Okay this is as far as AU goes... mostly it is just the charcters names that are the same... and maybe a few personality traits... umm there are also newly made charcters in this...

It was started long ago but only today i wrote chapter 2 and decided to finally post chapter 1...

It is dedicated to these two girls especially!

Steffi - my dear love. Who was the first that I told the idea to and who loved it and begged me to do it.

And Randi - Who spent hours talking this through with me, pointing out things to make it better and helped me come up with names for some characters you will meet through the story. And who encouraged me strongly to write this.

I don't own the characters of the Good Wife, or the title which is taken from Bones.


A Different Life Shared

Strangers Meeting

She slammed the door behind her as she entered her dorm-room once more. Her blood was boiling with anger towards the woman who had given birth to her 17 years ago. The woman she couldn't be in the same room with for more than 15 minutes without fighting or one of them snapping at the other. Of course she had left Alicia today once more with a hurtful remark. She'd told her that after all there was no danger leaving her in a college dorm even though she was still a minor, only 17 years old, because she would have no imagination to get into trouble. That she could not even get laid if she tried to, so no worries about college boys, after all her daughter had not even been able to get a date for her prom because she was too busy studying. Where her Dad had been proud she had graduated at 16 and been valedictorian, her Mom wasn't, she said things like how Alicia wasn't enjoying her life and becoming just as boring as her Dad. Alicia couldn't count the times her Mom had stayed out all night and she had been the one to cook dinner and take care of Owen. She never told her Dad that she wished she and Owen could stay with him instead, because her little brother wouldn't hear of ever leaving his mommy. She knew it was no secret Owen was her mother's favorite child, and he always took her side. Alicia was more than a little worried about leaving home now and Owen alone with their Mom having to tend for himself but she also knew she could not spent another moment in the same house as her mother without going crazy.

"Looks like it was a happy goodbye or was it more a good riddance?" Erica asked. Her new room-mate whom she had met earlier in the day when she had arrived with her moving boxes. "Are you okay?" She sounded a bit worried and Alicia could imagine why, after all she had slammed the door hard and she was pretty sure her face was red from anger.

"I hate her... I really do..." She mumbled, Erica let out a light laughter and shrugged on her shoulders.

"Most girls hate their mothers and loves their fathers. Electra complex; you want to kill your mom and sleep with your Dad." Erica explained making Alicia's mouth drop open in confusion.

"Electra complex?" She asked hoping for an explanation of what Erica meant.

"Yes the female version of the Oedipus complex, Freud." Erica explained smiling. "Now what do you say we do something that will make you forget mommy issues and nasty remarks? She offered.

"You don't even know what she said..." Alicia mumbled as she walked over, Erica was nothing like her, she had already figured that out, from their brief earlier meeting. She was smart, smiling and seemed like someone who would make lots of friends and have the guys falling all over her, after all when Alicia arrived there had been 3 boys helping Erica with her boxes, while Erica ran around in hot pants and a top with deep cleavage, telling them where to put different things. Of course, Erica was a couple of years older than her.

"Well I imagine something like you are not good enough, you could do better, you are wasting your life? Correct? I am just guessing as it is usually a version of one of those things..." Alicia nodded. Erica was right with all of what she'd said.

"Well I heard someone earlier telling me it was your birthday, so why don't we go out celebrating and take a drink to freedom and forgetting overbearing mothers?" Erica smiled at her, Alicia stared at her in shock. She had never done anything like that. Only from earlier this morning she had a fake ID because Owen who was like her mother in this area, had given her one as: a so called birthday present telling her she had to at least try. She had asked him where he had gotten his hands on that but he had just teased and said she did not have the imagination to figure that on out so it was better left unsaid. She still had the little plastic card in the back-pocket of her jeans but she had not imagined she would ever use it. And here she was on the same day being tempted to use it.

"I... I don't know I don't really drink..." She admitted softly, making Erica raise an eyebrow.

"Ah so mommy's issues were you being a wallflower, not that you were too much of party girl... yeah that figures with the turning just 17 and getting into college... cool... then you know going out to celebrate your birthday is just the right thing to do right? Showing your Mom she is wrong and that she doesn't really know you. Come on girl, let's go look at your clothes and make you look like a total Babe and show your Mum what you're really made of." She grabbed Alicia's hand and dragged her in the direction of Alicia's bed and boxes.


30 minutes later Alicia felt lost, she had had no idea how much clothes she had and how little of them were fitting for going out. She was close to giving up and more than a little relieved actually... After all, if they couldn't find any dresses or skirts or pants Erica would agree on, chances were they would end up not going out at all, and part of her was glad about that. Erica threw another dress aside, looking at Alicia with a lifted eyebrow.

"I guess you were really not kidding when you said you were not much of a party girl. Hmm, you are very slim and you have to be at least 2 sizes smaller than I, otherwise I would just borrow you a dress. But I don't think you would fit into them..." Erica got up from the floor and went over to some of her own boxes and started running through them, while Alicia sat down on her bed looking around in the mess of clothes and moving boxes, letting out a deep sigh. Maybe she could spend the rest of the night getting it in order and unpacking and cleaning up.

"Yes... of cause why didn't I think of this earlier." Erica exclaimed making Alicia look up. Erica turned around to face her holding up some red silky material Alicia assumed was a dress. "Here, go try this on. I got it years ago for my Dad's wedding, it is too small for me now but it is one of my favorite dresses so I couldn't get rid of it. I think I might have the matching heels for that as well." She said as she handed Alicia the dress, before starting to dig through the boxes once more. Alicia wanted to protest but had a good idea Erica wouldn't let it go until she at least tried on the dress. Hopefully it wouldn't fit and they could let this go. She walked into the small bathroom and let out a deep sigh. She looked at herself in the mirror. Hating to admit it, but her Mom was right, she wouldn't get any guy to notice her even if she tried. They went for girls like Erica, girls that oozed with sexuality and charm. She shook her head and carefully pulled her shirt over her head and unzipped her pants and pulled them down and stepped out of them. She looked at herself once more, plain cotton bra and panties, she was what her mom said, boring. She looked at the silk dress she had put down on the toilet lid and picked it back up finding the side zipper and putting it on. It was halter neck style with a deep cleavage, so no chance she could wear a bra under it. It felt as if it was too small. She couldn't remember the last time she wore something this tight or short, she probably never had.

"Do you have it on?" Erica shouted from the room as she knocked on the door to the bathroom.

"Yes..." Erica didn't waste any time stepping into the bathroom. "You can't wear a bra under that dress... otherwise it is perfect... You look better in it than I remember I did. It has to be because of your long legs. Here, let me do your hair and makeup." Alicia didn't have time to object before Erica had run a brush through her hair.


She gulped as she walked into the bar, nervous, scared and bit excited. She couldn't really believe she was doing this, that she had even agreed to do this. She hadn't been to a place like this ever before, but Erica seemed completely at home and grabbed Alicia's hand, dragging her through the crowd of people. Alicia stumbled a little in the high heels Erica had made her wear. She was unused to really walking or moving in them, having only worn heels on very few different occasions before. She bumped into someone, making her trip a little and she would have fallen straight on her butt had a strong arm not been wrapped around her waist steadying her, and holding her up by pulling her a little closer to the owner of the arm. She carefully looked up at the man towering over her that had been her savior from falling flat on her butt and making a fool of herself. She felt small looking up at him, the guy looked down gently at her.

"Are you alright? You were not hurt were you?" He asked her gently, making Alicia blush lightly and look down a a light rose blush starting to coloring her cheeks. This was what her Mom talked about. She was terrible at this, flirting and interacting with men in general, she was sure if it had been Erica or even her Mom being saved from embarrassment by this tall and handsome stranger... Well he was rather handsome, okay stop kidding yourself Alicia, he is the best looking man you have ever met she reprimanded herself. If it had been one of those they by now have made him buy her a drink and probably had his tongue down their throat.

"No, I'm alright, thanks." She finally managed to say, almost biting her tongue for how ridiculous she managed to make herself sound. She felt his arm leave her waist now he was sure she was okay. "Come on Alicia." Erica pulled her out of her musings. She smiled nervously at the man, before letting Erica lead her away.

"Wow Alicia, 2 minutes in here and you already managed to find the hottest guy in the bar. Very impressive. By the way, he was totally checking you out. He still is." Erica told her as she pulled her over to a table where a few others were sitting.

"Are these seats taken?" Erica asked one of the guys at it but Alicia didn't bother looking at them, instead she was looking back over her shoulder, trying to find the man again, wondering if Erica was right and he had been checking her out. She caught sight of him at the bar, ordering, right as she found him, his head turned and he caught her gaze, nodded at her and sent her a gentle smile. Then he turned back around and picked up his order, Alicia followed him with her eyes as she saw him move through the crowds over to a bombshell of a blonde woman, low-cut dress which made her breasts almost fall out of as she leaned forward, clearly presenting the attractive package to the man. Of course he had not been checking her out like Erica had said he had been, he would be crazy to do so when he had a woman like that waiting for him. She looked down at her own dress, low-cut alright but nothing like the blond woman had to offer.

"Here, sit down and let us get you two some drinks." A guy offered and Erica pulled Alicia down beside her on the bench, before she started chatting up the guys at the table. Alicia once more looked over where the man was sitting, surprised to find him looking over at her rather than his blonde big-boobed companion. The moment she caught his graze he turned his attention back at his blonde friend. She looked over at Erica who was flirting heavily with the guys at the table, she would love to ask her friend what this meant. Was the guy really checking her out? She looked over again not able to help herself and found him looking at her once more. This time he nodded at her like he had from the bar.

A glass of some kind of drink was placed in front of Alicia and Erica told her to drink up as she toasted to the new year, one with lots of fun. Alicia sipped at her drink. It didn't taste so bad, actually she kind of liked it. As she sipped the liquor she stole another glance at him, meeting his eyes once more. This continued the whole way through her drink. She knew some of the others around the table asked her a few things, she answered not even really sure what she was saying. The alcohol was making her feeling a little warm.

She hadn't noticed she had finished her drink before Erica nudged her gently with her shoulder.

"Your hot savior just left Boob-job to get another drink and he is so into you. Hurry up, go to the bar." Alicia looked shocked, she wasn't sure if she'd be able to go and flirt with him like Erica suggested she should do. Still, she nodded nervously and got up from her seat. She actually did want to talk with the stranger and the thought that he could be interested in her was strangely thrilling. "Licia just don't do anything I wouldn't do." Erica told her winking at her. Alicia shook her head in amusement. She couldn't really imagine anything Erica wouldn't do so it didn't leave out much.

She moved through people being careful not to bump into someone else. She feared if she did her remaining grace would be gone. She managed to get to the bar without any accidents, letting out a light sigh of relief. She gulped as she slide in beside him on a bar chair. She quickly looked behind her catching Erica's eyes. Her new friend roll her eyes at her, clearly figuring out that Alicia had no idea to what to do next. Erica made a discreet move of crossing her legs and throw her hair over her shoulder baring her throat. She raised an eyebrow at Alicia, and she figured Erica was telling her what to do. Nervously she throw her hair back over her shoulder, adding a little more with pulling it all to the other side and twist it lightly, thankfully catching his attention and as he turned to look at her, she crossed her legs, like Erica had, making her dress slide up a inch more, showing her lower thigh to him. His gaze quickly slide over her, and she saw a weird emotion she didn't recognized in his eyes, and emotion she had never seen before, but she took in how he quickly licked his lips, and gulped, before meeting her gaze straight on. A weird sensation starting to form as a little knot in her stomach one made it harder for her to form a clear thought. She was however in no doubt that he actually liked what he saw. She was shocked could this gorgeous man she was pretty sure all the women in the bar had eyes for, and probably some of the men too, really be finding her attractive. She was not half as attractive as the blond if she had to decide for herself. Fighting against the blush starting to creep up over her cheeks she smiled at him softly.

"Hey, good to see you really is alright..." he broke the silence, and Alicia breathed out, happy he had taken the first step into this as she wasn't sure how to start a conversation.

"yes I actually wanted to thank you again for saving me for making a complete fool of myself." She smiled at him.

"You are welcome..." He returned her smile, his gaze quickly sliding over her once more."Oh I am being rude aren't I can I get you a drink?" He asked.

Alicia suddenly felt a little dizzy, and wondered if she should even have more alcohol, after all she wasn't used to drinking and she had no idea what her first one had been, plus she had no ideas what to order.

"No it is okay..." She started to object.

He raised his hand.

"I can't let a beautiful lady pay for herself, my mom raised me better than that..." He winked at her, making her laugh a little, and nod. "What would you like?" He asked her gently, sending Alicia into another storm of thoughts. She had absolutely no idea what to order, she didn't know what she had before and the only thing that came to mind was a beer but that wouldn't be fitting would it? She had absolutely no idea what else to get, why hadn't she listened better when girls in her class talked about sneaking into bars and getting drunk. Wine maybe, but she tried to remember any liquor that you could order and not seem out of touch with the bar environment.

"Scotch." the word slipped out from her lips before she even thought of it deeper, her dad drank that so it was the first thing she had come up with beside wine and beer. The guy raised her eyebrow at her, before shaking his head lightly at her smiling. Alicia wasn't completely sure what happened, why did he find that funny?

"Ice or no ice?" he asked

Alicia felt confused did that really matter she couldn't remember her dad ever using ice but she guessed it couldn't harm.

"Ice please." She answered with a gentle smile.

He turned around though and motioned to the bartender, asking for two scotchs with ice. He got them and handed her a glass of the amber colored liquor. He held his own up and nodded at her, Alicia did the same before taking the first sip of it. Why would anyone drink this? The strong alcohol burned her lips, and mouth and she has to fight not to spit it out, as well as control her face so he didn't realize that she hated it. She swallowed it. Feeling it burning all the way down her throat. Okay she decided it was terrible but not as bad as she has feared, though she by far would have preferred the sweet juice like drink she had earlier. She looked up at him and smiled pretending it was just what she wanted, he had that weird look on his face.

"You just decided to go with scotch because you had seen that it was what I drank didn't you? You shouldn't have to, I meant it when I said I like to by you a drink preferable one you want. Let me get you something else, now tell me what you would like?" he smiled at her. Alicia had no idea what to say, when it stuck her what to do she could put the ball back in his court.

"Surprise me, since you seem to have figured me out." She smiled back at him. He nodded and looked at her for a few more seconds before reaching for her glass their fingers brushing for a second, sending shivers down her back due to the excitement gathering in the pit of her stomach. He took the glass and turned around again and called the bartender over again. She couldn't hear what he said, but waited for him to turn back around. When he did it was with a red drink of almost the same color as her dress in hand.

"One Strawberry Margarita." He passed her the drink. "So am I right? This is more your style?" He asked teasingly.

Alicia smiled widened she had no idea what was in it but something with strawberry couldn't be all bad could it? She nodded, with a smile.

"Yes you are right, 10 out of 10." She smiled up at him as she took a sip of the drink. Relief filling her this tasted sweet and of the juicy fruit that was her favorite, it had a hint of sharpness she guess was from whatever alcohol was in it, but it was good, and far better than the scotch. He nodded and picked up his glass from before taking a sip.

"So I guess my mom really didn't raise me that well... I have forgotten to introduce myself before buying you a drink. I'm Peter." He had put down his glass and held out his hand for her. She smiled and took it.

"Alicia..." She offered not giving a last name since he hadn't offered her one.

"So Alicia what are you doing in a bar on a Sunday night?" He asked with a smile.

"My friend took me here to celebrate my birthday." She answered.

"really? Congratulation. How old?" he asked smiling at her.

Damn what was she supposed to say to this, she was a minor in a bar drinking. She could maybe say the age on her fake ID. She thought of a clever reply that didn't involve her lying to him. When it stuck her that she could give the most obvious one after all she was a woman.

"I thought you weren't supposed to ask a lady neither her age nor weight. Didn't your mom teach you that as well?" She sent him a smile she hoped was teasing and just a bit flirting. It seemed to work as he quickly ran his gaze over her once more, making Alicia excitement raise a little bit further.

"Well truthfully I don't think you would have any problems in the later area, nothing to be ashamed of." He flirted with her, making her blush a little.

"Thank you..." She sent him a gentle but shy smile.

"But you are right I was taught not to ask those things of a lady. My mom wouldn't be proud of me for forgetting my manners." He teased back. She wondered what to say next when she felt a heavy arm being draped over her shoulder, and a pair of wet lips brush her throat, making her tense up and push the arm off her.

"Baby... U left me all aloneee..." His breath smelled disgusting, of beer which he clearly had been drinking way too much of. She turned her face and recognized him as the one trying to strike up conversation with her back at the table the one she hadn't even bother focusing on as she had been too busy stealing glances of Peter. "Can... I buy U a driiiink?" He slurred. Alicia pushed him a little away from her trying to hide the look of disgust she had on her face.

"No thanks. I am good." She held up her cocktail from Peter hoping this would make the guy leave.

"Aww Babe.. that is some crappy girly drink. I'll get you a beer... Hey I want a beeeer..." he shouted.

"Really but I a good... I prefer this. And excuse me I was in the middle of a conversation... " She brushed him off and focused on Peter once more hoping the guy would take the hint. He didn't instead he looked at Peter and when back at her.

"Awww but baby you are way to hot for that old dude... I can show you a much better time than he caaan." His hand found her bare thigh and his fingers slide up under the hem of her dress. Making Alicia feel cold all over. Where the look in Peter's eyes and the touch of his hand upon hers and made her feel warm all over this guy made her blood turn to ice and made her feel disgusted.

"No thanks. I really am not interested" She said once more her hand catching his writs and trying to move his hand off her.

"Now baby play nice your little hot dress will look so much better on the floor. Come on Baby lets go outside, I could do you so good against tree... You would luve it babyyyy..." He started to slide his hand further up her thigh, making Alicia nauseous. But the next she knew a strong masculine hand had taken a strong hold on the guys writs pulling his hand off her and pushing him a little away.

"I believe the lady said no!" Peter's voice sounded dark, hard and dangerous now, and his eyes were field with anger.

"Dude calm down me and thee little tease were just having some fun. You can join if U want too... me from behind and U from the front... I'm sure she would LUVE that... wouldn't U?" The guy asked her.

"She said no! Discussion over!" Peter's voice was if possible even darker now, it scared her a little but at the same time she found it strangely appealing, making her feel warm all over once more. She was pretty sure this was what strong arousal felt like.

"But dude look at her... She is all hot for it. Her ass is made for a good pounding. She is tempting is with the goodies. U can't say you don't plan on tapping thaaat..." The guy continued. Alicia blushed and felt extremely embarrassed. Peter however didn't even look at her. He starred at the guy. His eyes cold as ice. She had never seen eyes that cold before, and it scared her but at the same time turned her further on, that he had just mt her and he got like this. That was scary and flattering and extremely tempting.

"How about you leave her out of it. And YOU and I go outside. You have 3 seconds to leave staring now!" Peter's voice was as icy and cold as his eyes. And the guy finally looked scared and stumbled away from them, mumbling something like crazy jerk.

"Are you okay?" Peter's focus was back at her, his voice no longer cold but warm and comforting. He still seemed tense though, but his eyes were once more warm and made her feel as he was wrapping a warm blanket around her, something she found just if even more arousing that his dark hard voice.

"Yes I'm fine... Thank you for... getting him to leave me..." She smiled a shyly at him. She still felt embarrassed over how aroused she she had gotten from Peter's anger, and hoped he didn't notice it.

"It seems to be my job for the night saving you... are you always this good at getting yourself into trouble?" He smiled teasingly at her.

"Usually not, but it seems to be one of those days... but at least I have you to play my knight in shining armor." She smiled back at him.

"And you seem to need one, so I guess I should better stick around making sure to save my damsel in distress." He winked at her. She raised an eyebrow playing along.

"Do you have a S on the chest under your dress shirt?" She teased.

"Shhhh it is a secret no one else knows about it..." His eyes twinkling at her.

"Oh really? I thought everyone realized you were superman..."

"Nahh only the special ones.. like you Lois." he winked at her.

"Wouldn't your date get jealous if she knew you were off saving Lois?" She asked fighting against the blush she felt forming from him calling her his Lois Lane.

"My date? Who do you mean? I came here alone... Didn't you know superman goes alone...?" he looked confused at her.

"The blond over there..." She nodded in the direction of where the blond he had been with earlier was still sitting glaring at Alicia, if her gaze could kill Alicia would be long gone and six feet under by now.

Peter followed her gaze over.

"Oh she isn't my date I was just being friendly. You know while I kept looking out for Lois. Finding her so I could keep her out of danger." He smiled at her.

"I see... Did your mother teach you that as well? Before sending you from Krypton, or was it Mrs. Clark that taught you that?" She asked playing along.

"That was Mrs. Clark after all I was sent away from Krypton as a baby... So Lois any new stories you are working on...?" He asked.

"Nothing at the moment... but I guess following you handling bad guys might make a good cover story." She flirted and sipped her drink.

"Hey remember it has to stay a secret. People would go crazy if they knew Superman was walking around among them."

She was about to answer when another arm was draped over her shoulder making Alicia tense up right away, before she relaxed realizing it was only Erica.

"Hey is everything alright here?" Erica asked.

"Yes it is fine." Alicia smiled at her.

"Good, because I was wondering if it would be okay if I left. You see him over there it is Alex and he's in a band and he wants so give me a private concert." Erica laughed and waved over at the guy."Think you can find your way home?" She asked Alicia.

Alicia nodded.

"Yes it is fine."

"You promise to make sure she gets home safely?" Erica looked at Peter. "And that no other drunken fools try to take advantage of her."

"I will." He nodded in agreement.

"Good when I am leaving you with Mr. Dark and mysterious. Remember don't do anything I wouldn't do." She gave Alicia a quick kiss on the cheek, and hurried off.

"Your friend who brought you here?" Peter asked when Erica was out of reach.

"Yes, Erica. So how does she know you won't be one of those guys?" Alicia asked teasingly.

"I am superman remember. Do you want another drink?" he asked motioning for her glass. Alicia quickly looked at it. She hadn't even noticed she had finished her drink.

"Nahh I am good... I would much rather you showed me your powers Superman." She smiled at him, her eyes bright and shiny.

"What do you mean?" he asked a little confused.

"Every other Lois got allowed a trip up the air with Superman. Why should I be cheated out of one?" Alicia answered.

"I see... I can't really fly around with you in here, can I... would make the whole thing quite obvious wouldn't it." He teased back and stood up too holding out his hand for her. Alicia took it lacing their fingers and letting him help her down from the chair. Once more she felt a deep flood of warmth spreading from there they were touching and up through her arm, spreading all though her body, warming her like the sun on a warm summer day.

He let go of her hand when she stood beside him, instead he placed his hand on her lower back guiding her though the room. His touch burned her through the thing silk, and she felt like she was on fire. She didn't stumble this time or bumped into anyone. Peter was making sure of that. She stopped nervously when they came to the door.

"I thought you wanted me to take you for a flight?" he asked her confused. Alicia looked up at him, suddenly more nervous than ever, she knew if she went with him now their light flirting and teasing would escalate. Was she really ready to go there? She hadn't even kissed someone before, unless you counted the quick one she had gotten when she was 10 from the boy living next door. Could she really do this? Suddenly her mother's words rang through her ears, and that sealed it for her. She could do this, she would do this. Her mother had been wrong she could get laid if she wanted to, this man clearly found her attractive and seemed to want and desire her, at least she thought he did. Yes she could do this.

"How do I know you take me for a flight not just to a tree like that other guy?" She asked teasingly.

"Nah a three is not really Superman's style. Is it? I much rather prefer to take you to see the stars." He smiled at her. She nodded and let him guide her out into the night.
