Chapter 13: The more I see

'' Thoughts

Adam walks behind Rini trying to keep his hands busy and not strangle her even though he was tempted to do it 'no, I can't I'll be like Serenity if I did that.' He thinks to himself when Rini turns round and looks at him.

"I know you don't like me." She tells him.

"Damn straight I don't."

"The Adam from this future doesn't like me as well." She said turning on the puppy dog eyes.

"That don't work, I'm a battle hardened combat veteran." He tells her as he walks away.

'Curses, I will kill you!' she thinks to herself.

Adam goes back to the apartment and sees Rini sitting next to Hotaru.

"I… eh? What the… I just… excuse me one moment." He says before running upstairs and comes running down laughing like a madman holding his sword high over his head.

"Err, what's all this about?" Michelle asks whilst constantly sweat dropping.

Adam stops just as he gets to the door, standing on one foot and sword raised over his head looks at them before putting his sword down and leans on it.

"Well, you see the Small Lady from my time is here and… see ya!" he shouts running out laughing like a mad man.

"This can't be good." Amara says before they all get up and chase Adam to attempt to stop him from doing something stupid, they find him his face covered in blood and his arms full of cuts laughing.

"What's so funny?" Michelle asks.

Adam moves his hand from his stomach to reveal a nasty cut.

"That's what you're laughing at?" Amara replied.

"Yeah, twisted sense of humour." He replies coughing up blood 'that blade must have gone deeper than I thought.'

Later

Adam walks out of the hospital laughing his head off.

"I still can't believe that nurse tried hitting on you Amara." Adam laughs.

"Don't laugh too hard, we don't want those stitches undone." Amara muttered.

"What would Michelle have done if she was there?" Adam said whilst laughing.

"Probably try killing her."

"I know… sis." He couldn't stop laughing now.

"I had to think of something to say, I couldn't exactly say time traveller now could I." Amara replied.

Adam finally stops laughing and holds his sides in pain from too much.

'I hate him at times, but he's like a son to me and Michelle.' She thinks to herself before they walk into the apartment, Amara goes and sits down in the lounge whilst Adam goes upstairs still laughing.

"How is he?" Michelle asked.

"Won't stop laughing."

"Why?" Michelle replied.

"Well, first of all I had to put him down as my brother and then this nurse tried hitting on me… not Adam but me." She tells her partner.

Michelle's left eye twitches as she hears the last part before she goes upstairs to Adams room and finds him listening to the radio.

Fathers hands were lined with dirt
From long days in the field
And mothers hands are serving meals
In a cafe on main street
With mouths to feed
Just trying to keep clothing on our backs
And all I hear about is
How it's so bad, it's so bad

It's too bad, it's too bad
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
Let's talk

You left without saying goodbye
Although I'm sure you tried
You call and ask from time to time
To make sure we're alive
But you weren't there
Right when I'm needing you the most
And now I dream about it
How it's so bad, it's so bad

It's too bad, it's too bad
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
Let's talk

Father's hands are lined with guilt
For tearing us apart
Guess it turned out in the end
Just look at where we are
Made it out, still got clothing on our backs
And now I scream about it
How it's so bad, it's so bad

It's too bad, it's too bad
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
Let's talk

No time, last one, let's go

Adam looks at Michelle before turning the radio off.

"Yes?" he asks.

"Is what Amara told me true?"

"Yes, you should have seen Amara's face when the nurse slapped her ass as she walked past us." Adam replied. "It was best when she came back, I won't go into the details."

"You've been like a son to me and Amara and an older brother to Hotaru." She tells him.

"You've been like a family to me in this time, the only other family I've ever had is my squad." He replies before finding himself in a hug.

Downstairs

Amara's still fuming over what that nurse did and never notices Trista walk in.

"Something on your mind?" Trista asked making Amara jump.

"It's nothing." Amara replied.

Authors note: I couldn't be asked putting a fight scene in and the song was Nickelback: Too bad R&R.
