A/N: This is a new thing for me so stick with me on this. I have big plans for this story, though I'm not so sure where it might go! Leave a review of what you think so far! More coming soon. :)
Prologue
Many people have referred to me as a hero. They were mostly victims, thanking me for giving them the strength to overcome what had happened to them.
In all honesty, I never believed them. It wasn't that I thought they were lying, but I knew somewhere in my heart that eventually, one way or another they would find that strength in themselves, they just needed a little push. I happened to be that little push and for that they praised me.
Until that one fatal December night when I was called out to a typical case, my life was normal, undisturbed, basic. Everything I thought I wanted. I never could imagine myself with a nice brownstone, a loving boyfriend, and little people running around. It just wasn't who I was…or so I thought.
That night everything changed. It was the beginning of a long, complicated relationship with a girl who reminded me much of myself when I was her age. It was also the start of something so much deeper and complex than just that one case.
A true, heavy love began with me and someone I never would have thought to be mine. That relationship with that one girl blossomed over time as she experienced more obstacles in her life that I had to help her with. Life at SVU became more hectic as rookies emerged out of the blue. More than anything though, that night was the start of me growing, attaining a wisdom that you only read about in fairy tales.
Now, it's my turn to pass that wisdom on to you.
This is my story of becoming a hero.
