What Price Brotherhood?

Disclaimer: I don't own them. I just needed to fix the finale.
Author's Note: Huh. I don't even like Archer. How did he wind up with a girl and a happy ending? That can't be right. Let's try another tactic.
Chapter 5
Daniels blinks at the bright light as the closet door opens.
"There you are!" A female voice sounds delighted at her find. "At least I can take care of you!"
Lieuten Keen grabs hold of Daniels' collar, wrestles him into the airlock and sends him flying into space with an excess of glee. "Serves you right, you enigmatic creep!"
Reese enters the room, accompanied by Archer. "We may need him later," Reese reminds Keen.
"No, no. You really won't." Keen attempts to reassure the sibling.
Reese steps to the temporal console. "Blue button, green button, red button," she performed the actions while speaking out loud. Daniels reappeared on the platform.
Keen scowls.
Reese pats her on the back. "Be sure you put him back when you're done," she tells her. Reese leaves the room.
Keen glares at Archer. "You still suck," she told him.
Archer shrugs. "I got a girl and a happy ending."
Keen and Archer exchange a variety of rude hand gestures and facial ticks before Archer follows Reese through the door.
"When I'm done here, I'm totally going back to rescue your dog!" Keen shouts after the disappearing man.
Archer half waves without turning around.
Seething with frustration, Keen turns back to her current project. "Where were we?" she growls maliciously.
She wrestles Daniels into the airlock and spaces him.
"Yeah," she thinks to herself. "It's going to be a good day." She presses the sequence of buttons so they might start all over again. Daniels appears on the platform. Keen turns to her current project with malicious glee.
THE END (really)
