"We'll get all that done back at the Unit." Sharp told her.

"But it'll be formality more than anything." he admitted.

"Frankly, I've learned all that really matters in this little meeting, alone." he then said further.

"Oh, and I'll make sure to keep this incident on the secret side." he went on with a small smirk.

"I doubt my girlfriend would like hearing of it." he reasoned.

"And Hollie Remmington is NOT one to anger." he chuckled.

Hal just shrugged.

"I guess I was just the right guy for her." he said.

"But seriously. I... don't know." he admitted.

"I came forth with how I felt, talked to her, and... it... worked." he went on.

"Guess she was just waiting for someone that fit into her life, I suppose." he said further, with a small shrug.

"Really, I could guess, pontificate on, and speculate until the heat death of the universe, and I'd be no closer to the real truth." he then admitted to her.

"And it'd be pointless anyway. I'm just grateful for who and what I have. Including her." he then finished.

Hal just chuckled.

"Maybe." he said.

"And we can talk over dinner." he told her.

-A few hours later-

Hal pulled into the parking garage of the Unit building, and looked at Roxie as he turned off the car.

"All right." he said.

"Let's get you settled in and officially working here." he told her.

"After all, you deserve at least a job, a place to stay, and food."

Hal sighed again.

"...yeah..." he mumbled. "We djinn tend to be... vengeful and ill-tempered." he admitted.

"I kind of am, but... I've learned to mellow out some." he went on, as they started to walk.

"But you're very talented." he told her. "Your skills with getting people under your influence are subtle, but effective." he complimented her.

"And it seems you're capable of a good, strong hold." he went on.

"I'm sure you'll prove useful to the Unit."

Hal just chuckled.

"Yeah, mess with Hollie's loved ones, and you're pretty much asking for death. Or worse." he agreed.

"And when I was freed, my eyes were opened to many things, and I've had a long time to learn, and try to improve on my shortcomings." he explained.

"I'm still not perfect, or even anywhere relatively in the general viewing vicinity of it, but I've been getting better." he went on.

"And you'll be the first succubus." he then told her.

"Generally speaking, succubi are out for themselves and ONLY themselves." he sighed. "Means they don't work well as part of a team."

Hal nodded in response.

"I can see why that would be an issue for you." he told her.

"However, as I said before, our R&D department is second to none." he said proudly.

"I'm sure they can give you something to help you forcefully keep your abilities and powers in check, and release them only when you want to." he explained.

"If that's something you're comfortable with, that is." he then added.

"Well, at the Unit, we look out for each other." Hal responded.

"We take care of our own, and we make sure they're cared for and happy." he said.

"Oftentimes, my employees are those with nowhere else to go. Shunned by the world. Shunned by other." he told her.

"But you'll discover that on your own." he said further, as they reached the front door, and Hal used his special access key to get inside.

"Welcome back, boss." Jake said from behind the paper.

"Hey, Jake." Hal replied.

"Who's the girl?" Jake then asked, Roxie hearing faint 'sst' sounds.

"......." Jake was silent for a moment, before lowering his paper and looking at her.

"I assume you're apologizing for this sudden fascination and infatuation I'm feeling for you?" he asked.

Hal just sighed.

"We're going to be working with her to make sure that doesn't happen." he said.

"....yep." Jake muttered.

"That's good." he said.

"Well, it shows why the boss has you here." Jake responded.

"He's good at spotting people's potential." he told her.

"Come on." Hal said.

"Jake's not normally this nice." he commented.

"Let's go before he starts proposing to you, and we all face Anya's wrath."

"Girlfriend." Hal told her.

"But they're very happy together." he said.

"Y-yeah." Jake replied.

"We are." he confirmed.

"Please... move along, now." he told them.

Hal just chuckled again.

"Come on to my office." he told her, before starting to walk.
