The dark haired man's current name was Simon Tam and the year was 2517. The well traveled male was born Harry James Potter on July 31st 1980. You may be wondering how such a being was still alive after 537 years. The simple answer is that when the ancient was eleven he learned he was what was called at the time a wizard. Very few others of the warlock's kind have ever reached the heights of power and mastery over so many subjects that the over five century old sorcerer had. During his childhood at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Harry made many friends, enemies, and some lovers. By the time the green eyed teen's education in the wizarding world was over all but a few of these befriended individuals were dead. A great war between magic users wiped most of magical Europe off the map.
By the time Harry ended the war by killing the opposition's leader, Tom Riddle, the last Potter was done dealing with the bigotry, hate, and constant fighting of the magical world. Before leaving the wealthy wizard withdrew his fortune from the goblin run bank Gringotts and converted it into many different forms of precious metals, all stored in a magical trunk he carried shrunken with him at all times. The wise mage augmented his family's magical library discovered in his family vault with books of all kind in honor of his lost love, Hermione Granger. The newly free young man found himself with a thirst for knowledge that Hermione would have been proud of. After the death of Albus Dumbledore, the former headmaster of the warrior warlock's school, the shrewd young survivor raided the manipulative former administrator's office to find many treasures stashed away. Among these treasures was a Philosopher's Stone along with notes from Dumbledore on how to use the Stone to make the Elixir of Life and produce duplicates of the highly magical object. The old man had once been apprenticed to Nicholas Flamel, the creator of the Stone, and had apparently learned enough to duplicate the immortality granting object.
Harry started taking the Elixir at the age of twenty. The green eyed young male wasn't worried about never appearing to age because he had discovered he was a metamorphmagus shortly after the old man's death. The shape shifter's magical powers had rapidly increased when he turned seventeen. Harry would later learn that the old man had seen fit to bind a good deal of the young orphan's powers to keep the Boy Who Lived in line for when the old bastard had need of the last Potter as his weapon to end the war. In order to escape his growing following among the magical population the curious mage began traveling the world learning all manner of magical and mundane disciplines alike.
Something about advanced muggle physics struck a cord with the traveling wizard and so he began studying the subject fervently. By the time the last Potter had mastered several fields and traveled all over the world many years had passed since the start of his adventures. It became clear to the immortal warlock that the Earth wasn't long to survive. The Earth's population had reached well over nine billion and was consuming the planet's resources at an alarming rate. During his travels the messy haired sorcerer concentrated on collecting all of the historical data that he could find along with just about every other database the well learned man could gain access to. Everything collected went into the sorcerer's trunk which he poured his power into in order to expand the space within the enchanted luggage to unheard of proportions. The skilled arithmancer actually had to redesign the space expansion charm to create an entire pocket dimension beyond the scope of what was envisioned when the magic was first crafted.
The warlock's old friend Dobby the house elf aided the conservationist in his preservation efforts. Together the duo collected artifacts, several pairs of every animal (both magical and mundane), and all types of plant life. With the help of his house elf friends Dobby was able to transfer truly staggering amounts of rock and soil into Harry's trunk space the two had decided to call Sanctuary. By then humans were exploring Earth's solar system with ease. Purchasing a spaceship Dobby and the resourceful wizard flew out into the Kuiper belt and harvested several asteroids. Once the immense masses were inside of his trunk the skilled sorcerer fused them together into one moon sized mass with the most powerful Fiendyfire spell that was likely ever cast. The magical exhaustion after the casting of that spell had left the warlock unconscious for a week straight but the young immortal recovered. The elves layered Sanctuary with soil which they immediately began planting. With the aid of growth accelerant magic the group of magicals soon had a fertile habitable small moon.
Harry designed a runic array to artificially increase the gravity of the Sanctuary moon to match Earth's gravitation pull. The elves then began transferring in all of the animals their new master had collected and organizing the creatures into groups so they wouldn't harm each other. Large buildings were constructed to store all of the objects collected. An immense computer database was built to store the information archived along with several backups. After the initial setup of Sanctuary the former hero with a "saving people thing" as a young bushy haired witch once put it decided he couldn't very well leave humanity to the doom it had created for itself. By the time the mage had brought Phoenix, the ship he had purchased, back from the Kuiper belt to Earth several decades had passed. The last Potter could find no trace of the wizarding world from his youth over a century before.
Using his immense engineering and physics knowledge Harry had designed a large database of technologies, most of which humanity wasn't ready for. Humanity needed a way to reach other star systems. Using a made up identity the solitary wizard released the designs for a technology based artificial gravity generator just large enough to work on ships. More importantly the renamed Harry gave humanity faster than light capability. The principle of the propulsion technology was based off of a modification the sorcerer had made to portkey travel. The drive opened a path through the same dimension portkeys traversed and would take the traveler across many light years of space in a very short time. Humanity was quick to leave Earth after that technology was released and expand out into the galaxy. The fleeing humans terraformed other worlds and began inhabiting the habitable planets.
Soon more war broke out with this conflict being for Unification under one government calling themselves the Alliance. Harry took the Phoenix into the core worlds, the planets making up the heart of Alliance territory, and helped the young government set up their computer systems during their early years. The experienced warrior could see the new government was going to win the war long before the battles ended. Always looking for an opportunity, the immortal mage placed many backdoors into the Alliance computer systems waiting for their creator to use them. In case they by some miracle discovered these backdoors the techno-mage placed a limited artificial intelligence loosely based off of a wizard's portrait spell in the Alliance mainframe. The AI would make sure its creator would always have access when he needed it.
After centuries in space working on Sanctuary and exploring, Harry decided he needed to rejoin humanity so that he didn't lose touch. Setting Phoenix to always follow his magical signature under invisibility cloak the shape shifter started to live as a human once more on a core world. During one of his many lives the dark haired mage practiced medicine as a trauma surgeon while discretely testing his patients for magical abilities. The last Potter was hoping to discover what had become of the wizarding race. During this time the skilled doctor also started corresponding with a gifted girl named River Tam through a pen pal program. The two developed quite a friendship until the dark haired young woman was accepted into a special Alliance program for the gifted.
When River sent her long distance friend a coded message telling him the program coordinators were hurting her and asked him to help her he acted quickly. Harry created the identity of Simon Tam, River's older brother, and embedded that identity sufficiently into the Alliance computer records to make it real to any who checked. Secreting River away on the Phoenix might be safer but it wouldn't draw out her jailors and torturers, the ones who messed up her mind. River was very different once the warlock broke her free of the "Academy" they had kept her in. The ancient warrior wanted to know what the bastards had been trying to do to his young friend. The Alliance operatives behind the Academy were fairly smart.
The operatives kept their computers off the main networks and all of the people who were around River at the time Harry broke her out didn't know anything of importance. The resourceful mage suspected the operatives had finally cracked River's coded letter after it had already been sent and subsequently thought someone might be coming for her. So the Academy officials moved the young gifted brunette away from all important information. Even Harry's legilimency didn't do him any good if the people around River didn't know anything of import. So finally the dark haired male decided to keep her out in the open in a way to draw in the bastards who had fucked with his friend. This brought the master of many crafts to his current location, the planet Persephone where he is looking for a transport ship while River waits safely tucked away in a stasis chamber that he will use to transport her in secret.
"Hello there," Harry greeted an attractive young woman looking to be about his apparent age as she sat out behind a Firefly class ship.
"Hi…I'm Kaylee," replied the beauty nervously as she stood up. The perceptive warlock could tell she was nervous because she was attracted to him. With age has come the ability to read people much better than as a youth, although it wasn't particularly hard with Kaylee. "Are you looking for a ride…I mean transport?"
Harry smiled at the attractive woman's slip with the double entendre.
"Why yes Kaylee I am looking to book passage in your fine looking birth," the mage flirted.
"I don't know about fine looking," Kaylee muttered with a slight smile. "Do you like ships?" The slim female inquired curiously.
"Very much so," Harry announced which sparked off a discussion about the particular craft Kaylee was sitting behind.
It just so happened that Harry had designed this particular class of ship long ago when he had spent time living as an engineer on a core planet during one of his infrequent trips to check up on the Alliance. Kaylee eventually got around to talking about passage on the ship and the two quickly agreed on a price. River and the immortal's other things were soon being loaded into the cargo bay of Serenity, the Firefly. As the long lived wizard was making sure everything was handled properly he met the Captain, Malcolm Reynolds, an interesting fellow to be sure.
"Mal this is Simon, Simon this is our Captain," introduced Kaylee.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Captain," Harry greeted as he walked up and shook the man's hand with a firm grip that Mal matched.
"Welcome aboard," Mal declared before releasing the dark haired scientist's hand and walking up the ramp. "Is this all we got?" Mal questioned Kaylee.
The gorgeous mechanic nodded her affirmative before gracing the resident magical with a cute smile. The shape shifter favored Kaylee with a grin as well before walking further onto the vessel.
"Now we have a boat full of citizens right on top of our stolen cargo," the extremely perceptive immortal overheard Zoe, Mal's second, whisper to her Captain with the aid of a listening charm. "That's a fun mix."
"Ain't no way in the verse they could find that compartment even…," Mal began but cut off talking as another passenger, a man named Dobs, walked by. "Even if they were looking for it," Mal finished.
"And why is that?" Zoe questioned her boss.
"Cuz," was Mal's only response.
"Oh yeah…this is going to go great," muttered Zoe.
Serenity was soon in space and the new arrivals were being given the standard speech for passengers.
"Meals are taken up here in the dining area. The kitchen's pretty much self explanatory. You're welcome to eat what there is anytime. Protein in all the colors of the rainbow is the standard stock. We do have sit down meals, the next one being at about 1500," explained Reynolds.
"I think Sheppard Book has offered to help me prepare something," Kaylee announced while gesturing at the modern version of a priest.
"You're a Sheppard?" Mal asked.
"I thought the outfit gave it away," Book answered. "Is it a problem?"
"Of course not…it's not a problem…because it's not," Kaylee hastily assured the mocha skinned man with a smile while looking a bit unsurely at the Captain.
"No," agreed Mal. "As I said you're welcome to visit the dining area anytime. Apart from that I have to ask you to stay in the passenger dorm while we're in the air. The bridge, engine room, and cargo bay…they're all off limits without an escort."
"And if we need to get to materials in the cargo bay," the warlock probed.
"I figure you all got luggage you need to get into. As soon as we are done here we'll be happy to fetch them with you," answered Mal. "Now I have to tell you all one other thing and I apologize in advance for the inconvenience. Unfortunately we've been ordered by the Alliance to drop medical supplies off on White Fall. It's the forth moon around the planet Athens. It's a little out of our way but we should have you on Boros no more than a day off schedule," the Captain lied smoothly.
The cover story was so the crew could sell their illegally salvaged cargo Harry knew but the sorcerer had no problem with that. The Alliance's salvage laws were idiotic anyway, designed to give greedy politicians more money.
"Zoe, want to take them to the cargo bay?" Mal requested of the attractive dark beauty.
"Yes sir," agreed Zoe before leading the group of passengers off.

Cargo Bay, several minutes later…
"Ah the ambassador graces us with her presence," Mal sarcastically commented as a beautiful woman walked onto the catwalk leading into the bay.
"Hello Mal, I see we have some new faces," was Inara's response.
"Hey you," Kaylee greeted her long time friend with a smile.
"Hey you," Inara answered with a matching smile.
"Ambassador, this is Sheppard Book," Mal introduced.
"I'd have to say this is a first time we've had a preacher onboard," announced Inara.
"Well I wasn't expecting to see a state official either Ambassador," Book greeted as he shook Inara's hand, causing Mal to laugh. "I'm missing something funny," Book spoke in realization.
"Not so funny," Kaylee declared while not looking happy with Mal.
"Ambassador is Mal's way of," began Inara only for Mal to cut her off.
"She's a whore Sheppard," Mal spoke up.
"The term is companion," Kaylee clarified.
Campanions came about after prostitution became legal in the Alliance. These women are the cream of the crop as far as prostitutes are concerned. Harry had never had to pay for sex and likely never would but looking at the very beautiful Inara was making him rethink that policy.
"I always get those mixed up. How's business?" Mal questioned Inara.
"None of yours," Inara replied with a less than warm smile.
"She is pretty much our Ambassador. There're plenty of planets that wouldn't let you dock without a decent companion onboard. This isn't a problem for you is it Sheppard?" Mal inquired in a reversal of the earlier discovery of Book being a Sheppard.
"While I…I certainly," struggled Book.
"It's alright," spoke up Inara. "I mostly keep to myself. When I'm not whoring," Inara directed at Mal as she turned to leave.
"Don't you want to meet the rest of the bunch," Mal rubbed salt into the wound.
"Why don't you make sure they want to meet me first," Inara replied as she turned to walk off with Kaylee.
"So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this?" Kaylee questioned her friend with a dreamy quality to her voice as the two beauties walked up the steps.
"Just the one, I think I'm slipping," Inara declared with a sigh.
It was obvious Mal liked Inara and didn't want her whoring as the Serenity's Captain put it. Harry didn't think Reynolds was a very bright man if that was how he showed his affections. Reynolds' loss was the warlock's thoughts on the matter.

Later, Dining Area…
"This is incredible," praised Zoe to Book as she dished out more vegetables.
"It's not much," Book responded modestly. "I had a garden at the Abby, thought I should bring what I could. It won't last...not as…well as frozen food would. The main thing is the spices. A man can live on packaged food from now until judgment day as long as he's got enough Rosemary. Captain you mind if I say grace?"
"Only if you say it out loud," Mal answered.
The diners all said grace silently in response to Reynolds' answer.
"I hear a lot of those border planets are in bad shape; plagues, famines," spoke up Dobbs.
"Well a lot of that is exaggerated but a lot of it's true. The border planets are as close to Earth that was as we can make them, gravity and atmosphere and such but," began Zoe.
"Once they're terraformed they'll dump settlers on there with nothing but blankets, hatchets, maybe a hurt. Some of them make it. Some of them…," broke in Mal.
"Then I guess it's good we're helping," Harry spoke up.
"You're a doctor right?" Kaylee queried.
"Yes, I was a trauma surgeon on Osiris in the capitol city," the ancient sorcerer confirmed.
"Long way from here," commented Mal.
"You seem so young…to be a doctor," Kaylee told the handsome mage with a warm smile.
"You're pretty young to be a ship's mechanic," the warlock observed.
"Know how…machine's just got workings and they talk to me," Kaylee explained her ability away modestly.
"That's a rare gift," Book complimented.
"Well not like being a doctor, helping fix people… now that's important," Kaylee argued.
"Little Kaylee here just wishes you were a gynecologist," Jayne, an unintelligent large crew member, declared before laughing at his own statement.
"Jayne…you will keep a civil tongue in that mouth or I'll sow it shut. Is there an understanding between us," demanded Mal.
"You don't pay me to talk pretty. Just because Kaylee gets lubed up over some big city dandee," started Jayne.
"Walk away from this table, right now," ordered Mal.
Jayne got up in anger after a moment, grabbing some more food before leaving. As the brute walked out Harry hit the asshole with an impotence curse with his right hand before resting the appendage on the very embarrassed Kaylee's knee, giving her a reassuring smile.

Harry was checking River's pod in the cargo bay when the immortal turned to see Mal waiting for the warlock.
"Forget your toothpaste," spoke Mal before taking a swing at the well trained warrior.
Harry easily dodged the strike before grabbing Reynolds' outstretched wrist and hurling the man beyond where the wizard stood firmly.
"That wouldn't be advised Captain," the mage slowly announced in a clearly menacing tone.
"What'd you tell them?" Reynolds probed as he stood back up, ready to attack again.
"Tell who?" Harry questioned for clarification.
"I got exactly no time for games," declared Mal as he pulled his gun on the mysterious dark haired passenger. "What do they know?" Reynolds demanded as the sorcerer willed an energy shield to the surface of his skin which blocked physical attacks.
"I have no idea who you are talking about," the last Potter replied, playing dumb.
"You're a goram fed," Mal announced as he calked his gun.
"Captain you've got the wrong man," Book spoke up from the side as he indicated behind the two conflicting men with a nod of his head.
Mal and Harry turned to see Dobbs pointing a gun at their chests.
"Son of a bitch," muttered Mal as he lowered his weapon.
"Drop that firearm Captain Reynolds," ordered Dobbs.
"This is not my best day ever," muttered Mal as he dropped the gun and raised his hands.
"Simon Tam, you are bound by law to stand down," Dobbs stated as he approached.
"What…the doctor…oh hey…is there a reward?" Mal inquired as he dropped his hands.
"Get on the ground," demanded Dobbs.
"You are making a very large mistake," the wizard spoke calmly.
"Get on the ground," yelled Dobbs.
"You'd best get on the ground son, the man seems a might twitchy," Reynolds suggested.
"I think everybody could stand to calm down a bit," Book spoke up.
"This isn't your business Sheppard," Dobbs interrupted.
"The boys not going anywhere lawman…as I understand it, it's pretty cold outside," Book replied.
"Not to worry…we'll put Lord Fontroy in one of the passenger cells. He won't make a peep," suggested Mal as he bent down for his gun.
"Get the hell away from that weapon," shouted Dobbs. "Do you think I'm a complete back birth? You are carrying a fugitive across interplanetary borders. And you think I actually believe you're bringing medical supplies to White Fall," Dobbs pointed out with a sneer. "As far as I care everyone on this ship is culpable."
"Well now…that doesn't affect the landscape," Reynolds pointed out sarcastically.
"Please, we are very close to true stupidity here," Book pleaded.
"I've got a cruiser in route for intercept so talk all you want. You got about twenty minutes," informed Dobbs.
"Might have less than that," Mal suggested.
"Yeah…threaten me," Dobbs declared with another sneer towards Reynolds.
"For god's sake," Book censured as he edged closer to the gun wielding federal agent.
"You think I wouldn't shoot a Sheppard, back off," ordered Dobbs as he pointed his weapon at Book.
"Just take the kid," Mal spoke as the Captain made to grab Harry while Book started shouting.
Kaylee picked the wrong time to walk in and ask what was going on. Dobbs whirled to shoot the suspected opponent off to his side, not realizing Kaylee wasn't any threat. As the Alliance agent pulled the trigger Harry moved, faster than any of the mundanes could follow the warrior warlock was in front of the bullet. The projectile impacted the ancient male's shoulder as he blocked Kaylee from being harmed. With a bit of power the sorcerer's shield disintegrated the bullet before it impacted while he then willed an illusion in place to make it look like he was shot and bleeding. The dark haired Potter's "good arm" whipped out and launched a small object directly into the throat of the agent pursuing River.
"How did you get there so fast?" Mal questioned in surprise as the Captain indicated where the mage now stood even as Dobbs choked to death on his own blood, clutching a ruined throat.
"You saved me," gasped Kaylee in realization.
"A scalpel," observed Book in surprise equaling the Captain's as the preacher tried to help the dying Dobbs.
"Alright we need to get the hell out of here. There is a cruiser on its way to this position," announced Mal.
"I'm on it," spoke up Wash as the pilot headed for the bridge.
"I want to know what's going on here," announced Inara.
"Then why don't we find out," suggested Mal as he moved towards River's pod.
"Not a good idea," Harry warned as Jayne moved to grab the battle hardened wizard.
Jayne went flying into a stack of crates while Zoe took the opportunity to draw her gun on the hostile doctor.
"Well let's see what a man like you would kill for," muttered Mal as he opened River's pod. "Huh," was Mal's initial response when the frozen mist cleared to show River's nude form curled up in the bottom of the pod.
"I need to check her vitals," Harry announced calmly.
"Oh is that what they call it," Mal spoke suggestively.
"She wasn't supposed to wake up. The shock," the ancient sorcerer calmly tried to explain before being cut off.
"The shock of what…waking up and finding she had been sold to some border world baron. Or I'm sorry was this one for you? Is it true love because you do seem a little," Mal began before being interrupted by River sitting up screaming.
The dark haired young woman got out of the pod gasping in fright. Harry gave Zoe a hard look daring her to shoot him as he ran to River.
"River it's ok," the mage spoke calmly as he grabbed the frightened female by the arms and channeled a calming charm into her form.
"Simon," River cried in relief and recognition as she quickly settled down. "Simon they talk to me…they want me to talk," the frightened young woman muttered.
"They're gone…we're safe now," the last Potter assured River as he used his legilimency to shield her mind.
As Harry sensed her unrestrained legilimency lash out trying to find a mind the skilled wizard was more confident than ever that River was one of the beings that had become of the wizarding world. When they finally expanded their minds into new subjects once leaving Earth the wizards would have been more intelligent than any mundane could have hoped to be. The magical peoples were never stupid…just lazy. As the science loving sorcerer learned from scans done upon himself the brain physiology of magic users was more advanced than that of a mundane human. The telepathic mage protected River from the thoughts of those around her bombarding her mind.
"What the hell is this?" Mal demanded as River hugged her savior.
"This is my sister," Harry announced believably.

Later, the dining area…
"River and I are both very smart. I was the top of my class in the best school in Osiris. I finished my internship in four months. Music, math, theoretical physics, everything River and I do comes as naturally to us as breathing does to you. There was a school, a government sponsored Academy. River wanted to go while I preferred to learn on my own. She was fourteen. I got a few letters at first and then I didn't hear from her for months. Finally I got a coded letter that just said 'They're hurting us…get me out,'" Harry explained to the assembled crew.
"How'd you do it?" Zoe questioned.
"Time and training…I paid the best of the best to train me in their arts. Thieves, burglars, mercenaries…I've learned from them all. I picked it all up easily," the ancient warlock lied.
"That explains why we couldn't keep a hand on you," muttered Jayne.
"It took two years but I finally did it," the sorcerer added.
"Will she be alright?" Inara inquired in genuine concern.
"They messed with her brain. I'm not sure yet. I just recently got her back," Harry answered.
"That's quite a story son," responded Book.
"Yeah…it's a tale of woe, very stirring. But in the meantime you've heaped a world of trouble on me and mine," spoke up Mal.
"How much does the Alliance know?" Zoe asked her husband Wash.
"I don't know. I killed the message pretty quick so they may just have had our position," answered Wash.
"Or they might have personal profiles on each and every one of us," added Mal.
"So what do we do?" Jayne wanted to know.
"The job…we finish the job. I got word from Patience. She's waiting for us. We slip around to White Fall, make the deal, get out, keep flying," was Mal's reply.
That was that. The Serenity crew went about their business.

Later…
"This is the Captain. We're passing another ship. It looks to be Reavers…from the size probably a raiding party. It could be they're heading somewhere particular or it could be they already hit something and are full up. So everyone stay calm. If we try to run they'll have to chase us. It's their way. We're holding course. We should be passing them in a minute, so we'll see what they do," Mal's voice came over the speaker system. "Zoe you come on up to the bridge."
Harry looked through the hall of the ship using the magical contacts he wore with the same charms as Mad Eye Moody's magical eye possessed. The warrior wizard saw the Reaver ship. The ancient Potter hadn't been out far enough in space since the Reavers first appeared to encounter the beasts. Rumor was the creatures were men gone mad at the edge of space. Reavers rape their victims to death, eat their flesh, and then sow their preys' skins for clothing. Only once the Reavers were past did the sorcerer order the Phoenix to stand down its weapons via the magical connection the wizard shared with his ship.
The Serenity was soon landing on the planet this woman Patience controlled, a sunny desert type world.
It wasn't long after the away party left the Serenity before Wash's voice came over the intercom.
"Reavers, Reavers coming and heading straight for us. We are in the air in one minute," warned Wash.
"I'm heading to the engine room," Kaylee informed her favorite male as she stood up from where the pair had been talking in the dining area.
"I'll join you. I might be of some help," Harry offered.
The attractive mechanic responded with a warm smile and a nod. The Captain, Zoe, and Jayne were soon back from their deal with Patience and the ship took off.
"Kaylee we're going to need a little push here," Wash's voice came over the engine room speaker.
"Ok we're working on it," announced Kaylee.
"This isn't going to work," the perceptive wizard commented as he saw the state of the engine.
"It's all we got," Kaylee pointed out.
"No, it isn't," Harry assured the woman as he pulled out a remote control. Pressing a few buttons the sorcerer waited a moment before grinning as he looked at the control's readout.
"What?" Kaylee prodded her companion curiously.
"Wait for it," The warlock urged with a grin.
"What just happened…the Reavers were blown up?" Malcolm Reynolds wanted to know as he ran into the engine room a moment later. "Did you do something to the ship while we were gone Kaylee?"
"No it was Simon," Kaylee deduced.
"While you were gone I took the liberty of installing an ion canon I designed onto the ship's hull. Here's the remote," the skilled engineer and scientist explained as he gave the Captain the weapons remote.
"Shiny," the Captain declared with a wide grin.
"It will retract into the hull to hide from detection," the helpful mage added.
"Kaylee you might be right about it being handy to have him around," Mal told the beautiful mechanic. "The ship could use a medic. You definitely ain't weak. You interested?" Mal questioned the dark haired jack of all trades.
"Definitely…you won't regret it Captain," Harry assured the man before Reynolds left.
"Thank you for putting in a good word with him," the warlock spoke as he turned to face a beaming Kaylee.
"It's the least I could do for saving my life. But I have a much better idea for a thank you," Kaylee whispered as she nervously walked up and kissed the handsome male.
