BQ

I have never seen anyone get thrown around as much as Hi-Tech was. I almost felt sorry for the guy. Almost. It was actually kind of funny. I had to hold back a laugh when he landed on his back for the eighth time. Beast just patted his shoulder as he rejoined us on the sidelines. The Tunnel Rat guy actually was not half bad. He was able to dodge Snakes' first few shots; but he still ended up on the ground, tazed and beaten.

"Alright," Sargent Stone picked up the stick, "that was an 'okay' job. Don't feel bad no one was has ever gotten a hit on Snake; except Duke, but that was just luck." He handed the stick tazor. "Now it's your turn."

I stared at it for a moment and scowled. I grabbed it from him and joined Snake Eyes on the mat. I glanced at Beast who just raised her eyebrows at me. I sighed. What part of weapons specialist do these people not get? Hand-to-hand is not my thing and I don't like to lose. There is only one thing a person will be doing who is close enough for me to hit, and a punch to the jaw might ruin the mood.

Snake Eyes took a swing at me. I saw it coming and turned my body to dodge, then he seemed to change direction and the pole ended up hitting my side. Five thousand volts went through me, pushing me to one knee. Snake started spinning the pole for another assault. "Stop! I'm done!" I got up and threw the awful thing to Beast, who caught it easily. "I lost got it. We don't need a repeat."

Beast

I smirked. 'Clearly BQ doesn't feel like getting repeatedly beaten today.

Stone spoke, "Beast you're up."

I was already across from Snake Eyes and ready. He took a swing and moved like he did with BQ. I dodged and brought up the baton around me to block his next swing. He spun around to get my other side. I jumped away but not before I felt to tingle in my nerves as the tazor part grazed my arm. This continued for was seemed like a while. 'I'm tired of this running.' I planted the end of the baton on the ground and pulled myself up, swinging around it and knocking Snake's baton away. I released the pole let the rest of the energy from my swing push me onto Snake Eyes. I ended up straddling him. I quickly weaved my legs under his as he tried to pull out, grabbed his side and flipped him. He was about to grab my leg when-

"That's enough." Stone interrupted. He walked over, looking just about ready to separate us. "Very good, Beast. I've never seen him get this beat. No offense, Snake Eyes." He turned to face the gawking Joes. "And rest of you let's go we're done. This isn't pay-per-view."

The rest of the Alpha team dispersed. BQ hesitated before winking at me and following Roadblock. I then realized I was still straddling on Snake Eyes. We stared at each other for a few seconds before I scrambled off him. He got up and bowed slightly; copied him. We stood in the relative quiet till Snake started signing. "Would you like me to show you to your quarters?"

I smiled as I let out a breath. "I would like that very much."

He stared walking towards the stairs and I followed right behind him.

OoO

A/N: Short, I know, but I wanted to get it up.
