Rhade couldn't believe it.
Beka had managed to turn his own game against him and was now doing her best to get even.
The worst of it being talking Andromeda into helping her get back at him.
How he had offended the warship he would never know. Though the most likely cause, he thought, would be loyalty to the First Officer and maybe also a woman thing.
Beka had been changing his weight settings in the gym, stealing his epic books and replacing them with nursery rhymes, soaking his bed down with water, and stealing his hair gel. Damnable, beautiful woman.
Andromeda had obviously been overriding his door locks for Beka, and he also noticed that all of his hot water had been turned off. Never again would he step directly into the shower without first checking the temperature with his hand. He really hadn't been in the mood for a freezing cold shower.
Andromeda was claiming innocence for all the mechanical problems he was having. According to her she had glitches and bugs Harper needed to fix and everything Rhade tried to access and malfunctioned had been a side effect of some damage taken earlier in the day.
And of course, every time Beka came into Command on their shifts together, she had nothing but a big, sweet smile waiting for him.
Dylan had commented once that he was glad to see Beka finally starting to warm up to Telemachus.
He laughed.
If Dylan really knew what was going on, he would order Andromeda to stop messing with Rhade's systems and give lectures to both Beka and him on ethics, order, and Commonwealth respect among the crew, blah, blah, blah, etc.
Rahde would be damned before he went running to Dylan.
And he knew Beka would be too.
Dylan would, after all, ruin all the fun.

A/N: Though I'd give you guys a quick update as I'm in a good mood and love all your reviews:)
Oh S4 Rhade...the little smiles and the optimism. Though he wore too many clothes, but then we got "Abridging The Devil's Divide" and his S5 wardrobe;D
