Psyche!

“Psyche!”

Lucy was going to kill John, she really, really was. So what if a helicopter or fighter jet couldn't kill him, Lucy was still going to burn John McClane to the fucking ground with a glare. Just you wait!

She was going to go over and give him a piece of her mind! Why you ask?

John McClane didn't go out to dinner... ever. And there he was, sitting in Cabaret's in a nice shirt and slacks! John never dressed up. He was always telling Lucy that if a woman didn't like him in his “ratty clothes” (Lucy's words) then what were they gonna do when they saw him in nothing but those “ratty clothes” day after day? Lucy saw through that though. John had never liked anyone enough to change; hell, he never liked anyone enough to try.

But here he was; in a nice restaurant, wearing a nice shirt and slacks, sitting across from a beautiful woman, and smiling and flirting with said woman, who was leaning forward and showing off her ample cleavage. Lucy was appalled!

Just yesterday, during their weekly lunch, John told her (with one of those small, secretive, and just- ever- so- slightly smug smiles on his face) that he was in love with the skinny, hyperactive hacker that had been inhabiting his apartment for the last year and a half and his bed for the last year. He had told her that he was in love and Happy. He told her that he couldn't wait to come home to Matt after shift, that he couldn't get enough of the hacker, and that all of Matt's annoying mannerisms were... *gasp* endearing.

While Lucy was slightly put off that his wife and kids were never reason enough to come home earlier than late, she was also determined to see her dad happy, damn it! And if Matt did it for him, then Lucy would try her best to not let John screw it up! Lucy refused to think she had failed. No, she was going to march over there and maker her father see sense.

Lucy steeled herself when she heard the woman let out a chiming laugh. But as she took a deep breath and rounded the corner, she barely had time to duck down behind a large potted plant. Matt came in laughing with a stunning brunette on his arm.

'What?!' Lucy's mind screamed at her. She knew that Matt loved her father-- if the soft, love filled looks and the way Matt just lite up every time John paid him some attention-- wasn't enough evidence there was the fact that Matt had blushingly confessed to Lucy that he was in love with her father, the month after the Firesale. He had been more embarrassed than she had been even though it was her that had come onto him rather strongy.

So, 'What the hell?!'

Oh, what the hell...

Lucy watched in astonishment as the brunette kissed Matt firmly on the mouth before she pulled back and sat down next to the blond that had been flirting with her father and then proceeded to pull said blond into a very heated kiss.

Matt's tender smile broke Lucy out of her rapt attention on the two necking women. She saw his amused and affectionate smile aimed at the two women as he sat down next to John, very closely next to John. Lucy saw Matt lean trustingly against the cop and look up at him with love very clear in his expression. She cheered inside as John wrapped an arm around Matt's shoulders and looked down into the younger man's face with a soft, loving smile that Lucy hadn't seen since she and Jack were kids. She saw her father's lips form the three words that made Matt grin as if he had just been given the world.

Lucy let out a whoop when she saw her father lean down and capture Matt's smiling lips in a tender, loving kiss. She didn't care that the tables and waitresses around her gave her dirty looks, but she did care that it was now obvious to both of them that they loved each other. And Lucy did care that finally, finally John got it right.
