  A talk, a time jump, a gift, an impulsive act.

This was probably not the place Kendra would have wanted to use for this kind of conversation, but here she was now, and she was going to use it; the group, minus Greta and Rip, were gathered at a cozy restaurant, they had been giving a table almost completely secluded from the rest of the costumers and for that Kendra was grateful.

"I wanted to talk to you guys" she started, she glanced down at her plate and then looked around the table. "About what's been going on around the ship"

"Is this an intervention?" asked Leonard, the mocking tone almost covering up the poison in his words.

"You can call it that if it makes you feel better" she shrugged, her eyes drilling into his.

Leonard raised an eyebrow, a little bit impressed with Kendra's attitude, she wasn't usually one to get aggressive with members of the crew, but still as Leonard looked at Kendra, it was Martin the one who spoke next.

This had been his fault, because he should have known better, he should have followed the suspicious behavior and he hadn't.

"You are the only to blame" he heard a voice in his head say, but it wasn't his, and he exactly who it belonged too, he just wasn't in the mood to admit that.

"I know you are all upset" she continued, "It doesn't take a genius to figure that out"

"Look... started Jax.
