Disclaimer: If I owned Fringe...Olivia would be on the right side and with Peter.
They had breakfast, Astrid and Walter showed up after Peter texted Astrid to let her know he found Olivia at the diner.
"Hey," Astrid and Walter sat down, "so what happened…decide to just go for a walk?"
Olivia nodded, "more of a nap in the woods…Walter I need to ask you something."
Walter smiled, "of course dear, right after I order a cocktail…juice cocktail of course."
Orders were soon taken and Olivia got Walter's attention once again. "Walter, why would my abilities come out now and not right after Jacksonville when I was given Cortexiphan?"
"As I said before, you need an emotional trigger."
"So teleporting a few miles away, out of bed into the middle of no where could be triggered by a nightmare?"
Astrid looked at them, "wait, you just…well that would explain the covers."
"A nightmare perhaps, what was the nightmare about?"
Olivia looked down, "I'd rather not talk about it…its personal."
A cough made them look up, they found the town deputy, the woman was a looker. Blonde hair and blue eyes, she was cute but defiantly not 'mess with me' material. "I'm Avery Judge, I'm Havenhall's Deputy…I was told to look for you, the sheriff wants to see you."
Peter stood up, knowing Olivia would want to size up the deputy. She slid from the booth and looked at the woman. "Olivia…"
"I know who you are Agent Dunham, my brother works for the FBI…Collin Judge."
Olivia nodded, "Agent Judge…also known as the FBI's reigning playboy. Do you have a problem with me?"
"I have a problem with you working this case with a junior agent, a madman and a con, just what type of division are you running exactly?"
"That's classified, now…if you could tell me where Sheriff Taylor is, we'll meet with him after the Bishops are fed…they work horribly on an empty stomach."
Judge snorted and looked at Peter as he stood behind Olivia, "we'll be watching Mr. Bishop here and as far as his father is concerned…if he's found without a companion, we'll escort you to the city limits in seconds."
"This is FBI jurisdiction, this is our case…you can give us assistance or we can play this the hard way. Where my boss calls your state senator, who comes down here and talks to your mayor personally…who in turns fires you and your sheriff. I suggest if you want to keep your job then you cooperate with our investigation."
Judge shook her head, "you FBI agents are all the same…you think you own the ground you walk on."
The lights began to flicker and Peter grabbed Olivia's arm, "calm down 'Livia, calm down."
The lights returned to normal and Olivia took a breathe, "that maybe what you think Deputy Judge but our division deals with things you would never touch…from what I was faxed, this is our type of case and I can honestly say you're not prepared for it."
"Oh I was told what was out there and from what I've seen, its some type of animal…nothing the FBI needs to worry about. We'll hunt down the piece of hell that did this and then hang it in Town Hall when we're done."
"But you didn't see it?" Peter looked at her, "so you honestly don't have any idea what it is. From what I've seen, anything that does what those photos suggest means that its lethal, deadly and most likely protecting a nest. You don't want to send more men out only to end up like your victim."
Judge looked at him, "as far as we're concerned Mr. Bishop, you have no reason to be here. We don't want trouble and a con man is trouble."
"Oh you haven't seen trouble yet, if you think I'm trouble…piss off Agent Dunham and you will be wishing that you'd never been born. As far as my past, its in the past and I have no reason to justify my past actions to you. Just know I'm here to work within legal limits and for the FBI."
"Peter Bishop is second-in-command on my team Deputy Judge, anything said to me can be said to him. He works side by side with me on this case, every courtesy is to be extended to him and to his father…don't think that because his badge says 'consultant' instead of 'agent' doesn't mean he isn't protected as if an agent. He's one of our own, even my director will tell you we'd turn over the universe to protect him but that protection doesn't extend to criminal activity…of that I assure you."
Peter laughed to himself, not out loud though, he had done some pretty illegal things while working with Olivia and the entire time they'd protect him. Her words were truth and also full of shit, she'd sooner protect him from both illegal actions and alternate universes then fail him again.
A/N: What out, Olivia is protective of Peter and it seems he is the only one to calm her. Next is a little intimate moment between the two, one that Olivia finally opens up about her time on the other side.
