~ Wally's POV~
As soon as the video footage had loaded on my phone, I was already halfway into the building where Aria and her friends had gathered for their party. That Blake guy is totally dead once I get my hands on him! But once I stepped foot into the apartment room that the video was filmed from, I caught sight of Dick in his complete police uniform with some of his cop partners.
"Why am I always late to parties?" I complained, striding into the room and received several surprised looks. The first thing that I noticed in the room however, was Blake pinning my girlfriend down to the floor underneath him. That sight alone had my feet moving and my pulse in overdrive. I had Blake by the shoulders without a moments pause, and suddenly I had him pinned against the nearest wall.
"How dare you touch my girlfriend?! How dare you!" I snarled, jabbing him in the chest with an accusing index finger, "Listen, you little pervert, nobody ever touches her. NOBODY-"
"Wally- uh," Dick slowly approached me, his gaze narrowed at Blake and I, trying to decide whether he should physically intervene or not.
"Not now!! I'm dealing with this perfectly fine, see? I haven't beaten his face in... yet." I growled, glaring at Blake who simply smirked right back at me.
"Officer, make this creep let go of me!" Blake whimpered, trying to earn sympathy, but instead he only made me angrier.
"Creep?! You're calling me the creep?! You just tried to rape my girlfriend!!" That was the last straw, and one of my fists clocked him his the jaw before I could stop myself.
"WALLY, let him go! I've got this, okay? I've got this!" Dick is yanking me away from Blake now, and suddenly De is at my side, leading me over to Aria.

"Thank you, Officer Grayson! That guy was a madman!" The teenager that Wally had just assaulted was now on his feet again, and to make matters worse, he couldn't keep his fat mouth shut.
"Listen, kid, you should be worried about other things rather than that guy. You're in a whole world of trouble now," I growled, pulling out my handcuffs, "Now, face the wall." Blake's eyes widened in alarmed confusion, like a deer caught in headlights as I approached him with my handcuffs ready.
"What?! But I didn't even do anything!! That girl's my girlfriend and we fell!! I wouldn't rape my girlfriend; Aria, tell him, baby!" Blake wailed as I forced him to face the wall and handcuffed him.
"You have the right to remain silent, you're being arrested for an attempt of sexually assault," I growled as my handcuffs clicked.
"Fuck you," he snarled in protest, attempting to fight me as I effortlessly escorted him out of the apartment.
"You can't keep your mouth shut, can ya?" I chuckled dryly. One of my partners approached me and took charge of personally escorting Blake into one of the waiting squad cars, leaving me with nothing to do other than make sure that no other bystanders had been hurt in the incident. As I headed back toward the apartment room, Deanne met me in the doorway, a relieved expression on her pretty little face.
"Everything okay now, little lady?" I chuckled playfully, smirking at her as she blushed. She looked me up and down, biting her bottom lip slightly.
"Oh, definitely, Officer Grayson~ you were so brave!~" she replied as we headed over to where Aria and Wally were sitting on the couch in the main room.
"Just doing my job, cutie~" I told her teasingly with a wink.
"Well, maybe later we could try out some of those handcuffs, hmm, Officer Grayson?~" I laughed softly at that as De playfully kissed my cheek before we approached Aria.
~ Jared's POV ~
I arrived at the apartment that Aria's punk friends had invited her to just as a cop squad car was leaving. As I put my car in park, I could feel my pulse roaring in my ears. If something happened to Acacia, I swear, I'm going to strangle somebody. I thought furiously as I stormed up the apartment stairs to find a few officers lingering outside one of the rooms. They held clipboards and pens, each writing down information that a startled old Latino woman was giving them.
I curtly passed them only to be held up by one other officer, who looked extremely familiar. "Officer Grayson" is what his badge read on his right pec. He gave me a quick glance over before turning back to Aria, who was sitting beside Wally West and my girlfriend Acacia.
"Babe! Are you okay? I saw the video- god, you're bleeding..." I ran to her side as she smiled tiredly up at me, in the middle of nursing her cuts, "Don't ever go to parties like this without me. Especially if people are cutting you up. I want to be the person that defends you from shit like this," I sighed, pulling her gently into a hug before kissing her lips lovingly.
"I'm fine, Jared, it's just a few cuts," she giggled as I looked her over once more.
"Shh, as soon as we get home, I'm going to personally help you wash these cuts," I told her with a mischievous smirk, kissing her forehead.
