"Who were those people?"

Vanya asked as she kindly took a towel from Allison. Allison shrugged as she sat on the opposite side of Vanya. "I don't know. But we are lucky to be alive. Are you sure you're okay?" Allison asked worriedly to Vanya.

Vanya nodded wordlessly as she wiped her blood away from the side of her head. Vanya looked at you to see the corner of your lip bleeding. "Are you okay, (Y/n)?"

You snapped out of your own thoughts and looked at Vanya and Allison as the two women stared at you worriedly. You nodded as you sat down at a table. "Yeah. Never been better."

"You can fight." Allison pointed out. "How?"

'Oh, brilliant. Time to make a lie again.' You cleared your throat. "Dad taught me how to protect myself. He was a good man until he turned all shitty."

"She was actually pretty cool." Vanya smiled. "It was like Dad also trained her."

You looked around the house before shaking your head and wiping the blood off your lips.

You, Allison, and Vanya turned when Diego came back. He checked on Grace to see if she was okay. From him breathing shakily and heavily, he was probably too late. "Diego?" Vanya asked.

Diego stopped in his tracks to look at you and Allison and then turned to Vanya. "What are you still doing here?"

"I'm just trying to help."

"No, you could've been killed or gotten any of us killed."

"Diego." Allison scolded. Diego to Allison as he pointed to Vanya. "She is a liability."

"Hey," You spoke causing Diego and Allison to look at you. "She's trying her best, alright? She was pretty cool when she dodged that man's first hit."

Diego scoffed at you and turned away while Vanya looked at Allison, hoping for some defense from her own sister. "Allison?"

Allison looked down at Vanya before sighing. "I think what he's trying to say is that this kind of stuff is dangerous. You're just—"

"Not like you." Vanya finished the sentence for Allison. Seeing Allison was unable to defend her point, Vanya scoffed before standing up and turning to leave.

"No, that's not what I— Vanya, wait."

"Let her go. It's for the best." Diego said.

You softly scoffed before standing up to get out but Diego grabbed your arm. You instantly took his hand and twisted his arm causing him to wince. "Don't touch me, you twat."

You let go of his hand and Diego held his arm. "We're not done with you yet. How can you even fight?"

"Am I not allowed to protect myself?" You questioned. "Just because I could fight does not mean I'm a bad guy."
