Gabriel and Riley: Fifty Things
By: DemonClowSorceress
Number fifteen is my first foray into the Intelligence fandom. Presenting our favorite CyberCom duo, Gabriel Vaughn and Riley Neal!
#1 - Check-in
She calls him to check in every day at 6AM and 8PM, and they pretend they're not sneaking glances at each other through their windows.
#2 - Satellite
Seeing Clockwork in action - seeing Gabriel in action - was incredible.
#3 - Mozart
He heaved an irritable sigh as the Turkish Waltz started up again. "Doc, you realize this could be classified as torture."
#4 - Company
"You're impossible," Riley sighed at the twin pairs of puppy-dog eyes.
#5 - Hobby
"Sonofa - " he breathed as he watched his slim, spry partner drop a man twice her size with one hand.
#6 - Sealed
He'd promised not to snoop, but circumstances being what they were, Gabriel valued his partner's well-being over her privacy.
#7 - Neosporin
"Stop being a baby and hold still."
#8 - Jargon
Riley learned to cover Gabriel's slips around uncleared personnel very early on.
#9 - Jameson
He had a lot of respect for the new girl. Not many could give as well as they got.
#10 - Bad
"Cheer up, Riley. At least it isn't - "
#11 - Worse
"If you say it, I swear to God I will punch you."
#12 - Sync
They move, think, and fight with a fluidity most partners can never achieve.
#13 - Shield
Her job was to always come between him and danger. But someone needed to protect her too.
#14 - Confirmation
A close scare in the field had Gabriel reaching over every few seconds to make sure she was actually there.
#15 - Clockwork
"I thought you said Weatherly didn't get to you," Riley said, eyeing the book in his hand.
#16 - Curls
He'd seen her hair loose before, but nothing like this.
#17 - Emasculation
It was definitely the wrong choice of words.
#18 - Marine
Seeing him stand "at attention," Riley smiled and thought, Some things never change.
#19 - Watch
She kept it long after that mission to Mexico, frozen on the moment she led him to her location.
#20 - Twenty
Nobody understood why Gabriel asked Jameson to spot him some cash. When asked why, he only said, "I owe Riley."
#21 - Mother
Mary Vaughn smiled as the brunette blushed. She was many things, but blind was not one of them.
#22 - Serpent
Mei Chen wasn't the only temptation he had to resist.
#23 - Frankenstein
Sure it bothered her that people thought he wasn't human, but it bothered her more when he believed them.
#24 - Conflict
She was the enemy. So why was it so damn hard to shoot her?
#25 - Lillian
After watching their interactions in the field, the signs were clear even to the rawest agent.
#26 - Faraday
After a day in the protected safehouse, Riley was about ready to shoot him herself.
#27 - Compass
"I knew you'd find me."
#28 - Display
All day he saw data superimposed over reality - except when he looked at her.
#29 - Movies
"Can't believe you've never seen this series," Riley said, placing a bowl of popcorn between them on the couch.
#30 - Virus
He clutched his head and screamed as his mind scrambled to protect itself.
#31 - Mei
She was the Eve to his Adam, and they could be gods together. But he only wanted to be a man.
#32 - Infected
He couldn't relax until the needle was in her arm and the plunger dropped.
#33 - Scars
Neither one could say they made it through life without some marks.
#34 - Robot
It took all her considerable self-control not to punch the man. Instead she growled, "His name is Gabriel."
#35 - Suture
"Where'd you learn field surgery from? Your mother?"
#36 - Nelson
"Boys and girls, our sucky day has just decided to suck harder."
#37 - Lunch
Sometimes, they just had to get away for a quiet bite.
#38 - Priority
He didn't know why he yelled "Riley's been hit!" before relaying their situation.
#39 - Tie
"Feels like a damn noose around my neck," he grumbled as he tugged at the silken knot.
#40 - Shenendoah
He couldn't have prescribed a better cure for his boy's broken heart.
#41 - Stained
Neither of their hands were clean.
#42 - Finalist
One of six potential protectors. What made Riley Neal edge out her competition?
#43 - Volunteer
Only a desperate man would do it. Or a man with nothing to lose.
#44 - Jedi
He had far too much fun remote-activating everything within the building and scaring the newbies.
#45 - Karaoke
Gabriel's jaw dropped when his partner's sexy voice purred through the microphone.
#46 - Heart
Some people think he doesn't have one because of his chip, but Riley knows better.
#47 - Thriller
"You never did explain how you got that code name."
#48 - Tequila
Gabriel brought out the old, dusty bottle whenever they had a rough day.
#49 - Jukebox
Riley smirked when a country song came out of the speakers.
#50 - Partners
Through thick and thin, they stand as equals against the threats aimed at their country.
I'm so sad they cancelled this series! Oh well, at least we've got the fanfiction!
One-shots to follow? Yay or nay?
