"If another innocent person-"
"If you're all out of baseless allegations, I'd like to kindly ask you to get the hell out of my house." Scott raised his eyebrows pointedly at a nearby bodyguard.
A blond man came up behind them and grabbed Michael's arm roughly, and Fiona was already reaching for her gun when Michael let out a pained cry. Her first instinct was to shoot the bodyguard, but she managed to keep a lid on her temper. Instead she just aimed her gun at him and said, "Hands to yourself. We're leaving."
The bodyguard let Michael go, and as Michael stepped forward, he growled, "Go be with your daughter. Enjoy the time. Prison visits are hard on kids." Then he walked slowly past Scott, and Fiona followed after him.
As soon as they got outside and reached the car, Michael leaned against it and buried his head in his arm with a pained grunt.
"Michael…" Fiona came up behind him and gently rested her hands on his hips.
After a minute, he muttered, "I'm okay, Fi."
"Right." She gently pulled his arm around her shoulder and guided him to the passenger's side of the car. Then she pulled the door open and eased him into the passenger's seat. "I'm taking you to your mom's."
It came as a surprise to her when he didn't argue. He just let his head fall back against the head rest, and his eyes closed.
Shaking her head, Fiona carefully pulled the seatbelt over him and fastened it. Then she smoothed his damp hair back and rested her lips lightly against his cheek.
She had been ready to blow that bodyguard's head off back there, along with Scott's, because she had seen them as a threat to him. She didn't enjoy taking a life, and she tried to do it only when it was unavoidable. But when it came to Michael, she didn't need to think twice about it. She would walk through hell for him if he asked her to.
Pulling back, she closed the door carefully before moving around to the driver's side and getting into the car. Michael's eyes were still closed as she started the car. He shouldn't have left the hospital in the first place. When she got him to his mom's, she would make him take it easy for a while, if it meant clubbing his thick skull and knocking him out for a while.
Starting the car, she looked over at Michael again, and a sense of protectiveness and affection washed over her. "Idiot."
Michael opened one eye slowly and focused on his girlfriend.
"Love you, too, Fi."
The End.
A/N: Hehehe, protective Fi. We just don't get to see enough of that in the show. LMAO. Thanks for reading, and please review!
