Author’s Note: This week you’ll be getting two!  Repeat TWO! Postings.

John let the water cascade over his aching body.  It had taken a few hours to transfer back, and all the aches and pain shifted to human form.  Ethan gave him some clothes, while catching him up on everything that happened.

Benji, with made up a ‘Missile Test’ for the poor ship that was still freaking out over the loss of one of their missiles.  The Admiral, had stared at the computer, listening to Benji in his crisp accent, explaining that the CIA had arranged for a ‘Missile Test’ unfortunately it worked.  They had hacked into the ship’s Missile System to see if they could launch one, and accidentally destroying their own headquarters.

The Admiral wasn’t sure if he wanted to scream, cry, or laugh hysterically at the stupidity of some CIA geeks.  Benji assured him they weren’t in any trouble, and that everything was ‘taken care of’.

Beckett transferred back into human form and changed into jeans and t-shirt.  With a call to Joss and her own team, she set up a clean up crew for the hanger bay.  The crew took orders from Ethan who was mimicking a CIA Agent, add in Julia and Brandt behind him wearing crisp black suits, the NYPD crew decided it wasn’t worth their jobs to argue or ask questions.

Mike showed up with clothes and a SUV, stated he got a text message and directions, and with everything that was going on he didn’t even question it, instead got the needed supplies and headed out.

Harvey transformed back to human, and quickly dressed into some of his casual clothes.  He introduced Westen to Mike, both eyeing each other for a few moments, until it came out that Ross had an Eidetic memory and worked for Harvey.  

Westen’s eyebrow went up and he started asking questions about Harvey.

Mike answered them with ease.

Harvey glared, they ignored him … he was so fucked.

Westen went home with Harvey, to start his new life.  He had no idea what it would entail, but he had a feeling it wasn’t going to be boring.

Aveline drove John and Harold home and informed them she would be in the area just in case, but left them in peace.  Once she was sure they were settled, and protected she went home to her Dragon. There was a lot to talk about, and despite knowing that Harold was way more powerful that she had anticipated, and had resources that were quite frankly frightening, yet she was never, not going to feel protective streak for the older man.

Harold got the last confirmations from The Machine, that everything was cleaned up and no traces left behind.  He set the phone down on the table, and made his way into the kitchen to fix some tea. It had been a long couple of days, and all he wanted was to sleep next to John.

Just as the kettle boiled, John came out of the bathroom, wearing low riding jogging pants.  There were still marks on his body, showing the wounds of the battle against Samaritan, but they were healing quickly.

He grabbed a bottle of beer out of the fridge and handed it over, and without a word  they settled onto the couch, both asleep in moments.
