“What in the hell is a Jabberwocky anyway?” Danny asked.
“I think you mean a Jabberwock.” Steve said not taking his eyes off of the road.. “The Jabberwock was the beast and Jabberwocky was the poem.”
Danny stared at Steve incredulously. “How in the fuck do you know that?”
“I read.” Steve replied defensively. “I had a class in college.”
“You read children’s books at the Naval Academy?” Danny said indignantly. “How does that help defend our borders?”
Steve glared at Danny.
“All right, all right.” Danny raised his hands in surrender. “So what is it anyway? Is it like a chupacabra?”
Steve rolled his eyes. “Of course not. The Jabberwock is only found in Wonderland and the chupacabra can be found all over the American Southwest and Latin America. Although I suppose a vorpal blade would work on both.”
“Ha, ha. Very funny.” Danny said sarcastically.
“Ask a stupid question...”
“You’re lucky you’re driving.” Danny said.
Steve laughed. “Why do you want to know anyway?”
“Grace saw the movie at a friends house. Kept talking about it.” Danny shrugged. “Not really important. So is Chin meeting us at the warehouse?”
“Yeah, he’s been trailing our suspect all day.” Steve said, making a sharp left turn. “We should have enough for a warrant now.”
“You mean you aren’t just going to egregiously violate his civil rights?” Danny asked, eyes wide in in mock surprise. “The DA will be so disappointed. I think he’s starting to enjoy the challenge.”
“Maybe he’ll get lucky and Kono won’t get the warrant in time.” Steve said dryly.
“Fingers crossed.” Danny said checking his gun as they pulled in to the warehouse. “Of course you can always torture him a bit instead. Maybe toss him into a shark cage.”
“Been there done that.” Steve said. “But there is an active volcano not too far from here.”
Danny shook his head. “There is no way you are getting me anywhere near a volcano.”
“Danny,” Steve said gravely. “This whole island was made by volcanoes. You aren’t very far from one anywhere.”
“Now why did you have to tell me that?” Danny exclaimed. “You know where there are no volcanoes? New Jersey. What the hell kind of place is this?”
“You know what New Jersey has that we don’t?” Steve asked parking next to Chin’s motorcycle out of sight of the warehouse door. “Three feet of snow.”
Danny rolled his eyes and opened the car door. “I think its time to go trounce some bad guys before I trounce you.”
Steve raised an eyebrow. “Trounce?”
Danny glared at him. “Mr. Jabberwocky is going to judge my vocabulary? I don’t want any more crap from you about ‘ergo’ or ‘trounce’ or anything else you got it?”
Steve raised his hands in surrender. “Whatever you say. But you do realize that trounce sounds like something a kitten does to a piece of yarn.”
Danny opened and closed his mouth twice before turning on his heel and stomping over to where Chin stood looking at building plans.
Steve grinned. It wasn’t very often that he got the last word. This was going to be a good day.

Summary: Steve finally gets the last word.
Warning: none
Author's Note: I had to write my 500 words for Lent today so I asked my friend Brett for two nouns and a verb. He gave me Jabberwocky, Chupacabra, and Trounce. He obviously hates me. But I did it and I made it Gen just so he would read it.

Date: 2011-04-01 12:42 pm (UTC)I freely admit to using the word "trounce" in sentences particularly during baseball season :)
And the McDanno banter was excellent and now Danny has to live with the idea that Steve thinks of him as a kitten--that is beyond precious.
Wonderful work on this :)

Date: 2011-04-01 02:02 pm (UTC)I love writing them bantering but given the topic I don't even know what to do with this one. My friend Brett obviously hates me with the prompts he gave. Of course I should have known better than to ask him. LOL.
Baseball fan huh? What team? Personally I'm a college basketball and football person.

Date: 2011-04-01 02:15 pm (UTC)1. The Philadelphia Phillies--I'm from the suburbs of Philly
2. And any team playing against the New York Yankees :)
Re: college basketball--you must be loving March Madness. Do you have a specific college that's your favorite?

I &hearts my Wildcats. :D
And any team playing against the New York Yankees :)
I'm not a baseball person, but even I can't stand the Yankees. I hate teams in any sport where its all about the bandwagon and being cool instead of about the real fans. It annoys me. (Refuses to admit that me casually enjoying the Patriots is at all similar.)
