A/N: Hey guys! Here's chapter 11. The next couple of chapters are going to be jam packed with cute moments, comedy and lots of action. Hopefully you guys enjoy them! Also, bonus points for anyone who can tell me which song the Aloha Girls are singing in this chapter. I figure now would be a good time to clear somethings up and then give you guy some good news!

So, I get a lot of requests to post more frequently and I'd love to thank you guys for being so excited to read more but, unfortunately, I can't post more frequently at this time. At the current moment I have quite a few chapters written in advance, but I go through dry spells frequently and won't write, or will focus on another story, for sometimes months at a time. I'm keeping this pace so that if I go through a dry spell I will still have chapters to post for you. If I don't, this story may go weeks if not months without an update and I don't want that. So for now, we're going to keep it at a chapter a week, unless I get even farther than expected and then I'll try the twice a week option.

On to the good news! So I've decided that I will post that Bonus chapter I mentioned last chapter. It will be posted when this story reached 100 reviews. I just have one request. As I like to put some space between the last bonus chapter and the next one, I am asking that you guys don't do that review a million times in one day thing again. Right now, I'm just under 70 reviews, this story averages at 8-10 reviews a chapter and that is just enough to get the bonus chapter in about 3 or 4 chapters.

So that's my essay for today XD. I hope this chapter pleases everyone and I'll see you guys next week!

Chapter 11

Steve was killing it with Aloha girls. He didn't even care that Danny and Rowan were sitting by the Troop Leader and all three adults had stunned looks on their faces. All the girls were wearing big huge smiles and that was all that mattered.

"Boars are dangerous and unpredictable beasts," he told he girls who were all in awe of him. "They are everywhere on this island. They are all around us right now and they can attack without warning. So you guys have to be ready to protect yourself at all times."

He was going for a minor scare tactic. Unfortunately, he got hit with a twinge of regret the second he saw Rowan glance around the camp grounds nervously. God she was as skittish as a cat sometimes. At this rate she was going to demand to sleep in the Camaro or with Steve in his tent. Though that last option didn't sound that bad, he could live with that option.

"All right, good. We're gonna talk about the kill zone now," he said as he fished out his hunting knife. Trying very hard to avoid Rowan's eyes who unfortunately looked horrified by this.

He tried not to notice the Troop Leader lean in and whisper something in Rowan's ear. He tried not to let it kill him that she then excused herself and left the fireside with Troop leader Michelle following after. He couldn't help it though, he started to frown.

It had been tough living with Rowan and his mother ever since Doris and Rowan had solidified whatever treaty they had. They were a united front against Steve ever since her slip down the stairs. Either Rowan's accident had been directly caused by Doris or something else had happened. Either way with Rowan most likely hanging a cloud of guilt over Doris's head the woman had been agreeing to everything Rowan had asked for or said. But there was one thing they hadn't agreed on and that had been Alex.

Steve would have hoped that after getting to know Alex, his mother would have seen that he and Rowan would never last. That Alex was no good for her. But that was not what happened. Not only had Doris loved Alex but after spending enough time with him she felt the need to announce that she thought he was perfect for Rowan… and that he bore a remarkable resemblance to Steve. She then went on to add that if that had been done on purpose it would be an easy fix to make sure Rowan ended up with the person she actually wanted to be with.

Rowan and Steve had been flabbergasted. Neither of them had noticed any similarities between her Nurse and Steve. But after some not so discrete questioning Steve realized that everyone on Five-0 thought the same thing, they just hadn't said anything because they figured it would cause tension. And partially because they had a bet on when Steve and Rowan would figure it out, who would figure it out first, and what the reactions would be. Steve was still reeling from the discovery. Why the hell would Rowan want a guy that looked just like him?

"Okay, why don't we learn how to find fresh water or how to make pillows out of flowers or something?" Danny asked as the troop leader wandered off to go find Lucy who still hadn't returned.

"Yeah we can do that," Steve agreed and then chucked his knife at a tree, "Or who wants to learn how to do that?"

"Okay, Rowan, please intervene," Danny said over the cheers of the Aloha girls.

When Steve looked up not only had Rowan appeared again but she was carrying the guitar Chin had bought her. It had upset Steve to learn she could play guitar from Chin, she had never mentioned it to him. Just like she had never mentioned she wrote songs and Steve had to learn that from Alex. When Steve asked why she had never told him she had merely shrugged and said: "You never asked." And well… she had him there. He told himself that he'd ask her all the questions that he wanted to ask her, he even had a list written down to remind himself, but the right time never came and when he did try most of the time she refused to answer.

"Alright Aloha Girls have we been practicing our camp song?" Rowan asked beaming down at them and strumming a few loud chords to get their attention.

All the girls started chanting and Rowan started playing a tune Steve sort of recognized but he didn't know the words. "Alright, so we all know our parts?" she asked and they all called out their affirmations. "Okay, but I'm gonna need help from my special helper."

"We agreed I wouldn't be helping, Rowan," Danny snarled and Steve turned his eyes to Danny with surprise, Rowan was going to make Danny sing? He was her special little helper? Why had he not agreed to come do a demo for the Aloha Girls sooner?

"Well it has to be you cause Uncle Steve can't sing," she said throwing a cheeky grin at Steve.

"Oy! I can sing!" he snapped. Already Danny was leaving his side to go stand by Rowan. The Aloha Girls had all turned their back on him, a blow to his pride that he had lost them so quickly. But this meant Steve could stand there and stare at Rowan to his heart's content with no one to notice, except for Danny.

"Debateable. You forget I've heard you sing in the shower," she called out causing all the girls around them to giggle. Steve's cheeks turned red and his mind walked off a cliff and straight into the gutter. "Besides you don't know the song."

Before Steve could argue she strummed the guitar and then was singing. The girls were around them clapping and even Danny knew the song, standing there, singing along but not clapping, his hands firmly rooted in his pockets. But nothing beat the sound of Rowan's voice, clear and magical. It hypnotized him immediately it gave him a laser focus and all he could see was her. What brought him back was the girls suddenly signing along.

Whoo, whoo, the girls all sang loudly.

"Here I come," Rowan sang.

Whoo, whoo, came from the girls again.

"Back to you," Rowan continued.

"There is no home like the one you've got, 'Cause that home belongs to you," they all sang together. The girls all howled at Rowan's long note like a bunch of wolves which Steve couldn't help but laugh at. The second part of song was apparently all Danny and Steve was struggling to keep his smile and laughter to himself. He tried to be discrete and attempt to take a video of Danny but judging by Danny's glare he had definitely noticed.

Well, I was in trouble bad, I was so confused. I may not dress in color, babe, but I sure can feel blue.

That line, that line Steve knew she wrote just for Danny, made his heart flutter in his chest. He loved that she was considerate enough to make Danny sing a song for Grace and her troop mates and make it specific just to him.

They went for another round of the chorus and Rowan walked over to where Steve was standing. "You think Uncle Steve can keep up?" she asked. The girls cheered and Steve had no choice but to sing it with her.

"Not bad," she said when they were done and the girls giggled at Steve's frustrated face. "Now my Aloha girls!"

They all sang that last line and when they were done they all cheered again. "Alright, Danny, take it home!" she cried and that's just what she and Danny did.

There ain't no home like the one you got, but that home belongs to you!

Steve sang that last line with them, and joined in all the howling they did on that one last you. When they were done he couldn't help but laugh while Rowan jammed out on the guitar for a few more chords.

Once the song was done the girls all clapped and cheered and Steve clapped for Rowan alone. His eyes never left hers as she took her bows and laughed. She looked so happy that Steve wished they could stay that way forever.

"Lucy isn't at the tent!" Troop Leader Madeline cried suddenly appearing again and that happy feeling left almost immediately.

"Maybe she's just gone to the washroom?" Steve offered trying not to notice that Rowan was making a strange face. One he had come to recognize.

"No, she isn't there," Madeline told them.

"Okay, well let's calm down, she can't have gotten far," Steve said noticing that Rowan was heading off to the side. He didn't know why, but he could tell by the look on her face that she was very serious about the situation. Steve ignored the feel nagging him, that strange sensation that hit him whenever Rowan was following a hunch from her other-dimensional-knowledge. Steve shrugged the feeling away, it was a camp out, what could go wrong at a camp out?

H5O-H5O-H5O- H5O

Rowan had remembered the second that Lucy was declared missing. The world had tilted and spun around her as the episode replayed in her mind. For a moment she thought she might pass out but she had gotten a hold of herself. Maybe she could stop the whole episode from happening, she just had to find Lucy before she found Ron.

Rowan walked forward, she knew if she continued she'd bump into the girl but it felt like she should have found her by now. "Lucy?" Rowan called out into the darkness. And she was answered.

Lucy appeared, wearing her pink sweater, and smiling up at Rowan. "Come on he needs help," she said.

Rowan reached out trying to stop her, but missed, which left her chasing after her. When she caught up to Lucy she saw that the little girl was right beside him. "He's hurt his leg," she said and then gave Rowan a detailed description of his injuries.

Rowan reached out and grabbed Lucy by the sweater. "Let's go back to camp and get him help," she said.

"We could help him get there," the little girl offered. "I'm going for my first aid badge."

She looked so excited that Rowan couldn't help but melt. Okay, so she did a little first aid and then let the guy go, that couldn't be too bad right? "Alright, we'll do some first aid, I'll need something to bind the wound."

"Here," Lucy said offering her the sweater she had gone to the tent to get. Rowan took it without argument.

"Can you please find him a walking stick?" Rowan asked. "So that when Ron's ready to go we can send him on his way?"

"He's not going to come back with us?" Lucy asked.

"Nope, Ron's looking for something, right? So we're going to let him go find it," Rowan said not noticing the strange look Ron was now giving her.

"Well, maybe Steve can help us find it?" Lucy offered and then turned to the injured man. "Steve's a Navy Seal, he's knows a lot about Wilderness survival and he works for Five-0."

Rowan finished tying up the tourniquet she made out of Lucy's sweater and noticed that Ron was staring at them funny. She stood quickly to put distance between them.

"How do you know I'm looking for something?" he asked slowly.

Rowan blinked her eyes. Oh goddamn. She glanced at Lucy who had put a walking stick into his hands and tried very hard to signal to the girl to come to her side but she didn't get it.

"Just a hunch," Rowan told him dawning a shaky smile.

"You wouldn't be lying to me would you?" he asked staring her down through his glasses.

Rowan tried to laugh it off. "Nope, not a liar," she said. "Come on, Lucy, let's go!"

"No," Ron said grabbing Lucy's shoulder and not letting go. He pulled a gun and pointed it at Rowan. "You know too much to be just a camper. You're going to tell me just how much you know."

Rowan stared at him. No, she did not want to do that. "I think I'd rather you let go of my camper so we can go back and you can go on your way," she said.

Ron took a small staggering step forward so that the gun was closer to Rowan's face. "Start talking!" he ordered.

"Look, I don't know much. I just know you're looking for something and we have a Navy Seal back at camp who can help you," she said. "If you put the gun down, I'm sure I can trick him into helping you find whatever it is you're looking for."

It was a lie of course. If she got this man to agree she was going to sick Steve on him so hard. But Ron didn't look like he was going to fall for it.

"Do you think I look stupid?" he thundered.

And Rowan narrowed her eyes at him as she looked him up and down. "Well… kinda?" she said with a shrug, which was stupid but hey, she was going for the shock factor here. Ron gapped at her like he hadn't expected that answer and in his stupor Rowan shot forward. She knocked the gun away from him and pried Lucy out of his arms, being sure to kick his injured leg so he'd go down.

Ron screamed out in pain just as Rowan screamed: "Run!" at Lucy. She took two steps away, trying to lose Ron in the foliage by ducking under a low hanging branch when she heard the gun go off and her world vanished in a starburst of white.

H5O-H5O-H5O- H5O

The gunshot echoed in the night which was followed by a scream and Steve's heart stopped in his chest. He moved towards the sound, to where, deep in his heart, he hoped Rowan not to be. He planned to charge into the foliage but the cries of fear of several little girls stopped him. He turned back to them, to tell them that it was okay, that he'd investigate and Danny would stay behind but Danny was saying all of that for him. He took two steps towards the trees, determination hardening his features, and Rowan came into view. She had Lucy's hand in hers and a man behind her had a hold of her shoulder and a gun leveled right with Steve's face.

Rowan's head was bleeding and she looked far from impressed. Steve raised his hands in surrender, he heard Danny behind him and the sound of the girls murmuring in distress and worry.

"Who's your friend, Rowan?" he asked.

"This is Ron, he's a little grumpy from his fall out of the plane," she said.

"Shut up!" Ron shouted shaking Rowan a little causing her to wince. "Which one of you is the Seal?"

Steve shot a glare first to Rowan who had to be the one that told this man who he was and then turned it onto the man with the gun. He raised his hand a little higher. "I'm the Seal," he told him. "Why don't you let the girls go and tell me what you want?"

"I'm not that stupid," Ron said. Steve noted that he was limping and using a walking stick. Great, the man was injured, he could get the upper hand on an injured man if he could just get the gun away from him. "They say you're good at tracking. I lost something up the mountain, you're going to help me find it."

Steve wasn't focusing on Ron, though he should have been, he was staring at Rowan whose eye was twitching. He deduced it was because there was blood running down her face and she was struggling to ignore the urge to wipe it off of her face. If Steve found out that she was pistol whipped by this Ron character Steve was going to shoot the man himself.

"Look man, you're scaring the kids," Danny said taking a step forward.

Ron's arm swung towards Danny, the gun in his hand moving off of Steve's chest to Danny's. The arm knocked into Rowan's head causing her to yelp but she was ignored.

"I don't care. Give me your phones and your weapons!" he ordered. Danny and Steve agreed tossing their phones towards the gunman, Steve tossed his knife, and Madeline gathered all the girl's phones and tossed them at his feet too.

"They don't have weapons, they're children," she spat at him.

"It looks like you're in need of some first aid," Steve told Ron gesturing to his injured leg. "Why don't you let me look at it?"

"Oh yeah, so you can take me out? I don't think so," he snapped.

"Look, Ron, we're losing time. You were supposed to meet your partner hours ago, right? We've got the Seal, let's leave the little girl here and go after your diamonds," she offered.

Steve just stared at Rowan, what the hell was she talking about? And why couldn't she just shut up? Ron squeezed Rowan's shoulder until she cried out in pain, her knees buckling but she didn't fall. Steve took a step forward but Ron kept the gun on him so there he was nothing he could but watch. The anger in him building up.

"How the hell do you know all this?" he shouted at her.

"God! You're not going to like the answer," she told him but when he kept squeezing she cried out: "Alright, alright, I'm psychic, are you happy?"

Ron let her go and Steve let out a sigh of relief, but Ron did not look happy in the least. "You think I'm going to believe that?" he asked her.

"I'm not lying this time, I swear. Look at them they have no idea what I'm talking about and they're the cops!" she said as if that were the best excuse in the world.

"I'm not an idiot!" he shouted at her, the gun waving dangerously close to her.

"Hey, calm down man!" Danny said taking yet another step forward.

Ron swung that gun in his direction and Steve watched this all unfold around him like it was in slow motion. He saw the trigger being pulled but he was too far away to get Danny out of the way. He heard Rowan scream and throw herself towards the gun and he was too far away to stop her. He heard the bang and then he was forced to watch as she dropped to the ground, her hands clutching her head. He didn't even realize he had cried out in fear until all the Aloha girls were screaming in terror around him. He even heard Grace scream Rowan's name.

Steve went to go to her but the gun was trained once more on his chest and he forced himself to stop. "Don't move Sailor!" Ron warned which left Steve staring wide eyed in horror at Rowan's body lying on the ground.

"Ro?" he asked ashamed at how his voice quaked. "Ro?"

Rowan groaned and rolled onto her back, "Oh god I think I'm deaf," she cried. "I'll never sing again!"

Steve let out a string of wry and shaky chuckles. She was alive and she was being overly dramatic. That meant she was okay. "Did he shoot Danny?" she asked from the ground.

"Nope, I'm good," Danny called and Rowan grinned.

"Worth it!" she cried pumping a fist in the air.

Ron grabbed her again and forced her to stand. When she turned Steve could see that she was still wincing, her eye half closed as she shook her head to one side like she was trying to get water out of her ear, no doubt to rid it of the ringing.

"Okay, you've made your point," Steve said. "I'll help you. But let's leave Lucy here."

"True, I'd be a better hostage," Rowan agreed.

"No, she's going to come too. She's my insurance, don't want you two double teaming me," Ron growled, moving his hand to Lucy's shoulder.

"Also true," Rowan said. "Me and Steve don't really get along."

"Not now," Steve hissed shooting a glare at her.

Lucy had started crying. "I don't want to go, I don't want to!"

Ron shook her a bit but that did nothing to quell the crying girl. Rowan put a hand out to
Lucy's and squeezed it tightly, the sight warming Steve's heart. If it weren't such a dire situation he might have said aww but at that moment he was just angry and afraid.

"Okay, everyone in the shed," he ordered gesturing to Danny and the other aloha girls. "Go. Go on. The seal is going to lock you guys in."

As the girls all shuffled to obey and Steve followed after them to do as he was told he caught Danny's eyes. He didn't look too scared but he definitely looked angry. At least Grace was safe.

"Be careful, okay? Bring them back safely," Danny whispered to him.

"Try to get out of here as quickly as you can and call for help," Steve whispered back.

"Hey Danny?" Rowan called interrupting them. "No foundation."

Danny's eyes crinkled in confusion, even Steve was staring at her confused. "What?" he asked.

Rowan's look was serious, like she was willing him to understand through her eyes. "No foundation," she repeated.

"Shut your mouth psychic," Ron ordered hitting her with the gun across the temple that was already bleeding causing her to stagger to the side a bit and swear.

When she straightened Steve saw a look of anger dawn on her face and she half turned to Ron throwing him a dark glare. "That partner you're working with, he's going to shoot you dead. And if you keep it up, I'm going to let it happen."

Steve narrowed his eyes at Ron, Rowan may not have been psychic, but he was more than certain that Rowan was right.
