Winning the lone wolf lady (Closed)

Ford looked at her and said that they would be contacted and that until then it was just time to relax, and spend time with those close.


Eliot was still in the gym, but was almost done
 
She just nodded and headed up to grab a shower and some clean clothes. She was sure she had lost the rest of her mind saying she would stick around for a bit. She let the hot water wash the blood off of her. It was finally over and she truly did not know what to do anymore.
 
Eliot heard the showers and figures it must be ford or hardisan so he just walked in and realized it was Danni. Eliot froze not knowing if he should leave our join.

He decided to press his luck and get into the other shower but close to her
 
She was lost in her own mind not realizing he was there as she just stood under the water eventually muttering. Baby girl is avenged Red. Now she can be at peace safe with her big brother.
 
Eliot spoke saying, "I know they are happy and resting. "

He had finally figured out the story, didn't change how he saw Danni though. He just hoped she wasn't going to kill him for showering without her knowing
 
She just turned and shrugged walking from the shower area and went to get dressed. She was numb from it all for now. Years of hunting and destroying everything these guys held remotely dear she had destroyed now... There was nothing left.
 
Eliot walked out shortly thereafter. He went to look for Danni. He didn't see her so he went to the main area, and asked the group if they knew where Danni had gone
 
She is in her room Eliot.

Sophie spoke up.
 
Eliot went to Danni's room trying to find her. He saw her in there but could tell there was something wrong.

"Hey, whats up?"
 
Its all over...

She stood there in shorts and a thin t shirt.

Any reason for remaining here is over and yet I told Ford I would stick around for a while.

She shook her head.

You are a lot like him and I... I can't just let go of that and walk away. Maybe you have gotten to me too or maybe...

She turned away from him not eve sure what was going on any more.
 
Eliot walked over to her and placed his hands on her shoulders.

If you need a purpose why don't you stay. You don't have to but helping people that can't be helped otherwise is what has given us all our purpose. It is what we have to hold onto. Without it, I am sure none of us would be alive let alone wanting to live."
 
I have done this job solo for so long a team would just be a liability for me.

She turned back around to look at him.

I know you won't be able to understand that nor would the others.

Sophie whispered to Eliot through the com.

Don't push she is surprisingly fragile right now.
 
Eliot held her close and he whispered in her ear, "we were all alone and solo before this." He made sure no one else could hear him say this.

He then let the hug go and as he walked out he told her that he would be in the kitchen if she wanted to talk or train
 
Ford merely listened to everything said as he sat in command looking through the paperwork from this case and some Danni's brother had sent him of other cases she took trying to destroy the blood stain in their basement. He had to get a better window into her mind to figure out how to get her to stay on the team.
 
Eliot made dinner for everyone, something that he felt counter the destruction he caused.

Once he was finished he called everyone for the meal they always had after a case
 
Everyone filed in with Parker waiting for Danni. The protective streak she felt about the team gnawing at her. She paused Danni for a moment and in a low Parker hostile voice told her.

He really likes you don't even fucking hurt him... Got it.

With that Parker smiled and walked in like nothing happened though she didn't care if the team heard her or not.
 
Eliot heard her say something to her, but didn't know what as he had taken out his ear wig and he was too far away from them to really hear. Eliot set the roast on the table along with all of the side dishes. He then waited for Ford to say grace and then they dug in.

Everyone tried to enjoy themselves like they normally do, with telling old stories about cases that went wrong but turned out well in the end as well as funny anecdotes to other stories. Eliot enjoyed himself but tried to keep an eye on Danni to see if she was enjoying herself.
 
Ford glared at Parker before they all sat down to enjoy the meal. Danni ate and relaxed appearing not to let whatever Parker said get to her though she was mostly silent listening to the others. Sophie hoped the relaxed and happy time like this for the team would help encourage Danni to stay.

Parker however had a different question.

So Danni mission is over when you gonna run off?
 
the team noticed the silence that had come about because of that comment. Eliot kept eating, while Hardisan tried to change the subject, "Because Danni I would love to take a ride in your Cuda? Have you ever taken it out for a drag race or anything like that?"
 
Yes Hardisan I have street raced the Cuda.

She then looked to Parker.

Took you long enough to ask. I envy you Parker you still see a team as a family where as I see a team as a liability. Never lose that protective streak. I know how long it takes people like us to form a bond like that. Don't end up like me.

Sophie raised a brow at how Danni handled Parker when they all wanted to scold or ignore her Danni envied her. Ford said nothing for now till he heard that she street raced the cuda which seemed to get his attention.

Parker just sat there having her protective temper knocked right out from under her.
 
Ford spoke up, "What did you race against? was it just some hot rod punk who wanted to show off to you. "

Eliot then spoke up, "Yeah I wanna hear about this? I have always wanted to race but never got to in my own time."
 
Little show offs and then some. Way too many little punks out there think the old cars are too heavy american steel too bulky. Then they race me...

Japan to Brazil and all over.

She smiled as she spoke. Ford just laughed. Danni then looked to Eliot.

You never raced... Somehow I find that hard to believe.
 
Eliot laughed, "Never said i haven't raced. I have a couple of times on jobs but never on my own time. Either haven't wanted to or not really had enough time. Who knows maybe we could go sometime down to the course?"

He hoped that would at least get a smile out of her. He did look over and saw Parker just sitting there.
 
Parker smiled.

Sounds like fun actually when can we go.

Hardisan looked over too eager to go.

Danni smirked.

Well there is technically one of the "illegal" street races tonight coastal road run if you three have the stomach for all the double back turns and all that.
 
Eliot spoke first, I am down, but gotta clear it with Ford.

The entire team looked at him as if to say, please dad
