Bad Day

Disclaimer: Not mine... though as an inticing of an idea that it would be...

Summary: Wendy is having a bad day, good thing her friend Nick is there to help her through...(okay cheesy summary)

A/N: Could be one shot, could be a bit longer of a story, I'll see how the reviews direct it.

Bad Day

Wendy listened to her message and scoffed, thinking there was no way she was going to fall for that. When Nick called her to ask her what was wrong, she told Nick to stuff it and that she wasn't in the mood. Normally, Nick and Wendy were like bread and butter, but today was one of those days when the bread wasn't feeling the butter.

She threw herself into her work when her shift started, she snapped at Greg, picked a fight with both Nick and Sara, and all but bit off Ecklie's head, earning herself a warning. She was angry and frustrated and hurt.

She received a second harsh warning from Ecklie, about being arrested and suspended when she punched Hodges for being his annoying self, and been ready to beat the crap out of him if Nick hadn't dived into their fray and caught her around the middle knocking her back a few paces as she had been ready to swing a second time at Hodges. He pinned her arms behind her back and marched her back to the break room telling Ecklie that he would talk to her.

"What is going on Wendy?" he asked her once they were inside the break room. "Sure, there have been times when I've, and pretty much everyone else, have wanted to punch Hodges, but I've, we've, never acted on it..."

Wendy didn't look at Nick as he demanded to know what was going on with her. She kept her mouth in a firm line and glared at him and the ground. She nearly tackled him when he told her to stop channeling Sara.

Nick held her tight as pinning her arms to her side when she flew off the couch at him. "Let me go," she cried struggling against his grip.

"Not until you tell me what's wrong Wendy," he said. "I know you and this ain't you. This ain't the nice flirtatious DNA tech who is one of my closest friends."

"You wouldn't understand Nick," she told him still trying to twist her way out of his grasp. He held her tight and refused to let her go until she told him what was wrong and to not even try lying, he had 5 sisters and knew every trick in the book. She slammed her foot on his instep and he, after swearing an oath, hoisted her onto his shoulder and marched out of the office with her over his shoulder as he headed for the facilities gym and after grabbing gloves and protective head gear threw her into the boxing ring and got in after her.

"You want to punch and hit something? Take it out on me, not on Hodges or Ecklie." he said giving her the gloves and protective gear.

Nick let Wendy take her anger and frustration out on him in the boxing ring and came to the conclusion of nothing was hotter than a angry female with a nasty left hook in a boxing ring.

"Feel better?" he asked after they both were laying on the mat of the ring out of breath.

"Surprisingly yes," she said.

"Ready to give Keppler another chance?" he asked quickly covering his face with his arms in case she was going to beat the crap out of him.

"You want to have a future generation of Stokes?" she countered with.
