"Well, there's an ass I know."

Sebastion almost fell out of his seat behind the counter, not because of what was said but because he hadn't heard anyone come in the front door.  Weren't those bells supposed to ring whenever someone walked in?  The medic looked up to see a woman standing in front of the counter, her long black hair that was half tied up and the other half hanging loosely around her shoulders.  The dark hair was accented with fire engine red highlights, which seemed to complement her soft brown eyes.  And if her hair didn't make her look like a punk rocker already, her outfit certainly did.  She had on a black AC/DC shirt that seemed to fit her like a glove, and a wallet chain that hung from her torn dark jeans that were held up with a studded belt.  It took Sebastion several moments after taking in the customer (?) to realize what she had said to him.  "I'm sorry, what?"

She looked back at him with a grin on her black painted lips, her lip ring glinting as she did so.  "I said 'Well, there's an ass I know."  She pointed into the garage area.  "That's Gabriel Ironhide, isn't it?"

Ratchet looked and saw that it was, in fact, Ironhide's ass she was referring to.  He looked back at the woman with a glare that could melt metal.  Normally he would have been surprised/amused that someone could identify a person just by looking at their ass, but since it was he's boyfriends ass that was being referred to he didn't find it the least bit amusing.

The woman blinked and tilted her head in question at the reaction.  Then realization lit her eyes as she smiled and leaned forward over the counter.  "Oh my god, you must be Sebastion!"

He had to lean back a little bit at the woman's eagerness, surprise registering on his face.  "Umm….yes, I am."  Just who was this woman?

"Ah sorry."  She gave him an apologetic smile and backed away a bit.  "I'm Jessica, Gabriel's ex-wife……well one of them anyways. Heh."

Sebastion frowned at this, trying to remember if this was the wife that Gabe had warned him about.

Jessica's smile widened at the frown.  "I'm the good one, I promise."

That really didn't make Sebastion any less tense.  "How did you know who I am."

"Gabe told me a bit about you, I put that and you're jealous boyfriend glare together to figure out who you were."  She said coolly.  Jessica leaned forward on the counter with an elbow, resting her chin in her hand.  "Of course he did mention you were handsome, but I think that was a bit of an understatement.  You're completely gorgeous."

Sebastion blushed, his cheeks going bright red.  He opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted before he could so much utter on word.

"You better watch it there Jess, otherwise Gabe will rip you a new one.  Ex-wife or not."  Prime said as he stepped through the doorway leading to the garage.  He had an amused grin plastered on his face.

"That's what makes it so much fun though!"  Jessica giggled, making her look and sound younger then she really was.  She walked up to the dark haired man and pulled him into a big hug.  "It's good to see you, Eric."

"It's good to see you too, Jess." He smiled and returned the hug.  "What brings you to the shop, something happen to that clunker of yours, again?"

She pouts and punches him in the arm.  "It's not a clunker, you big lug.  And I'm here to check up on the muscle head to see how he's doing."

Eric chuckled.  "I suggest asking Sebastion about that."

"I was going to when you interrupted."  Jessica stuck her tongue out at him before looking over at the only blonde in the room.

Sebastion relaxed as he watched to two interact.  Apparently this wasn't the bitch ex-wife that Gabe had warned him about.  "He's doing well."  He said. "But….ummm, why is it that you know about me, when I almost know nothing about you?"

"He didn't tell you anything about me?  That ass!" Jessica pouted.  Letting out a sigh she leaned against the counter.  "I don't know what he's told you already, but during our marriage he went through a lot of shit that caused him to become extremely depressed.  It killed me that I couldn't help him the way I wanted to.  I did love him, still do actually, but it was a love for a friend and not one for a lover.  He realized that too, which is why I think he was the one who suggested the divorce.  I was against it at first; I didn't want to leave him alone, but he ended up convincing me that he would be fine.  In any event, we kept in contact with each other after the divorce, more so from my pestering than anything else. Heheh.  I could tell he was still depressed, and was about to have him move back in with me when he met this guy over here."  She grinned over at Eric.  "After that I could hear it in his voice when we talked on the phone, he finally found something to make him happy again.  Then you came along.  It was like he found something that he had been missing for a very long time."  She smiled softly when she thought back to the first talk she had with Gabe after he meet Sebastion.  "You're almost all he ever talks about when we do talk.   I could tell without even seeing you two together.  He's completely in love with you."

By the time Jessica I had finished talking Sebastion was pretty sure all the blood in his body was in the blood vessels on his face.  He didn't think he could get any redder.  "I-I see."  He looked into the garage where Gabriel was still working on a car.  "I'm surprised that he didn't mention you before to me, since you seem to be such good friends.  I mean, he had said he had two wives before, but he only talked about the first one in the most detail."

"And that's what pisses me off!  The bastard!"  Jessica crossed her arms over her ample chest, growling.  She then pointed at the former field medic.  "You and I will have lunch one of these days to get to know each other.  Then I can tell you about all of Gabe's dirty little secrets."

Sebastion grinned; he was starting to like this girl.  "Oh, defiantly.  I wouldn't want to miss out on dirty little secrets."

Eric just chuckled leaning against the door frame, shaking his head.  Gabe was in defiant trouble when those two finally collaborated together, and he almost felt sorry for the older man because of it.  Almost.
