A big Thank You goes to goldarrow for the speedy beta!

I saw the drama unfold about a half second before it happened.

And it was all my fault.

I had made my way to Connor's lab to tell him about the last minute „invitation“ (order, more like) from the minister to some fancy schmoozing dinner that evening. I knew Connor would be stupidly excited about this while I had no interest in buttering up some Sirs and Dames of questionable merits.

The door to the lab swooshed open quietly and I spotted Connor with his back turned to me, precariously standing on his desk chair, one leg lifted into the air for balance and the opposite arm stretched out wide to reach for something on the chaotic mountain of metal and wires that was his equipment shelve.

„Connor! What on earth are you doing? You're going to break your neck!“

„So, you're telling me Nancy's having babies... cubs... whatever?“, Lester folded his hands.

„Uhm, yes?“ Abby blinked.

„And, how exactly, Ms Maitland, is that possible? I thought Sid got snipped a year ago. To prevent a scenario with too many tiny feet scuttling on ARC grounds. Did she have an extramarital affair with Rex now?“ 

„No! It's... a miracle?“

A/N: Kind-of sequel to Improper Behaviour; with a bit of good will it could be counted as a delayed contribution to Becker/Jess and Connor/Matt R month 😉 Matt Rees is telperion_15’s. Thanks to the wonderful fififolle for the beta, you're a star! However, I claim all remaining mistakes as my own ;)

It actually is cuddle pollen. No bacteria, fungus or mysterious future life form. Plain old pollen. What Matt’s (Anderson, Matt – the Ice Prince – not Rees, Matt – too-good-to-be-true Matt, Connor’s Matt) analysis hasn’t answered, though, is the exact type of plant they had to watch out for in the future to avoid more incidences. So, Connor is going to find out. 

Nodding to himself, he glances to either side of the corridor and when he is sure he is still alone, he quickly holds his access bracelet to the scanner next to the door to Matt’s lab. Of course, Connor doesn’t have access rights to that room. He snickers when the door slides open silently. It definitely has its perks being a tech geek.

A/N: Written for Primeval100, challenge 626: MI5

They were too good. Too intelligent, skilled, motivated, successful. And now, Lester had to fight off the sharks of MI5.

As soon as they’d realized that the anomaly project was staffed with people who had the drive and ability to excel, they’d tried to steal half his team away. Jess for her programming skills, Connor for his breakthrough inventions, Becker for anti-terror missions on English soil. 

It was a good thing Lester had enough pull to stop it. Because when he’d discussed it with them, and the career opportunities a transfer might hold, they’d preferred to stay with the ARC.

A/N: This fic was inspired by the line “They are living in their own time” during a talk on dementia at a conference I attended. I wrote this in memory of my grandma. I hope she is fine where she is now.
Thanks to the lovely fredbassett for the speedy beta.

Becker looked at his image in the bathroom mirror after styling his hair. There was an increasing proportion of grey, and the lines around his eyes and on his forehead were getting deeper. But what was he expecting? The big 5-0 was looming and he’d never exactly had a quiet life. All things considered, he could be quite happy with his looks at his age, he decided. He washed the rest of the gel off his hands and left the bathroom in the direction of the kitchen. Lester was still sitting at the table. He’d only taken a few bites from his toast and the cup of coffee was almost full. 

“Why don’t you eat a little bit more, love? And drink your coffee, I made it just the way you like it,” Becker said and brushed his hand softly through Lester’s thin hair.

His words startled Lester out of his thoughts and, rather surprised, he looked down at his plate. He lifted up the piece of toast and took a bite.

Lester wished back the days when one had been appointed a role and then trusted they were capable of doing the job. But no, today there were leadership trainings. Lester looked down on his hands that were covered with dirt. Sowing seeds to prove they could assemble and grow a healthy team. This was ridiculous. 

He looked at the others. Becker’s face was carefully blank, his frame tense. He was clearly out of his comfort zone. Matt, on the other hand, was smiling brightly and happily dug in the soil. It was clear who would succeed best in this task.

Link to Part 1 / Part 2 

Ryan stared after Becker. This had gone terribly wrong. Somehow Becker seemed determined to misunderstand every word Ryan had wanted to say. But he would be damned if he was going to run after him now. When had all this become so fucking complicated?

Later that day, Ryan was catching up with some outstanding paperwork. When he had come in to take over from Becker, his omega had barely looked at him while reporting what had happened during his shift. Becker had left the room as soon as possible.

Ryan’s phone was beeping, and he picked it up to read the text. It was from Becker.

I think we should take a few days to get our heads around it. Maybe you could stay with Dan for a few days? I’ll stay in the house with pups then.

Becker felt the claws smashing into his inner thigh. An instant wave of pain washed through him as he landed on the ground hard, the raptor toppling over him and hitting the floor a couple of inches behind him. He heard screams and gunshots but all he could think of was the flaring pain in his leg. 

He was bleeding out. He could feel it. With every heartbeat blood was flooding out of his limb. He closed his eyes, trying to fight the overwhelming pain. “Hold on, Becker, fucking hold on!“, he heard Connor’s urging voice, now kneeling beside him and holding his upper body in a tight embrace, fists clenched onto his Kevlar vest. Good, Connor was okay. Another flash of pain as someone applied pressure on his wound made him grunt. He opened his eyes with an effort as if defying gravity itself and saw Connor’s face, full of angst and begging him to stay with him. Connor’s beautiful face. With an almost superhuman effort he lifted his hand and let it rest on Connor’s. He was bleeding out for him.
