Jr Rev Squad - ONE SHOTS

I Think I Found It

JRS CANON

A month and a half passed by since the Lafayettes arrived in America and Georges has been adapting pretty well to the new culture. They have found a pretty house not far from the Hamilton's, about two blocks or so away. It was a great house, but Gilbert felt like it was so empty.

He went Downtown to buy some food and was almost home, holding the paper bag with one hand as the other stood inside his coat pocket due to the cold winter and was about to turn a corner when someone bumps full speed into him and he falls backward, making all his supplies spread in the sidewalk.

"OH! I-I-I am so sorry sir, are you alright?!" The woman who ran into him shouts with widened eyes and reach for his arm to help him stand as she looks over her shoulder quickly.

Lafayette loses a heartbeat once he realizes it was miss Maria Reynolds. For a second he even thinks to not turn it into a big deal and keep walking like nothing happened but he couldn't hide his worry once he realized she was crying and seemed extremely shaken, she was also panting like she was running from something and had bruises all over her arms and face.

"It's o-"

"HERE YOU ARE!" A big man with a hat suddenly shouts from behind Maria, which makes her jump. He grabs her wrist and pulls her back before clutch her neck and press her against the wall.

"WHY DID YOU RUN FROM ME, SLUT?! AND WHERE IS THE GIRL?!"

"J-J-James I-I-I-I-" Maria stammered some words as her eyes were completely filled by terror as she holds his hands, trying to release her neck as he squeezed it tighter.

"STOP STUTTERING! YOU KNOW I HATE WHEN YOU DO IT!" He yells back at her and when she was almost out of air he loses her neck and grabs her wrist again, pulling her away as she gasped for air "You will see what I'll do to you when we get back home!" He hisses and Maria glances helplessly at Lafayette before James drags her over the corner.

Gilbert then was filled by courage and ran after them. He got in front of Maria and pushed James' as he holds her shoulder, so she couldn't be pulled by him when he staggered forward.

"STAY AWAY FROM THE LADY!" Lafayette shouts with anger as he protectively stands in front of Maria as she stares at him with wide eyes.

"WHAT THE HELL?! Ok, you're French so probably don't know how things work here" James hisses close to Lafayette's face but he doesn't move an inch even after James yells at all lungs "THIS WHORE IS MY WIFE! Which means I can do whatever I want with her and she has to obey!"

"Monsieur, I'll warn you one last time" Lafayette says threateningly and crosses his arms "Leave the lady alone" He emphasizes each of his words.

James smirks, finding it funny, and then spits in Lafayette's face "Or what, Frenchie?" He growls as Laff wipes the spittle off his face calmly and Maria was petrified as she thinks how James would totally break the guy in half and what will happen to her once they get back to their house after this encounter with the Frenchman, James would for sure discount it all on her.

Not that she knew it, but we are talking about a retired decorated war general revolted with life, so Lafayette didn't think twice before punching James under his chin with all his strength, disorienting him for a few seconds and giving Lafayette the advantage he needed over his opponent's size.

James tries to hit a punch back into the Frenchman's face but he dodges and hit James' stomach and then his face right after. James was now filled with anger and jumped over Lafayette, punching him non-stop.

"JAMES STOP! STOP! STOP, PLEASE!" Maria yells as she tries to pull James' shoulder and more tears fall. He turned irritated towards her and to shut her he hits her in the face, giving Laff enough time to punch James again and pushes him away, now being on top of him.
