AN: Hello again! I'm happy to see that you're not too upset with my absence. Thank-you for the reviews on the date! I was worried to be honest haha.
So here's the next chapter, it's an exciting one but you might not be happy with the ending. Especially if I tell you that there might not be an update for another week.
All in all, thank you for your words, here's the next one!
"Congratulations miss Rachel Berry! You're our very own Fanny Brice for this seasons Funny Girl!"
She couldn't believe it! She was still sitting on the back step of the theatre on the phone with Leroy sniffling and gasping for air. They both were. Leroy had to work that evening but told her to page the hospital immediately afterwards.
Hopefully there was no one he had to be attending to because they had been on the phone for a good fifteen minutes already. Rachel, telling him everything the directors said to her. Every note she hit. Every step she made.
"They loved me daddy! They even let me finish the song! They NEVER let anyone finish the whole audition song!"
She hears her father whimper another tear on the line.
"They told me they have never heard a voice like mine before daddy! And they've been in the business for years!" she usually doesn't like to brag, but tonight was a huge exception.
"One month from today daddy, opening night! OPENING NIGHT! My name in bright lights above the theatre! Daddy! DADDY CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" she's screaming this now.
"Oh honey I am so very proud of you. You have no," he pauses at the end of the line. She hears him take a deep breath and compose himself, "sweetheart you have no idea how proud your father would be of you right now. I know he's dancing is happy dance right now looking down on this. You are going to be magnificent, darling."
Rachel smiles and squeezes her eyes shut as the tears continue to fall. She didn't just do this to climb her mountain of dreams; it was for her entire family. Her fathers. And now she knows that all those nights of practicing were truly worth it.
"I think this calls for a movie night don't you? When I get off tonight let's pop in a few classics and just take the night to ourselves. What do you think my little superstar?"
Rachel continued to grin and finally wiped away her last few tears, "Nothing would make me happier, daddy. I'll see you when you get home."
They say there goodbyes and "i love you's" and Rachel stood up and took one last look at the theatre before exiting through the back door.
I made it! I'm on broadway!
Smiling to herself, she buttons up her coat and begins her walk home. When she turns the corner she accidentally runs into a rushing pedestrian carrying a tray of coffees that almost spill and hit the ground. That is until Rachel reacts quickly to grab the tray just before it hits the ground.
She turns around to hand the coffees back to the clumsy person when she is met with the most beautiful hazel eyes she has ever seen.
"OH MY GOD! RACHEL!"
She is cut off yet again by a gentle yet sudden hug from Quinn who is still squealing with excitement. She nearly drops the tray due to the sudden impact of the hug.
"Geeze are you ok? Sorry I was running to Santana's and I was in a rush and I- OH MY GOD! YOUR AUDITION!"
Rachel laughs and sets the coffee tray on the ledge beside her, thankful Quinn didn't seem to notice her reflexes to catch it in the first place. She straightens her coat before taking a deep breath.
"First of all, you should really watch where you're walking! You're lucky that hot coffee didn't spill on you," she finishes that sentence while moving her hands up to the blondes jacket and straightening it out as well.
"Second of all, you should really watch out who you run into. You could have hurt the new star of FUNNY GIRL THE BROADWAY REVIVAL!" she can't contain her excitement for the last part and she smiles widely as Quinn lunges forward for another crushing hug.
Rachel can't hold back her tears yet again. It was hard enough keeping them under control on the phone with her father, but getting a hug from Quinn was just as surreal.
"Oh my god, baby I'm so proud of you!" the blonde says behind her back, still hugging tightly to the singer.
B-baby?
Rachel breaks the hug slowly and looks into the panicked eyes of the cheerleader, "You- you called me, baby.."
Quinn's eyes bulge even further and her face turns pale with shock, "Rachel, I'm sorry I-I don't know what came over me I was just so excite-"
Rachel cuts her off with a finger to her rambling lips and smiles gently, "Quinn, no one has ever called me that and it was one of the sweetest things I've ever heard."
She feels the lips turn into a small smile and a breath released from her nose. Not to mention a quick peck to the slender finger as it slides away. Rachel releases a shallow breath at the feeling and looks down to her joining hands.
"Anyway, I'm so happy for you Rachel. Really I am!" the blonde praises her as she swings their hands back and fourth. The singer thanks her for the compliment once again.
"Hey! Do you want to come to Santana's with me? Me her and Britt were just going to have a movie night! They'd love to hear the news!"
Gosh she's adorable.
"As fun as that sounds, I promised daddy I'd meet him home for our own movie night. Berry celebrations you know." she says with only a bit of regret in her answer. As much as she'd like to hang out with Quinn night and day, she misses that quality time with her old man.
"Of course. Well Miss Brice," she finishes with a wink, "I guess I will see you tomorrow! Maybe we could arrange that date sometime this week?" the blonde asks with hopeful eyes.
"Nothing would make me happier. I'll see you tomorrow. Safe walk to San's" Rachel leans up for a quick kiss but ends it before it get's too much. She does have to walk home after all.
She watches as the blonde turns and heads down the street. Coffee tray in hand and purse clutched to the other. It was almost the most beautiful thing Rachel has ever seen. That was until she felt that familiar tingling through her neck again.
Spidey senses? Now?
Her thoughts are momentarily interrupted by the boom of thunder. She turns her head upwards to look at the black sky quickly forming and feels the few raindrops beginning to trickle down and onto her nose. She brings her focus back down to offer Quinn cab money to avoid the rain, but is shocked to see a larger man wearing ripped jeans and a hoodie following the same path Quinn had just taken.
While staring at the man, her spidey senses only grew stronger. In a matter of seconds, she sees two other men follow the first down the street.
Oh no.
Rachel takes off down the side alleyway and pulls her spandex suit from her purse. Shoving the rest of her clothes in the bag, she quickly climbs to the top of the building to hide her belongings.
Jumping across three buildings, she looks down to see the three men still following an unaware Quinn Fabray down the narrow street. Not only are there three men on her tail, but Rachel sees two others coming up ahead of her. To which Quinn notices and begins to turn back around the other way.
Rachel sees the panic begin in the cheerleader and quickly swoops down to a lower leveled building to listen in and prepare to attack.
"You should really get out of the rain sweetheart" one man says from behind her.
"No I'm fine thank-you. I'm just going this way" Quinn speaks confidently and tries to walk around the man. Only to be blocked by the other two. Her voice rises in her throat and she lets out a sudden squeak.
"How about I keep you warm while this storm rides out, hmm?" the man adds a disgusting tone to the word and gently grabs her tray of coffee and hands it to his other friend who throws it behind his back and laughs.
Quinn turns abruptly to run in the other direction only to be caught by the arms of the other man, sending Quinn into a panic. Her scream is quickly masked by an agonizing pained moan from the thug behind her!
Quinn holds her scream and turns her head slightly to see the red and blue acrobat kicking the thug in the leg and tossing him into a dumpster. Two other thugs lunge at the hero to attempt and stop her tactics.
Jumping free into the air and right onto the wall of a building, effectively dodging the two imbeciles, the men collide with one another and clunk heads; immediately falling to the wet ground holding their heads in agony.
Spidergirl jumps back down to ground level and shoots a strand of web at the two men; sticking their bodies together preventing them from moving anywhere at all. Agressivly grabbing them by the shirts and tossing them into the awaiting dumpster with their companion.
"GET THE FREAK JOHN!" the man who is still holding a thrashing Quinn orders out to his buddy next to him, causing Rachel to turn and look at the scene in front of her.
She looks to the lone man and takes one step towards him, only to frighten him enough so he runs away in horror, screaming in terror as he does it.
The thug holding Quinn quickly turns and whips out a knife from his pocket, holding it to the cheerleaders neck, "DON'T COME ANY CLOSER BITCH OR I'LL CUT HER!"
Rachel stops dead in her tracks and stares at the situation in front of her. She quickly surveys the alleyway, looking for anything to help her out. Her eyes land on a pile of loose bricks situated behind the pair.
It's got to be accurate!
Rachel raises her hands in a surrender position and crouches down to her knees in order to trick the thug into thinking she means no harm. He laughs triumphantly at the image in front of him and mutters out deeply, "I knew she was a coward."
Almost as fast as the speed of light, she shoots two webs from both of her hands to attach to the bricks behind the two. Pulling forcefully with both arms, the webbed brick plummets toward the man's head and hits him hard in the back of the skull; quickly knocking him out cold and falling to the ground along with the knife.
Quinn lets out a slight scream and covers her eyes. Rachel quickly runs to her side and kicks the knife away from the thug and turns to the quivering blonde who is still covering her eyes in terror.
Rachel quickly shoots her web to the wall and begins to climb up. Worrying that the close proximity might not help her calm down. Perching upside down from the shivering blonde, she stands up.
Quinn's worried expressing turns to relief as she stares at the hanging hero in front of her eyes.
"You have a nag for getting in trouble." Rachel speaks from behind the mask and the cheerleader sighs and smiles a tiny grin of relief.
"You have a nag for saving my life." she manages to get out behind her still calming nerves. "It would also seem that I have a superhero stalker."
Rachel pauses, "I was in the neighborhood."
It's Quinn's turn to pause and look into the masked eyes, but still finding nothing. "You are.. amazing!"
"Some people don't think so. The bugle doesn't seem to like me too much."
"I'm working on that." The blonde quickly gets out. They both laugh a little.
"Gee, thanks princess."
Her expression falters, still showing the smile in her eyes. Another boom of thunder courses through the alley.
"You're welcome" she replies shyly, "Do I get to properly thank you this time? Or are you going to fly away?"
Rachel says nothing. Just staring into the hazel eyes behind her mask.
Quinn slowly raises her hands to her hero hanging upside down in front of her. Moving her hands towards the girls neck where the mask ends and lightly grabbing the fabric.
"Wait!" Rachel utters out. The girls hands stop moving, as if waiting for a further protest from the spidergirl. Not hearing anything more, she pulls the mask down just below her nose, only exposing her parted lips.
Rachel can feel her heart pounding through her spandex. She hangs there motionless, just watching the blonde in front of her.
Quinn slowly leans in to the hanging hero, painfully slow at that. Rachel feels her eyes begin to drop and waits as she finally feels lips pressing softly to her own. The kiss doesn't last very long as the standing girl pulls back right after. Rachel does nothing but remain hanging there. Silently.
The blonde furrows her brow and stares at the lips for another moment. Rachel, thinking nothing of it is about to pull her mask back down when the girl surges forward and kisses her. Hard.
Rachel feels the blondes tongue immediately dart out to enter hers upside down. Fire building within her, she kisses her back just as hard. Grabbing the back of the damp golden locks and pulling her closer. The girl groans loudly and reattaches her lips to the hanger.
Rachel feels the girl suck her tongue further into her mouth and she suddenly can't hold back the feeling within her stomach tightening. Never in her life has she felt something so powerful. She feels as if strings in her lower body are tightening further and further. She mimics the girls actions by sucking on her lower lip harder and harder.
The blonde mews loudly and begins to scratch her nails further under the back of the red mask, making the hero shiver. Before she knows it, the girl is taking her tongue back with her own and sucking and biting roughly, making it impossible to hide her own moans anymore.
Before she realizes, the blonde is jumping back suddenly with a shocked expression on her face. Similar to when the thug grabbed her arms earlier.
Rachel just stares at the girl. Trying to catch her own breath but otherwise remains silent. She sees the cheerleader bring her hand to her own lips and continue to stare at the hanging hero.
"Rachel?"
