It had been two days now since Five had left and Cora was probably the only member of the family who wasn't overly worrying. They were gone for days a time when working at the Commission. They had their ways of knowing if something was wrong and Cora hadn't felt as if anything had happened. She knew Five could protect himself so she decided to put her mind to better use then worrying for her boyfriend.

Cora didn't love violence despite what others believed. She didn't like getting her hands bloody or hurting others. But for some reason that night at the bar she felt differently. Almost as if inflicting that paint wasn't so mean. Sure the men had it coming but she figured by now she would feel some guilt. The thing was Coraline never did.

She didn't know why. A part of her wanted to feel guilty. That guilt is what made her human. It's what gave her a conscience. Cora didn't get hurt badly but she did get a cut of her cheek from a beer bottle. It wasn't deep so she just let it be to heal. Sure she could have healed it but at the moment she had more important things to do. Cora went downstairs to find Luther.

"Hey"

"Hey, where were you last night?" Luther asked

"What? I'm not allowed to go out?"

"I just was worried about you is all."

"You do? Wow, I didn't think I would see the day where Luther Hargreaves cared about little old me."

Luther rolled his eyes at that and noticed the stitches in her left arm.

"What happened?"

"Nothing Luther, I'm a big girl I can handle myself."

"I know that. It's just I know with Five being gone you feel out of place here...what Allison said was over the line. I know we've had our problems in the past but you've proven time and time again that you are one of us."

Cora couldn't help but give a small smile at that. The two may not have gotten along most of the time but they had one thing in common. They both loved their family. Luther then noticed the cut on her cheek making him raise an eyebrow.

"What happened to your cheek?"

"It's just a cut, no big deal." She dismissed and before he could say anything Viktor walked down the stairs.

"Hey. You seen Allison?"

"What the hell happened? Why is everyone getting hurt?" Luther said seeing Viktor had a cut too.
