Kit smiled, almost evilly, at Tristan as he finished his stammering. She find reasons for Tristan to work longer and harder than normal tomorrow. She could be the queen of payback, when she wanted to be. Jack could see the wheels turning, and inched away to the far edge of his chair. Not that she would do anything to him. He hadn't said a word. Nor would he ever. Being bi was a very helpful thing sometimes.

Tristan did not like the way Kit was looking at him and suspected he would feel the hurt tommorow. He said nothing more on the matter.
A familiar face walked in that night. Rico. Atakais old friend from the alchemist city. he was in regular cloths tonight and had just transphered to the capital to be in a new firehouse.
Rico did not seem to recognize kit in her suit so he just sat down at the counter and minded his bussiness.

Kit tapped Rico's shoulder lightly.
Two times you don't recognize me. Should I feel insulted?
She asked him, noticing the weird looks Jack was giving her. She apparently seemed to know everybody now, and it surprised him more than anything. Just in case that didn't give him any major hints, she added a bit more.
Kit, the girl you saved from the burning building. Atakai's friend.
Jack began to recognize Rico now, and he turned back to his drink--Which was kind of just plain water. But that was beside the point. He slipped his hand up to the glass, just now realizing it had been on his gun. It didn't bother him, though. He had known for quite a long time that he was protective of his friends. Especially friends he deemed worthy of flirting with. Ianto had been one, as had Rose, the Doctor, Gwen, and, on this planet, Kit. Atakai might not notice Kit all the time, but Jack certainly did.

Rico was a bit confused at first but recognized Kit in time to say her name the same time she said it to him. "yeah! I remember you. God its been awhile" He set his drink down and smiled. "You look good in that suit. You work with the governement now?"
Finally someone said she looked nice in the suit. Rico said. "I have been transphered here recently. The whole firefighter idea is spreading like wildfire. So the capital declared that every major city should have a department or a couple'
He looked to Jack and could not help but feel nervouse about him. "So yeah, thats some stuff about atakai huh? A hero now? Well he was always a unsung hero like the rest of us but they make him a national one. What do you think of it?"

It's good for the government and the firefighters and all that, I'm just hoping it doesn't get the wrong people looking into him.
Of course, this worry only made sense because they did work for the NSA on strange crimes. The stranger they were, the less likely they were to catch the perpetrator, but also the more likely said person would come to get them. Jack leaned on the countertop, peering over with a smile.
Captain Jack Harkness. It's--
Good lord Jack! Do you ever stop flirting?
I was just saying hello! You're as bad as the Doctor!
Kit rolled her eyes and whacked Jack over the head.
Ow! Make that worse!
Needless to say, he got hit again. Kit turned her attention back to Rico.
Sorry 'bout him. He'd chase after anything on two legs.
Met someone with four legs once, actually. He was-
Not now, Jack.

Rico was not amused by Jack at all. "its alright ma'am" He said to kit. "We got gay guys at the house. But they dont stay long" He gave no indication as to what they did to make them leave. But it was clear Rico was not going to tolerate it if Jack tryed anything hands on.
Rico started to show less intrest in what Atakai was up to and more into Kit. Occasionally talking to jack as well to be polite. So near the end of working hours he stood up with a wobble from all the wiskeys.
"So" He said. "Thank god my dads dead so he dosent hear this. He was from the old generation ya know. So will you walk a guy home?"
Yeah normally it was the other way round but these were new times. As they walked he said. "About that question you asked earlier. I guess I do this job cuz its in the blood. My fathers father was one and so on. But those were in the days where they did not have oxygen masks or rigs. Heh. My old man use to say back in the day firefighters use to run into burning buildings with a bucket of water in one hand and a cigerette in the other. Ah, good times. When you start to hang around my family you will hear those "Back in the day" storys'
he sighed for a minute as they stopped in front of the firehouse he used as his home. "but then again not much as changed since the old days. We McCreary men always die young. If it aint in a fire its cuz of a failed liver" he laughed at the drinking joke.
"Well this here is my home. Cant afford to get an apartment yet with the damn ex raping me off all I have. But better then sleeping in the streets. Goodnight" With that he started to walk to the firehouse doors.

A younger looking man without a shirt leaned out one of the windows. "your late asshole!" Rico yelled back in his Irish accent. "Shutup Probie! Kiss my white irish ass" With that he threw a bottle of booze and hit the wall below the window.

Kit smiled and laughed, even as the bottle nearly the guy. She dashed backwards as the remaining liquid came raining down along with the pieces of shattered glass.
Well, if you have liver problems it'd probably be cheaper and easier to come to me. Healing extraordinare. And if you hear of anything weird going on, let me know. Weird stuff's my speciality.
She was turning to walk away when a few other firefighters came to the window. She heard the catcalls, and was turning around to glare at them, perhaps throw something at them, when she heard a vaguely familiar noise. They pulled their heads back in to stare at a small, blue box appearing inside the station.
See?! When I fly it, it's a hell of a lot smoother than when you do!
Kit frowned slightly, then smiled.
And I know that voice. Alexx from the future that never was. Apparently her dad let her at the controls.
She mused to herself, walking back over to Rico.
Mind if I come in?

Ash's voice could be heard as she entered the building followed by her supposed dead brothers, Rothgar. "You call that flying. I'm paralyzed from the waist down and still could have done better. "
"I agree doc. Dont let her at the controls again. I think my heart said screw this and bailed out on me back there. Rico was standing and looking at the cube with all the other firefighters.
"Oh now thats new. Never started seeing things before from drinking" An alarm blared followed by a robotic female voice. "Ladder 69, fire at the hospital on 23 street." Rico grunted as he opened up a jar with getto looking tape that said. "Magic Pills". And indeed they were. They killed hangovers instantly.
"Just another day in paradise" He said to the others as they dropped to there boxers and slipped in there suits. Rico grabbed a hold of a pole and slipped to the garage level where the teams soon were screetching out on the road on there Rig.

I'm still learning. And I don't think you've never had him fly, Ash.
Alexx replied, jabbing a thumb at her father.
Yeah, well, I did, uh.. Fail... my flying test.... Now then! Let's see where we are!
Just as he opened the door to poke his head out, the Doctor nearly got trampled by Kit, who had flailed a hand at Rico as a sort of 'goodbye and good luck' wave.
You're back!
She ran over, giving Rothgar a long hug that probably was cutting off his breathing a little bit before giving a smaller hug to everybody else in the Tardis. She didn't even realize she was still in her uniform, in which she looked entirely different than in the looser fitting clothes they had last seen her in.

Rothgar took the hug with better nature then expected. He had obtained a manner of mental peace since he last left.
"Sis.!" He held her by both shoulders and looked her over. "Wow, never thought I would ever see you in a monkey suit.
He had no idea of what she did now and would more then likely disaprove.
Rico hopped out his fire engine as soon as they stopped in front of the burning hospital. Another team was busy getting the ladder ready and the chief was pointing and yelling instructions at the newer kids who just joined.
Rico put on his mask and as usual was the first to take the step into the flaming inferno. But not before making a religious hand signal before doing so. As the old saying went. There were no athiests in foxholes.....
Rothgar looked around at the building they were in and looked back to kit. "So why are you in a firehouse?" A big smile crossed his face. "You finally came to your senses and are seeing a guy right?" He crossed his arms.
"You told mom and dad yet. I know dad did not care but mom will be happy you found a man" Rothgar was jumping the gun at the moment in his assumptions. But more concerning was the poor responsibility that fell on kit. To tell Rothgar that there father had passed on.

Actually, I'm not seeing anyone. Just walking a drunk friend home and heard the Tardis. Came in. Though, Jack still hasn't stopped trying.
She replied, adding a bit of humor before her face fell when it sunk in that Rothgar didn't know.
And Dad...has been dead, for a few year now. While you were still missing, actually. There was just never the time to tell you before. Grandpa's still kicking, taking care of mom when she needs a man around. They still follow some of the old ways, so now and then she needs him to speak for her, or get her certain things. Like dad did.

Rothgar made a fist in anger at the news. Anger not at Kit for not telling him before. But anger at himself in not being there for his mother when dad passed away. To control his anger Rothgar bit into his knuckles and then slowly sank away to be alone.
Just as Rico McCrearys family was full of drunks Kits family was full of very easily depressed people. Rothgar would not be fully himself for awhile. While Kit and the others caught up Rico and his comrades finally came back.
Seeing Kit still standing near there lockers he took off his helmet and rubbed a forearm across his black soot covered face. "You know. I never got a reward for pulling you out of that fire. How about I take you out for dinner sometime"
Another firefighter stood beside Rico. "I dunno bro. She looks like a d**e..." Rico turned around and punched him in the jaw but it did little to the man accept make his lip bleed.
Weak bro."Alright, I know. None of my damn bussines" Keeping the tough exterior befitting most men of his job the man walked away like nothing happened.
Rico quickly called after him. "You know I luv ya right?" The man just gave him the middle finger with a smile. "Yeah I know"

Kit glanced past Rico at the man walking away and shook her head.
Why do I have to keep telling people I can take damn good care of myself?
She muttered, with a bit of a sigh, but then shrugged.
But, I suppose. What could it hurt?
Alexx grinned and was about to say something when a band of cloth appeared and gagged her. Muffled grunts of annoyance came from behind the gag before the Time Lord managed to get it off.
Ki-it!
Don't need to hear it, Alexx.
The other girl grumbled and slipped back into the Tardis. Kit moved a bit, so she was leaning against the blue box, with it's light up sign that read' Police Public Call Box'. A broad flat surface was nicer to lean against than the corner she'd been leaning against before.
When will this dinner be, then?

Rico had not actually planned on Kit agreeing. He figured she was the kind of girl that played hard to get. "Uh, What time is best for you?" He asked her. Unfortunatly the planning would have to wait as Kit got a messege from her rider Zarza. "I need you here. I have unwelcome company. Monster hunters"
Zarza had changed much because of his lycan mutation. His hair turned white and his eyes glowed slightly yellow like a wolfs. He was in an ally now with Monster hunters on both sides with there bolt action hunting rifles that were wrapped in dirt colored tattered cloth.
"Nice swords" One said as he looked at the two elven blades on Zarzas back that formed a X. "But your living in the past lycon. What use are swords against guns?"
Zarzas yellow slitted eyes narrowed and he let out a very wolf like growl before saying. "You rely to much on your guns hunters.
Some hunters appeared on the roof of a building overlooking the ally and pointed there rifles ready.
A hunter with a cloth veil over his face laughed. "maybe.... There is a bounty on your head freak. Zarza raised an eyebrow. "how much?" The hunter replied. "Nine G's
Zarza frowned. "Only nine? Geeze. I'm insulted. I expected at least 20" The hunter pulled out a machete from a sheath on his hip. "Just do us all a favor and die. There is no hope for you. All our weapons are made of silver. Just a single prick and your dead wolf man"
Zarza shook his head and sighed to take both elegant blades in his hands. "Boy oh boy. The price of freedom is steep. Bring it on"
In that instant the night erupted into gunfire. Zarza with his super human speed and reflexes started to dodge hissing rounds all around him or deflecting them with a flash of his blades. Knowing he was outmatched Zarza started to kick off the walls of the narrow allyway until he was on the roof and grabbed a young looking hunter by the rifle and flung him off the roof.
The other orphaned hunter shot at Zarza and he deflected the hissing round with a blade. The kid started to messs around with his rifle that jammed and Zarza took that chance to slash the youth across his chest that was protected only by a leather vest adorned with bones. Some even were the teeth of dragons.
The Rifle went flying out the wounded hunters hand and clattered to the ground just as he fell to a knee in defeat. Atakai crossed his blades to form a scissor near the hunters throat.
"Do it" The youth said. "you mutants killed my family. I would rather die then live with the shame of this defeat Zarza shot a eye to the sky as kit came flying in. "As you wish boy" he said to the young hunter sarcastically and cut the boys throat.
The hunter fell sideways to the floor with a thud. The stairwell door to the roof banged open as more hunters came through the opening.
Zarza put a blade back on his back and pointed to the young orphaned hunters with his other blade. "Burn the flesh from there bones... " He told kit coldly by mind.
