Soldatessa

~~~I'm so sorry this one is so short and posted so late. My aunt is very sick and I went to see her today. The next one will be longer! Enjoy!!~~~

Scarlett woke up with fire in her eyes. She really needed today. She got up and put on a black, silk, one shoulder dress, which revealed her tattoo. As she walked past her closet, she noticed her red heels. She smirked and put them on.
          "Perfect." She said as she headed out the door.
It's amazing what a black dress can do for you. She walked down the cobblestone road with such confidence. Today she was untouchable.
John elbowed Arthur and they both looked up at Scarlett walking their way.
          "Oh...my..God." Arthur said slowly.
          "Fucking hell." John said quietly.
She walked over to the car and the truck. Tommy was sitting in the car just staring at her, but she didn't bat an eye at him. She smirked
          "Boys."
Arthur took her hand and kissed it then raised an eyebrow at her.
          "Where are you hiding your weapons?" He asked curiously.
Scarlett lifted up her dress to revel her thigh holster with a gun and a knife. Tommy saw her do that and got out of his car. He started his way over there until Grace walked out and called his name. John was shaking his head at Scarlett.
          "Marry me."
The group laughed and then Arthur nodded at Scarlett's hand.
          "Why so many?"
          "My dad has his brass knuckles and I have my rings."
          "Oh we are going to have fun today!" John said.
John had his hands on her waist and she was holding onto his shoulders as he lifted her to put her in the truck. Tommy stared as he opened the door for Grace.
          "Tommy is looking isn't he?" He asked her.
She nodded.
          "Good." He smirked and then jumped in.
Arthur gave this huge pump up speech that the men ate up...and honestly Scarlett did too. She liked that they saw her for what she was, but also respected her. They got there and were given instructions. Scarlett went off on her own, while Arthur and John went to the men's restroom to attack the main guy. A little while later Scarlett busted into the men's room with three huge bags filled with money in one hand and a guy by the ear in the other. She let the money drop and then threw the guy against the wall. Arthur and John looked up from beating their man and watched her put the guys hand on the sink as she held his arm.
          "Who's he?" Arthur asked.
          "A man with one less hand." She said as she shot him square in the hand and then cut one of his fingers off.
The man fell to the floor as the two brothers looked up and gave her a blank stare.
          "What? He grabbed my ass." She said as she dropped his finger on his body.
They smirked and shook their heads.
          "Come on. We have to get these to Tommy." Arthur said as they all picked up the bags. They made their way to the room with guards at everywhere. Tommy was supposed to be waiting for them, but they saw him dancing with Grace.
          "What the hell are we gonna do now?" John asked.
Scarlett dropped the bag in front of the boys and hit them with the back of her hand as she started to walk away.
          "I got this."
She walked up to the guard and started talking. At first it looked like he wasn't going to let her in, but then she turned it on. She put her hand on the back of his neck and rubbed her fingers.
           "Could you please let me in so I can find my sister? I would owe you." She said sweetly.
He blushed and finally let her in. Scarlett smiled and started to walk away.
           "Wait I didn't catch your name." He yelled.
           "Scarlett, Scarlett Capone." She yelled back.
Hie eyes went wide and then she disappeared. She opened the side door to let Arthur and John in. Scarlett watched Tommy lead Grace around the dance floor. Arthur watched and then elbowed her as he handed her a drink.
           "You might be my favorite Shelby." Scarlett joked.
           "Hey!" John said as he playfully pushed her.
She threw her arm around John.
           "Oh you know I love ya John." She said just as Tommy walked up.
           "You got it all?" He asked.
Arthur nodded as he dropped the bags at Tommy's feet. Tommy picked up the bags.
           "I heard you shot a man? I told you, no fucking guns." He glared at Scarlett.
           "Next time I'll just let him grope me." She said as she downed her drink and then patted his shoulder and walked out.
Tommy ran his hand through his hair and then looked at his brothers.
           "Go home. I have the rest handled." He said as he walked away.
John and Arthur gathered the boys, and Scarlett and then left. They walked into the Garrison and started drinking as they joined Polly. A few hours later, Tommy walked in without Grace. He walked and stood behind Scarlett as she talked to Arthur, Poll, and John.
            "Alright where's your gang symbol tattoo? I must know." Polly said.
Scarlett shook her head and took a napkin and a piece of ice from her drink and rubbed it over the back of her wrist. She held up her wrist, revealing the cursive five with a star that Liam and Lane had.
            "Are you guys happy?" She joked.
            "Why hide it?" John asked.
            "I never cared if people saw, but he..." She trailed off and they got the hint she didn't want to talk about it.
Arthur nodded.
            "Alright love, then what is that cursive writing on your collarbone then?"
            "It's soldier in Italian."
They all gave her a weird look.
            "It's what I've been my whole life. For the war, for my father. I guess...it's just who I am." She said quietly.
They all gave her a sad look.
            "Well, I think it's time for me to head home."
She turned around and ran straight into Tommy who overheard the whole conversation. He caught her by the waist and she had her hands on his chest.
            "Watch your step, soldier." He whispered.
