PSL: Sentinel AU

[dann_0]

Danny is Steve's guide. He is still pretty new at it and working with a Sentinel who has some bad experiences. To top if off, while working a case in Portland he finds out that a guide can have more than one Sentinel who is their perfect match.

What? That you can drive should we ever find ourselves in Jersey? [ He laughs. ] I don't think so.

Uh-huh. I'm gonna hold you to that. We'll take her out to the speedway when you get back.

[ He laughs again. ]

Driving is fun. And you only do that when we're in a high speed chase, and even then I think you're exaggerating!

I promise I am not Steve. And I only do it out loud when we're in a highspeed chase. I know that look you get in your eyes. That is the look that says I am about to be scared shitless.

[ Steve raises an amused eyebrow, but then chews on his bottom lip suddenly uncertain. One thing Steve is lacking is personal skills. He's always taken Danny's complaining as just something Danny does, but is he really that scared. ]

But... You keep giving me the keys... Allowing me to drive...?

[ True Steve generally asks for them or steals them, but there are times Danny hands them over as well. Has he been that badly misreading the situation. ]

I've given up fighting by now.

[ But the uncertainty gets to him and his voice softens. ]

Most of the time it is fine, Steve, sometimes you go a bit overboard but as you said, usually during a chase or something.

[ The Navy had the responsibility of teaching Steve how to drive, first in boarding school at 16 and then the various advanced lessons such as performance and combat, throughout his career. To say Steve is well trained is an understatement, and he enjoys using his driving skills in the field. It's never his intention however to actually scare his passengers. That they often argue during a high speed chase, Steve had always assumed was Danny's way of dealing with the excitement and thrill of it, but if Steve was actually scaring him... It's not like they could stop engaging in high speed chases, they were law enforcement, but Steve would work on containing the pleasure he found in them. Maybe that would help. ]

You? Give up fighting? [ He chuckles disbelievingly at Danny. ] That'll be the day!

[ Quiet a moment his voice gets more serious. Message received and understood. ] I'll try to tone it down. [ A touch of humor comes back into it. ] Don't want to break your puking record after all.

That would be good yeah. I would very much not like to break it.

[ Danny's voice softens. ]

Thank you. You going to take care while I am gone? Because if you end up in hospital I have to take over as the boss and you know how much Chin and Kono will love that.

[ Steve shuddered at the thought of being in the hospital. Generally, they weren't set up for Sentinels, so there was no considerations to amount of noise and smells. Steve has to take precautions before visiting, being admitted, especially without Danny, would surely have him zoning out. ]

I'll be fine, Danny. No need to worry. Just finish up this case, eh? And you be careful too. None of us are there to watch your back.

[ Added as an after thought. ] Maybe I should send Chin... [ He knows Danny is a good cop, generally by the book when He isn't around, but Steve is his partner, it's his job to worry and make sure his partner is always covered. ]

Re: Phone after meeting Eliot: Steve and Danny

I'll be fine Steve. Don't tear Chin away. The cops here are plenty capable of doing their jobs, alright?

[He sighs and then shifts.]
Listen, babe, it is getting late and I have to be up early tomorrow. I'll be back soon, I promise.

Re: Phone after meeting Eliot: Steve and Danny

[super_seal]

I'm taking that as a promise, Danny. Don't do anything stupid. [ There's a very small pause. ] That's my job!

[ With an eye to his watch he nods even though he knows Danny can't see him. ]

Right. Sleep well, Danno. I'm holding you to that.
