Title: In Over My Head
Rating: K
Prompt: 'Everyone knows I'm in over my head'
Character: Captain McCrea

"Cease! Desist! Let go! Get off!"
That was the chorus to our battle, but I was surprised he wasn't panicking worse. Yeah, Auto, panicking. Who woulda thought, huh?
A couple of hard tugs and I'd gotten over to the holodetector button, my weight and sheer force of will dragging Auto down one of his rails backwards. I pressed it, and while I struggled to hold him still I could see the all the passengers being drawn to the Lido deck. A few seconds later the big screen outside lit up, revealing our fight to the masses.
Oh yeah, everyone knew I was in over my head even as calm as I was trying to be. Then again, the same could probably be said for Auto. Unstoppable force meets immovable object, and the only thing that really matters is which one is stronger. Unfortunately for him, I wasn't the only unstoppable force around here.
