Because She’s Awesome
Declan was on a mission, a terrible mission, given to him by Magnus and there was no welching on it. Kate was late for a meeting and he was supposed to find her and retrieve her. Considering the snag and bag missions he’d been on starting in SAS with terrorists (granted most of those were body bags) and later for the Sanctuary, this should have been easy. It wasn’t like there was even a mystery concerning her location. He just had to go to her room and knock. Easy.

Easy, he thought, right.

He could hear slamming around and music blaring. After a moment, he knocked, knocked louder, but when she still didn’t answer he cracked the door.  Declan eased the door a little ways and hesitantly edged half his body into the room. He could hear her, he just couldn’t see her.

“Kate?” he said, looking around at the piles of clutter and the empty pizza boxes – at least he hoped they were empty pizza boxes.

“I’m a leader, I’m a winner, and I’m a cleaner,” she sang her way into the room with her hair wrapped in a towel and a robe that wasn’t quite red and wasn’t quite purple (he didn’t think it was pink, but he wasn’t exactly hip to the names of obscure colors that weren’t in the rainbow). He was too stunned at the moment to move or speak.

“Cause I’m awesome! I don’t need you cause I’m neato and I bea-” she saw him then, in her surprise she dropped the hair brush she’d been singing into only moments ago.

“Uh,” he said eloquently.

Kate made a sort of squeaking swallowing sound. Declan picked up the brush so that he wouldn’t have to look at her for a moment.

“Magnus said you were late, and she wanted you to hurry up,” he said sounding and feeling like a kid who was on a mission from Mom. He wasn’t sure which of them was more embarrassed now.

“I’ll be there in a minute,” she said quickly, just loud enough to be heard over the song still blaring from her bathroom.

“Right,” he said as he turned to leave.

“And Declan?”

“Yes?” he faced her, because it was really a point of pride now.

“If you speak of this to anyone, ever, I will rip out your tongue and kill everyone you told. Got it?”

Declan smiled.

“Try threatening me again later, you know, when your hair isn’t in a towel.” And then he spirited from the room feeling the hair brush just miss his ear.

AH I LOVE IT! I've always felt that Declan didn't stand a chance with the rest of the Sanctuary people. He's so painfully normal. : P This is funny, and awesome, and I loved it. : D I'm now realising that I don't have a Sanctuary icon. Maybe if you write more of this universe I'll have to get one. : )

I just realized the other day that I don't have a Sanctuary icon. I have to correct this VERY soon. Absolutely unacceptable. I love that show! What have I been thinking?
