Hard Lines (Eric/JAI)

Lily Eaton has just moved home to Chicago after striking out on her own at the age of 16. She is a brilliant scientist but with the hard edge brought to her by her abusive and alcoholic former DPD father. Moving back home was never part of her plan but when she is given orders to continue research vital to stopping a possible global threat from Erudite Industries she has to go back and face a past she has been running from for years. Eric Coulter is a hard nosed Commander for the DPD that has been charged with discreetly protecting Lily from the threat of Jeanine Matthews. When Lily and Eric realize they have a mutual hatred of Four they decide to play with fire to mess with Four and possibly get him to show his true colors. Neither counts on the desire to cross the hardlines each has set by their hearts and their careers and become something more than just a chance at petty revenge. Eric/OC Set in modern time with future tech. AU
