<<Doc's Quarters
The banging that had started softly on what she hoped was the doc’s door was now a little louder. The time in the shower and on the elliptical had rejuvenated her physically. LuBan’s mind on the other hand was mentally drained. Where was the man? It was one of three things, A, not his door (if not, hopefully the poor individual it belonged to and their neighbors were all out), B, he was really a sound sleeper (a small grin crossed her face on that thought), C, Doc was actually up and doing something physical, “Lord forbid.”
He was bucking for a place on Travis’ team. Travis with a team? “Good grief.” Her head was shaking at that thought. Stopping the beating to make a time check with the clock on the wall. Okay, so she had time to return to quarters, take in a full REM cycle and check back with the man before meeting with the General at 1000. She needed some sleep. Blue was a swift one. He was also reinforced with Janus. She would need her wits about her. The only glimmer was that it was a busy morning. Maybe it would be a quickie. “Yah, no!”
Looking around for something to write with or on. Emma pulled out her gloss and left a note glossed onto his door.

M!
It was all she could do.

<<Zach Black's Quarters>>
Heading down the hall there was a muffled groan. Finding a cracked door Emma inquired, “Are you alright in there? Do you need assistance?”
Awaiting a response, at first there was nothing. Then it started again. Slowly pushing it open she made her way in. Before her lay a heap of discombobulated male in boxers, albeit a fine looking, well built male in boxers. Still he was rather twisted and contorted. “Fall out of bed did we?” came out with a cocky lilt and a muffled laugh.
Zach raised his eyes to find a beautiful blond grinning before him. “Dreaming, must still be dreaming.” A pang of guilt hit his gut. Not dreaming of Claire.
“Excuse me?” She couldn’t help but notice the video of the attractive, laughing female playing on his monitor. “Is that your girlfriend?”
“Then you must be an angel” He smirked and again attempted to get up. Instead Black returned to the pillow with a groan. "Or at least brand new on base, I mean, I would have noticed."
“No wings I am afraid.” There was a small pout as she thought of how that last statement could be meant literally. “Yes new. You seem to be in a bit of a pickle. How about a little help?” She was fighting a laugh as she moved forward and knelt next to him.
Without much forethought, “You have lovely green eyes.” He blushed sheepishly at his outburst. He was on the second zat from Davis already.
Fiddling with locating the buckle on the harness, “You know these things do come off so you can sleep.” Emma was having a hard time deciphering the twisted mess. "Ah here we go.”
“Yah, um, long story.” He tried to fight a grimace as she maneuvered about. She really smelled wonderful, the scent of freshly showered. He inhaled deeply.
Rolling her eyes at him as he did. Men in the morning! “The name is Emma, Emma Grace LuBan. Do you have a name?” Pleased that she had seemed to have solved the puzzle.
“It’s Zach, just Zach.” He was back to the broad grin.
“Okay just Zach, if I let you go here do you promise to behave.” Her grin was matching his.
“Promise. Cross my heart.” He started to make the motion, instead he realized he was too tangled to do so. “Okay, would if I could, but.” His scrunched face replaced a shrug.
“Uh huh, sure. A true gentleman.” Letting go of the ends as she rearranged the sling to how it was supposed to work. “You still didn’t answer. Is that your lady?”
Zachary twisted his face slightly at his behavior. “I had hoped, then I thought, now not so sure.” He brought himself to a sitting up position. He moaned slightly as he was overtaken with an attack of the pins and needles. “Ohhhhhh.” Continuing to adjust himself in an attempt to find a comfortable position.
“Well, I say she looks and sounds wonderful. She is obviously smitten with whoever was behind that camera.” She sat back on her heels and watched to see if the man before her was okay. When it was apparent that he was she rose to her feet. “It was nice to meet you Just Zach. You take care of yourself now, and even better care of her.” With that she turned and exited. She had a date with a certain pillow.
“Hey, wait, thanks. Thank you Emma,” hollered Zach as he watched her back fade in the doorway. “Thank you and I will.” Leaning back against the bed he watched the images of Claire zoom before him and smiled. He was the man behind the camera. “Are you still smitten with me Davis?”
