V for Vendetta
Chapter 23: Recurring Nightmare
One year later
It has been one year since Brennan and Booth had heard anything about or been contacted by V and there was no sign that he had returned. Booth thought that maybe V had given up, but Brennan wasn't sure because every night she still had these nightmares about V making a stand again against Commander Lenor and Chancellor Cullen, and it always ended with him dying in her arms, and every time she ended up in a cold sweat, she didn't tell Booth about these nightmares, she didn't want to worry him about it. Over the course of the year, Booth and Brennan had still managed to keep their relationship secret and kept Brennan in hiding in his apartment until V was killed or captured. Brennan still ended up working; she helped Booth on cases, going over bones on her computer that Angela or Zach would email to her. Yes she hated it, having to work at home and not in the field with Booth or working along side her friends or co-workers. At times she would cry herself to sleep hoping that this was some kind of nightmare, but at least she had Booth, he was always there to comfort her and as he always said ,
"Don't worry everything will be fine, it will get better I promise."
Even though everything wasn't fine or getting better, hearing that from Booth made her feel a whole lot better, knowing no matter what, he would always be there to tell her that, and it was for that reason that she loved him more than anyone.

Midnight
Booth's apartment.
As Always Brennan and Booth were snuggled into each other, sleeping peacefully until it stroke midnight and the church bells rang from a few blocks down from their apartment. Brennan started to toss and turn as she was in the midst of having that recurring nightmare she'd had ever since she'd met V.
It's dark and damp down in the depths of the sewers of Washington DC, her and Booth have been captured by Commander Lenor and his swat team, Lenor is deciding who to kill first, he looks at Booth and then with a devilish smile looks at Brennan and says, "Director Booth, how it will make you feel if I put this bullet into your "Partner's" head."
"Please don't! Choose me! Take me instead, just please not her" Booth yells
"Booth no!" Brennan pleads
"Shut up the both of you, now I've made my decision," the commander yells, then commands his team to point their guns at Brennan's forehead he's about to pull the trigger when the commander says, "Goodnight Dr.Brennan."
Just when Lenor is about to pull the trigger, a voice arises from the shadows, "I don't think so Commander Lenor."
The commander stops and puts the gun down and looks to see where the voice has come from and when he looks to his right, there he is, V had come out of the shadows.
"Well V I'm glad you finally decided to finally grace us with your presence,"
"Let Dr. Brennan and Director Booth go; this is about you and me not them." V comands
"You see V that's where you're wrong and I'm in control here not you, so they stay, now are you ready to surrender?.' Lenor asks
"V no don't surrender!" Brennan yelled
"Shut up!" the commander yells, as he slaps Brennan across the face, Booth tries to get his fist up to Lenor but Lenor turns the gun to Booth as he says, "I don't think so Booth." Lenor then turns back to V. "Now where was I? ah, yes, you are going to surrender,"
V sighs, "Yes."
"Good, now down on your knees."
"No, I was hoping you would shoot me in the heart."
"Very Well" Lenor points the gun and shoots V right in the heart and V instantly hits the ground.
Brennan screams "No! V, No!"
Brennan woke up once again in cold sweat just like she'd done before. Booth sees her get up and he's immediately beside her.
"What wrong?"
"Nothing just a bad dream, uh I'll be back I need some water ok" giving Booth a quick kiss she got her robe and left the room.
She went into the kitchen to splash cold water on her face but that didn't seem to get that nightmare out of her head, so she thought she to do something different.
She went to the fridge and there she saw the bottle of vodka she never thought about drinking until now so she grabbed the bottle and got a glass and sat down at the table starring at the vodka, she sighed as she took the bottle to open it she was about to pour a glass when someone said,
"I thought you didn't touch that stuff."
Startled by Booth's voice, she dropped her glass of Vodka, Brennan bent down and was about to clean the mess, "Booth, see what you made do?"
"Sorry, Sweetie here let me clean it up; I don't want you to cut yourself." Booth said.
"Booth I am perfectly capable of cleaning my own mess." but then Brennan ended up nicking her finger on the glass. "Damn it"
"I told you, here, let me." He helped her up and got her a wet towel to put over her wound, then he cleaned up the rest of Brennan's mess.
"Thank you" Brennan said.
"Your welcome, how's the finger." Booth asked
"It'll be fine." Brennan replied.
Booth sighed and asked, "So may I ask again why you are drinking a glass of Vodka."
"I just wanted to."
"Bones you never drink Vodka ok, ever, so something is wrong, now tell me." Booth asked
"It's V, I keep having a recurring nightmare, that he's going to die."
"Bones, I thought we settled this, V is gone, ok? He hasn't been seen or heard from for a year now."
"Yes, I know but he said on that on November 5th 2012, this country will have rights and privileges again, he swore it Booth."
"Yes, I know, I remember."
"And you do know what day it is Booth."
"November 4th."
"No, November 5th 2012"
"Oh"
"Yes, Booth, V is coming back; we have to see him one last time."
