Chapter 30: Stay Tuned To This Station
---
Oz shook his head at the parting siblings. He wanted to stay here but even if they did accepted him as he is, well with the exception of Jayne, they might not want him to stay here. Plus he had to deal with what ever was happening in Blue Moon Monastery. Fenir let out a growl at that. 'Defend den.'
Oz nodded in agreement before changing into a different set of clothing. Then he left the room making sure to lock the door behind him. He was making his way to the dining area when a smell caught his nose. It was coming from the empty shuttle.
He took a detour to the shuttle and was opening the door when a hand reached out to pull him in. Oz barely managed to stay on his feet when Jayne let go of him to shut the door. "You think you can just sic the crazy girl on me when you don't win a fight huh?"
Oz tried to move around Jayne and out the door, "I didn't sic anyone on you."
Jayne shoved Oz away from the door, "So it's just some coincidence then that she came swinging at me after our fight?"
"She's protective." Once again Oz tried for the doors but Jayne pulled out one of his handguns. The werewolf froze in place, "Jayne?"
"Just stay back." Jayne said.
"Alright." Oz raised an eyebrow. He slowly took two steps back.
"You were just some weird kid and then you had to go and be all different. Remind me of him." Jayne said after a moment. "You just had to be a werewolf, one of those bloodthirsty beasts. Just killing folk anytime they feel like."
"You had a run in with a werewolf. Th—"
Jayne pushed Oz against a wall with his hand at the smaller man's throat, "Run-in? That hwun dan murdered my best friend right in front of me. Huge fucking wolf jumped out from the dark and slashed Bobby's stomach open."
Oz swallowed shallowly, "How do you know it was a werewolf?"
"I had a gun on me but I couldn't get it out fast enough to shoot the beast. When I finally got it out and pointed the wolf grabbed it from my hands with his teeth. Starting changing, bones crunching, hair receding, turned into a naked man. He was laughing," Jayne had been pressing harder against Oz's throat and he stopped for a moment, trying to reign in his rage. "Laughing at killing my friend. Said I was next. Pointed my own gun at my head. If it weren't for my Ma, I'd have been dead. She shot the son of a bitch but he still managed to get away."
"Jayne I'm sorry." Oz managed to choke out.
"I don't need your pity." Jayne shouted socking the werewolf across the jaw. He dropped Oz onto floor and pointed his handgun, "I don't want you to be sorry. I want you to be dead, you and everyone like you."
Oz's eyes widened before he quickly swept out Jayne's feet. The two wrestled for the gun for minute before Oz managed to get the gun away from the larger man. Jayne only smiled, "I learned my lesson then, always have more than one weapon." He pulled out another gun. Oz quickly managed to get that gun away from Jayne as well and pinned the man to the floor. Jayne spit in Oz's face, "Go ahead kill me."
"No."
"What?"
"No."
"Why?"
"That man who did that to you was a monster." Oz stood up, "I'm just a werewolf, I'm not a monster." He held out a hand to help Jayne up.
Jayne frowned at Oz before grabbing his hand, "This don't mean I trust you or nothing."
"What does it mean?" Oz asked.
"I won't try to kill you no more." Jayne answered as he began collecting his guns off the floor.
"Or fight me?"
Jayne straightened up and faced Oz. "That too. I ain't about feelings, that's for girls. So I'll just say this, if I ever see that liou coe shway duh biao-tze huh hoe-tze duh ur-tze ain't nothing in the 'verse that's going stop me from killing him. But since you're not him, I guess I shouldn't blame you for what he did."
Oz raised an eyebrow, "Uh thanks man."
"Finally all the cards are on the table." River said coming out from behind the pilot's chair.
Jayne let out a manly yelp, "Gorramit girl what in the guay where you doing back there?"
River stepped next to Oz and took his hand, "Watching the show all the other channels sucked." Jayne gave her a weird look and began to walk towards the door.
"Really what else was on?" Oz wondered as they began to follow Jayne out of the shuttle.
River shrugged, "Two things of UST, church, and family channel."
"What channel was this one?" Oz asked.
"Fighting, guns, male eye candy." River smiled at Oz, "Action, duh."
