Paige leaned up against the wall as they stepped out of the office at the Gettlemen pitch and exhaled.

"You okay?" Happy asked.

"I guess, are you guys sure we're doing the right thing?" Paige asked for about the one thousandth time since they first discussed starting their company.

"What else are we going to do? Are you ready to go back to Walter?" Happy asked as Toby and Sylvester walked on by.

"No, but, Happy. He looked and sounded so broken. Maybe I should go over and talk to him?" Paige asked her.

Happy shook her head.

"Look, for what it is worth, you do what you need to do. Okay? I'll support your position. If you want to just converse with him, fine, if you want to try and settle things with him, fine. If you want to knock his block off, let me get a shovel. If you want to knock boots with him, well don't invite me." Happy grinned as Paige smiled.

Paige nodded and stood up straight.

"Figures frick and frack walk off without us." Paige said as she shook her head.

"They're guys, what do you expect?" Happy chuckled as they began walking towards the elevators.

Paige and Happy passed out of the elevator on the first floor and Paige bumped shoulders with someone and they both absently said, "Excuse me."

The man frowned and looked back and his eyes went wide. 'Oh my god, it is her. It's Paige. I can't believe I ran into her. I've got to try and talk to her.' He thought.

"Paige!" The man called out and began moving towards them.

Paige and Happy frowned as they turned and saw the man waving while smiling and moving towards them.

"Do I know you?" Paige asked puzzled.

"Oh that would be too much to hope for. I'm such a huge fan. Could I get a picture with you?" The man asked.

Paige frowned as she shook her head.

"I'm sorry, no. I'm no one famous, I don't take photos with random people. Who are you?" Paige asked. "How do you know me?"

"Oh I'm Daryl. I'm one of your platinum club members." Daryl smiled. "I just love your website."

"What?!" Paige and Happy said together.

"Oh, right, you're out here, you probably keep it on the down low. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I'll send you a private message tonight when you do your live show and we can just chat then. My friends won't believe it when they find out I met you in real life." Daryl told her excitedly.

"I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. What website?" Paige asked.

Daryl looked puzzled but looked about and didn't see anyone nearby that could overhear them.

"You know, PaigeDaTruSlut dot xxx." Daryl said quietly.

"Oh hell no, you better get the hell away from her with that crap." Happy stormed.

Daryl took one look at Happy's expression and moved off quickly.

"What the hell is going on?" Paige asked worriedly.

"I don't know but we better get back to the office and find out." Happy told her.

Paige nodded and they both took off quickly.


Sylvester stared at Happy and Paige as he sat down at his desk.

"Y-Y, You want me to pull up what website?" Sylvester stuttered.

"You heard me, I'm not saying it again." Happy told him.

Sylvester shook his head.

"I'm not pulling up any such website on my computer." Sylvester said defiantly.

"I'll do it." Toby said even as Happy rolled her eyes.

"Of course you would perve." Happy told him.

"Wholly Hanna." Toby said as he had already entered the website. His eyes went wide looking at the teaser images that came up on his computer.

Happy moved around his desk and looked at the screen.

"Not good." Happy said as she looked at Paige standing there looking scared. "You better take a look."

Paige moved around the desk and her eyes went wide seeing the images.

"Oh gawd! How, where, how is this even possible?" Paige said.

Happy grabbed her as she kind of swayed.

"You didn't pose for or take these?" Toby asked, confused.

"What? No! How could you ask that?" Paige asked as she began shaking.

"Because I'm looking at Walter's bedroom and you in his bed, on that chair of his, on top of that desk. With some man that obviously isn't Walter. And you got mad about a freaking lecture? I mean if you and Walter liked doing this, that is fine but don't deny it." Toby told her.

"Toby, I never posed for any pictures. I never did anything like this. Walter never took pictures of me. He said his eidetic memory was more than enough for him. And I certainly never had sex with anyone but Walter in the last four years." Paige said.

Happy helped her to sit down.

"Oh gawd, what am I going to do? I can't explain this. What if child services sees this? Or Ralph and his friends? What if Drew finds out? Oh, do you think he could be involved?" Paige fretted as horrifying thoughts raced through her head.

"Wait, you never had sex with Tim?" Toby frowned.

"What? No, I never got to a comfortable enough place with him. I wanted Walter, not Tim." Paige told him.

"Well we go to the source. I'm taking you to talk to Walter. And depending on his answer, I'm going to bash his fucking head in." Happy swore. "Come on." Happy helped Paige to stand.

"What makes you think this was Walter?" Paige asked.

"I don't know, but those images came from his Loft. So he has to be the source." Happy told her.

Toby and Sylvester started to stand up.

"No, the fewer witnesses there are the better. And you erase that website address and images from your laptop. If I look at it later and find you didn't I'm going to slam it shut with something you like trapped between it." Happy glared at Toby.

Toby gulped and nodded as he put his hands over his gooty.


Walter stood at his whiteboard. He was staring at a complex math equation. A song playing from his laptop when the door opened and Paige and Happy stepped inside.

Paige frowned recognizing Beyoncé's song "Halo" immediately.

"Walter?" Paige said weakly.

Walter spun around quickly with a smile on his face at first but the scared look on Paige's face as well as the pissed expression on Happy's wiped the smile from him. He moved around his desk and over to them quickly. Happy held up her hand as a warning but Walter slapped it back and grabbed Paige's elbow.

"What's wrong? Is Ralph okay? Are you okay?" Walter asked worriedly as he helped Paige to move over and sit down on the couch.

"Walter, I-I, Walter, I don't want to believe you would do something like this. But after what I saw, I have to ask you. Did you build a website about me? Did you somehow take pictures of me and manipulate them to put up on the website out of revenge? Please, please tell me you wouldn't do that to me." Paige begged.

Walter frowned even as he looked up at Happy puzzled.

Happy just nodded.

"Paige, love, no, never in a million years would I do something like that. Someone could cut me to ribbons in torture and I wouldn't do that. You mean the world to me. What website are we talking about?" Walter asked even as he stroked Paige's cheek.

Happy rattled off the name and Walter jumped up and grabbed his laptop. He quickly came back over and sat next to Paige. Paige watched as he pulled up his hacking portal and typed in the name and hit enter.

Walter's eyes went wide and then narrowed.

"This isn't you and while the background looks like my Loft, these images are from back after I recovered from the rocket accident." Walter told them.

He pointed out several things in the images and Paige just nodded as she knew he was right.

"And look, see the shadows on the woman? They aren't corresponding to the shadows in the background. Someone used some kind of green screen tech to put images of my bedroom behind and around the model." Walter said as he pointed at different inaccuracies.

"So how do you know that isn't Paige?" Happy asked as she sat on the arm of the couch and looked over at the screen.

"Well first thing is, she has the wrong skin tone. The model has a slight almost imperceptible olive cast to her skin. And see here? You can see the slight artifact from where a computer AI superimposed Paige's face onto the woman's body. It did a decent job matching the skin tone but it isn't perfect." Walter told her.

"How the hell can you tell all of that, that quickly?" Happy swore.

"I know Paige." Walter said simply. "And look at this back shot. That clearly isn't Paige." Walter said with authority.

"What makes you say that?" Happy frowned as she scrutinized the image and was unable to see anything to tell her it wasn't Paige.

"Remember what happened in Djibouti? Paige was shot. That bullet left a permanent discoloration to Paige's skin when it impacted." Walter told her as he continued to examine the site's front end.

"And look here, Paige's physical dimensions are proportionate. This woman has a number of differences. Her shoulders are narrower than Paige's. The distance from her hip to her sternum is longer than Paige's. And in the visible images she has eight moles that Paige doesn't have." Walter told Happy.

Paige sat marveling at all Walter had said. She never knew he had studied her so intently before. She smiled at the thought of how much he really loved her to be able to find so many differences that quickly.

"And this guy in this video, he…" Walter paused as his head tilted to the side. He quickly opened another browser tab and went to Instagram. He typed in a name and clicked on a link and they saw Tim Armstrong's profile. He scanned down the images until he came to one that Tim's current girlfriend took of him on the beach. Walter's eyes looked at it for a second and then changed tabs and pointed at the man in the video clip. "That's Timothy Armstrong." Walter told them.

"What? Are you sure?" Paige asked quickly.

"And this video with the model was taken very close to the same time as this beach picture." Walter nodded and then pointed out several features that made him think of Tim and then showed them the beach photo again and Happy whistled.

"Well damn. So, Armstrong is behind this then." Happy said.

"Well we can't leap to that conclusion yet." Walter told her.

"You're defending that guy?" Happy said surprised.

"No, just saying we shouldn't leap to that thought without more information." Walter explained. He looked at Paige. "I'm really sorry someone has done this. I need to go to my desk to do some hacking."

Paige looked puzzled and then noticed that at some point she had leaned into Walter's chest and she had her right arm wrapped around his left and her left hand was curled up in his lap. Paige blushed.

"I'm sorry." Paige said as she sat up and moved her arms back over.

"It is okay Paige. It was nice to feel you so close to me again." Walter said as he got up and moved awkwardly over to his desk.

Happy grinned at Paige and jerked her head towards him.

Paige blushed even more but got up and moved over to his desk. She pulled the chair next to the desk around and sat down next to him to watch.

Walter quickly clicked on join and selected the premium platinum level access to the website. He put in one of the emails that he had set up for doing covert work. Jumping to the email provider he entered the account and password and found the validation email from the website. He clicked on it. He hacked into a credit card website and set up a sniffer trojan on an account there before he went back to the website. He typed in the visa credit card number he'd just put the sniffer on.

"I don't recognize this account Walter." Paige said softly.

"It is one of my covert accounts. Whenever I need to do something to track money flow I use it." Walter smiled.

Walter began quickly examining the uncensored images and videos.

"I swear, if I didn't know better, I would think I had done these." Paige sighed.

"They are good but they aren't that good. Maybe if Tim had actually made love to you he'd have known how off this woman is from you." Walter told her as he continued examining things.

"What makes you think he didn't make love to me?" Paige frowned.

"Ralph." Walter told her absently. "Uh, not like he told me. But I'm assuming, as you never wanted to make love with me when Ralph was with us. And when you were dating Tim, Ralph was always with you." Walter explained.

Paige smiled and nodded.

"Hey Walt, Happy is here?" Cabe called out as he walked in. "Oh, hey kid. Good to see you both here. What's going on?" Cabe asked as he paused at the couch by Happy.

"Someone set up a website spoofing Paige's facial image into a bunch of provocative and pornographic images and videos. I'm trying to track it down now." Walter told him as he worked.

"Are you kidding me?" Cabe yelled.

Happy and Paige both shook their heads.

"When we left the bid earlier some guy approached Paige and told us he was a huge fan of hers. A platinum member of her website." Happy told him.

"This is horse shit." Cabe swore. What can we do?" Cabe demanded.

"Cabe, I'm working on it, that's all I can say. Do you mind going to get dinner? This is going to take me a little while." Walter told him as he worked.

"No, I can do that. You want those fish things?" Cabe asked.

"Thank you Cabe." Walter told him.

"What do you two want?" Cabe asked.

"I'm ah…" Paige paused as she looked at Walter.

"Whatever you want Paige." Walter told her as he worked.

"Well I should go get Ralph." Paige looked to Happy like, what should I do?

"I'll go get him and bring him back." Happy told her.

"No, I'll go get him. He can help me get the food." Cabe told her.

"Well I could go get the guys if you want." Happy said hesitantly.

"That's fine." Walter said as he continued working.

Happy grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down what they all usually got from Kovelsky's restaurant and gave it to Cabe. She pulled out her wallet and got out a fifty dollar bill.

Cabe smiled and shook his head.

"My treat." Cabe told her and left.

"I'll be back shortly then I guess." Happy said as she looked at Paige.

Paige nodded as she mouthed. "It's okay, I'll stay here."


Greetings! I hope this finds you all well! Well last night was a bit harsh and I completely forgot I was going to post today. Sorry gang. So glad you guys enjoyed Donor!

Guest - First, welcome to fanfiction! Always great to see new people come looking! I know a lot of people probably see my stories and think I hate Toby but I promise I don't. I hate that they wrote him in such a hostile state to Walter. It makes trying to write any fix it or even a divergence story such as my Uncivil War storyline a real bear. How do you rein in his hostility? Donor was definitely my best at trying to bridge that gap and get Toby to be a character that is supportive and more decent instead of all snark and sarcasm. As for your question, most of my fix its have Walter taking the blame, "Donor" was more about only accepting his actions against Paige. I have not had one where Happy is more vulnerable, but this one treads your question a little.

To the Adventure! -Tim
