That's two Inmates graduated under my belt now.

Everyone be sure to congratulate Shego.

"I don't think the Admiral gives a damn when it's your time. It was meant to be my time two years ago, remember? You cannot use the Barge as a safety net. It isn't one."

"Staying here would be doing just that."

She stalked closer to him, almost toe to toe. "Staying here a little while longer so you don't wind up dead is a heck of a lot better than getting stuck back here because you did wind up dead. Are you even gonna come back?"

"I don't know. I just need to go home. Even if it's just for another day and I end up taking another deal, I need a break from this boat."

She just stared at him for a long few seconds, then stepped back.

"Fine. Whatever. Your life."

Jim reached out to touch her shoulder lightly.

"I'll be fine. Promise."

She jerked her shoulder away from his touch and took another step away, lifting her hands. She wouldn't look at him.

"Just - just go."

"I'm going to head back in a couple days. I won't want to leave fighting with you."

"Sure, of course not. I guess it cuts into employee satisfaction if I'm mad at you, right?"

Jim just stared at her for that. "What? Are we back to that idea already?"

"Look, I get that you need to go home. I think it's stupid to go knowing what you do, but I get it. But you stayed when I didn't want you around, now I do, and you're telling me you might never come back? You need to tell me what other conclusions I should be drawing."

Jim was pretty sure that he was never going to stop misreading her, even if they weren't paired together anymore.

"It shows that we have shitty timing together. But you're never going to be just an employee or some hobby to me, Shego. I just can't make any promises about what things are going be like on Enterprise."

For a very, very long time she just looked like she wanted to hit him, and she was conscious that hitting him now would be much more satisfying than it would have been a few days ago because she would be able to throw him through a wall without breaking a sweat. Eventually, though, she relaxed marginally and nodded.

"Fine. Okay. I - fine."

"When you come visit, I'll give you a much better idea. Okay?"

She almost told him not to hold his breath waiting for her to show up, but swallowed the words at the last second.

"Okay."
