Everyone was slap drunk and passed out, Imam had stayed over at Lee's place, Lee took the couch in Imam's living room, the doors was locked, Keira picked the lock and got them in, she took him to the bathroom up by her room and shut the door. Keira pulled off his long sleeves that was around her waist, she took her shirt off in front of Byran,

"You realize I am still in the room," Byran smirked,

"I'm sure its nothing you haven't seen before, besides, I have to tell you, well, explain to you what just happened," Keira taking her pants off and putting her shirt and pants into the metal trash can and lit a match and threw it into the metal trash can and let it burn.

"That looks bad, sit down on the countertop, I'll wash it and bandage it up," Byran strongly.

"Byran, listen, I had to do that, they knew I was alive, they knew Riddick was alive, I couldn't let them tell the rest of the mercs," Keira pressing his shirt onto her side,

"So, you are the chick…Jack, that supposedly died on that planet," Byran thinking.

"It was Jack, and she did die, she bled out all over the bathroom a couple of nights after Riddick left, she was weak, she couldn't have made it this far," Keira throwing his shirt in the fire. Slowly she took her bra off and then her underwear, she glanced at Byran, he had turned his head away from her,

"You must have some trust in me to turn away from me," Keira smirked.

"I prefer to remain a gentleman and respect the woman I am around," Byran strongly. Keira was quiet in the shower, she didn't even have the water running, Byran had stepped into the hallway, leaning back against the wall, he had left the door cracked a bit,

"Keira, are you alright in there," Byran having training to actually know she was already in the shower.

"Um, yeah, its just, I've always thought young men and even old ones always liked to look at attractive young women, I never thought I would meet a male that had respect for a woman, am I not attractive?" Keira thinking it might be her.

"Are you kidding me Keira? You are a gorgeous woman, even with your battle scars, its just how I was raised, hell, I've only slept with one person in my time," Byran leaning his head back against the wall, Keira poked her head out and held the shower curtain to her body,

"You cant be serious," Keira a bit loud, Byran smirked.

"Actually yeah, quite serious," Byran strongly.

"Well, what happened?" Keira confused,

"We were engaged and she couldn't wait and we slept together and the next thing I know she ran off with my best friend," Byran shrugged. Keira stared at him,

"What, I am over it, if she really didn't love me I'm really glad she didn't marry me and waste all my effort in trying to save the marriage later on," Byran shrugged.

"I'm sorry," Keira giving the bathroom door crack a hurt expression,

"Stop with the pity look Keira, so tell me, you ever been with anyone?" Byran asked, Keira paused in cleaning herself, she was done anyway and stepped out. She walked out with a towel wrapped around her, she glanced at Byran,

"No, I have not," Keira walking to her room, she slammed the door shut, she dried off and put some underwear on and a pair of cargo pants on and a bra, she picked up the bloodied towel, held it to her wound, she walked out of her room and back into the bathroom.

"Look Keira, I'm sorry if I hit a nerve, I didn't mean to," Byran seriously, he moved slowly into the bathroom, he motioned to help her, she jerked away,

"I am not a kid anymore, I can handle this Byran, and I can take care of myself and I did train from Lee too ya know," Keira growled as she turned to grab for a new wash cloth and lost her balance, he caught her, she gave him a look that said 'you better get your fucking hands off' Byran knew how to get to her and he did it, he pushed her to the wall and pinned her there, she was in her cargo pants and bra with her side streaming blood.

"Listen to me Keira and listen well, you lack patience, you just cant go around in a fit of rage killing, because you will get all of us killed, I know you are not a kid, you've always took care of yourself, but a crew is not just a bunch of strangers working together, they grow and evolve into a family, and family takes care of each other, so, you are hurt, let me take care of you," Byran strongly. Keira stared him down.

"You think I'm afraid of you, you gotta another thing coming," Keira hissed,

"I know you aren't afraid of me, but I do know you are hard headed and that pinning you here that at least you will listen to reason when someone tries to help you, I mean seriously, does someone have to hurt you every time by pinning you against the wall to get you to listen?" Byran getting in her face,

"Yeah, I do not trust anyone, and it wakes me up to reality," Keira growled at him. Byran pulled away, he walked into the bathroom and got a clean towel and dabbed her wound, he got out the glue to glue her side together, she never had stitches and knew she wouldn't have them if she needed them. He gently picked her up and sat her on the countertop, he started cleaning her wound.

"Doesn't it hurt?" Byran confused,

"I just let the numb feeling I remember from the past take over my body, so no, not really," Keira glancing down at him cleaning it.

"He must have hurt you pretty bad, you should have stitches with this," Byran drenching it with alcohol,

"Just use the med glue, I wont have a needle touching my skin, as for him, I was a young girl who followed him like a puppy dog, wanting to be just like him, so yeah, I never thought he would be able to hurt me as much as he did," Keira turning away from him. Byran glanced at her, he glued the wound shut, he put the bandage on her,

"Come on, lets get you some sleep," Byran noticing the fire had completely gone out of the metal trash can, she let him help her off the countertop and they walked to her room. She found a comfortable shirt, threw it on and locked the door,

"You'll need to clean your blades in the morning," Byran explained. Keira left the dog tags out of her shirt, she walked over to her bed, she slowly crawled into her inviting bed, Byran just stood there,

"Are you coming or are you sleeping on the floor, Mr. Vercetti?" Keira having her back to him. He smirked,

"You must trust me to turn your back on me," Byran with a little laugh,

"I could drop you in your sleep, and I must have some trust in you, you did throw a shiv past my head to kill a merc," Keira strongly as she turned and looked at him.

"Come on, the bed is big enough for both of us, just stay on your side and we wont have a problem," Keira smiling, Byran took his shirt off and his pants, leaving his boxers on, he crawled onto the bed and under the covers.

"Goodnight Keira," Byran strongly,

"Night Byran," Keira tracing his mark of a wolf on his shoulder blade, soon she too fell asleep.
