Summary: Her hand is calloused and small. His hand is smooth and large. It's a perfect fit.
In which Bartie toughens up, Virginia needs rescuing, and ass is kicked.
Author's Notes: Part 3 of 6. Takes place in Operation S.L.U.M.B.E.R. The fight scene is total bull, since I was not going to watch an entire episode again just for about a hundred words.
He's fighting a teen, she's fighting a teen and Bartie has to hold back a wild laugh because this is the most fun he's had in ages. Kick and punch, roll and duck- he's lucky not to have lost bone mass in space. Virginia is mirroring his moves on the other side of the platform as the battle rages and he spares a glance- and some teen must have gotten lucky because she's falling-falling-falling.
Bartie sprints across the platform and grabs her hand (small, calloused) in his (large, smooth) and thinks, "perfect fit". Virginia gives him a relieved grin, and it's like they connect and that moment, and next thing you know Bartie's swung her up and around to let her deliver a solid kick to the nearest teen's jaw.
"Let's be friends," she said when the battle was over.
And you know what? They were still holding hands.
