Chapter 8: Our Girls


Three weeks had passed since Elsa agreed to become my girlfriend. Things have been great, relationship wise, but she is super suspicious. I know she still thinks I'm Archangel with how much she watches the news, and she keeps track of Hans' whereabouts as well. I do my best to distract her, but somehow my alter ego continues to pop up in our conversations. In a way, I'm jealous. I feel that Elsa has a 'thing' for her... Me... Ugh! My alter ego! Not that I mind, but I do mind, if that makes sense. I want to tell her the truth every time I see her, but I can't. I can always hear Hans' voice saying not to do it for her own safety. My only question: will it truly keep her safe? I'm worried that she might get in the way of danger just to figure out the truth, but I guess I'll just have to keep my eyes on her every time I walk into danger.

Today, Hans and I actually had to work at the hospital. It was a slow day and only 2 beds were occupied. Neither of them were our patients. We sat in the nurses lounge as we sipped our coffee and watched the news.

"How are things with Anna?" I asked.

"Great. It's nice having a girlfriend instead of random dates here and there. And you were right, I did need someone decent. Things are moving at a steady pace. No rushing and I love it." He said with a smile.

"That's great to hear. You know what's even better?"

He raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"That I don't have to come home to a whore house anymore." I said as I started laughing as did Hans.

"Well, I don't guarantee that you won't find clothes thrown on the floor anymore, if you know what I mean." He said as he winked. At first I didn't understand, but then it hit me like a sack of bricks.

"Hans! Ugh, I did not need the mental image of you and Anna in my head."

"Then my mission is complete." He took a sip of coffee. "And what about you and Elsa? How are things?"

"The relationship is great. We're taking things slow."

"And by slow, you mean her pinning you against the walk and casually making out with you whenever she has the chance?" He winked.

"I can't help that she has such flirtatious behavior, nor the fact that she refuses to keep her hands and lips off me. She's definitely something else."

"Eh, you need someone like her. You seem happier."

"Oh, I am. What worries me is the fact that she's suspicious."

"She reminds me of a wolf." Hans said. He wasn't kidding. "She's going to keep hunting for the truth unless you tell her. I still recommend you don't. Not now. There's too many kidnappings occurring. It's risky. Let's get to the bottom of all these incidents, and then you can tell her. She'll understand."

"I completely agree." I said just before Doctor Hook came into the lounge.

"You two are still here?" He asked.

"Uh, yeah? We were on the schedule today." Hans said.

"Well you two are free to go. We'll put you both on call. It's a slow day anyway."

"Oh, that's great." I said as I stood up and grabbed my bag.

"Works for us. See you later, Hook!" Hans said as he practically ran out of there towing me behind. We rushed to his car and sped away from the hospital.

"Hans, nobody is chasing us. Slow down." I said. The speed didn't bother me, but last thing I wanted to deal with were cops.

"Can't. We have to get to town." He said. A smile grew on his face.

"To town? For what?" I questioned.

"I messaged Anna about 30 minutes ago. She said that her and Elsa were going to a cafe for lunch. I figured they might still be there."

"Oh then by all means speed." I said with a laugh. "You're like a lovesick puppy, you know that?"

"Oh shut up. You feel the same with Elsa."

"True, but I'm not the one driving."

"Just let the master work, sis." He said with a smirk. I have to give it to him, he sure knows how to handle a sports car. We sped through the city carefully evading any and all cops thanks to a scanner Hans had placed in the car. It wasn't long until we arrived at the cafe. We hopped off the car and I immediately smelled Elsa's perfume.

"Look at the grin on your face, sis. He said as he laughed. "And you call me the love sick puppy."

"Not my fault that I can smell her perfume from here. And it smells soooo good."

"Easy, tiger. We're in public. No major displays of affection, alright?"

"Yeah yeah, whatever. Let's go!" I said as I skipped towards the cafe. Hans followed closely behind. We reached the front door when I stopped suddenly.

"Sis?" Hans called. "What's wrong?"

"There's a scent. It smells familiar."

"What does it smell like?"

"Wet dog."

"Ew." He said as he scrunched his nose. "I'm so glad I don't have that ability. And who do you know that smells like that?"

"I have no idea." I said as I shrugged my shoulders. "The scent is strong with this one."

"Now you're quoting Star Wars? Nice. Maybe it's someone who's in the cafe. Come on. Let's go inside." Hans said. He pulled the door open and allowed me to enter first. I began scanning for beautiful platinum blonde hair until I finally got sight of her and Anna. But they weren't alone. Sitting with them were two officers and their dogs.

"Who the fuck are they?" Hans said in an angry tone.

"They're the same cops from Elsa's kidnapping. Remember? They cuffed us." I said. I could feel myself shaking with anger. I was about to strut over there, but Hans stopped me. "Hey! What gives?"

"Look at the girls expressions."

I did as he said. Anna and Elsa looked pretty annoyed. Elsa kept looking at her phone. Anna was already rolling her eyes.

"They look super annoyed, Hans."

"That means that those two cops and their mutts were not invited."

"Then let's go get our girls." I said. We gave each other a high five and walked to the table.


*Elsa's Point of View*

Just leave us alone already! These guys were already getting on my last nerves. I was expecting an enjoyable day with Anna, but these two asshole cops decided to join us without permission. And to top it off, they started hitting on us. I mean, I'm grateful for helping when I was kidnapped, but they're not taking the hint. Officer Kristoff was making nonstop dreamy eyes at Anna and from her looks, she was ready to snap. On my side, Officer Marshall had the same look on me. It was even more uncomfortable since their dogs were present. I felt trapped. Their dogs, Sven and Olaf, were extremely close to our legs and they growled to anybody who got near us, including the waiters.

"So Anna," Kristoff said. "Can I have your number? Maybe we can go out sometime." He grabbed her hand and she quickly pulled away from him.

"Sorry. No can do. I already have a boyfriend."

"Well," He scooted his chair closer to Anna. "What your 'boyfriend' doesn't know, won't hurt. Come on, baby."

"Absolutely not." She growled and scooted closer to me. Kristoff didn't look so pleased.

"And what about you, snowflake?" Marshall asked. I could feel my blood boiling.

"I, too, am taken." I spat.

"Oh come now, he won't mind. You need a strong man like me in your life." He said.

"She will definitely mind." Said a voice behind me. My heart lightened. I know that voice anywhere. I felt two hands wrap around me from behind and I instantly felt safe.

"Kara." I said as I turned around. Sure enough Kara was there, but she did not look happy. Her eyes were locked onto the officers before us. The dogs began to growl at their close distance. I turned to look at Anna. Hans was also holding onto her in a protective manner.

"Can we help you two?" Kristoff asked. He was obviously annoyed with their presence.

"Yes, actually." Hans said. "You and your dogs can get away from our girlfriends." His voice was threatening. I had never heard him like that.

"Far, far away." Kara growled. Her voice sounded worse than Hans'. It even frightened me.

"Well, why don't you make us?" Marshall said as he stood up. Kristoff followed his example.

"Whoa wait a second." Anna said. She jumped up from her seat and stood between Hans and Kristoff. "There's no need for this. Can we just leave, Hans?"

"Yes, we can." He said. I stood up from my seat as well and Kara wrapped a protective arm around my waist. We began walking away when I felt a rough hand grab my arm.

"Wait one second, sweet thing." It was Marshall. "You need a man. Let me take you out. I can show you a good time."

I could feel my stomach turn. I was about to say something, when I saw Kara grab his wrist. He released me immediately and yelled as he crumpled to the ground in agony.

"What the fuck, bitch! Let me-Ah!" he yelled.

"How dare you touch my girlfriend! How dare you speak that way to her! I can rip you apart right now if I wanted to! You honestly think I care if you two are cops?! Nothing would please me more than breaking every bone in your pathetic body!" Kara yelled. She continued to squeeze his wrist to the point that I thought I heard a crack. He wouldn't stop yelling. Kristoff tried to come to his aid, but was pinned on the table by Hans. One of the dogs tried to bite Kara, but she kicked him away. The other managed to bite Hans on the leg, but he was completely oblivious to it. Who the heck are these people.

"Kara! Kara!" I yelled. "Let him go!" I grabbed her hand and tried to break her grip, but it was no use. She really has a tight grip. She was latched on and she refused to let go. Hans, on the other hand, released Kristoff and threw him to the ground. He then kicked off the dog from his leg and walked over to Kara. He grabbed her wrist and she slowly released Marshall.

"What the fuck are you two?!" Marshall yelled as he cradled his wrist.

"We're really, really pissed off doctors." Kara spat. "And if you dare to come near Elsa and Anna again, you'll get more than just a broken wrist."

Kristoff stood up and walked over to Kara. He grabbed his cuffs. "You two are under arrest." My eyes widened at the words.

"Under arrest?" Kara questioned. "You will do no such thing."

"Oh really, princess? Cause what I see is this: you two attacked two officers. You're getting jail time for that." Kristoff had a evil grin on his face, but Kara simply laughed.

"And what I see is this: you bothered two women that wanted nothing to do with you. You insulted them. You sexually harassed them and your friend assaulted my girlfriend. I think the odds are against you."

Kristoff was stumped. He looked down at Marshall and back at Kara. I could see in his eyes that Kara had him. He then began to laugh. It was a horrible, wicked laugh.

"Alright, you got me. We won't arrest you two, but you better watch your backs. You'll pay for this." He looked to the rest of us. "All of you will pay for this."

Hans laughed. 'Whatever, dude." He wrapped his arm around Anna. "Let's get out of here." He said as he kissed her temple. Kara did the same with me, and together the four of us left the café. Nobody talked. I could sense that Kara was still furious. Anna was the first to break the silence.

"That was incredible!" She exclaimed. "You two clobbered them! And holy crap, Kara! You broke the guys wrist! That was the greatest thing I've ever seen. Did you two take self defense lessons when you were younger, cause they had no chance against you. You two even hurt those ugly mutts! Amazing. Absolutely amazing."

Finally, Kara cracked a smile. "We kinda had to learn self defense when we were younger since our father abandoned us." She said. "It doesn't hurt to know."

"That was more than self defense." I whispered, but it caught her attention. I need to talk to her. "Uh, why don't you and Hans go ahead." I said to Anna. "Kara and I will catch up."

"Alright! See you later!" She said as she literally skipped away pulling Hans with her. Kara and I were alone and I could feel that she was a little anxious.

"Kara, what happened back there? How did you do that?"

"Look, I'm sorry if I frightened you or worried you, Elsa, but those creeps were coming on to you and Anna. I got angry when he touched you." She said as she touched the area of my arm where Marshall grabbed. "I don't like the fact that he touched you nor the fact that they harassed you for so long. I wanted to prove that I will do anything to protect you."

"Well, this was definitely a different side of you, Kara. I wasn't expecting you to break bones with a single hand. How on earth did you pull that off anyway?"

"Uh, well, I-I'm a doctor, Elsa. I know the human body. Not to mention that I took self defense classes, so I do know the weak spots." She avoided my eyes with every word.

"Why must you lie to me?"

"Lie? Elsa, I'm not lying to you."

I turned away from her. I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Kara, lord knows I love you, but I can't help but feel that you're constantly lying to me. I want you to be able to trust me with anything and everything." I looked back at her. She was one hundred percent focused on me "Please don't lie to me, Kara. Please. I beg of you." I cried as I grabbed her scrub top and pulled her close to me. I laid my head on her shoulder. Slowly she wrapped her arms around me.

"You... You love me?" She whispered. I stopped breathing suddenly. I quickly pulled away from her embrace to look at her. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears. She was smiling.

"Yes. I do love you, Kara. I love you so much." I said. She remained quiet for some time, which worried me. "Kara?" She said nothing. Instead, she pulled me back in her arms and kissed me passionately.

"I love you." She whispered between kisses. "I love you, Elsa" She continued to kiss me. I could feel stares from people passing by, but I didn't care. The woman I love loves me back. After what felt like an eternity of kissing, we broke apart. We looked into each other's eyes. I could easily see that something was bothering her. It had been for a while now.

"Kara, what's wrong?"

Silence.

"Kara, please talk to me." I begged again. She took a deep breath.

"I... I haven't been completely honest with you, Elsa." There it was. The confession I had been waiting to hear.

"What is it, Kara? You can tell me."

"No." She said. "I can't. For your safety, I can't."

"My safety? Kara, what on earth are you hiding that's so bad that you can't even tell me?" I questioned. I pulled away from her completely. I missed her warmth, but I had to know the truth once and for all. "Tell me." I commanded.

"Elsa, I cannot begin to explain myself. Especially not here in public." She whispered. She lowered her head.

"Then let's go someplace private to talk."

She grew quiet again. I knew she was thinking about something. Probably weighing her options, but she nodded gently.

"Alright. Let's go."
