I repeat what I said about research in my last comment. *is seriously awed by newfound knowledge of Wolverine detection systems, flypaper, and Cheetah* I have to agree with Danny, this id definitely cool. ;-)
And Steve had deftly reinforced that idea tonight as both a leader and a teacher. Never barking orders or giving Torres shit for taking his time. Such compassion and competence is rare and it sends another tingle down Danny's spine. It sent tingles down my spine, too. *g* I loved how you showed Steve's qualities as a teacher and leader through his interactions with Torres. I loved Steve's patience with him despite the fact that he knew Stanton was breathing down his neck. (It also fondly reminded me of Steve teaching Kono how to be a sniper.) Poor Torres, but at least he got lucky in getting Steve as a temporary Team leader.
Speaking of OCs, I'm really beginning to like all the guys on the SEAL Team, though I'm trying hard not to, because I'm still not sure one of them won't turn out to be a killer in the end and I already know you're capable of completely surprising me with things like that. ;-)
Hunt seemed like a big kid when he was showing off that robot to Danny. I love getting to see those more "human" sides of the SEALs. Danny's thoughts about wanting to steal that thing for Grace made me smile. :)
And of course Steve was jealous. Heh. My heart broke a tiny little bit when Steve stepped back from Danny. It definitely was the wrong moment and bad timing, but it really makes me hurt for them. *wants to hug them both*
Which brings me to the getting-tied-up-and-having-to-free-yourself-from-the-knots scene and its aftermath. OMG!!! You completely killed me dead and broke my heart at least three times here. *wibbles* So many powerful emotions - that's the kind of scenes I never forget and keep replaying in my head over and over again. Suddenly Steve's whole body stiffens, his lips a pale thin line, and he starts pulling on the rope and Danny knows something is wrong immediately. Danny being unable to interfere and being forced to helplessly watch while he's the only one who realizes that Steve is suffering, that their little game has suddenly stopped being a game anymore... *wibbles* *dies* (The sound you're hearing right now is my heart breaking.) I really don't need to ask what exactly Steve is reliving there. *feels the strong urge to strangle Wo Fat* This is such an intense, painful moment (and it also once again shows how well Danny knows Steve). *shivers* I'm so much in love with the following scene in their quarters. Steve sitting there with his head in his hands, the way it almost killed Danny not to be able to reach out to him, then the "You're not a robot." , Steve's breath hitching, and, finally, the 'thanks, D'. *dies* *dies* *dies* I could feel how much Danny was aching to hold Steve, to give comfort somehow, and it made me ache so much, too. *dies some more* That scene was pure awesomeness and I also really loved that Danny refrained from doing anything, not matter how hard it was for him and how much he wanted to help, because he didn't have Steve's permission. That's what love is, right there. I understand Steve's withdrawal - I think he would have probably broken into a thousand tiny pieces if Danny had done anything else, and he couldn't afford that right then. Oh, Steve. *sigh*
I did enjoy Danny's turn in freeing himself from the knots, btw. It showed the trust between those two and I had fun learning about what the two of them are doing during stake-outs. *g* I loved that there were two different levels to the scene both when it was Danny's and when it was Steve's turn to free himself from the bonds - one outward part that was clearly visible to everyone in the room and one part that only Steve and Danny shared and were aware of.
