Oh, man, great job blending the two worlds! (And I can just imagine what Hardison thought of some of that equipment, too.) Thank you, this was great fun!

[jedibuttercup]

Thanks! Yeah, I might have to write more in this 'verse at some point. Hardison might be able to hack anything electronic on the planet, but Eureka would throw even him, I think. *grin*

I'm glad you enjoyed it! ♥ I love all these characters, and after I watched "The Boost Job" it seemed natural how a cop/marshal might have met Parker in the past.

[faithburke]

Wow, this is way better than anything I could have come up with! I really love your Jack Carter, and how he sees Parker.

[jedibuttercup]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Jack Carter's one of my favorite characters of all time, and it was an interesting prompt to work for. =)

I love Jack. Love him like a fat kid loves cake. I do love me some Leverage Consultants too, I gotta say I would about kill to see more in this 'verse with Jack and them interacting. Or them hearing about him from Parker.

I love your way of including him in Parker's backstory--the tendency of authors is to take a character with a crappy childhood and make it unrelieved angst, but I like to think Parker have some good people around her before show-timeline. And of course Jack could be that guy...he's just so dyed-in-the-wool decent. Like Superman and Captain America, he gets crap because his good nature is 'boring' but canons full of miserable people gets old fast.

Sorry, I'm rabbiting on. I loved the story, and I would love to see more at some point! You do the best crossovers. :D

[jedibuttercup]

Thank you for your thoughtful comments and compliments; I'm so glad you enjoyed the story!

Parker clearly has trauma in her past, but she isn't a malicious person; I figured she had to have at least a few good influences. I decided why not let Jack be one of them? =) Maybe one of these days I'll come back to this 'verse for more.

Aw... I love it. The two universes were seamlessly integrated. I especially loved the line "She'd probably return most of it-- she usually did-- but she didn't always remember what she'd took." Cuteness.

♥ Parker! Glad you liked the story!
