Zero to WTF (FAST FURIOUS/TVD)

Chp 12

The scene opens with a familiar body leaning over the partially rebuilt engine of a 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX. Something that will move but not stand out as much. Amelia had spent the day inside the main garage doing work orders and now she has time to work on her car. Her progress is interrupted by two cars pulling into the main garage. She listens to Tej talk to the drivers, one of which she recognizes. Amelia shakes her head and goes back to work hoping to stay out of sight.

"Luck was not on my side," Amelia quietly commented but the supernaturals heard her.

It was now that Vince and Katherine rejoined the group. Letty noticed first, "Oh great. Just what we need." Everyone follows her line of sight. Dom stands, "You keep to your side and I won't rip your heart out." The crew has come to realize how toxic Vince always has been. The new vampire just shrugs without a care in the world while thinking of how good it'd feel to drain them all dry.

Amelia huffed when she couldn't find the tool she needed. She did not want to go into the main garage.

Roman laughs under his breath but then it becomes louder when he remembers when Amelia sees Brian again.

Tej, Suki, and Jimmy were talking to Brian and Roman about the trackers hardwired into the engines of the cars the FEDs gave them. Roman watched Amelia walk in, "Who's that?" Tej, Suki, and Jimmy all answered in sync, "Off limits!" Brian turned to the girl trying to use her hair to hide her face but alas, "Amelia?"

Brian wasn't thinking, because if he was he wouldn't have approached Amelia. Brian put a hand on her shoulder and turned her to face him, only to receive a right hook to the jaw. She hit him so hard, he saw stars and hit the floor.

Everyone but Brian was laughing.

Roman almost fell over laughing. He stood over Brian, "You got knocked the fuck out!"

The laughter became louder, even Brian is laughing at this point. He knew he deserved that.

Then he moved over to Amelia and put an arm around her shoulders, "You're my new best friend." Amelia shrugged him off as Brian shakily stood up. She began to yell at him, "Two years, Brian. Two years! I was held captive. I just barely escaped the bastard and now I see you here. Leave me the fuck alone, Brian," Amelia clenches her fist. Brian keeps his head down, nods, and walks back to Tej with Roman following. Amelia leaves back to the smaller garage and finishes working for the night.

Brian, of course, couldn't help himself, "How long has she been here?" Tej side-eyed Brian, "Why? You gonna take her in?" Brian knew he deserved that, "Nah, man." "Then don't worry about it," Tej pushed their attention back to the 'Hot' cars. Tej knew Amelia's story was not the whole truth. He knew she went through some messed up shit, but he was not going to bug her about it. Brian on the other hand wants to know exactly what happened.

Dom shook his head, "Once a cop, always a cop." Brian wouldn't admit it but he does still think like a cop sometimes. Most of the group stayed quiet, they too were curious and hoping Brian digs a little deeper into the time Amelia was held captive.

Damon leaned forward, bringing Nora forward with him, "Hey, Brian?" Once Damon had Brian's attention, "Is Verone still alive?" "He's in prison," Brian answered shortly. Roman scoffed, "Not for long. And he'll be gunning for the three of us." Damon's chest vibrated from the growl, "Not if I get to him first." Amelia doesn't say anything, she's not used to having someone care as much unless it's her mother.

The next day, Amelia is in the main garage when she sees Brian come back. She huffs, "What do you want, Brian? I told you to stay away from me." Brian leans against the car she's working on, "I know. But, I have to ask. What happened in those two years?" Amelia narrowed her eyes, "I'm not telling you a damn thing. Now, get off the car and let me go back to work." She pushed him over using a little magic to force him to move. Brian stumbles a bit before going to talk to Tej.
