(Five-O Headquarters)

(Danny's P.O.V.)

Why?

Oh, why is this happening to me?

I was now sitting at my desk, in my Office. My head in my hands.

I came straight in here, after I learned that Emma will NOT only be moving here, but WORKING here as well.

I know Grace loves her and everything, but, I could REALLY do without her.

Her moving here wasn't the issue.

It was having to work with her I had a problem with.

I can only imagine what was going to happen.

I lifted my head from my hands just in time to see Steve opening the door to my office.

Steve came in, letting the door close behind him.

"Danno, I-" Steve began as he looked at me.

But he stopped talking once he saw me.

"What's up with you?" He asked.

"Why didn't you tell me your sister was moving here?" I asked.

Steve shrugged.

"I thought you knew." He said.

"No." I said. "No, I didn't know. You also didn't tell me she was going to be working here either."

"Ok, that I KNOW I told you." Steve said.

"No you didn't." I said. "You didn't say one word about Emma the entire week she was gone."

"Yes I have." Steve said.

"Obviously not to me." I pointed out to him.

"Danny, what's the big deal?" Steve asked. "So, Emma moved here, and is now working with us. I don't see the problem with it."

"Of course you don't." I said. "You're her brother. You act JUST like her. All of you McGarrett's do."

"I told you, we're not alike." He said.

"And I told you, I will be the judge of that." I said. "And I have nothing to prove otherwise."

Steve rolled his eyes.

"Look, I want you to take Emma and your car and go riding around." He said.

"Why?" I asked confused.

"I need you two to get to know each other more." Steve said. "Have more trust in each other. I don't want there to be any flaws all because two members of the team aren't as close as everyone else."

"You're kidding, right?" I asked.

Steve just stared at me.

"Two people who are working together can still work together efficiently if they aren't as close as everyone else." I pointed out to him.

"But it can still cause problems." Steve said. "I don't want that and I'm sure you don't either."

…He's got me there.

"Why do you seem against spending time with her?" He asked.

"Really?" I asked. "Does the last name McGarrett and the words 'danger magnet' mean anything to you?"

Steve glared at me.

"Just spend time with her." Steve said. In a tone that suggested it was an order.

Then, Steve turned around, opened the door, and left my office.

I sighed.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

It was quiet as I drove.

Emma and I left Five-O Headquarters about ten minutes ago to "bond".

Neither one of us have said anything so far.

Honestly, I didn't know what to say to her. I didn't even know what to ask.

I mean, where do I begin?

"So, how's Grace?" I heard Emma ask, breaking the slowly eating me alive silence.

"She's good." I said. Then I hesitated before adding: "She misses you."

"….She does?" I heard Emma ask, sounding surprised.

"Yeah." I said. "She loves you."

"I love her too." I heard Emma say. "She's a sweet girl."

"She is." I said, smiling a little.

For some reason, what Emma said, made me happy.

It felt like I was glad she approved of Grace.

The only other time I was glad someone approved of Grace was-

Yeah, different situation, I thought to myself. Doesn't count, Danny.

It was silent between Emma and I again.

I never wanted a silence to end so much in my life.

"So….." I began. "Since you're going to be here now, I would like to take this time and tell you the rules."

"Rules?" I heard Emma ask, a hint of amusement in her voice.

"Yes, rules." I said.

"Are rules really necessary?" I heard Emma ask.

"Rules are VERY necessary." I said. "Especially since it's you."

"What is that suppose to mean?" I heard Emma ask.

I pulled over to the side of the road, parked the car, and looked at her.

"You, my dear, are a McGarrett." I said.

"Point?" Emma asked.

"Your family, is nothing but chaos." I explained to her. "You're all alike in some way, shape, or form. You all attract danger anywhere you go."

"I'll grant you the 'chaos' and 'some way, shape or form' bit." She began. "But the 'attracting danger anywhere we go'…Not true."

"How so?" I asked.

"We're all cops except Mary." Emma said. "Danger is what we do. Especially when most of the family has been in the army, or the marines, or is a Navy SEAL. It's in our blood."

"So, you're proving my point of you being a danger magnet?" I asked.

"The point I'm trying to prove to you is that we don't go looking for danger." She said.

"But you are a danger magnet?" I asked.

Emma sighed, and rolled her eyes.

"If you're concerned about Grace, she will be just fine." Emma said. "Just like she has been when we are together. I can even guarantee that every day you will be going back home to her."

"Ok." I said as I gave her a somewhat of a nod.

"Anything else?" She asked.

"Yes." I said. "I would like you to stay out of my own personal bubble."

"Done." Emma said.

"I also want you to NOT pull 'stunts' that your brother does." I said.

"I'll try." She said, an amused smile coming to her face.

"You think this is funny?" I asked. "You think I'm joking?"

"You? Joke?" Emma asked, her amused smile growing. "Why would you ever do that?"

"You think I can't be funny?" I asked.

"Actually, I think you can't be laid back, and go with the flow." Emma said. "But now that I think about it…yeah, that too."

"That's your brother." I said. "He's the one who has to be in control all of the time."

"Says the guy who tucks in his shirts." She said.

I narrowed my eyes at her.

"What? No rebuttal?" She asked.

"Are we going to get along working together or not?" I asked.

"I have no issues working with you." Emma said. "As long as you respect me."

"Like wise." I said.

"Then we should be fine." She said.
