Scarlett's P.O.V.

"Everything happens for a reason." That is what my mom always told me anytime I had something bad happen to me. I always understood it at a lower level, but now I understand it completely. I went through what I did with Peter to get to someone like Harry. He was now the bright spot in my life. I lost my mom just to loose myself and find my way back. I am over three hundred years old and I haven't lost myself until now. Which wasn't hard because society gets more corrupt each year that goes by, but I never thought I would've fallen the way I did. I would thought it would've been like the way brother had fallen. He fell through having sex with someone he loved before they were married, which was like Heaven compared to how I fell. I would've died a thousands times over to fall anywhere near that scenario. Then again nothing ever turns out as planned so I always wonder what is going to tear Harry and I apart. He'd been shot because of me and he is still with me so he's worth fighting for. But the question am I worth fighting for?

"Scarlett!" Kate yelled my name to get me to focus on her.

"Huh, sorry, I got lost in my thoughts." I replied turning my attention back to Kate who was sitting across the table from me at Starbucks.

"Obviously, should I be worried?" She asked with an eyebrow raised.

"No, I was just thinking about meeting an old friend soon. That's all." I said before taking a sip from my burning coffee.

"Okay, well did you hear what I said about going to Michigan?" She asked and I widened my eyes at her mention of New York.

"No, why are you going to Michigan?" I asked curiously.

"Not me, we. I want to go to Michigan for the fourth. Maybe we could bring the boys. I mean they aren't on tour or anything so you know a little getaway?"

"I guess, that would be nice. We've just got to ask the boys if they would like to go." I smiled at the idea of being with Harry for a week in the middle of no where.

"Alright, so we should ask them when we get to your place later." She nodded her head and then took a sip of her coffee in front of her.

"Yeah. I'll just meet you at my house because the Chief wanted to talk to me." I said leaning back in my chair. The Chief of LA police was probably the scariest person ever if you asked my friends, but to me he was a pain in the ass cousin.

"Okay. Well, I guess I better get going. I'll see you later." Katie gave me a small hug before walking out the door.

I looked around the cafe I just walked into seeing if Mikey made it here before I did. Apparently, I was here first because he was no where in sight. I shrugged it off and sat down at a table. I sipped on the lemonade that I had ordered before sitting. My eyes directed toward the ringing of the bell that hung above the door. Mikey stood in front of the door while taking his aviators off. He gently slid them onto the neckline of his shirt. He looked around casually until his eyes locked on me. He made a small smile before walking towards the table I was at. I stood up when he was closer and smiled. He wrapped his strong arms around my small frame and my arms went around his neck. I breathed in his familiar scent of mint and jade. He pulled back a a little bit and smiled down at me.

"It's been a while, Firefly." The enormous grin on his face was contagious and led me to smiling myself.

"Too long, Chief, way too long." I pulled away and sat down at the small table.

"I've seen you all over the tabloids. Harry Styles' new girl, are ya?" He smirked after he was finished speaking.

"I am, but don't get too jealous Mikey." I smirked back.

"Alright, so let's get down to business. What happened for you to call me out of the blue?" Mikey asked getting straight to the point.

"He's back, Mike, and he came after me. Harry got caught in the crossfire, too, and I don't want that to happen again. That's why I called you. I figured if Peter's still wanted, our team can get him." I replied in a hushed tone of voice.

"You want to get the team back together? Have you talked to your father about this? And what about the fact that you're the balance now? Your life is of great importance now." His voice was serious.

"How the hell did you find out about that?" I was in utter shock that Mikey knew about what I am.

"I am, or was, your protector. Your father hired me to protect you when your mother got sick. He figured she'd been poisoned and didn't want you to get hurt. That's besides the point. How are we going to get the team back together?" He changed the subject, which was probably for the best because I would, otherwise, be pissed he never told me.

"I don't know, but we need to do it soon. Peter is planning something I can feel it." I said still whispering.

"Alright, I can handle the guys. Are you sure you want to do this, though? It's dangerous in almost every way possible. We are attempting to take down one of the most ruthless criminals in the world, Scar." His brilliant blue-green eyes locked with my blazing grey-amber ones.

"I'm absolutely sure. I want him dead Mikey. It's his fault James is dead and my mother too. He was the reason I fell. I need to do this." Our eyes were still locked and we sat in silence for a moment before Mikey looked away.

"Okay, Firefly. Let's do this. Fight as a team.."

"And die as a family." I finished for him and we both smiled. It was going to end. This battle I am fighting with my past will end. I will win because in the end when you fight for what you love, you will conquer all.
