Love for a Lady
Disclaimer: I do not own the Thunderbirds or anything related only the characters of Dian and Timmons are mine! Also I do not own the SAS only the characters Smithie and Peters are again mine.
This is my first story and it's a mixture of the film and the TV series as I love both of them.
Lady Tutrice Cara Radford
Coming home for Christmas never excited Lady Tutrice Radford (or Dian to her friends). She was only twelve but had spent most of her life at boarding school. Home life was a privilege only for Christmas.
Their butler Timmons opened the door for her. He had been with the family all her life and was like the father her own father could not be. Stepping into the drawing room Dian found that they had visitors, an African man and his American wife. Dian greeted them and turned towards her parents.
The next few moments became a blur. Dian heard a gun shot and saw her father fall to the floor, a bullet through his head. Then another shot and her mother lay beside her father a bullet through her heart.
Dian turned to the guests. They had only two bullets as they did not know Dian was coming home. The woman picked up an ornamental samurai sword and thrust it through Dian's stomach. She fell and saw no more.

A month later Dian awoke from her coma. The doctors had given her a pace maker and used the latest technology to rebuild the quarter of her stomach lost when the sword cut her open. The doctors had said it would be a miracle if she survived but the Lady of Radford state house would not die. Timmons stayed by her side until Dian awoke and was well enough to leave the hospital.
Over the next few years Dian grew up to be a strong, confident woman. She learnt to dance and ride a horse as a young woman should but she also learnt self defence and was the best student at sword fighting. At twenty-two she was accepted into the SAS and became the first female captain. However because of the large scar down her stomach and back and how tender the skin was the SAS Generals never let Dian go on missions away from the country due to the danger of her injury re-opening.
This meant, at the age of twenty-five, Dian was one of the first people to see the Thunderbirds first rescue of Firefly.

The week after the Thunderbirds first showed themselves to the world, Dian was in a small coffee shop close to Harrods. Thinking over her life and how more men treated her as a friend rather than a date, Dian drank three cups of coffee and ate two plates of biscuits. Soon after she got up to leave and headed for the door.
That was how she walked into another man. A man she admired for flying in the US air force. The eldest son of a billionaire.
