I'll Take Those Odds (Leverage; Nate/Eliot; running from the alliance)hunters_retreatFebruary 24 2009, 16:12:23 UTC
I couldn't pass this one up :P
Eliot stared at the man at his feet, his eyes wide and seemingly unfocused. Nate knew better though. He knew what Eliot was capable of and knew to trust the other man’s sometimes crazed ramblings. They didn’t normally make sense in the moment, but after the fact it was easy enough to piece it all together.
“Eliot?” Nate called out to him, afraid to touch when his mind was elsewhere.
“We have to go.”
“Where Eliot?”
“There are others that have escaped. We’ll find them.”
“Alright. We can find them Eliot, but right now we have to get away. I have to make you safe.”
Eliot looked at him then, eyes bright and focused solely on Nate. “I’ll never be safe against Nate. You should let me go.”
“Never.” Nate said, grabbing Eliot by the arm and pulling him close. “I’m not leaving without you Eliot. You want me to be safe, then you have to help me keep you safe. It’s you and me now. We’re a team.” He pulled his face close then, letting his lips brush across Eliot’s in a kiss that was far gentler than any other they’d shared.
“You got that? Me and you against the world if we have to be. Against the Alliance.” There was humor in Eliot’s eyes when he looked and Nate smiled back at him. “Nothing in the ‘verse can stop us when we’re together Eliot.”
Eliot’s eyes went wild for a minute and Nate wondered for the millionth time what all the work they had done to his brain had really done to him. “Just you and me against the whole ‘verse Nate?” He whispered the words into Nate’s lips. “I’ll take those odds.”

ROFL! River!Eliot tee hee hee! I liked the idea of him being the one messed with, his fighting abilities and all that just made him perfect for it and hey... if Simon can get River out, you know Nate can come up with a better plan!

:P Welcome! I loved the prompt! And the idea of Eliot being like River... tee hee hee... And Nate would just HAVE to get him out of there. :P Glad you enjoyed it hon!
