👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

🧠 Pick a character, and I'll tell you my favorite headcanon for them. (sebi please?)

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

ty for sending this, anon!

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

ahhh the only actual wip i have is girl!seb because the others are incoherent scribbles that i've marked down as In Progress... F. so far i think i've finally completed the story from 2005-2010, but from there things kinda fall apart--i'm trying to build up enough of the damage from 2011/2012 so that 2013 will hit harder, but atm those years are kinda falling through, mostly bc i don't know how to write jenson. i might have to re-do 2011 depending on how the rest of writing 2012 goes.

i feel like i keep talking about this project but haven't got anything to show for it so 💀 here's a snippet!

Indianapolis, USA - June 17, 2007In her Grand Prix weekend debut, Seb goes fourth fastest in her first practice session, qualifies seventh, and nabs eighth place, even after a messy start. She rises out of the car as the second woman in history to score points in Formula One—and the first to score a full point.  BMW is ecstatic with the achievement, immediately attaching their brand to her moment. Red Bull is right on their heels. To that end, Lewis’ win might as well be overshadowed by the media attention that flocks her way, but he doesn’t seem the least bit bothered, pulling her into a friendly handshake and half-hug in congratulations before being swept elsewhere. It feels just as good as a win. Seb is practically soaring, with nothing to kill her mood from the end of the race to the end of the day, even when Scott Speed almost dislocates her shoulder as he struts by, even when the boys try to take her out bar hopping and don’t succeed.  “I’ll head back to the hotel, you stay and have fun,” she says, waving them off as she tucks her ID back into her wallet. An idea is forming in her head on how she can celebrate, anyway. “Are you okay to get back on your own?” Beat looks torn, like he knows the responsible thing to do is accompany her, especially when she’s dolled up in a thin white shirt and short little tennis skirt, her legs bared to keep cool from the mid-June humidity. But the party is in full swing at the Slippery Noodle. “I’m going to get a ride,” she assures him, and fishes out her phone.  . ⋅ ˚̣- :  Twenty minutes later, Mark shows up in a taxi.

(she gives him a lap dance. they fuck nasty.)

🧠 Pick a character, and I'll tell you my favorite headcanon for them. (sebi please?)

loathe as i am to call seb a character that i have headcanons for--i do very much find myself enjoying the idea that he can be more calculated (and cold?) than he lets on. similarly i don't know if i really like the whole, yknow, bratty-subby-tearful-cute thing that's popular in fanon? which, sure, it has its own basis, but i personally find it more interesting to see his more deliberate side and dissect him from that angle, kind of like an autopsy of Red Bull Seb, The Frat Bro Who Wasn't. i think charlie @sebrrari nails this in the whole "whether the medicine is enough" series! and though it was very much a reactionary fic, i think i get at the idea in and an and, and an and, and the end.

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

LOVE CONFESSIONS. i can't do them well but in my head they are sooo emotive. like in the nayq prequel when mark finally says it and the words absolutely destroy seb. or in wrestling in dirt pits when seb and mark admit they're still in love with each other in a moment of weakness. and i'll just spoil a bit of this girl!seb au, they say it after fuji 2007 and it's like the Crux of their entire relationship and not to toot my own horn but it works in the overarching story and i need to bash my head against a wall whenever i think about it. anyway

This was a wild start to the New Year for me.

(someone please tell me if I did the image IDs wrong.)

Now, if there’s one thing about me I’d like you to know, it’s that I love adventure games. I was raised on classic Sierra point and click games, especially King’s Quest, and I love everything about them. They’re the perfect mixture of cinematic and interactive, the puzzles range from genius to bullshit, and they kill you in increasingly absurd ways the more you play. I lamented their death so hard and to this day I still do. Even when they make a rare reappearance, they’re just not the same, especially since the few they do make these days follow the LucasArts model of not killing you in ridiculous ways you couldn’t possibly see coming.

Anyway, years ago my brother showed me this article from OldManMurray.com, discussing his theory behind the death of adventure games.

In the article, he dreams up a new mascot for adventure gaming, who he calls Francis the Talking France.

I can’t tell you how hard I laughed the first time I met Francis the Talking France. I was taking French in college at the time and I don't even know how many times I had to try not cracking up in class because something reminded me of him. I even have this specific voice I do for maximum hilarity. It's probably not that funny, actually, but I only do it for me so it entertains the right audience at least. 

However, the years went by, and eventually it got to the point where I only occasionally remembered this article. And when I did, it was about how ridiculous that puzzle was. I mean, seriously. The entire puzzle requires you following this convoluted and unhinged train of logic to make a fake mustache when the person you’re impersonating doesn’t even have a mustache how am I supposed to know to do that what is wrong with you Jane Jenson I love you but this is kind of a lot. As time went on I rarely thought of myself thinking of Francis at all.

I was reminded of him out of the blue when I was making a list of foreign language songs on my mp3 player. I have about 18 songs in French, 50 in Japanese, 3 in German, and a handful of others. I was riffing on the word France to myself, trying to come up with some amusing sounds, when I remembered there was the name of this mascot I used to love. I didn’t even remember his name, I had to keep doing mouth sounds trying to remember what name sounded like France until I remembered the name Francis exists. But I remembered and cracked up all over again. It’s funny how, out of nowhere, things from our past can suddenly make themselves remembered almost as if on their own.

But that’s only half the story.

The other half begins last summer, when I first played the game The Stanley Parable. I'd heard of the game before, but never anything about it except that it was a very artsy game on the nature of choice. I wasn't interested in learning more because I was worried it would be up its own ass about it and I can't deal with that. But what changed my mind was this tumblr post.

I don't care if it's the most pretentious art game in the world, I have got to see what the thematic opposite of the Sims looks like. So I got the game and gave it a spin.

First off, I'm not ashamed to say I was 100% wrong. This is not at all the kind of art I hate. I don't want to get in too much detail about my opinions about art because it's not the point, I just want to say that the Stanley Parable works on so many levels that even if you disagree with the message you think it's trying to send (and it's hard to tell because it can be interpreted in so many ways, some of them contradictory) you can still have fun being a horrible little gremlin pissing off the Narrator, who does a fantastic job carrying the entire game on its shoulders. I love The Stanley Parable.

So anyway, in December, I was looking for more Stanley Parable videos on YouTube. I regret that I don't even know which video this was, but one of the jokes in it went like this: it was the scene from the Team Fortress 2 video "Expiration Date" where Spy places a bucket on the table and it goes:

Spy: Gentlemen, this... is a bucket. Soldier: Dear God... Spy: There's more. Soldier: No...

and it was captioned something like, "The entire Stanley Parable Fandom" or something like that. I laughed.

Then I remembered that I hadn't actually watched that TF2 video since it came out in 2014. My brother showed it to me when I came home for the weekend, saying it just came out and talking about why it was made and all the little trivia about it. I watched it, I laughed, I had fun, and then moved on with my life. I was never into Team Fortress 2, though I've been aware of it the entire time it's existed. It's just not my kind of game and, while the humor was funny, it always came off as kind of... tryhard, I guess? I don't know. It's actually hard for me to describe my opinion then because I no longer hold it.

But basically, back in its heyday my brother showed me TF2 memes and explained why they were funny, and I laughed. I used to do voice work for this teenage boy who also would talk about it, and I'd listen. I even remember watching the Meet the Pyro video the day it dropped and everyone on My Little Brony was talking about it, and thinking it was okay at best. I did love the cosplays of Spy undercover at other conventions, like at a brony convention in a Twilight mask about to stab a Pinkie Pie in the back or something.

I have no idea what changed in me, but this time when I watched Expiration Date it was the funniest shit I'd ever seen in my life. I laughed so hard I almost cried. And then I went back and watched all of the Meet the Team videos and laughed just as hard, even at the Meet the Pyro video. And suddenly I'm trying to get all the content I can like my life depended on it. For 15 years this game meant nothing to me and now that it's basically dead suddenly it's the only thing that matters? Why is that? Who can say? All I can do is enjoy the ride.

And then it happens. Two days after re-reading my favorite piece on the death of adventure gaming with a mascot I'd forgotten existed, I was on Issue #3 of the Team Fortress comic when I come across this image

His fucking shirt.

I swear, this wouldn't have been so bizarre if it weren't for the fact that, for a completely unrelated reason, this was the second time I'd thought about Francis in years, to the point where I had forgotten his name. Then I thought about him completely randomly, again, for the first time in years, only two days before actually seeing him for the first time in years, except for re-reading that article on purpose. If I had just seen Francis on Baby Scout's shirt I would have been, "Oh, wow! Awesome, I remember Francis! But what's he doing here? This requires research." It feels almost suspicious that I was thinking about him for the first time in years because my mouth felt like making sounds.

And like, I only got to this comic because I ended up playing not one, but two old games that are so outside the scope of what I usually play that they almost passed me by completely. Seriously, The Stanley Parable is nine years old, and Team Fortress 2 is 15 years old. If I hadn't seen that one Tumblr post, I probably wouldn't care about either of these games.

THE SYNCHRONICITY OF THIS OSTENSIBLE "COINCIDINCE" IS NOT LOST ON ME. NOSIR.

I had to look up dates because I was momentarily miffed thinking that the hilarious Adventure Gaming Mascot had been a TF2 reference this whole time and I'd been duped, only to realize that no, the article definitely predated the game's release and the guys behind the website worked for Valve so it makes sense Francis would find his way into a Valve property.

It just... it blows my mind in a way I don't think I can really get across to anyone who's just reading it and probably not nearly as impressed by it as I am, but... come on, it's gotta be something, right?

(also, as an unrelated footnote, SpyDad is my other raison d'être)

F1 Re-Watch 2013: Round 16 - India

This race man... I was stupidly lucky that the BBC showed this race live that season and I just remember waking up before 6am to watch it and being so anxious the whole time even though I'm 90% sure that Seb lead the race from start-to-finish 😅

Anyway, I don't need to talk about how historic this race was bc we've all seen the gifs and picture of the now infamous post-race donuts (and Seb bowing to his car 😭😭😭), so let's just jump in (and at some point have a category 5 sebfucker meltdown)

ngl I have been saving this one and I had a mildly shit day today, so I'm finally ticking this off the list

(I'm still holding myself to have this season watch through finished by the time pre-season testing for this year is finished 😅)

also also shoutout to the Buddh International Circuit she was a real one

Okay starting grid overview: Seb pole (fork found in the kitchen), Rosberg P2, Lewis P3, Webber P4, Alonso P8, Jenson P10 and Jev P14

(iirc, Grosjean and Alonso were the other two podium finishers, but I know it wasn't the Mercs)

Helmet watch: the all black helmet is one of my faves. An iconic look for what turned out to be a very iconic race

"I will be absolutely stunned if that [Seb leading every lap] happens today" heh.

Formation Lap!

I do actually remember how smoggy it was during the race.

And the tyre compounds for this race were the softs and mediums

Now fun fact I learned somewhat recently is that the who reason why we see the TPs in the garage right before the race start and then suddenly cut to them being on the pitwall mid race is that no one is allowed to be on the pitwall during the race start for safety reasons (ie in case there's a crash and a car goes into the barrier between the pitwall and the circuit)

(you can tell that F1 is my autistic special interest can't you?)

[Start/Lap 1]: Oh Lewis had a super start and is into P2!!

and Massa gets past both Mercs????

and Kimi complaining he got hit by Webber

there's a yellow flag for what I assume is debris

[Lap 2]: jesus christ Seb already has a 2.4 second lead

THAT'S MY GOAT!!!

meanwhile Di Resta and Jev both pitted, not because of damage but to get the softs off asap

And Seb also pits, Softs for Mediums

Alonso has also pitted but he needed a new front wing too

I remember absolutely none of this happening

[Lap 3]: Anyway Jenson is running in P9!!!!!

(Jenson points were a rare treasure in 2013 and I appreciated every single one of them)

Start replay - there was a bit of concertina at turn 1 and Webber bounced off Raikkonen into Alonso. Lewis' start was so fast though 🏃💨

[Lap 6]: Webber moves past Raikkonen and up to P4!

Seb is up to P14, not that many cars stopped as early

[Lap 7]: Jenson pits for softs, idk what compound he started on

[Lap 8]: Rosberg pits, another softs for mediums

argh, Jenson started on the mediums and had to stop of tyre damage 😭

p a i n

[Lap 9]: Massa and Lewis both pit, Webber is now race leader and Seb is up to P6

there is a lot going on at the moment

[Lap 10]: Speaking of, back-to-back Webber fastest laps

meanwhile Seb take P5

[Lap 11]: The emotional whiplash I've been getting from seeing Stefano Domenicali on the Ferrari pitwall, sir please start doing a better job at running F1 this year

ANYWAY Seb up into P4 🙏

[Lap 12]: 🚨SEB FASTEST LAP🚨

and cut to Rocky looking icy cool

Gutierrez under investigation for a jump start, whoops

[Lap 13]: Seb into P3!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile Jenson has pitted again and is back on the mediums

[Lap 14]: and Lewis is in... P10. F1 giveth and F1 taketh away

aaaaaand drive through pen for Gutierrez and his jump start

[Lap 17]: and just like that the race has calmed down and I'm a little bit mesmerised by the cars just going round

with another Seb fastest lap for good measure

Webber and Perez are still in P1 and P2 as they're yet to stop

[Lap 18]: Pros: Jenson is racing Fernando. Cons: Fernando is P14 and Jenson in P18 😭

Another Seb fastest lap 🥰

[Lap 20]: So Webber has a pit stop gap ahead of everyone from P4 downwards. Maybe I did mis-remember the podium finishers

[Lap 21]: SEB INTO P2!!!

[Lap 22]: Fernando saying fuck them kids and literally barging past Gutierrez for P13

[Lap 23]: Unrelated but the more they play Perez's team radio's the more I think that his race engineer at McLaren is also his current race engineer at RBR

(after a quick google search they are not the same person they just sound very similar)

Anyway Jenson is still in P18 what did he do to deserve this????

[Lap 24]: At least Lewis is up to... P8 🥲

and right on cue a cut to Paddy Lowe on the Merc pit wall

[Lap 25]: Another Seb fastest lap 👌

The racing gods said to me at the time in 2013 that in order for Seb to goat Jenson had to suffer

[Lap 26]: The way Webber still hasn't stopped yet. How have his tyres not fallen off yet?????

[Lap 27]: and back to part 43 of the Mercs vs Massa

(Nico and Lewis are still behind Massa)

[Lap 28]: and as I say that Nico pits

meanwhile Jenson is up to P16. I'll take it quite frankly.

[Lap 29]: And Webber finally pits!

I'm starting to think he may have started on the mediums at this point since he now has the softs on

so *deep inhale* SEB TAKES THE LEEEEEEEAD!!!!!!!

wait Lewis is up to P6 THE RACING GODS ARE COOKING

I've never said anything bad about them ever

[Lap 30]: aaaand 🚨Half-distance klaxon🚨

Meanwhile Gutierrez is under investigation again, this time for moving under breaking

[Lap 31]: Lewis stops again and comes out in P12

[Lap 32]: and Seb makes what I assume is his final stop, he's on another set of mediums

And now Webber makes his second stop, he's also on the mediums

[Lap 33]: And I've just realised I haven't done a top 5 overview all race yet. as it stands it's Seb, Ricciardo (yet to stop), Webber, Perez and Sutil.

Jenson has pitted again... stop making him suffer

Just going to have to accept no Jenson points it's kinder to me that way 😭

[Lap 34]: And another something starting with S and ending in 'eb fastest lap'

immediately followed by Rocky telling Seb to manage his tyres dfjvhfdujhfubhfg

This isn't even peak brat Seb this is just regular brat Seb

[Lap 35]: aw cut to Nicholas in the Merc garage

The way India is one of a small handful of tracks that Lewis never got a podium at in his career so far. Proper GOAT shit.

(racing gods if you're reading this we need more Lewis podiums this season please and thanks!)

Crofty talking about Seb having the potential to match Schumi's then record of winning 13 races in one season, which he did go on to match. 🥹😭

That's my boyyyyyy

(racing gods please take notes I need that for Lewis this year as well please x)

[Lap 38]: Hearing that Ricciardo has gone over Pirelli's recommended max distance on his tyres fills me with a considerable amount of dread

[Lap 39]: thank god he's finally pitted

so a top 5 overview now that everyone's made a pit stop: Seb. Webber, Raikkonen, Sutil and Rosberg

[Lap 40]: Not gearbox problems for Webber AGAIN

aaaand he's pulled his car off to the side of the track

Pouring one out for Simon Rennie who is Going Through It™️ on the global TV feed

[Lap 41]: Ahhhh Sutil hasn't stopped yet, which explains why he's now P3

and thanks to Ferrari fully clowning and Merc being painfully average RBR would have enough points to win the WCC regardless

[Lap 43]: Ah Mark's issue with the alternator, not his gearbox

still pouring one out for the Mark girlies (gn) none the less

[Lap 44]: Somehow, after starting at the back of the grid, Grosjean is up to P4

hello?????? Lotus explain

ohhhh he's one stopping apparently

WILD

Listen as someone who Was There™️ during the great tyre failures of Silverstone 2013 one stops still make me nervous

dfvhfuvhddufvh the journalists going "Mark! Mark! Mark!" in the paddock sounding like the seagulls from Finding Nemo

thank you TV director for putting that on the global feed

[Lap 47]: Sutil stopped at some point, so the top 5 is now: Seb, Raikkonen, Rosberg, Grosjean and Massa

I'd ask for a Bono radio, but this race was circa 2013 BH (Before Hammertime)

Meanwhile, there is a five (5) car train scrapping for 10th place.

🍿

[Lap 49]: Now down to 4 cards after Gutierrez pitted but besties I am enthralled

(I genuinely am, I love watching the cars just go round)

The implication that there's potential gremlins of Seb's car, I'm sorry 16yo me you had every right to be worried

Not Seb being 14 seconds behind lapping Fernando dfvhfduvjhb

[Lap 56]: 🚨FIVE LAPS REMAINING KLAXON🚨

Lewis is up to P6!!!

"My rear tyres are gone" Thanks Lewis that's very reassuring

[Lap 57]: Grosjean, after starting in P17, is now in 3rd place

let's hear it for the one-stop strategy folks 👏

[Lap 58]: Meanwhile Lewis and Checo are still fighting over 6th, but the way Raikkonen's tyres are falling off it might become 5th

yoooooo Perez with the double overtake for P5!!!!

[Lap 59]: Seb on board 🥹

"I wonder how much that will cost him in fines but it's probably worth it" For once Brundle said something smart

I forgot about him climbing the fence and throwing his gloves into the crowd, if he'd done that now he probably would have been DSQd dfvjdfibjdfjb

Anyway, I'm gonna cry watching the podium but that was 11/10 would watch again. I will forever love Seb a stupid amount.

Best race - Abu Dhabi!

Journey to the Past pt. 1

Hi readers! So after reading and falling in love with each one of @regal-roni and @jpncis09 fanfics I just had to dabble in it myself. I haven't decided where all of this is going yet, but I hope you enjoy what I have so far.

I also want to warn that the first part might be sensitive to some readers as it mentions rape and abuse. The whole story will not be like that

Jack cried out in fear as she was pushed against the brick wall. Her face slammed against it and she could feel her skin tear against the rough bumps. She tried to fight him off, but she couldn't. He held her hands behind her back as he began to undress her. She sobbed and pleaded with him not to do this, but he wasn't going to hear of it. He pulled her head back by her hair and slammed the side of her face against the brick again. She could taste blood and she began to feel weak. Suddenly she was being thrown against a dumpster, her face hitting the corner, before she landed on a pile of garbage bags. She looked up, her vision blurry, and saw the man's figure hovering over her. She placed her hands on his chest, a sorry attempt to push him away, but it didn't help. She felt him pushing her legs apart with his knee and ripping her underwear. She kept begging him to stop, but he wouldn't hear of it. Her only hope was that somebody would hear her cries, but her voice had weakend. A sharp cry escaped her bloodied lips as he pushed all of himself inside of her in one painful motion and began to rape her.

The rest of the night had been a blur. She was found the next morning by a woman who lived in the apartment complex the alley was behind. An officer came to the rescue and had taken her to the hospital, but she didn't remember much of that either. 'Is there someone we can call?' there had been no one. Her mother had kicked her out right out of high school, no thanks to her mother's abusive boyfriend. She had been living out of her old beat up '72 Chevy Vega station wagon, that she had bought with money from working in a diner throughout high school, for the past year. Parking near that alley way had been a mistake, but it was all she could manage at the time.

After an overnight stay in the hospital she had managed to get back to her car and find a new place to park. She drove around for weeks, from City to city, odd job after odd job. Nothing ever seemed to last. She had managed to afford a hotel room every once in awhile to shower and take care of business, but other than that she spent money on clothes and a blanket for the cold winter nights that began to pick up. As luck would have it one night she parked outside of an army recruiters office, and for the rest of that night she pondered her future and what she wanted to make of her life. She knew that she never wanted to feel as hopeless as she had a few weeks ago, again. She wanted to be able to stand up for herself and for others. She glanced in her review mirror, at herself, covered in stitches. That man had really done a number on her, but she was starting to heal after a month. What did she have to lose? There was nothing to hold her back. No family, no money, no job or lousy boyfriend. After all this time looking for an out and a way to avenge herself, maybe she was staring it in the face this whole time.

The next morning came and she didn't waste a single moment. She watched as a recruiter unlocked the door and flipped the sign to read 'OPEN'. She opened the car door and made her way inside until she was standing at the man's desk.

"I...I'd like to fill out an application," she stated nervously. Her brow wrinkled as she considered that maybe those weren't the right choice of words. "I mean I...I'd like to join the army," she corrected and bit her lip nervously only to be met with a sharp pain. Her stitches. She swallowed back her nerves and took a deep breath.

"Name?" The man asked and gestured towards the empty chair.

It took her a moment to realize that he was telling her to take a seat. "Sloane. I, uh, Jacqueline Sloane," she repeated. Get a grip, Jack, she thought. "I'm sorry, it's been a long month," she admitted quietly.

The man looked up and saw the cuts on her face. He nodded slowly and wrote something down. "Bar fight?" He asked, only half joking.

"No," she shook her head and rubbed her wrists nervously. Did she have to tell him? She couldn't even admit to herself what had happened, now she had to admit it to a stranger? "I, uh...it wasn't a fight. Not really," she whispered and looked to her shoes. "Look, I..I just want to join the army. I need to do something, and this...this would be good for me," she looked back to him. He started writing again. What was this? A shrinks office?

"I'll need you to take some basic tests."

"Tests?"

He nodded. "Drug tests," he answered simply, "and I'll need you to give us permission to run a thorough background check."

"Oh," she nodded, a bit relieved it wasn't a written test. Her state of mind was not prepared for that. "Of course, I have nothing to hide."

The man nodded and handed her some paperwork. "I'll need you to fill this out and we will review it. We will need to take some blood samples and run some tests. That along with the background check will take a few days to process. If all is clear then we will get you into training," he explained and watched the young woman fidget nervously. He furrowed his brow and watched as she ran her hand along the cuts on her face.

She stopped her movements when she caught the recruiter looking at her. She bit her lip and stopped fidgeting. "A-alright," she nodded and took the pen he offered. She began to look over the paperwork and filled it out before she stopped. "I, ehm... I don't have an address," she admitted. "My car," she gestured outside to the dusty station wagon in the front. "That's where I live."

"You can just skip that for now," he assured her and gave a warm smile. He had seen people like her come in here before, and he had a soft spot for people like that. Maybe it was because he had been in her shoes before.

"Thank you," she bit her lip nervously and went back to filling out the paperwork.

A few days had passed and Jack had taken to sleeping outside of the recruiters office. During the day she would go inside and he would give her some food and water. He had been kinder to her than anybody had been in a long time. Over the past few weeks the two of them had started to get close, but neither of them had done anything about it. He was her recruiter after all and she wasn't exactly comfortable jumping into anything after what she had been through almost 2 years ago. That morning she woke up and went into the office. She was then again greeted with a donut and a little carton of milk this time.

"Morning Jenson," she smiled tiredly as she accepted the donut. "Did the results come in yet?" She took a seat and watched him look through the papers on his desk. He was unusually quiet this morning and she wondered if she had been overstepping.

"They did," he finally answered and nodded shortly. He looked up to her, but he didn't look very enthused about whatever was in her files. "Jack, I'm afraid we can't recruit you at this time," he said simply.

Jack furrowed her brow and sat up a little straighter. "What? Why not?" She looked to him curiously and then became concerned that something was wrong with her. that would have been the only reason she could think of for them to turn her down.

"Well, because you're pregnant and you should know that we can't have you join the army and go into extensive training while you're with child," he stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Jack's eyes widened at his words. "I...I'm not pregnant," she shook her head. "You must be mistaken."

"I'm afraid not," he shook his head and handed her the paperwork, but she didn't accept it.

"And I am telling you that you are mistaken," she insisted, becoming upset. "I am not pregnant. There's no way I-" she stopped and tears filled her eyes when she came to the horrible realization of what had happened. "No," she whispered and swallowed hard.

"Jack?" He raised a brow and couldn't help but be concerned. "You mean...you didn't know?"

She felt tears surface and she shook her head. She stood up and bit her lip. "I need to go."

"Go where?" He stood up and walked around the desk to her. "Jack, you don't have anywhere to be. Talk to me," he frowned and hesitantly took her hand.

As his hand brushed hers she took a deep breath. Tears rolled down her cheeks and she looked down. "I.." she wanted to tell him, she really did, but she didn't know how to voice it. How did you go about telling somebody that you had been raped? How did you tell the only person who had showed any interest in you, romantically or personally, that this horrifying act had happened to you? This wasn't easy for her. "I didn't know because...because it didn't happen by my choice," she admitted and looked down. She didnt know why, but she expected him to move away from her. He only gave her hand a squeeze and lifted her chin.

"Do you mean," he paused and watched her nod slowly. He sighed and brushed his thumb along her knuckles. "That explains the cut," he looked to the nearly healed stitches on her cheek and forehead. Her lip had finally healed, but she was still hurt.

"Please," she felt her lip quiver and wiped her eyes. "There has to be a way that you're wrong," she pleaded with him. "I can't be...pregnant," her voice cracked. "How am I supposed to raise a baby...i-in that?" She pointed to her beat up car and then put her head in her hands.

"Hey," he took her hand again and pulled her closer to him. He sighed and pushed her hair back. He couldn't deny that there had been something going on between the two of them. When she had first walked in a few weeks ago she had taken his breath away, despite the cuts. He was her recruiter and so he had tried to stay professional, but after a few days he couldn't fight it anymore. Something about her was so inticing. He pulled her petite frame to his chest and hugged her close. His hand stroked her hair gently and he sighed. "It's going to be alright. If you'd like...you can stay with me," he suggested, unsure how she would take it.

"Stay with you?" She looked up to him curiously and shook her head. "I couldn't put you out like that."

"You wouldn't be putting me out, Jack," he assured her and his eyes softened. "I'd like you to stay."

Jack searched his eyes for anything resembling pity or obligation, but she found nothing. He truly wanted her to stay. "Alright, but I don't want to put you out for long. As soon as I find somewhere else I'll be out of your hair," she promised.

"Jack?" Ducky broke her silence in the observation room. He nudged her gently, watching her stare at the man in the interrogation room.

"Huh?" Jack jumped a bit and looked to Ducky as she came out of her trance.

"I asked if you knew him," he repeated and raised a brow. "Which you obviously do."

Jack nodded slowly and looked back towards the glass. She sighed and decided it would be best if she explained herself now. She opened her mouth to explain, but before any words came out the door burst open and behind it stormed in a slightly baffled Gibbs.

"He's asking for you, Jack," he eyes her carefully.

"Me?" Jack's eyes widened and she took a step back. "Why me?"

Gibbs arched his brow and didn't move his gaze. "That's what I want to know. Do you know him?"

Jack looked at Gibbs like a deer caught in headlights before she glanced over to the one way mirror. She saw the boy she once knew and swallowed hard. She didn't realize how long she had gone without answering until Gibbs snapped at her slightly.

"Jack!"

"Jenson," she crossed her arms and looked back to him. "His name is William Oliver Jenson," she sighed and he backed off. "He was my recruiter when I first joined the Army," she explained further.

"Is that all?" He waited for a response and then backed down when he saw Ducky watching them. "He asked for you and so you are going to go in there and get what we need."

"Do you think that's wise?" Ducky questioned curiously.

"If we want answers," Gibbs grumbled, jealousy dripped off his tongue despite how hard he tried to hide it.

"If you want answers you shouldn't look to me," Jack shook her head and held her hand up in protest. He glared. "Gibbs, I'm serious. We didn't end on the best of terms."

"End?" He started to delve into that but retracted and sighed. "Jack whatever happened was a long time ago. You are the only person he will talk to so go in there and get some damn answers. I'm done asking nicely," he snapped now.

Jack rolled her eyes and yanked the folders from his hands before heading out the door. "That was nice?" She muttered before the door shut. She took a deep breath before opening the interrogation room door and walking in. This was not going to be easy.
