A/N: The characters and precinct don't belong to me, except for the places where Cassidy will live on her own. Her ex is also mine.

Prologue

'Special victims unit, huh. Ah well let's do this. I thought when I came in to the precinct. With my box of personal items I walked towards the room where I needed to be, and it looked like I was the first one in. "Welcome to SVU, detective Sullivan. I'm captain Cragen. As you know we've started this unit seven years ago, the empty desk is yours, I think the others will come in at any moment." a bald men told me. "Thank you, captain Cragen. Please, just Cassidy or Cassie." I answered smiling, when the next one came in. "Good morning detective Stabler." the captain said, while I fixed up my desk. I looked up and saw a man that was just a little older than me that I recognized instantly, and I walked up smiling. "Hi Elliot. Nice to see you again." I said while I gave him a hug. "Hi Cassie, it's nice to see you too. How have you been?" he said, while he answered my hug. We shared how we were doing and why I had only been around with Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve. I knew him for a while now through his wife Kathy, and I hoped we would be partners while I noticed he sat down at the desk opposite of mine. "It seems we're going to look at each other a lot." I said chuckling and he nodded. "It seems so, partner." he answered, while I looked around not noticing he called me his partner, and saw two other people walk in. The captain greeted them too, and told me there would be two others who would come in later. "Hi, I'm Olivia Benson." the woman said and held out her hand which I took. "Hi, Cassidy Sullivan, nice to meet you." I said, while we shook hands. I walked over to the older man and held out my hand. "Cassidy Sullivan, nice to meet you." I said once more, while the man took my hand and shook it, while he introduced himself as John Munch. A little while later I was settled down, and the last two joined us. We shook hands and I introduced myself to Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola and Brian Cassidy. The phone rang and Elliot answered it. It went so quickly I couldn't understand what was going on. "Let's go, partner." he said, stood and started walking out. "Cassie, you coming or what?" he asked and I got up as quickly as possible, I bumped my knee on the desk and walked out cursing. "Since when are we partners? I thought the captain was going to assign me one?" I asked, while we got in the car and got on our way to the crime scene. "He assigned you to be my partner the second he told you which desk you needed to take." he answered smiling, while I nodded.'

I sighed, while thinking about my first time here, it was six years ago already. Ever since the start, Elliot and I were partners and they never took us apart. We went through hell and back again three years ago. He saved my life more than once, of course I returned the favor by saving his ass equally as much. But three years ago, it was different, it wasn't necessarily saving me, but he was there out cold on my kitchen floor by my ex boyfriend before he beat me up and raped me. After he was done and gone, I called 911 and asked for detectives Tutuola and Cassidy. Somehow I didn't want Olivia to find out, not that I didn't like or trusted her but we weren't friends either. After the whole ordeal Elliot's wife who was a long time friend of mine offered me a place to stay until I felt good enough to go back home again. I took the offer and two weeks later I was home again. I couldn't sleep properly without having nightmares.

A/N: Hope you liked it so far. It's my first try for a fanfic that isn't in the fantasy genre, so I hope I'm doing sort of a good job. For all the OxE lovers, sorry to dissapoint you, even though I'm one of those shippers too, I wanted to be my first SVU fanfic a ship between Elliot and my OC character.
