(kinda depressing stuff at first bare with me, oh and a scene half in the bedroom/bathroom. I thought the shower should get a turn ;) just once)

Grace was dead, she hadn't gotten to the Na'vi in time, Jake, Jake was with Na'vi more and more. He was recluded since Grace died and I didn't have any idea why, he was with Neytiti, Grace wasn't his... or was she? I'd seen the way they acted around each other but still, he was with Neytiti... but Grace. She was something different.

I stepped into a too hot shower my sholder slumping. The water bit me and I didn't even notice I was screaming till Norm came in. I stood there, limp as he opened the shower and turned the water down. I stopped screaming and stood there shivering. Norm didn't say anything at all just started taking off his clothes. When they were all on the floor he got in finding my favorite bottle of shampoo running it through my hair through before rinsing it out. Then he did the same thing again and then conditoner. He found a loufa and squeezed something on it. When it touched my skin it burned but once again I didn't move I was numb. With what -pain, fear, shock,- I didn't know.

I snapped back into my body when he was bent down rubbing the loufa up and down my legs. I shivered and tried not to move. I watched his face, he was calm no expression flitting his features. He looked up at me and I wondered briefly what he saw before he was kissing me, my back pressed against the cold tile wall the water spilling over the both of us. His arms were around me, he was hunching down all six foot four of him curved around my small five three figure. Back pressed against the wall, Norm blocking everything else out, I felt safe. One of his legs was between mine trapping one of my legs between the both of his. His hands were in my hair which fell around my face clumping together. His plastered to his head making him look like a skinny wet bird. His hands were every where, his breathing heavy and quick. The shower was so small, only two step across in either way.

I pushed him back against the wall jumping up to wrap my legs around his waist. The water was hitting my back running cold by now. I shiver and Norm stubled out of the shower into the small communal bathroom. He wrapped a towel around us, and stubled into the bedroom dropping onto his bed. the towel fell away and was replaced with a sheet that barely covered my ass seeing as I was on top (deleted scene here) I knelt over him kissing his neck and sholder. He was, funnily enough, wearing his socks and the only thing I was wearing was the sheet and his necklace. His hands were on my side fingers spread wide.

" Son of a bitch!" I groaned into his sholder. The shower had been pointless sweat was rolling down my face matting my hair and making me stick to Norm. He rolled over so I was on top, I was curled in on him my feet at his knees. I couldn't breathe and I knew Jake would be back soon but all I could think about was this, Norm doing what he was doing to me.

" Ugnh." I pushed my hair out of my face with my hand the other knotting into Norm's hair. His breath came out clipped and tired. I wasn't ready to stop but it seemed everythine else was. The blanket was pushed and crumpled at my waist only covering what shouldn't be seen and the rest of me was bitten by the cold air. I groaned again kissing what ever part of his I could. My mouth found his and then our tounges were battleing for dominace in each other's mouth. Damn he was a great kisser. Where the hell did he learn this shit?

There was a faint hiss and I realised I should know what that was but right now I was too lost in everything else. I kissed Norm's ear lightly a smile on my lips.

" Jeeze." Jake's voice was half amused and disgusted at the same time.

I turned only to see him turn away as Norm pulled the sheet a little hinger on me.

" Dammit Jake! What the hell?" I growled as he went back to the link room.

" Get dressed!" I randomely grabbed one of Norm's shirts and a pair of shorts as he got dressed.

We went into the link room and sat down as the computer blinked to life.

" Jake is crazy here. It's full mobilization, they're rigging the shuttle as a bomber. They got these huge pallets of mine explosives it's for some kind of shock and awe campaing." Max's face was close to the screen. I had a gun slung at my sholder, Norm did too and my hand fell to my stomache. Two months and counting.

" Freaking daisy cutters." I shook my head.

" Quarich's taken over he's rolling and there's no stopping him."

" When?" Jake's voice was hard.

" O'six hundred tomorrow."

" Max! Max!" Laura's voice was behind him.

" I gotta go." The computer blinked black.

" We're screwed." Norm's voice was hard unlike him.

I laughed bitterly. " And I was hoping for some sort of tactical plan that didn't envolve martyrdom." I smiled bitterly dropping the gun into my lap. " We're going up against gun ships with bows and arrows."

" I have fifteen clans out there, that's over two thosand worriors. We know these mountains, we fly them, you fly them. They don't. Their insturments woln't work up here. Missle tracking woln't work. They have to fire line of sight. If they bring the fight to us, we have the home field advantage." He gestured through what he said.

" You know they're gonna comitt that bomber straight to the tree of souls." I hung my head looking up at him.

" I know." He nodded swollowing thickly.

" They get to the tree of souls it's over. That's they're direct line to Awya, to their ansesters. They'll destroy them."

" Then I guess we'll have to stop them." He smiled at me which I returned gaurdidly.

AVATAR

I looked into Norm's eyes as I got ready for the battle. He watched me with wide doe like eyes rimmed with red.

" Hey." He didn't respond so I stepped closer hugging him to me my arms around his neck. " It's gonna be okay Tiger."

" You're the only one going to fight. Jake and I'll be safe in the link room but you, you'll be out there fighting." A tear slipped down his face. " What happens if-"

He didn't say if I don't come back.

" I'll come back to you. I promise you." We were nose to nose, I moved half an inch giving him a long searing kiss. Then he was gone and I'd pushed the lid of his link down. I wiped my face and put on an exo-pack stepping into the clear Pandorian day.

I took the covers off the samson and ran my hand along it's side before getting in. I started up and took one long last look at where I knew Norm was. Fighting for Na'vi freedome.

I hadn't told him I knew I was going to die. I knew it, as the tears slid down my face. I rubbed my stomache which was just starting to strech out.

" I'm so sorry baby." I lokoed down at my baby.

I shook my head rip[ping off my mask I started the plane.

AVATAR

I came up behind him shooting through the glass denting the metal of the dragon.

" Oops."

I swivled so my plane was facing his and he shot through my glass bullets bouncing of the metal.

" Your not the onyl one with a gun bitch." I smiled as he ducked avoiding a bullet to the head.

This time though he shot one of my engins and it caught fire sending me into a spiral.

" Rouge one is hit, going in. Sorry jake." I pulled another lever trying to get control of the plane. " Hey Norm?"

" Ya." His voice was strained and weak.

" I love you." The the missle came. There was a flash of fire and then it was black.
