Title: HBX Challenge April 2008 – I Knew That
Author: usmgrad
A/N – this could have been possible in the timeline of season 9 or 10 if there hadn't been the Singer baby and Paraguay story lines. Harm and Mac would have been dating and would have become “very” close.
A/N - assume co-workers tend to pick up on other co-workers hobbies, likes and dislikes and then reference them in the course of everyday conversation.
Coming into Mac’s office unannounced, Harm blurted out, “Mac, do I have deal written across my face?”
Slightly annoyed at being interrupted, Mac looked up from her desk, gave Harm the once over, pausing at certain areas of his form that were not his face.
Rolling his eyes, “On my face Mac.”
Her cheeks blushed at being caught in the office, not thinking about work.
“Oh.”
She checked his face; then turned her attention back to her work as she replied, “No.”
Harm plopped himself uninvited into one of her chairs, “Bud knew exactly what I was thinking when I entered his office.”
Not looking up from her work, “That’s something isn’t it.”
Harm, definitely upset, continued his rant. “Mac, you don’t see this as a problem?”
Looking up again, wishing he would go away for 5 minutes so she could finish what she was working on, “Now that you mention it . . . no.”
Harm was beside himself now, didn’t she see how this was a serious problem, “Mac, you don’t think it’s a problem for a lawyer when other lawyers can tell what their thinking?”
Realizing he wasn’t going away, she tried to put this perceived problem in perspective, “Not at all, as a matter of fact have you noticed we’re beginning to think a lot alike?”
“Oh great you and I think alike, Bud can read my mind, anyone else I should be worried about?” Harm saw his career as a lawyer quickly coming to an end.
Smiling that certain smile she had when she was teasing him, “Not that I can think of but I’m sure you’ll know as soon as I know.”
Recognizing the smile, Harm realized his girlfriend was teasing him so he relaxed in the chair and decided to play along, “Ha, ha, how do you account for that?”
“Between you and me, I think it has something to do with spending too much time together, possible that L word has something to do with it. Between you and Bud, er . . . a rip in the time/space continuum.”
Starting to get up from her chair, “Maybe I should go let Bud know, he might have some thoughts about it.”
Not knowing if she was serious or still teasing, Harm panicked, “God no don’t do that I’ll never live it down if he thought I thought . . .”
Mac just looked at him, eyebrows raised, the smile was back.
Reluctantly he surrendered, “Never mind. That’s your only explanation? No other thoughts as to why all of the sudden Bud can read my mind?”
“Well, it could be that mind meld Bud and I did earlier this morning. It could have transferred some of my psychic abilities to him.”
Knowing he had been royally had, Harm decided he had better leave before she told him to live long and prosper, “I think I’ll be going to my office now.”
Her attention finally back to her work, Mac replied as he walked out the door, “I knew you were going to say that.”
For those non-trekkies:
Mind meld - a Vulcan procedure that involves physical contact (usually hand to head) with a subject, making it possible to share thoughts, experiences, memories, and knowledge with another individual
Live long and prosper – a Vulcan
