A/N: Thought I would experiment with POV's, mix things up a little. Tell me what you think.

Jubilee's POV

My eyes fluttered open slowly, my head was pounding, my eyes felt watery, and to make matter's worse; I had no idea where I was. My heart started pounding, almost as fast as my head. All I really remembered from last night was being attacked in an alley, Nate putting a bullet in the attacker, and him holding me in his arms, then nothing. Did I fall asleep in his arms? I felt my face getting warm, just the thought of falling asleep in his arms was embarrassing, too say the least. I felt a cool air hit my chest, when I looked down I saw that I was shirtless. Now I remember wearing a shirt last night, and I remember that bastard tarring it open, and- well its best not thinking of what he could have done. I looked around and saw a black shirt lying on the floor, it was better than walking around topless in god knows where. I walked to the door, and opened it slowly, trying to make as little noise as possible.

Nate's POV

I had to hurry, and finish fixing Joule's blouse. That bastard ripped it to get to her young body, I'm glad I put a bullet between his eyes, sick fucker. Should've snapped his neck, naw, too quick and painless. People like him don't deserve to draw breathe, let alone given quick and easy deaths. I laughed at myself, realizing I sounded like some kind of psychopath. I mean, I'm crazy, yes, but not psychopathic.

Still I was working, sewing on new fabric to repair what hadn't been torn off. That is until I heard someone clear their throat causing me to look up, which made me jab my finger with the needle. I saw it was Joule, and she didn't look really happy. There was nothing I could say to her that wouldn't hurt me in the process.

"Care to explain?" She said putting her hands on her hips.

"Well we can't have you running about with a torn shirt, I was hoping to get it repaired before you woke up, but I see that wasn't going to happen." I told her.

I finished the last repair and threw her the shirt as I started breakfast. We ate the hash-browns and pancakes, at least now I know she likes my cooking, hell I've never seen someone eat as quickly or as much as she did.

Jubilee's POV

Wow! He's friendly, he's kind, and he can cook. Is there nothing he can't do? But, the thing is nobody is as nice as he is in Rapture, at least not without cause, I had to ask him why he saved me.

Normal POV

"Nate," Joule asked, "can I ask you something?"

"Certainly" He replied setting the last plate by the sink.

"Why did you save me last night? You have to have a reason, right?"

Nate stopped moving, he took in a deep breath and then turned to Joule.

"Because of what happened to my sister."

Joule saw tears form in the corners of his eyes.

"What happened?" She asked stepping closer.

Nate fists clenched, trying to hold back the memory; the night he watched his sister be violated and killed, as he was held back and forced to watch helplessly. But too late he heard her screams echo in his ears again. He felt the tears stream down his cheeks, he didn't care he had to say something.

"I was forced to watch those sick bastards rape my sister," He said through gritted teeth, "I was forced to watch every motion, hear every scream. They had me held by my arms after they beat me and had a knife to my throat. When they were finished they-they took a shotgun to the back of her head."

He had to stop before he broke down into sorrow and anger. Out of nowhere it seemed Jubilee wrapped her arms around Nate, the look on her face was one of regret.

Jubilee's POV

'Stupid stupid stupid!' I tell myself, 'Why did I doubt him? He probably hates me now for opening that wound.'

Why did I- How could I have ever doubt him? He'd saved me, and how did I repay him? With cutting open something I never should have.

"I'm sorry." I whisper.

He put his arms around me then, and held me to him.

"It's fine," He said soothingly, "I couldn't save her but I did save you."

He looked me dead in the eyes when he said that. I smiled, stood on the tips of my toes and kissed his cheek. I saw his face redden a bit and I giggled.

"We-We should probably get going." He said trying to hide his face from me.

I nodded and grabbed a jacket. He followed me out.

Nathaniel's POV

She kissed me. Why the hell did she do that? All it did was get me flustered, now that's all I could think about. That is until we got to the orphanage, and I saw Jenna, the youngest little sister, about to leave with a big daddy. I think she spotted me as she told him to stop and ran to me, not think I ran and scooped her up, giving her one last hug good bye.

"Papa Nate I have something for you." She said to my surprise.

Out of the little pocket on the front of her dress she pulled out a cross made of three nails and what I'm guessing was a coat hanger to hold the arms together. On top was a loop and it was attached to a silver chain. She put it in my hand.

"If you ever miss me remember that I'm always with you right here." She said pointing to my heart. I felt tears again, but I didn't care. I hugged her once again, before she ran off back to her daddy, and left. For some reason that reminded me-

"Hey, Joule, your father wants you to call him when you get the chance." She nodded and went inside. I put the cross-necklace on, and followed her in

LATER THAT NIGHT (Normal POV)…

Nate and Joule both left late that night, Nate for his normal reasons, Joule just for the reason of not wanting to get attacked again. When they left Nate walked her to the Bathe-sphere, and saw that she got home safe. They sat in the mini-submersible vehicle; neither of them spoke for a while. Nate noticed Jubilee was muttering something to herself, but didn't think much of it. She finally broke the silence.

"Say, Nate, I've been thinking-"

"That's a scary thought." He said sarcastically earning him a giggle and a playful punch to the shoulder.

"I was thinking, well, you save me last night, and I sort of think you're…you're…"

"What am I?" I chuckled.

"The better question is what aren't you? You're funny, you're kind, you're cute." Jubilee tried to stop that last thought but too late it spilled out.

"Well, what a coincidence, you're fun, you're sweet, and pretty cute yourself."

"Oh. Thank you." She said adverting her gaze.

Nate just chuckled. But then he decided to try something.

"Say, Joule, I've got a question for you."

"Yeah?" She asked still not looking him in the eyes.

"You see a buddy of mine got me a couple of day passes to Arcadia, and I was wondering would you like to go with me tomorrow, since we both don't have to volunteer tomorrow?"

"I would love to." She said looking up to him.

He walked up to her and bent his head down, giving her, her first real kiss. Which she happily excepted. Nate already knew tomorrow was going to be a good day.
