday!" Rex shouts startling the scientist to the point of let out a surprised yelp. the boy quickly hides behind her as the automatic door hisses open once more this time revealing a very pissed off Captain Calan.

"where is he? I saw that little punk run in here-." he stops mid rant to greet the lovely doctor, who has very confused look on her face. "oh hello Dr. Holiday… I'm just…" he spots the boy clutching her lab coat acting the part of the victim. " There you are!" the blond man shouts , the boy sticks out his tongue as the captain tries to assault him only to be stopped by holiday.

"Captain might I ask why you're attempting to harm my patient?" she demands in a stern and protecting voice, her posture over the boy is now maternal and protective. Rex grins cheekily, he's safe and there's nothing the captain can do to him here.

"he completely trashed the briefing room playing extreme tag with the monkey! He also ruined two computers and broke 4 chairs!" the captain exclaimed furiously. The doctor had a completely calm look on her face but inside she was fuming.

"Rex." Her no longer gentle voice calls… the preteen knew he was dead... but at least it would be by the hands of Dr. Holiday and not that jerk Calan. The captain smirks knowing that the punishment awaiting the kid was worse than anything he could come up with.

"Yes ma'am?" The boy replies softly. She glares at him but sighs trying to contain her anger.

"is what the captain just said true?" she asks meeting his eyes, reminding herself his puppy dog pout was just a façade. He looks away from her searching eyes and shuffles uncomfortably.

"it's not like that-

"I asked a yes or no question, not your opinion! Now is what Calan said true?" she replies her rebuking voice startling the child.

"its called extreme tag for a reason." The boy replied in a hushed manner, the doctor sighs heavily.

"Calan I'll take it from here." She says rubbing her temples. Yup a headache was definitely coming.

"if you're sure Dr. Holiday." The man replies, she nods. He gives the boy one last glare and heads outside. A strong silence consumes the room as the hissing doors close. She sits down and pinches the bridge of her nose in a mix of frustration and sorrow. Rex rubs his arm awkwardly, he knows she's mad, he knows she's angry but he also knows she'll forgive him.

"rex… what went through your mind when you did something like that?" she demands. He fidgets with his finger avoiding her eyes.

"rex answer me." she demands. He stands up straight after hearing her harsh tone.

"I dunno… it was just game … I thought it be fun." He admits in a weak and frail voice.

"So you think it's fun to break things that people work very hard to build." She scolds. He looks down at his feet, wallowing in guilt.

"no ma'am." He replies barely above a whisper, the good doctor wants sympathize but knows she can't just bend the rules for every little caprice he has.

"or let me guess you think it's fun to make me write a report on your behavior and have to punish you." she continues reminding herself it's for his benefit, that the only way he'll learn is if she's tough. He looks up at her with a gazed that was pleading forgiveness.

"no."he replies softly. She melts for half a second but composes herself quickly.

"then why? You know you're on thin ice and yet you still-

"I just wanted to play a game! Doc I'm so sick and tired of combat training and tutors and all this stupid stuff! When do I get to do what I want! When do I get to have fun!" he counters, his eyes pleading her to understand.

"Rex… I-." she sighs heavily as every consoling phrase she can think of is a lie. "Rex having fun is fine but ruining a briefing room is too much and you know it. You're almost thirteen Rex, a full fledge teenager, and it's time to start acting like the responsible young man I know you are." She explains putting a hand on his shoulder. He nods obediently.

She smiles as his eyes brighten up slightly, His sweet little eyes, it tore her up inside to know everyday a small strip of joy and innocence was ripped from his unbridled gaze.

"are you sorry for what you did?" she asks hoping he'd at least learned his lesson. He nods in agreement.

"I didn't mean to total the place… it just sorta happened." He replied understanding his acts were blameworthy. "but I'll help fix it doc, and I really am sorry." He really was, he just hopes the doctor can see it. she softly pats his head. He blushes and she retrieves her hand hoping not give the boy a wrong impression.

"I know it's frustrating being trapped and controlled in this place but just hold out a little longer… it gets easier with time and promise I'll always be here for you." she declares to child, she wishes he could be free, that he could be outside laughing and playing like normal children… but wishing can only do so much.

"I know doc." He replies reassuring her he knows she's on his side. She gives him a smile but it's a sad and withered one, he looks up at her in concern.

"Rex you know what I have to do, don't you?" she states looking at him with sadden eyes. He closes his own and sighs… it was inevitable he supposed.

"yeah… I know." He replies grudgingly. He should've known better than to run straight to her office but some how the idea of being with doctor holiday just made everything feel okay.

"we both knew it was coming." She says standing up from her chair and heading towards the screen communicator. Swiftly she types her access code and is immediately patch through to her partner.

"Six, it's holiday…" she hesitatingly beckons.

"what is it? I'm in a meeting." His cold gruff voice answers. She narrows her eyes offended by his response. Rex rolls his eyes leave it to six to be complete jerk to the cutest girl in providence.

"it's about rex, he got in to a bit of trouble." She replies hoping she's phrased the dilemma carefully. The agent's expressionless face turns into a very annoyed scowl.

"define a bit?" he replies in an irritated voice.

"well no one was hurt and nothing irreplaceable was broken… so… I think on a scale of one to ten it's a five." She said in slight optimism. The agent let out a heavy sigh and holiday winces at the sound of it.

"I'll be there in 15 minutes holiday, and I don't care if all he did was draw on the walls he's old enough know what's going to happen, I don't need to waste my breath with a lecture, we're punishing him my way this time."

"it' really isn't that ba-" she paused, it was that bad but she had say something "… it wasn't a jet this time." she states trying to put the boy in a good light.

"holiday… you're not helping." The agent states before signing off. She glares at the screen long after the transmission ends.

"jerk." She mutters in a hushed voice. The boy chuckles at her expression, she smiles.

"don't tell him I said that." She shushes jokingly, the boy grins. "Even though knowing him, he somehow already heard it." she adds comically, Rex nods, he didn't call Six a "ninja in a suit" for nothing.

"how bad you think it's gonna be?" the boy asks damping the mood with seriousness. She gives him a hopeful smile.

"Six can be gentle when he wants to be-." She stops when the boy shoots her an incredulous look.

"are you talking about the same man that made me run 4 laps around the petting zoo when I spilt my apple juice during a morning briefing?" rex quips. He had her there, six may have had a heart… but he sure made it hard to believe.

"to be fair you spilt it on his 20 page report." She defends, though she has no idea why. Perhaps it was just her infatuation with the agent that made her defensive of him. rex, however reminds her he was only 11 at the time, and it had clearly been an accident.

"I know it was accident but still." She sighs. "look just let me do the talking and whatever you do don't try to defend yourself, you own up to it like a man would, he'll respect you for it."

"if you say so Doc." He replies resignedly. They both wait for the inevitable hissing of the automatic doors. Eventually it comes and the doors reveal a very unhappy agent. Rex leans in closer to the doctor.

"if he kills me I just want you to know you're the hottest chick in the universe and tell Bobo, he cannot have my computer… I want to be buried with it." the boy whispers comically .a last ditch effort to bring joy back into the room. The doctor gives him a pat on head but cannot muster a smile under the scrutinizing gaze of her partner. The boy clutches her hand like a lifeline, he's not scared but he is upset, he knew six was going to nothing but rant about how selfish and stupid he was and though he'd never admit out loud… it hurt to hear it.

She gave his hand reassuring squeeze reminding him of her promise… she'd always be there for him… and she meant it. The agent whips them back into the real world with his cold voice.

"what happened?" he demanded. And with those two words the war for Rex's freedom began.
