Drabble: Michael Tag

[wickedwords]

Originally written for oddball_sga's Elizabeth/Carson challenge.


Standing the office door way, arms crossed over her chest, Elizabeth watched as Carson silently packed away the disks with Michael’s information on them. "You'll need those, won't you?"

Carson wouldn't look at her, tapping the last disk on his hands. "No," he said softly, spinning it onto his desk. "Not if we're giving up on my research the way we should."

"We're not giving up." Angling around him, she picked up the neatly-labeled 'day one' disk. "Either they go or we do." She held the disk out, letting him take it. "And you know it needs to be them."

*shivers* Elizabeth's pragmatic streak is really disturbing sometimes. She's so calm and matter of fact about it.

She is! I really expected her to be fairly upfront about what the options were, but it never got stated as baldly as I wanted. Hence my little tag. *g* Thanks!

Reading a strong Elizabeth is always good. I could picture this exchange happening.

Thanks, hon. She's an interesting character, and I'd love to see more done with her.

Oh, I like that a lot. I love to see that in the show.

Ack, I meant, "I'd love to see that" etc.

Thanks! I'd love to have seen something like that too.

:shivers: Very nice.

Thanks! I'm not sure why no one really brought up that it is a fight to the death, and the last group standing is the one that 'wins'.
