Having Scar back in my arms is all I wanted. Spending last night bringing her to the edge and watching her trying her best not to scream out my name because she was scared her brother would hear, then her begging me that she couldn't take anymore but doing it anyway. Needless to say when I woke up this morning she was still passed out on my chest. I lay and watched her sleep for a while before climbing out of bed without disturbing her and getting dressed
"Morning, Coffee's ready." Mike says pointing to the coffee machine with his mug. I walk over and pour myself a cup before moving to sit at the table, Mike sitting opposite me.
"All due respect I know I haven't been around for a while but you know as Scarlett's big brother I have to warn you that my kill count is higher than yours will ever be and if you hurt her I will add to it." Mike says casually before taking a sip of his coffee and I smirk
"All due respect I'm in love with your sister and plan to protect her for the rest of my life, or as long as her stubborn ass will let me." I reply and he laughs
"She's been a stubborn ass as long as I can remember, even back when she was in diapers and our mom tried to stop her being out in the garage with me and dad, she always won." Mike laughs
"And if she's got it in her head she's gonna do something you'll never stop her. Like when she was 12 and we just finished fixing up a '67 Camaro and she missed the first drive because she was at school. She stole the damn thing and my dad chased her down the highway on his Harley, man I laughed for weeks." Mike laughs and I see the love for his sister written on his face
"Please tell me you aren't filling his head with embarrassing stories about me." Scarlett says standing in the doorway in black ripped jeans, a Led Zeppelin shirt and barefoot
"Now if it's embarrassing stories you want we could talk about what you used to steal from me huh?" Mike questions and I see Scarlett blush before she looks down and goes in search of coffee before sitting down beside me
"So, in the interest of not talking about me, it's morning so are you going to tell me how you're not dead?" Scarlett asks
"You mind giving us a minute?" Mike asks and I nod
"No no. You were gone, Jessica died, Alec hurt me, then mom died. I kept myself alive, barely, until I met Caleb. He's done more for me than anyone else, he's protected me and loved me. He stays." Scar says and I smile
"Fine. Well, I was on tour in Afghan, that part was true, but the Chopper crash, it didn't happen. I got an offer to go undercover and infiltrate an extremist group. It meant big things for my career so I took it, I didn't know they were going to tell you I was missing presumed dead. I wrote you a letter saying I had extended my tour but they wouldn't send it. If I knew how bad things were at home I wouldn't have done it, honestly." Mike says taking Scarlett's hand in his across the table
"How bad? How bad? Mom and Jess were running out of veins they were injecting that much shit and Alec was full on stalking me but Mom insisted I play nice so he kept footing the bill for the drugs." Scarlett replies pulling her hand from Mikes grip.
"And I'll never forgive myself for leaving you with that mess, after dad died I promised I would take care of his three girls and I failed all three of you." Mike replies leaning back in his chair and looking at the ground
"Look, I'm alive, which is a bonus in our family now and what happened has made me who I am, I enjoyed traveling the country on my motorcycle. Ok the getting beaten, shot and stabbed kinda sucked, but I enjoyed it. I'm going to kill Alec and then I'm going home and I plan on staying home for good." Scarlett says and I wonder where she's calling home, it better be with me or I'll kidnap her ass.
"The house isn't safe, but you can stay here with me until we figure something out." Mike replies and I fight the urge to assure him she's staying with me
"Mike, my home isn't Brooklyn anymore. Once Alec is dead I'm going home with Knuckles to North Carolina, that's where I want to be and that is my home now." Scarlett replies and I smile before taking her hand in mine
"Come with me, there's nothing to keep either of us here anymore, come with me to North Carolina." Scar says
"My job is here Scarlett, I'm still enlisted, I pulled every favor I have to get to Alec, I can't just drop it and leave. I'm your brother, we're the only family we have left, stay here with me." Mike pleads and I feel my fists curl
"Sorry Mike, but I have a new family now and it's in North Carolina, you're welcome to visit. Now if you'll excuse me I have a Russian asshole to kill before I hit the road." Scarlett says firmly and stands from the table before walking off towards the bedroom. I get up and follow and find her putting on black knee high boots
"Mike thinks he can kiss my ass by bringing clothes from our house, giving me a bedroom, where was he when everyone died and Alec raped me, he's lucky I didn't have my knife or his hand would be stuck to the fucking table." Scarlett rants as she fastens the boots and stands
"Hey, calm down he just wants to protect his little sister, surely you get that." I say as I pull her against me, one arm around her waist and stroking her hair with my free hand
"I do, but he was gone, I learned to take care of myself and now he thinks he can just show back up and tell me what to do again, no fucking way, I want to be with you, I love you." She says looking up at me, I lean down and our lips meet
"I love you too." I say as she steps back and picks up her gun from the bed
"Let's kill this mother fucker." She growls as she tucks the gun into her jeans.
