Mr. Nash Is Growing On Me

SEASON 2 Finale Spoilers!

UNPOPULAR OPINION ALERT:

There are many things I like about William, but his male ego is getting on my nerves. When Eliza proposes William come work for her, I’ll admit it was ill advised. His personality would no more allow him to be subservient than hers would. However for him to fly off the handle about how degrading it would be was WAY too far. 

It is her business, she has proven herself at least his investigative equal in a world that always tilts in his favor as a male and a police officer. Additionally accusing her of making the offer to further her ambitions was disgusting. He should know her well enough to realize this is her clumsy way of trying to keep him in her life. It is especially not a good look in an episode with Mr. Nash.

I know the name of the show. I know if anyone is ending up together it is William and Eliza. I know they need to keep the “will they/won’t they” tension. HOWEVER I hope they know what they are doing Nash, because I tell you right now that the man is growing on me for a number of reasons:

1) He respects her skills

On the first case he plants a spy and passes of her conclusions as his own. That shows great trust in her intelligence. When he gets shot she’s his first choice of investigator rather than his own people, one of the other agencies, or the police. 

2) He doesn’t get upset when she bests and/or insults him

When she turns his double cross against him or tricks him into paying her more, he seems to admire her more for it. He does not get angry when she insults him. On the contrary, he likes that she is the only one that does it to his face.  

3) He admires her ambition

In fact he calls it part of the “holy trinity.” He isn’t threatened by it and doesn’t shame her for it.

4) He is adaptable

When Eliza rejects Nash’s first employment offer, he adjusts and re-pitches. Much better than say slamming one’s foot down. Quite the contrast to William who tends to dictate terms and expects to be obeyed. See the lack of counteroffer in the “work for me” proposal. 

5)  His methods are similar to Eliza’s

Eliza is an ends justify the means type of girl. She lies, sneaks, steals, and manipulates her way to success. She has little regard for the law. Same is true of Nash. William by contrast is beholden to procedure. He likes rules and governable systems. He tends tackles things head-on.

6) He is as sharp as Eliza

2x06 proves he is not a hack, given that he clocked the shooter with even more detail than Eliza recalled.

7) He does not seem to want a traditional homelife 

William I think wants children and an sanctuary away from the cares of work life. Nash, on the other hand, I get the sense he eats and breathes his business. Those type of people tend to be less child focused. I think the most Nash would want in life is someone to care and someone to trust.   

8) He can consider her opinions without either dismissing them or being ruled by them

This is in reference to the cane exchange, though I may be reading into it. He doesn’t immediately throw her choice into the bin once out she’s out of earshot. He stops, ponders and then decides to go with his first instinct. 

9) She “makes him want to be a fairer man”

This is pretty close to the classic romantic quote “You make me want to be a better man.” Furthermore its not BS, given his choices to not blame her for being shot and letting her keep the money. 

10) He appreciates her care

Unlike others that could be mentioned, who tend to question her affection whenever she does something that displeases him. Such men might, say, throw embroidered handkerchiefs into the trash in a fit of pique.

[awkward-thinker]

I've been thinking about how Mr. Ogami/Mr. Nash/Guren's father was the previous Bravenwolf, and I wonder how he felt about Vilius's betrayal. can't remember exactly what happened; if Vilius beat the past Knights or vice versa, but I would like to imagine that Mr. Nash was furious with him.

Man, I’ve been thinking way too much about Tenkai Knights. I hope that they do something for its tenth anniversary..

Monday Night Raw: October 18, 1993

Yaaaas! Defend your mans, Diesel. VOTE YES

[4ndj4]

Just made my own template

Tried to fit in all the characters

[scottishaccentsareawesome]

Buck: How would you feel about loaning me five hundred dollars? Bobby: Uh, I wouldn't feel anything because I wouldn't do it. Buck: I get that, that's why I'm only asking for two.

[mattzerella-sticks]

Actually wait it's kinda crazy how Bobby and Athena were in blue and green for basically the entire episode. From their wedding fits to the outfits they changed into to track Chimney down - and when Buck and Eddie are given the option of changing out of their 80s costumes what colors do they choose?

Blue and Green.

[deluweil]

Unnatural to raise another man's kid?

Like Mr. Lee raised Chimney?

Like Bobby is basically raising Buck?

Like Buck is raising Christopher with Eddie?

I don't know, I mean, the Han and Buckley men weren't exactly keen on the job. Someone had to do it instead. 👀

Gotta admire the hypocrisy, though.

Patrick Nash and Hotel St. Marc

Why does this show keep doing this to me?! Stop making ship what is clearly not meant to be endgame!

William: Complains about about Eliza using his first name.

Patrick: Considers the whole botched affair a success because in the end she called him by his first name.

William: 90% of the time refuses Eliza’s offers of assistance.

Patrick: Attempts to claim Eliza as his partner to all and sundry.

William: Constantly reprimands Eliza as making messes of things, rarely acknowledging how his decisions contributed to the problem. 

Patrick: Blames himself when they both get caught.

William: Gets aggrieved each time Eliza tells him to do something.

Patrick: Tells her she is not in charge of him, but smiles fondly at her none the less. Suggests compromises that she can agree to. 

William: Is constantly getting his feelings hurt over Eliza manipulative tendencies.

Patrick: Loves playing the game with her. 

William: Forever of the “Wait here where it’s safe” attitude.

Patrick: Share pro tips so she is capable of solving future problems for herself (gun), (don’t call the local country police). 

Not to mention how Patrick listens to her, without resentment, even when he thinks he is right, and asks for her opinion. He’s got an ego and he certainly pokes at her, but he doesn’t truly think of himself as her superior.  

I don’t know, maybe I’m just holding onto resentment from William’s “Eventually you’ll find someone suitable and marry” and its cousin “surely you’ll want a family of your own some day.” I know the latter is wishful thinking on his part, because he loves Eliza and wants to marry her and have the domestic life of his dreams, but it still raises all my red flags. They don’t work as a couple unless one of them gives up a great deal. 

Eliza and Patrick on the other hand don’t have so far to go. Patrick needs to clean up his act a little, but he’s already made big steps. His confession to Eliza, his decision to free her, and not taking the bribe. Eliza needs to learn how to be a partner to someone and she’s already way closer to that with Nash. The give and take. Exchanging ideas, admitting the possibility of her fallibility, taking responsibility for her own mistakes.  

[t3rraria]

Eddie: what's that song every white person loves?

Hen: like I know

Chimney: ask bobby, he's white

Bobby: I may be white but have no clue

Buck, standing behind them: Mr brightside, dipshits

Found Family Thursday (3x09 - 3x12)

[mcnamara-ortega-and-jones]

Where Did Alisa’s Dad Go?

Mr. Ortega is in one scene in the first book. He is mentioned by Alisa one or two other times in the first book, and then NEVER TALKED ABOUT AGAIN. Like??? Avery gets his phone number???

Also- in the final gambit, does NO ONE think to inform him that his daughter’s been kidnapped? Alisa doesn’t canonically have siblings, but her dad is IN AVERY’S CONTACTS. You have time to threaten Mr. Laughlin that you’ll burn a maze down (how does she expect to find people without Alisa?) but you don’t have time for a quick call to a probably worried father?

Maybe Nash or someone told him, but I find it HIGHLY unrealistic that he wouldn’t come banging on the door to help get his daughter back.

In conclusion- justice for Alisa and her father.

Split Chapter 4

Split Chapter 4

Summary: Lucy Blair met FBI Agent Scott Hall one fateful day at her work. After hitting it off, pretty quickly, Lucy and Scott fell in love. But then Lucy meets Razor Ramon. Is Scott undercover? Or is something more at play, something that will drag her into a dangerous world of the war of drug lords in 1980's Florida?

Warnings: Language, violence, drug use, more to be added as the fic goes on

3 Months Later

After quickly hitting it off after their first date, Scott and Lucy became inseparable. Scott stopped staying at the office late into the night, sometimes even running out the door right at quitting time so he could make the 30-minute drive to Clearwater to see Lucy.

“Why don’t you two just move in already?” Kevin asked Scott as he worked on paperwork for evidence they had just gotten.

“I don’t want to rush it,” Scott shrugged, scribbling away at the papers.

“Oh come on. You two act like more of a married couple than Tamara and I. And we’ve been married for quite a while at this point.”

“Maybe I’ll bring it up when you and I get back from Virginia,” Scott clicked his pen.

“Not if I don’t bring it up tonight over dinner. Got the babysitter squared away and Tamara is excited.”

“Don’t you dare,” Scott stared down his best friend. Kevin chuckled and leaned back in his chair. “God, you are annoying!”

“Yep,” Kevin smirked before getting up. “I’ll see you tonight.”

****

Lucy had just finished getting ready when Scott arrived at her apartment. He walked in, smiling as he heard her singing a Bon Jovi song from the bathroom. He made his way towards her, smiling as he watched her dance in front of the mirror, the song playing on the little radio she kept in there so she had music while she showered. He had never seen someone as beautiful as her before. Every time he looked at her, especially in these moments when she was carefree and happy, made him fall for her a little bit more.

“Who needs to go to a concert when I have you?” He asked, crossing his arms and leaning against the doorframe. Lucy squeaked and jumped before turning around to glare at her boyfriend.

“I swear to god Scott, you have got to stop scaring me like that!”

“Where’s the fun in that?” He walked to her, smiling as he looked down at her. “You look beautiful.” He was satisfied when he saw her blush.

“You’re such a sweet talker,” Lucy stood on her tiptoes to place a quick kiss on his lips.

“Ready to go?”

“Yep!” She grabbed her bag. They made their way back out to Scott’s car. He opened the door for her, allowing her to safely get in the passenger seat. He drove to the restaurant, singing as he drove and earning giggles from Lucy. They pulled up at the restaurant just as Kevin and Tamara arrived. They got patio seats and put in their order.

“So, what do you do when Kevin’s gone?” Lucy asked Tamara as she sipped her drink.

“Basically what I do when he’s home. Clean, cook, take T over to his friend's house,” Tamara explained. “However, I’ve had more experience with this. I’ve been with Kev since he was in the military.”

“And it’s just a week,” Kevin shrugged. Tamara shot her husband a look. This was Lucy’s first time since dating Scott, that he wouldn’t be around for a week.

“You can always come hang out with T and me if you get bored,” Tamara told her, giving her a comforting smile.

“I might take you up on that,” Lucy felt Scott hold her hand under the table, giving her a gentle squeeze. She smiled at him, feeling so at ease as he held her hand.

Dinner passed quickly, and Kevin kept dropping hints about Lucy and Scott moving in together, getting side-eye looks from Scott. But, he thankfully didn’t come right out and say anything.

“Well, we’ve got to get home and pay the babysitter,” Kevin and Tamara stood by his Mustang. “We’ll have to do this again when Scott and I get back home.”

“That sounds great! I’d like that,” Lucy gave Tamara a hug before she and Scott headed to his Chevelle.

He drove the streets of Clearwater back to Lucy’s apartment, parking in the lot, but just sat in the driver's seat, looking forward.

“Scott? Are you ok?” Lucy asked, watching her boyfriend.

“Lucy, I’ve gotta tell you something,” His hands were trembling a little.

“What is it?”

“I…I love you Lucy,” Scott didn’t dare look at her. The last time he told a woman he loved her, she rejected him hard and left him. So he didn’t see the smile that spread on Lucy’s face.

“I love you too.”

That snapped Scott out of his funk, making him look over at her. Before he could do much else, she leaned forward and kissed him, helping to chase away his nerves. After a moment, she pulled back, smiling at him.

“Would you like to come in?” She asked.

“More than anything.”

****

“So, what are you up to tonight?” Janice asked as she leaned over Lucy’s desk, watching her input information into the computer.

“Probably just gonna go home, watch some TV, eat some ice cream.” Lucy shrugged.

“You and me are going out girl,” Janice patted the desk. “There’s this club down at St. Pete I’ve been dying to go to. And you know there’s no way Randy will let Liz go with me without him tagging along. And he’s not exactly a club guy.”

“I’m not big into the club scene either,” Lucy looked up at Janice.

“Oh come on. Scott would want you to go have fun instead of waiting at home like a sad little puppy,” Janice stared Lucy down, making her sigh.

“Okay. Fine. But I don’t want to be there super late. Carol thinks Kelly will be in tomorrow, but you know how reliable that girl is.”

“We are going to have so much fun! Maybe we can convince Randy to be our DD.”

“Oh, I bet he’ll love that…”

****

Lucy, Janice, Liz, and Randy walked into club, loud music playing, the smell of cigarettes drifting through the air. Randy led the girls to a table on the side, where a waitress quickly came over and got their drink order.

“It’s loud,” Liz commented. Lucy nodded in agreement.

“Not much of a club person,” She took the drink from the waitress.

“Neither am I,” Randy added, taking the beer that he had ordered.

“Well, I want to go dance. Come on!” Janice grabbed Lucy and dragged her to the dance floor. It took a couple of songs, but finally, Lucy was relaxing enough to get into it. Neither her nor Janice noticed golden brown eyes watching them.

****

Thick, jet-black ringlets of hair rested on created a mane for the bronzed man who was watching Janice and Lucy dance. Golden brown eyes watched their moves as he chewed on a toothpick. He had a five o’clock shadow accenting his strong jaw. He had a pink and purple shirt on, but unopened to show off his muscular chest. Gold chains rested around his neck, including one with a golden razor blade attached. To his sides were four other men, two on each side of the table. They all had their own drinks and were watching the crowd.

“Diesel, who’s that?” Razor Ramon asked the man to his right, with exactly dark hair and matching goatee. He slid down the sunglasses he was wearing to look at the two.

“Which one? The tall one or the short one?”

“Everyone’s short to you,” The guy across from him, who went by Rocket, laughed. Diesel shrugged and nodded.

“The short girl,” Razor explained.

“I dunno boss, but I can find out.”

“No need,” Razor drank the rest of his whiskey, somehow not losing his toothpick. “Kid, go distract the tall one.”

“Oh, I’m not very good at doing that,” The scrawnier of the group replied. He didn’t look like he was old enough to be in the night club, let alone trying to talk to a girl. If someone had just glanced, they would’ve thought he should’ve been at home working on his science project.

“Perfect chance to try,” Razor smirked. Kid took a deep breath and nodded. Luckily, Janice was easy enough to distract. Once he had her away from the others, Lucy headed to the bar to get another drink. Razor stood from the table and made his way to the bar.

“Add her drink to my tab,” He grumbled.

“Sure thing, Mr. Ramon,” The bartender nodded, knowing that Razor’s tab would never come due.

“Oh, thank you,” Lucy glanced at Razor before quickly doing a double take. “Scott?”

“Mmm, no,” Razor took her hand and kissed it. “My name is Razor Ramon.”

“Sorry, you just look like my boyfriend…”

“Lucky man. Where is he?”

“Oh, he’s out of town,” She said before she could stop herself, making Razor smirk.

“Well chica, if I were your boyfriend, I wouldn’t leave you out of my sight,” He watched her sip her drink.

“Is Razor your real name?”

“Depends. Are you a cop?”

“Far from it,” She laughed a little.

“Do you have a name?” Razor asked, dodging the question about his real name.

“Oh, I’m Lucy.”

“Well, Lucy, it’s great to meet you.” There was something about him, his aura was full of confidence, borderline smugness. He knew he was the most important person in the room, and people seemed to bow down and move out of his way as he walked around.

“So, uh, what do you do?” Lucy asked, not really sure what he wanted from her.

“Importing and exporting of… commodities,” Razor was sizing her up. He wanted to know if she was a threat. “What about you, Ms. I’m-not-a-cop.”

“I work at a doctor’s office.”

“Hmmm, guess I should get sick more often if doctor staff looks like you,” Razor all but purred. Lucy was starting to get hot and bothered. It had to be the alcohol going through her system.

“Hey boss,” the fourth from Razor’s table approached. He went by Mr. Perfect, and he sometimes considered himself the best out of the organization. “We’ve got visitors in the back.”

“Go get Kid. I’ll be there in a few,” Razor dismissed him before turning back to Lucy. “Too bad our meeting was so short, but I’ll see you again Lucy.” He kissed her hand again before whispering to her, “I bet you’d look great in purple.”

He was gone then, disappearing through the crowd. Lucy stood there for a moment, not sure what had just happened. Janice and Liz walked up to her then.

“Did you guys see that?” Lucy asked. “I swear that guy was Scott.”

“Oh girl, you’ve just got Scott on the brain,” Janice dismissed her claims.

“Yeah, maybe…” Lucy looked back at the way Razor had walked off. Maybe it was all in her head. She took her drink and blended back into the crowd on the floor with her friends, but the encounter lay in the back of her mind.
