Its not that I dont love Waige, I do, but Im just thinking about how cool it could have been if Paige and Walter truly were just friends and if she was his supportive cheerleader, instead of this tension where she almost sabotages him at some points, because she is jealous. Like having an F/M friendship with unconditional support where Walter got to be open about his feelings would have been such an interesting and fun direction the show could have taken as well. But thats just my two cents.

Just thinking about how underdeveloped Megan's relationship was with the rest of the team.
Megan teasing Walter and Paige about liking each other and hooking them up every chance she gets, calling Paige "sis". Ralph helping her and calling her "aunt Megan"
Megan and Happy getting along and Happy taking her on motorcycle rides.
Megan and Toby going to casinos and having alcohol together.
Unresolved tension between her and Cabe regarding how he irreversiblely traumatized her brother.

Can I get “how they let you know they like you” preferences with team scorpion with male!reader
Tumblr media
Walter -
● denies he has feelings for you
● Toby tries to psychoanalyze him into realizing he is in fact capable of loving someone in a romantic way
● even Megan notices and you've only met her a handful of times but Walter always talks about you to her
● "you know you like him right"
● "no I don't he's just a colleague"
● "whatever you want to tell yourself Walter"
● he hasn't quite figured out how to tell you just yet but give him time it'll be really special when he does
Tumblr media
Happy -
● insults you but in a flirting way
● turns you down whenever you try to ask her on a date
● "you and me are not going to happen so stop trying"
● "we'll see about that, I know you don't hate me as much as you pretend to"
● you're surprised when she kisses you after you nearly die on a job
● "you know you just kissed me right?"
● "yeah well I guess I hate you less than most people but i'll hurt you if you tell anyone i said that"
Tumblr media
Toby -
● he just straight up tells you he likes you
● he was not at all subtle when you joined the team and took an immediate liking to you
● schemes to spend alone time with you on jobs
● he even "accidently" locked you guys in a storage room together
● is on a high when you accept a date with him
● goes around telling everyone on the team about your date and how he's gonna marry you one day
Tumblr media
Paige -
● also very direct with her feelings
● she's got a kid to worry about she doesn't have time for playing games
● "are you going to ask me out or not Y/N?"
● "you want me to ask you out?"
● "I've been waiting for months but it seems relationships are a weakness for geniuses around here"
Tumblr media
Sylvester -
● panic states trivia facts whenever he's around you
● and starts doing math to calm himself when he's alone with you
● gets you very specific gifts catered to little details you've told him about yourself
● asks Paige for advice on how to tell you how he feels about you
● "maybe we could uh- get dinner together sometime, just you and me?"
● "I'd thought you'd never ask Sly"

Thinking about "Postcards from the Edge" were Toby and Sly think Walter has abandoned them and taking a job with Ella. Or how Paige calls Walter a jerk when all of Ralph's calls to him were going to voice mail.
I just don't get how they could think Walter would up and abandon them.
Walter was upset.
He just learned from Cabe, that Cabe had known what the government was going to do with program he developed and didn't tell him. But Cabe knew exactly what Walter would do and what would happen to him if he did (i.e. prison). In there time working together Cabe had come to see Walter as a surrogate son.
In fairness Cabe did want tell Walter the truth but deep down he knew what Walter's reaction would be and didn't wanted to lose another child. But in "Cliffhanger" Cabe is forced to tell Walter truth about Bagdad. This was only after failing to have a conversation he had with Walter omitted from a release of documents related to the Bagdad bombing.
Walter gets upset and has Cabe removed from the team. But he claims down a bit and they work together to stop the bad guy.
Still Cabe doesn't press the issue and backs off.
Then Pagie blows up on Walter about her son endangering his life because he looks up to Walter and wants to be like him. HE'S YOUR FUCKING SON. YOU'RE THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO EXPLAIN TO HIM WHAT HE DID WAS DANGEROUS.
Yet she goes and blames Walter for HER sons' actions.
Which upsets Walter even more and he takes off.
Its Happy who realizes something is wrong and that they should figure out where Walter is. She has to drag Toby and Sly along with her because they are so sure Walter's abandoned them and cannot wrap their heads around the idea that something might of happened to him. And Paige is too busy acting like a SELF-RIGHTEOUS BITCH, to realize something might have happened to Walter for him not answer any Ralph's phone calls.
As for Cabe. Even though Walter had claimed down a bit, Walter was still pissed. There was no way Cabe wanted to make things worse by pressing the issue. For all he knew it was Sly or Paige calling him, wanting him and Walter to fix things.

Walter's name for Toby in his phone being "Know-It-All" and Toby's being "Ego-Maniac" for Walter is just so them. I love this show.

i had the best idea for a collection of scorpion one shots about toby and happys adopted daughter as if the show got a reboot… would anyone be interested?? lots of fun interactions with other characters of the show, hella quintis, oodles of bad teenage decision making but satisfying consequences, i would take so many requests… this is a niche audience though lmao

Scorpion took a group of characters that most authors would write as teenagers and decided to make them middle-aged and it absolutely fucking rocks.

Truth, Dare, or Statistics
Sylvester Dodd x Reader
Warnings: fluff, female reader, bit of self-deprecating talk, Paige outs your crush on Sly
"You should just tell him." Paige's voice startled me out my trance. I shook my head and turned to look at her.
"What?"
She sighed. "You need to tell Sylvester. It would make you feel better."
"Oh no. No, no, no. I cannot tell him! He is a certified genius and I'm just a nobody. Seriously, I don't even know why you guys let me hang around," I said.
Paige sat next to me at the table, laying a hand on my arm. "You are not a nobody. Everyone loves having you around. You are smarter than you think and you help everyone here."
I laid my head on her shoulder, resting my hand on hers. "Thanks Paige. But still, Sly could do so much better than me."
"He really couldn't. He loves you."
I shot straight up and stared at her. "Nu uh. You are kidding me."
Paige smiled. "You're just too busy denying everything to see it. But I see they way he looks at you when you're not paying attention. You're the moon to him."
My face scrunched in confusion. "Isn't it normally 'you're the sun'?"
"How do you look at the sun?" Paige countered.
"I don't. It hurts."
"And how do you look at the moon?"
I sighed, seeing her point. "Like it's the most beautiful thing in existence. But come on, Paige."
Paige shook her head. "Don't you dare. I may not be a certified genius but I can tell when someone's in love."
I shrugged.
Paige patted my shoulder. "You'll see." She ignored my gaze as she stood from the table and walked off. She walked over to the staircase and called up to our friends.
"Guys, break time! Get down here!"
She had a smile on her face as she walked back over to me and pulled me to the couch.
Surprisingly, our friends had listened to her and came downstairs.
"What's going on, Paige?" Walter asked, taking a seat next to his girlfriend.
Paige pulled out her phone and began typing. "You guys have been up there for hours so it's time for a break. I ordering pizza and we're gonna play a game."
"Ooh, what kind of game?" Toby asked.
Paige finished ordering and put her phone away. "We're gonna play Truth, Dare or Statistics."
"What's that?" Happy asked, grabbing a chair from the table.
"It's like basic truth or dare but you have the option to ask for a statistical question. So if it was my turn and I asked (Y/N) "truth, dare or statistic" and she chose statistic, I would ask a statistical question such as "how many women have green eyes". She would give me an answer and if she was correct, it'd be her turn to ask somebody else but if she gets it wrong then I get to make her do whatever I want." Paige explained.
"I like this game!" Toby exclaimed, sitting by Happy.
"I take it I'm in charge of deciding if a statistics answered correctly?" Sylvester asked. He grabbed a chair and moved to sit by me so we were all sitting in a circle.
"Yup. Ready to play?"
The group agreed and the game began. Toby managed to dare Happy to let Paige dress her in one of her outfits and Walter got asked who he was secretly jealous of. (He tried to get out of it but said it was Sly.)
The pizza came after a couple of rounds and we chowed down as we continued on with the game.
We were dying of laughter as Sylvester got dared to sing the National Anthem in falsetto. Finally Paige turned to me.
"Truth, dare, or statistic, (Y/N)?"
"Statistic. Let's see if my random ability to guess numbers works on this."
"What is the likelihood that Sylvester has a crush on you?"
Everything went quiet. I felt frozen as Paige's question processed in my head. I couldn't look at anybody else but Paige, too scared to see what their reaction would be.
"0%. We've talked about this Paige," I answered quietly.
"But you're wrong! Please, I just want to see my best friends happy!" Paige pleaded.
I shook my head and stood up. "Thanks for trying, Paige. I'll see you later."
I started walking away when Sylvester called out. "Paige is right! Don't you want to hear the correct answer?"
I stopped walking and wiped the tears from my eyes. "Sure," I said turning around, faking a smile.
Sly took a deep breath, fiddling with his fingers. "The likelihood that I have a crush on you is not 0%. It's 100%. I've just been too scared to say anything because I thought you could do better."
"Sly, no one could be better than you. You're a literal genius and so so kind to everyone. What's not to love about you?" I walked over to where Sylvester was standing, fighting the nerves.
Sly smiled and took my hand. "So what do you say? Will you let me take you on a date?"
I smiled back and nodded.
"Finally!" Toby yelled.
I jumped and turned to face my friends that I forgot were still here. "What?"
"We've been waiting forever for you two to finally confess." Happy explained.
"The fact that you couldn't see the pining happening was excruciating! I was dying to force you two into a closet till you guys kissed but Paige said no." Toby added.
"Which is why I'm confused you practically forced them to say something now." Walter pitched in.
Paige grimaced. "I know. I didn't want to force you guys to do anything but I didn't want to see you in pain coming up with different scenarios where Sly rejected you, (Y/N). The guys needed a break from their work so they wouldn't get burned out and I saw an opportunity."
I glared at Paige before smiling gently. "Well, thank you I guess. I probably wouldn't have done anything if you hadn't intervened."
Sylvester squeezed my hand and smiled. "At least we know now. No sense worrying about what might have been."
I nodded and leaned against him. "I think we've had enough of a break. Sly, wanna show me what you've been working on?"
Sly nodded and began talking about his project as we made our way upstairs. I looked back over my shoulder and smiled at Paige, giving her a silent thank you.
She smiled back and nodded.

It’s Walter’s team. Your vote does not outclass his vote. If Walter wants the old bastard out then out the old bastard goes.
