Title: In the Wrong Hands

Rating: PG
Summery: No one asks a knife if it would rather be a flower
She is made to be a weapon and her lines are smooth and strong.
She is steel and sinew and bone and can take out a number of men without any significant damage to herself.
She is made to be a weapon, and she is good at what she does.
When the captain fires her, sends her spinning, he does it because she is a weapon, and he can use her to save other lives.
When Jayne turns her off, hand on the back of her neck as he grunts out words in a language he doesn’t speak, he does it because he doesn’t trust any weapon without a safety.
When she cries, after, clutching at his arms, she does it because she doesn’t know how to stop.
She is a hair trigger gun with silver bullets inside, and no one asks a knife if it would like to be a flower.
She is made to be a weapon, and her fingers are twitching.
Bang.
END

Date: 2006-03-14 01:32 am (UTC)of course, now im thinking of Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark, where the big guy jumps out and swings his sword around theaterically, and Indy pulls out his gun and shoots him.
Jayne would so totally do that.
