I woke up to screaming, I look over to Cordelia and she's having a nightmare again. I gently shake her and pull her into my chest. Bullet and Knuckles come charging into my room guns drawn

"Fuck Killer, we thought some one was getting murdered" Knuckles says lowering his gun to his side.

"Sorry guys, the scarred freak is fucked in the head too" she says against my chest.

"No worries Masochist, go back to sleep, see you at breakfast" Bullet says giving me a look, they leave the room and Max jumps onto the bed to comfort her.

"Beautiful, I love you and I try to be gentle with you, but if you don't shut the fuck up with the freak talk I'm going to have to punish you" I say before kissing her forehead.

"I'm sorry, I just hate myself right now" I lie back down and pull her on top of me, she rests her face on my chest

"It's fine I love you enough for both of us" she fell back to sleep on top of me and I drift off not long after.

I woke up and she was still in my arms, this is a first and I love it. I lie there for a while watching her sleep, she's so beautiful, even if she doesn't see it I do. I brought Max's bed from her house and he's curled up on it on the floor next to her side of the bed. I wanted her to feel this is her room too so I brought some stuff from her place, including her night light and stuff to help her relax. I gently move her off of me and head down to the kitchen, she might not want to be around the guys right now, so I'll take her breakfast in bed. I head back to my room with a tray of food and her coffee. I walk in and the bed is empty. I put the tray down and head for the bathroom. She sat on the floor of the shower crying, I pick her up and sit on the floor of the shower pulling her onto my lap. The water begins to turn cold so I stand up still holding her and sit her on the bathroom counter and wrap a towel around her, the mirror behind her still smashed from where she punched it yesterday. I dry her off and put one of my shirts over her, then carry her back to the bed. "Just stay in here today and relax with Max, I've got some work to do then I'll be right back, ok Beautiful?" I say kissing her forehead before walking out.

I call church and all the guys filter into the room

"So have we heard any news on the Sons since I killed their VP?" I ask and Circuits replies

"Looks like their going underground while they sort their shit out, but I wouldn't say we're safe yet, I wouldn't be surprised if Dragon has something up his sleeve." Church carries on discussing safety, a back up plan if Dragon pulls something and the next delivery coming up. I head into my office and get on with my work so I can get back to my Beautiful.

"Woah, she is fucking tough, damn, I wouldn't fuck with her" I hear coming from the next room, it's the room where we can watch the CCTV for the whole compound. I head out of my office and over to the room, Knuckles, Socket, Ice and BFG and all gathered around 1 TV screen

"Damn, maybe Masochist is the right name for her" Ice says

"What we watching guys?" They all freeze and I look up to the screen to see Cordelia in the gym, she's wearing a sports bra and the tiniest shorts I've ever seen, she's punching the hell out of the punch bag, there's blood all over the punch bag, the floor and her.

I run across the compound and to the gym. I can hear Shinedown - Sin with a Grin blasting before I even get to the door. I walk in and see she's broken her already bruised knuckles, splattering blood everywhere every time she hits the bag, tears streaming down her face, she hits the bag over and over, getting faster and harder with each punch. I turn the music off before I run over to her and grab both her wrists, I pull her into my chest.

"What the fuck are you doing beautiful? You're staining my gym floor, put a fucking sheet down next time huh?" I say hoping to stop her crying I hear her laugh against my chest

"Sorry, I'll clean it up" she says looking up into my eyes, at least the tears have stopped.

"Why are you in here messing up my gym, Beautiful? I thought you were going to stay in bed" I ask kissing her forehead.

"I changed my mind, I don't want to be a healer anymore, I want you to teach me to fight and I want to learn to shoot. I'm sick of being a victim for you to rescue, I want to save myself" she says reaching up and brushing her lips against mine. Fuck she's already dangerous, what am I getting myself into "Ok"
