    Summary

    Ava pushes aside the crew, who are all strangely huddled around something on the starboard side of the ship. She commands, “You will be in charge of handling our latest catch.”

    “What the hell am I–”

    Simon's words die in his throat as Ava finally makes a path for them. Laying upon the deck with four harpoons pointing at him is a siren.

    Summary

    Grace's webbed hands press against the glass, his curious chitters surprising the young man standing next to the viewport he was observing from. He’s newer on the team, Grace jogs his memory for his name again.

    The young man holds his hand to his chest, breathing a sigh of relief, “Oh hey, Grace. Come to see your new neighbor?”

    He nods, chirping his burning question, “Who is it?”

    “Dunno,” Chris, right, that’s his name– “It’s another mer.”

    (Or, Rocky and Adrian are helped by a merman named Grace, and in turn they save him. Now happily living in the Erid Marine Rehabilitation & Research Center, Grace is surprised when another injured merman named Simon is brought to recover in a neighboring tank. Perhaps, these two lost souls may finally have a home, together.)

    Summary

    The beginning is loosely inspired by that time my 3rd degree black belt high school teacher broke up a fight during lunch.

    Grace may not have military training, or any sort of experience in hand to hand combat. But muscle memory kicks in when he’s forced to intervene during one of Simon’s more violent episodes and the convict threatens to hurt Rocky.
