AN: this little story popped into my head last night and i just couldn't resist...it might be a little different from my others but it's still a McDanno piece. It's a different take on what happened just before Danno rescued Steve from the back of the truck. Please enjoy this little fantasy.
TWISTED MOONLIGHT
Steve was in the back of the truck waiting to be killed and wishing he didn't have this need to help others, wishing this pain would go away. He was jerked out of his thoughts when it abrutly came to a stop and he heard gunfire. Wo Fat came in really fast and looked at him with evil eyes but he didn't try to get away, he was too weak and frankly he just didn't care because maybe just maybe Wo Fat would end this pain but he didn't. He took his arm and injected something into him, "I was going to try this out when we got to our new location but we're not going to get there. Now you will be forever changed." He told him before leaving just as fast as he came.
Steve tried to grab hold of him but he moved too quickly and he fell over causing him more pain than when he was hung up by his wrists. He sat back up and leaned against the wall with his head down, his wrists and feet still bound and he had cuts and bruises on his face. All of a sudden the tarp flew open and he thought for a moment that he was imagining Danny with a machine gun. But that voice that washed over him, he knew it wasn't in his head, "Danny" he said weakly. And Danny scrambled in there ripping the binding off and nearly crying at the same time, "Thank god I found you! Come on, lets go home"
"Wo Fat?"
"Gone...ran away again that coward. Next time I see him I'm gonna put a bullet through his head no questions asked."
"Jenna?"
Danny avoided that question, "Steve, lets get you into the copter first then you can ask away all you want." He replied as he threw a look to Chin who was on the other side of him helping Steve walk down to the copter. Danny did not like the way blondie came running out and hugging his man-that man was his and his only and for a profiler she sure is dense or refusing to see that Steve was already with someone, namly him but oh well, he gets to have him all to himself when they get to the house.
They all got in and someone told the captin to go but Steve started protesting, "WAIT,WAIT! WHAT ABOUT JENNA? WE NEED TO GET JENNA, SHE SAVED MY LIFE! PLEASE!"
A comforting hand laid on his shoulder and he looked up at Joe with sad terrified eyes, "Joe, where is she?"
"I'm sorry son but she died. Wo Fat must've killed her."
Steve gasped as the memory of Jenna being shot right in front of him came back with full force, "Oh my god! It's my fault shhe's ddead! He...He shot her right in front of me and I couldn't do a damn thing about it; I was hanging my wrists! Oh god! What I have done!" He yelled as he held that rifle close to him while he pulled up his knees and began rocking back and forth. He stopped and looked down at the trees knowing that Wo Fat was down hiding somewhere. He wished so badly to jump out and go hunt him down like the animal he is and kill him. Danny saw that he was sporting a major hard anyerism face and he nudged Joe who looked down. Joe put a hand on his shoulder and pulled him back, "Stand down Commander-that's an order." He looked up at him and nodded letting the light conversation wash over him and pretty soon he fell asleep.
They finally arrived back in Oahu two days later and Steve hadn't felt any different well only sore but from what WoFat injected him with, nothing seemed to happen and frankly he forgot about it till a week later when the full moon came out and that's when things changed.
The day had started off normally with Steve wrapped around Danny-holding on to him like he might disappear-they had a couple of easy cases that went by fairly quick and so did the paperwork. It was while Steve was doing the paperwork that he began to feel strange. He felt as though his skin was on fire, he getting hotter by the second and he thought he felt fangs. So getting up quickly he ran to the bathroom and locked the door. He went to the mirror where he let out a scream-his hair was longer to the point where it was wavy, his skin was paler and his eyes were flickering between a yellow and an icy white blue and for some reason he was hungry but not for food but for blood. He lifted his upper lip to find he did in fact have fangs. He slowly looked at himself, nothing seemed different expect his hair, teeth and oh his muscles were slightly bigger than before.
He heard banging on the door, "STEVE! WHAT'S WRONG BABE! OPEN UP OR I WILL BLOW IT DOWN-I PROMISE, I'VE SEEN YOU DO IT BEFORE! STEVEN PLEASE!" Danny franctly yelled and Steve could hear Danny's heartbeat, smell the fear and worry on him and in his voice.
"Danny...go away! I don't want you to see me like this!"
"Steve, baby, whatever it is we can get through it-just please let me in."
He thought about this for a second before unlocking the door and going into the stall. Danny sighed and followed him, "Steve you don't have hide from me. It's okay."
"No it's not...I don't want to hurt you!"
"Steven what the hell are you talking about?"
"WoFat injected me with something before you found me. He said he wanted to try this when we'd gotten to the new location but then you guys showed up and ruined his plans. But he did it anyway and he said that I was forever changed. At first I thought he was just messing with me until today. What cycle is the moon on today?"
"Uhh it's a full moon tonight...why? None of this is making any sense."
"Damnit! No wonder I didn't feel anything till today. Look just get out of here!"
Danny finally had enough of this charede so he went to the next stall and got up on the toliet and looked down and gasped. Steve looked up then covered his head, "DANNY! WHAT THE HELL! WHAT DID I SAY! GET OUT!"
"NO STEVEN, NOT UNTIL YOU COME OUT OF THERE RIGHT NOW AND I'M TALKING RIGHT FREAKING NOW!"
Steve sighed, "Okay" and came out into full view of Danny. Danny's eyes went wide as plates and his mouth opened then closed.
"Steven...is...is that really you?"
"Yes damnit, it's me!"
"But you're uhhh..."
"Vampire...yes Danny I can see that. Thank you Captin Obvoius. Look if you don't want to be with me anymore I understand."
Danny stepped closer to Steve, "No way in hell am I going to leave you. You clearly need me to help you through." He held out his forearm, "Go ahead"
Steve was now confused, "What! No! Danny! No, I won't drink off you!"
Danny grabbed his shoulders and pulled him down to eye level, "Listen to me, if you do not take care of yourself while you are like this-you could die and I will not have that! Not when I can do something about it! Now here, drink."
"How do you know so much about this?"
"I heard about it back in Jersey. It was a rumor going around the station that the government was doing experiments."
"Oh. ok."
"Well if you're done talking I do believe you need to eat something. Here." He held out his forearm again and Steve with shaky hands took it then looked at him, his voice got deeper, "At some point you're gonna have to stop me." He stated before biting down and drinking in Danny's blood.
Danny gasped as he felt two little pricks go into his skin and he felt blood leaving his body but he smiled because he was saving the man he loved. After about 5 minutes he began to feel light headed so he banged on Steve's shoulder to indicate for him to stop and he immediately stopped. Steve looked at him with concerned icy blue eyes, "You okay?"
"Yeah just a little light headed is all."
"Come on...go lie down in my office."
Steve helped Danny to his office where he laid him and put a blanket over him, "Thanks babe."
"Anytime" Danny replied sleeply as he drifted off.
