Authors Note: Thank you for all the reviews, Sorry about the time between Chapters, rewrote up to Chapter 5 which has been reposted, I still watch Big Bang, I just do not like where it is going and I do not like the Leonard on the show, or what he has become (I believe Johnny is an exceptional actor), my feelings are more due to seeing a real life Sheldon/Penny and Leonard, seeing the "Leonard" destroy the "Penny", my Sheldon never said how he felt and she only realised she loved him when it was too late. So if you do not like Shenny please do not read also I will keep canon in that Leonard may not ever be held accountable for his actions. Too many Shenny writers are being targeted by the trolls, do not let them win, this is fan fiction and everyone should have a voice, respect other writers.

Disclaimer Big Bang its characters belong to someone else. The story belongs to me,

Present Day

"Yes I said Dr Cooper was attacked, they are taking him to the hospital".

Mary, Wyatt and Darlene arrived at the hospital and were directed to the waiting room. They saw Bernadette and Missy sitting but could not see Penny anywhere.

"Where's Penny" Wyatt asked taking a seat across from them as Darlene and Mary sat on either side of the women.

"In with Sheldon, she told them that he was her husband and she was not leaving him" Missy said softly.

"Who did this" Mary asked "Did Sheldon say anything".

"Something about Leonard and some other guy surprising him in the office" Bernadette said, "He talked to the police, and they are going to speak to Leonard."

"He will have an alibi, he would have worked out a way to get away with this" Penny said from the entrance to the waiting room.

"He won't get away with it" Missy said getting up and moving towards to the exit.

Penny grabbed her and stopped her, "When is the hurting going to stop Missy, you get him and then his friends get you, he keyed my car last night and Sheldon tackled him. This was revenge for that."

"He hurt my brother" Missy said.

"He hurt my best friend, the guy, the one, my love" Penny said, "He seems to be hell bent on never allowing us to be happy."

At that moment Amy, Howard, Stuart and Raj arrived.

"Bestie, Leonard manipulated you from the start of your relationship to the end." Amy said, "He does it to everyone, he used Sheldon and me to make you want to stay with him, Priya to make you jealous and the only thing he did not do for you was give you an orgasm."

"Amy, sex with Leonard was not that bad, ok it was not good either" Penny replied, "I love Sheldon, I am trying to get to in love with him, Leonard seems afraid of that happening, we are just starting out, I am not going to allow him to destroy this, I will not allow him to control me anymore."

"Penny, you and Sheldon belong together, I was jealous at first, that he loved you." Amy said, "But I was forcing him to love me and change for me, I had that stupid five year plan and I deserved to be hurt."

"No you did not Amy" Penny said putting her arm around her, "He was your first, you did not have friends, you wanted to control everything because then you would be safe, I know that and Sheldon will see that."

"Besides Amy, you now have me" Raj said.

"Yes I know Raj, you have made me happier than I thought I could be" Amy replied as she hugged him tightly.

Meanwhile across town the police had spoken to Leonard, he told them that the black eye and the injuries were from Sheldon beating him. They asked him if he would like to press charges for that and Leonard said no, he would make a complaint to the university about it, He would not be taking it further than that.

He was asked where he was around the time of the attack on Sheldon, he explained that he was playing cards at a local pub and gave the names of people he was playing with. Leonard waited before the police had left before he broke out in a big grin. He knew that the people would verify that he was with them, after all that is what he had paid them to do.

He knew that at this time, Kurt was earning the rest of his money by meeting a friend who worked for Campus security and he would dispose of the tapes of him and Kurt on the campus. The perfect hit, the perfect revenge.

Tomorrow he would go to the University and lodge a complaint about Sheldon attacking him near the coffee shop, he knew Sheldon would probably get off but it would keep the pressure on the relationship. Sheldon was not going to get Penny, Penny was his, a little treat on the side that he would have when he wanted, if she still wanted to be an actress.

Rebecca had been home and was out getting them dinner. She had swallowed the whole story of Sheldon attacking him while Penny cheered him on. She was made and determined that the bitch would never get a role if she could help. It had got him sex when he had asked her not to that Penny was just following a crazy guy who would hurt her if she disobeyed him.

His plan was going along nicely, he was content.

Several hours later Sheldon was released from the hospital but told to rest. Sheldon had been pleased that as soon as she heard Dr Stephanie had taken over his care. Doctor Wallace had also come down to see him and Penny.

The University had called to say that the tapes had vanished and the hard drive which had acted as the back-up had been disconnected. Obviously there had been a well organised plan to ensure that what happened could not be found out. Howard promised Sheldon he would see what he could do on Monday.

The Police had mentioned the attack on Leonard the night before but Stuart said he had the whole thing on tape and Sheldon actions were justified, he went with the officers to get the tape from the store.

Penny, Wyatt, Missy and Christine wanted to pay Leonard a visit and discuss the situation with him but Mary and Darlene had stopped them. Leslie had called to find out if Doctor Dumbass was ok and had suggested she could take the laser and get a confession. Penny thought it was a good idea until Bernadette and Amy pointed out that this is what Leonard would want, having them all fixated on him, giving him control of their lives. Penny had punched the wall in the stairwell in frustration and quickly regretted it. Sheldon told her that they had just left the hospital and maybe it would be better before Saturnalia that they not return.

Raj made Penny and Sheldon promise that no matter what Leonard threw at them, not matter how much he tried, they would never ever give up on each other. They owed to everyone, to themselves, to all those who dreamed of finding true love, not to let the troll win.

They all spent the night having fun, enjoying each other's company. Penny never left Sheldon's side, she was determined to not allow Leonard to win.
