To find a Queen

2

Author Note: This is me apologizing for the heavily written Southern accent, but yes, that is how they talk because their accents are based off mine. I fine when a bunch of Southerners are in a conglomerate our accents get thicker, so it was only natural for Olivia's accent to automatically thicken after being away from the south for so long. So if the spelling looks wrong, it is. It's spelled phonetically with tuhs and fers. Yes, Virginia is in the south.

Author Note 2: I needed to break them up so it wasn't this thick mass I know you all will skip over. If you've seen American Horror Story, imagine Olivia sounding like Constance from season 1. It's developed into this hybrid posh english/southern accent...like, it reeks of good breeding almost...

Finding Lamorak wouldn't be easy, and the first thing Olivia needed to do was an exercise in patience. She wanted to jump the gun and throw herself into battle, guns ablazing in a hail of glory, but that was tactless and graceless and improper, and Agent Guinevere was neither of those.

After Agent Jefferson's arrival from DC the previous night, the pair set out from Olivia's borrowed apartment the next foggy morning.

"How've ya been Tony?" She inquired, taking a swallow of her coffee as he drove through the early light. The air was humid and cloying, she started to sweat at the nape of her neck and the dip of her back.

"The same old, same old, you know how it is." His Southern drawl reminded her of home and she smiled knowingly at him.

"That I do.." she gave a small laugh. "It's been a bit more than the "same old" you'll have ta agree."

Tony acquiesced with a bashful nod, keeping his eyes on the road. " I was hopin' ta ignore that 'til later. Condolences 'bout Arthur by the way, I was gunna send ya a card but.." He trailed off with a shrug. Tony always was one for half-assed sentimentality.

"Don' be, Arthur was a traiter and I'm pleased ta see his seat taken up by the former Galahad." Olivia shrugged. It was true that Arthur's betrayal had stung her the most because she could remember when Chester King hadn't been a senile old prick, but was Uncle Kay.She could remember trinkets brought home from far away places and it stung, because for everything he did for her, the betrayal of not even offering to save her hurt something awful.

"Lordy Liv, that's a bit cold. He was family."

There was something about southerners and their thick disposition on family that even she couldn't shake, it was probably why she mourned Chester in the first place.

"He left me fer dead Tony." she fixed him with an icy look as they pulled into Quantico's parking garage.

"OR, he knew you would say no, so he didn' bother."

And chose that prat of a baby cousin Charlie instead...

Olivia huffed in annoyance at Tony's prying and ended the conversation with a glare that could cut ice.

Tony froze for a moment ".....Sorry ." he nodded at her in apology as they exited the old 68' Ford he drove, knowing he had struck a nerve.

"Mmm." she responded as they made their way out of the massive garage.

"Accordin' to Merlin we're goin' to install the observational equipment in the classroom today." Olivia said, going through the building's blueprints on her glasses to find prime camera angles.

"Yessum." he waved the metal case he had drug from the back of his pick-up.

"Right-o then." Olivia dropped the heavy drawl as they entered the building, badges ready. Tony put the metal container through the X-ray machine and stepped through the metal detector inside the building's entrance, he collected it again with a wink to the female officer on guard duty and was off alongside Olivia again.

"You're a shameless flirt." she smirked at him as they entered the elevator to take them to the oldest section of the building. Tony cringed at his full name and glared at her without any heat.

"You're one to talk."

Olivia snorted and pressed the little four button on the door panel, from the elevator they took a newly built glass-walled bridge and entered the old school building. The two pushed open Room 109's door as a team effort and began to work before the first lecture of the day.

After five cameras placed discreetly in room corners (they weren't very big, thanks Merlin), and forty-eight microphones later, students found both Tony and Olivia lounged on the floor in front of her desk, his arm slung around her shoulder, both of them relatively sweaty, covered in dust and a few cuts each. Neither agent bothered to move as the students of the FBI field academy filled into the seats. It was loud until it wasn't, olivia Olivia chose that moment to sit up, dust herself off and introduce herself to the class.

"Mornin'." she said curtly.

"I'm Doctor King and that sweaty heap of man stink is Agent Holloway and we just spent the mornin' running; SO! Due to that, I am currently too exhausted to teach; therefore today is a mandatory pick your partner day. Look to the person, next to the person you're sitting next to. That person is your partner. There are no favorites in this class, so that means your partner is not going to be your "bestest-best-friend-in-the-whole-wide-world", I am utterly indifferent to you all; there will be homework and you will see as much of Agent Holloway as you will of me. Understood? Questions?"

Someone piped up from the back. "You're the new MI5 teacher right?"

Olivia smirked at Tony's raised eyebrow. "Of sorts."

A small murmur rippled through the class.

"You've met James Bond then?"

everyone laughed at that..

"No," she answered "but I do know a dog named Jack Bauer."

The class sounded again. Another asked "Are you working on the Ripper Case?"

The room was suddenly silent and still, waiting for a confirmation.

"Classified." She said, which was answer enough.

She glanced down at her expensive and deadly watch"I need all of you to read the first two chapters of your textbooks by next class, and with that we are out of time, I expect you to have traded cellular numbers with your partners, and that you sit by them on Wednesday. Have a nice day."

As the last student filed out Tony looked up from his sprawled position on the floor with a raised eyebrow. "Eagle just informed me that Jack Crawford is on his way to the speak with you."

"Hmm. How long" she responded, half paying attention.

"Now."

There was a knock at the door and Olivia heaved a deep relieved sigh, the mission was about to start.
