I watched Valkyrie sleep as the movie continued, i whispered to her again reminding her she was safe as she shook with fear. She seemed to calm down. It made me both sad and angry that I could not get to this place with her, that there was a place I could not protect her. It made me even more mad to know that part of this was my fault. I knew it was my fault she had got mixed up in all this, my fault she now couldn't find peace in her own mind.  I held the sleeping girl tighter desperate to protect her. Not as if she needed protection of course, she could take care of herself. I knew this but it still didn't stop me from trying. Valkyrie was intelligent, witty, could hold her own and allot like me in many ways allot like my child too. I blocked out the feelings that came along with that thought. It wasn't hard now, as much as I knew I could never admit it I did think of Val as a daughter as well as my partner and I did care about her. I just hoped she knew that I thought again as I looked at her sleeping figure.

A/N a little bit of angst there, again sorry if this is written badly it is quite late and I am falling asleep here 🤣. Anyway thanks for reading and I will try have an update soon!
