Author's Note: A fun request from MusicEstVita which was "Parker's favorite food." I hope you all enjoy this chapter and note that Eliot and Parker aren't a couple here. Enjoy!

If there's anything anyone in the Leverage Team knows it's not to bring cookies to work.

Ever.

However, this morning, Hardison was dying from a lack of sugar. The Team had been camped out in their office for the past two days due to Nate's fear that their houses were being watched by the company that they were trying to bring down.

Normally, this wouldn't bother Hardison, but his Nana had recently made him some of her homemade cookies. He loved those cookies and that was why he had brought them to work.

Big mistake.

"Hardison."

He froze.

"Crap," He cursed.

He turned around and saw Parker and he knew he was in for it. Parker smiled brightly as she saw that he was indeed holding her favorite food—cookies. She took a step closer, eager to get her prize when Hardison jumped back.

"What?" Parker snapped, getting irritated that she wasn't enjoying some cookies right now.

"You can't have any." He answered.

Parker's eyes filled with fury.

"What?" She questioned. Her hands clenched at her sides into fists.

Hardison had learned before that he couldn't win a fight against Parker. So, he came up with a plan.

"Eliot!" Hardison called. "Eliot, dude! Help!" He felt foolish calling for back-up on a girl that had never really had any formal fighting training, but he decided that if he could keep his cookies it would be worth it.

"What?" Eliot growled, rubbing his eyes. It was 5:00 am and he really needed his sleep if he was going to be in top fighting form.

"It's Parker." Hardison replied. Eliot's eyes opened immediately and he quickly knew what was going on.

"Parker?" Eliot asked soothingly, coming in-between her and Hardison. "Why don't you go back to bed?"

She pointed to the bag of cookies.

"I want them." She said simply.

"You can't have them!" Hardison yelled and Eliot glared at him. The last thing Hardison wanted to do was provoke Parker more.

"Move, Eliot." Parker growled and Eliot sighed as he realized that he wasn't going to go back to bed.

"Parker, don't do this." Eliot begged. "It's early."

Her expression showed no sign of changing and Eliot rolled up his sleeves. There was no avoiding it. Eliot turned to Hardison.

"Give her the cookies."

"What?!" Exclaimed Hardison. "You have to be—!"

Eliot began to crack his knuckles and Hardison immediately shut up. He thrust the bag into Parker's hands and quickly left the room.

"Happy now?" Eliot asked.

Parker beamed as she put one cookie in her mouth. She looked so beautiful when she was like this. She seemed normal and happy and—Eliot stopped himself. Since when did he start thinking Parker was beautiful? He obviously wasn't thinking clearly. He needed to go back to sleep.

"Eliot," Parker placed a cookie in his hand. "Thanks!"

And with that she bounded out of the room humming some unknown tune. Eliot sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

That girl was crazy.

And the scarier part was that he liked that.
