Title: Kid Gloves 62/100 TtH Prompt: #82 Gloves Summary: Buffy isn’t exactly happy. Kid Gloves People dodged out of Buffy’s way as she stormed through the SGC. The dark look on her face did not bode well for whoever it was intended for. She stepped into an office and slammed the door. “This is getting ridiculous!” She cried. General Landry looked up from the report he was reading. “What is?” “Dr. Lam cleared me for active duty a week ago.” “I know that.” “Then why am I just sitting around twiddling my fingers? I asked to be signed on here so I could fight. I’m not doing any fighting.” “Colonel Mitchell wanted to make sure…” Landry began, but was cut off by Buffy’s strangled scream. “I’m fine. I wish everyone would stop handling me with kid gloves. I’m not going to break! Argh!” His lips twisted in a wry grin. “I was going to say that Colonel Mitchell wanted to test to see if the bond between Vala and Dr. Jackson had been broken. He wanted one less thing to worry about.” “Oh,” she said, a little sheepishly after a moment. “Surely you had noticed how much time Dr. Jackson had spent off-base this week?” Buffy took a sudden interest in her hands. “Well, yeah. But I thought… nevermind. So we have a mission soon?” She asked hopefully. “Briefing tomorrow at O-nine hundred.” “Great. Ummm… I’ll just…” She gestured to the closed door as she backed up. “Umm, sorry.” “It’s quite all right, just don’t let it happen again,” he said with a twinkle in his eye as he watching her slip out of the door. He was thankful that Mitchell had come up with a backup excuse in case Buffy had asked. Mitchell had wanted to give Buffy a chance to catch her breath before they went out again. Honestly, Landry was surprised that she had held her tongue for as long as she had. With a satisfied smile on his face, he returned to reading the report.
