It's been four days since the accident and several things have happened. Frankie turned up at the ARC yesterday as though she'd been given the job. In actual fact all four had been hired but weren't to be told until today. As it happened, the other three were available to start yesterday so they did. Robinson had complained several times and Abby had come in with the hilarious news that rex had attacked Benjimin and all three were in Matt's bad books. The other piece of news was that Connor's working at Burton's lab but there's nothing more about him.

Becker hasn't changed much. He's still unconscious. The only time you've been home was to change and get him his civie clothes for when he wakes up.

You're currently sitting in the chair doing a crossword. "Being in a state of existence, progress, or motion. Something hostilities." you mutter. "Six down."

"Try 'active'." Becker croaks.

"Becker!" you cry, dropping your book and pen, throwing yourself at Becker. He makes a muffled sound of pain and you pull back. "Oh, God! Sorry!" you pull back. He laughs, shaking his head, pulling you back to him. He presses his lips to yours and you smile into him.

"God, I've missed that." he grins. "What's been going on?" you quickly bring him up to date on everything that's been happening, including the new recruits.

"I need to go and inform the medics. Stay there." you grin, giving him a quick kiss. You only need to stick your head out the door or one of the medics to look up from the desk.

"Anything wrong?" the medic calls and you grin.

"He's up and complaining bitterly." you grin. The medic returns the smile and calls for another medic. Three minutes later and you're helping Becker to shrug on his shirt.

"Now, you can come back to work tomorrow, but you take it easy tonight! Sleeping only." the medic winks and you and Becker grin at each other.

"You realise you have to meet the four new recruits." You laugh as Becker's face as it crumples into distaste. "Don't worry. You could just push them through an anomaly."

"You know what I think about that." Becker frowns.

"I was joking." you laugh and reach up to kiss him. "C'mon." you shoulder open the door to the armoury and you're met with the loud, angry voice of Robinson.

"Is. That. Clear?" he yells and Lyra, Benjimin, Frankie and Alex nod. You clear your throat and the group turn to look at you. "Ah." Robinson straightens up and stands to attention. Becker nods and he relaxes. "This is Captain Becker." he motions towards Becker and Alex smiles. "Sir, this is Lyra Chadwick, Benjimin Purvis, Francesca De Roux and Alex. Just Alex."

Becker nodded at them. "I am Captain Becker and you will address me as that or a 'Sir'. I will address you by your last name in respect. Any questions?"

"Yeah. I got one." Lyra raised her hand, a smirk on her face. "What's she doing in here?" she smirks, gesturing towards you. You can see hate boil up in Becker's eyes.

"She has a name. And she's in here because everyone's allowed in here." Becker narrows his eyes dangerously.

"Well, why's she with you then?"

"Because she's my wife." Becker says with a 'duh' tone to his voice. The ADD alarm goes off and you smile to yourself. "You lot, with me." the six of you take off towards the ADD, catching the others there. " Purvis, you're with Abby. Roux, you're with Matt. Chadwick, with Robinson, Alex with Connor and Lyra, you're with me. Lets go!" Becker herds the others out before turning to you, kissing you quickly, and running after the others.

"Catch!" Jess calls, tossing you a bluetooth device similar to hers. "The three laptops over there are set up for you over there!" you sit down at the laptops and find that the screens mimic those of the ADD. You're able to to everything Jess can (within reason) without effecting Jess. You smile at the dots flickering across the screen and the four new ones.

Jesus Becker! Speed limit! You hear Connor laugh and you chuckle.

It isn't that fast. God. Lyra mutters and you wish you could hit her.

Katy-alice Cullen - "Becker's been known to reach speeds of one hundred miles per hour." you point out, trying to keep the smirk from your face.

Roller coasters are faster.

"Actually they travel in the region of 30 to 50 miles an hour. There's one that goes at 144 but that's the fastest ever." you hear Connor sniker at this.

What are you doing on the coms? Lyra demands, changing subject.

"I'm helping Jess." you reply and you know her reply before it's out of her mouth.

We're dead then.

If you have a problem then leave! You crack a smile and Becker's explosion and at Lyra's sudden quietness. Across the room you can see Jess trying to stifle her giggles. She takes a drink of water in attempt to cover herself and ends up choking on it. You burst out laughing.

Blimey! Watch out ears! Connor mutters from a distance and you guess he's leaning back.

"Sorry. You okay Jess?" you call and she gives you a thumbs up. "Right. Take a right and you're there." you watch the collective red dots on the screen slow, take a right and then stop. You signal for Jess to take over and watch as she starts to hand out information whilst hacking into the street CCTV. When she's done with it she send it over to you.

"Scan that for people and trouble." she says.

"Um, aren't they the same thing?" you ask, but start searching anyway. Three minutes later and you've scanned the whole area and have stopped the camera on the team. Namely Becker, but you inform Jess it's the team.

"Can you keep an eye on the anomaly with Connor and Alex please?" Jess asks. "I've got to follow Robinson and Chadwick and Abby and Purvis."

"Do you want me to keep an eye on Matt and Becker too?"

"As long as you can focus on Matt." Jess grins and you roll your eyes.

"For God's sake!" you hear Becker before you see him.

"No, you follow him!" then there's Robinson. You and Jess exchange worried looks.

"Have we got riot gear?" Jess asked and you smile.

"The words FOLLOW were used!" you're eyes widen as Connor's voice rises above the others. You don't think Connor's ever yelled. "Becker and Robinson may not be able to say it but I can! Do the fuck as you're told to!"

"Lyra." you and Jess say at the same time as a red faced Becker enters the room followed by a red faced Robinson and a pissed off Connor.

"If you wont do as you're told then you can leave this building!" Becker yells and you watch as Lyra doesn't even blink. You get to your feet as you see Becker reach the end of his tether. By this time, even Lester's come out to see what the commotion is about. "Go on! Leave!" You walk over to Becker and lay a hand on his arm. No one is prepared for his reaction. Becker spins, his left hand out and catches your right cheek. Your face swings left and you yank your hand from Becker's arm. There's a deadly silence in the room and you can feel tears well in your eyes. You step back and blink rapidly, clearing your eyes long enough to see Becker's shocked and appalled face.

"Excuse me." you mutter quietly, turning and running from the room.

I know Becker's very OTT but this fits into the next chapter.
