Dan rushes me inside as Arin dials 911 on his cell. "Hey," he taps my shoulder. "What was that guy's adress?" I tell him the address I remember and he continues telling the operator about how I was captured and imprisoned by him. Dan sets me on the ground as Suzy rushes to me with a First-Aid kit in her hand. She sits me down on the couch as she looks me over. "Did he whip you or something? What are all these cuts?" I laugh embarrassingly at the thought of what I did was sort of over dramatic. "I kinda smashed through his window and that's how I got out..." She looks at me with amazement along with Barry and Ross who overheard. "You jumped through a fucking window and you still kept running?" Ross asks. I slowly nod my head as Suzy starts to clean and rap them in bandages. "Dude, that's fucking bad-ass!" He sounds like a little boy. I blush at his words.

Arin comes over to me after he talked with the police. "Hey, the police are on their way to arrest him. You shouldn't have to worry about him anymore." He smiles kindly at me and I just can't help but give him a hug. "Hey," I perk up after Suzy is done fixing me up. "Where'd Dan go?" Everyone looks around and Arin shrugs. "I saw him go out the front." Barry points to the front door. So I go off on an adventure to find Dan. 

As I walk down the street, I can faintly see a figure running towards Ash's house. It can't be Ash, he ran far earlier and shouldn't be at that point. I run to try and catch up, but my leg hurts badly from the window. I limp as fast as I can to Ash's as the figure jumps through the broken window. When I finally make it, I can hear crashing. Fighting crashing. I jump through and try to find him as fast as I can. I don't want to stay in here too much longer. I make my way to the basement where the fighting sounds are loudest. I then see Ash pinned on the floor by Dan as he punched him in the face multiple times. Dan then whips his around to see me, "(Y/N)?! What the fuck are doing here! Get out!" Ash then pushes him off and shoves him into the wall. Dan tries to struggle out of his grip, but he can't. Oh I've been wanting to do this! I run up behind him and, with my anger strength, pull him away from Dan. He gasps for air as he collapses on the ground in relief. I kick Ash in the stomach and send him flying into the wall opposite us. Then I give him the uppercut of a lifetime. "SUCK MY FUCKING UPPERCUT!!"

Dan's P.O.V

I hear (Y/N) yell, scream more like it, "SUCK MY FUCKING UPPERCUT!!" followed by a loud crack. I look up to see her beating the shit out of him, while somewhat psychotically laughing at his pain. Right then, she was a completely different person. Normally she's sweet and very gentle, but now she's a beast. Like, Mr. Sandman beast. You'd think I'd help, but I'd rather sit and watch this awesome display of how tough (Y/N) really is when she's angry. Hey, she's kinda like the She Hulk! After a few minutes of beating the shit out of Ash, I pull (Y/N) aside and we wait for the police together while Ash is lying on the floor, out cold. 

"Sorry you had to see that..." (Y/N) breaks the silence. I chuckle at her words, "Don't be. You were awesome. I've never seen anyone so sweet become so tough like that." I snap my fingers when I say the word that. "Heh. Well, you've seen what happens when my sweetness gets taken advantage of. Sometimes I think I'm too sweet." She looked down at the ground. I put my arm around her and enveloped her in a hug. "It's okay," I mumble to her. "You don't have to worry about him any more." She then accepts the hug and we cuddle on the concrete floor of the basement.

Then I hear police sirens. So I sadly break the hug up and we go upstairs to talk to the police. (Y/N) tells them what he did to her and we all go down to the basement where...

"Where is he? Are you pranking us?" We start swearing up and down that he was here, then (Y/N) notices that the window is open. "He escaped..." she trails off. I look down at her to see her tearing up. I grab her and start to comfort her. The police talk to each other and tell us that they'll search the neighborhood for him. We thank them and head out the door and back to the Grump space. When we get back, we're swarmed by everyone asking what happened and is they caught Ash. I wave them off and take (Y/N) to talk with her in private. "Hey," I begin. "I know you're scared, so I thought that maybe you could stay at my place until Ash is caught. I'm sure Barry won't mind. Plus, I'd be able to bring you with me to work. How 'bout it?" She thinks for a few moments and I worry about if she says no. Then she looks me in the eyes with her awesome smile and nods. We both break into smiles and hug each other. 

I walk back with her and I ask Barry if it's okay with him, and then I ask (F/N) if it's okay with her. "Well," she starts. "I am at work a lot. and the only day I have off is Sunday, so I'm okay with it. As long as (Y/N) is safe, I'm fine." "So it's official. (Y/N), you can stay with us as long as you need to." Barry smiles and they hug. "First, we need to drive to your place to get your stuff. I can help you pack if you want." She shakes her head, "No. You're already letting me stay with you." I nod as I lead her to my car. We both hop in and I head in the direction of her apartment building.

(Y/N) P.O.V

I can't believe what just happened. First I was held captive by some perverted psycho, then Dan cheered me on as I beat the shit out of him, then we cuddled, then he escaped, and now I'm on my way to my apartment to get my things so I can stay with Dan for a while. It's like I'm living in a story, an awesome story. When we pull up to a stoplight, he looks in his glove compartment for something. "A-ha! Here it is!" He pulls out a black album cover. Since the back was facing me, I could only see the track list. But it was so small, I couldn't read it without my glasses. Yeah, I wear glasses, I'm a geek, blah blah blah. Anyway, he looks at me, "Are you alright if we listen to Starbomb on the way?" He has it in his car too? Well, I don't exactly have one, but if I did, that would be included in my collection. I nod and he pops it into the cd player. 

We jam all the way till we get to my building's parking lot. "Hey," Dan breaks the silence of me unlocking as well as opening the door. "You have an awesome voice." I blush slightly at this, but I hope he didn't notice. I giggle as I sort of stutter, "R-Really?" "Totally."

Dan waits in the living room as I pack a backpack and a small roll-around suitcase. After I'm done, we head out the door and to Dan's place. Again, we jam out to Starbomb, and my favorite song comes on. I immediately start to sing Dan's parts.

Bonjour! Hello!
My name is Glass Joe
I'm ze toughest French boxer zat you're ever gonna know
I'll score a TKO then drink a fine Bordeaux
And flatten all my opponents like croissant dough
I fight next week for ze champion belt
Mr. Sandman is tough, and I might need a little help
So I hired Doc, he once trained an elf
Named Little Mac so now, I believe in myself!

We sang our hearts out(ALERT: corny-ness) as we pulled into the driveway. I got my stuff out of the trunk as Dan unlocked the door. I brought in my stuff and set it on the floor in the living room, not really knowing where I'd be sleeping. "Yeah. We don't exactly have a guest room here since that's where Barry sleeps. You can sleep in my room if it's not too awkward." "Sure. That's fine. I don't mind." "Great!" 

He motioned for me to follow him and he lead me to his room. It was soo much bigger on the inside. I set my things down as he told me that he could sleep on the floor. "I'll sleep on the floor. I love the floor." He looked at me confused and objected that, because I'm the guest, I have to sleep in the bed. We went back and forth for a few minutes until I broke the chain. "I'm mostly German, so I am very stubborn." Dan sighed in defeat and I set up my little floor bed. I took my pajamas out of my bag and went to the bathroom to get changed, brush my teeth, and pee. After my before bed ritual was complete, I walked in to see Dan asleep. To be honest, he' pretty cute when he sleeps. I take out my phone and take a picture of him. "Nice." I mumble. I then get all cozy under my covers and fall fast asleep.
