A/N Ok first off I'm thankful to everyone reading this your reviews and feedback has been awesome, it's very much appreciated. This Chapter is a monster, I couldn't stop writing and I could have split it but I didn't like any of the bits I could have cut it at and to be honest there was no reason to split it. I mean I could have just to get more reviews but that's not the point of why I write, I write because I enjoy telling a story. So go get your coffee or whatever cause you'll need the fluid. Hopefully you will enjoy it.
A big thanks to my lovely Beta Zoda she really had her work cut out for her in this one, but she's awesome and I will be paying for it for a while coz she's gonna kill me for…okay you'll find out. Just remember if you kill me it will stay that way and the story won't get finished.
The disclaimer thing is just as always I have stolen a number of things from everywhere I mean no harm it's just for entertainment value. All mistakes are mine unfortunately, I don't want them but they do happen! Enjoy x
Chapter 9 No Light, No light in your bright blue eyes!
The door flew open and crashed against the wall. It sprang back towards the two women that were so wrapped up in each other as they made their way blindly into the room. Hitting into the rebounding door, Callie giggled an 'Ouch' into the blonde's mouth. Legs were used as antennae, feeling out the surrounding area as neither of the women wanted to separate their mouths crashing together, exploring each other. Hands moved in a hypnotic dance as they clutched, squeezed, grabbed, caressed every inch that was available to them.
"I love you, I really do but I don't want you to do something you're not ready for. I need you to be ready! You've had so much taken from you in your life…and I…I can't take this from you?" Callie pulled herself from her love's lips, keeping her own eyes locked with the bright blue eyes staring back at her.
Entwining fingers into dark brown hair, Arizona brought Callie's mouth back towards hers. Lightly brushing her tongue over the moist lips of the brunette's, she gently asked permission for entrance. Callie couldn't contain the moan that found its way from within her and escaped her lips, the pleasure washed over every sense that she had, relaxing her body.
"Arizona…"Callie struggled to catch her breath as she tried to speak; she tried to pull the smaller woman from her before she couldn't stop herself. Arizona resisted and continued to kiss the fighting woman into submission.
"I'm ready…you're not taking anything from me that I'm not willing to give to you." Arizona never removed herself from Callie's lips as she spoke into her soon to be lover's open mouth, hands entwined in Callie's hair keeping the brunette close, staring straight into eyes darkening with desire.
"Arizona…"Callie tried to continue but was cut off again by the Blonde.
"Calliope, would you leave me…would you? If I told you what I've done…what I've become?" Arizona closed her eye's moving the two women closer together, when she opened her eyes again all light was blocked off, making blue eyes almost black. "I need to tell you something and I'm scared you won't want me after I do?"
"Arizona…whatever you've done, it wasn't you…I'm not going anywhere, you hear me?" Arizona buried her head into Callie's shoulder trying to hide her shame.
"Arizona…"
"Arizona…ARIZONA!"
Callie's shout was the only quick reaction the brunette had as she watched the blonde fall, as Arizona hit the ground Callie felt as though she was moving in slow motion to reach her. Karev and Bailey had managed to keep Hahn restrained and had dragged her off to the far corner of the room out of the way. A few of the occupants of the bar had helped Teddy, Tim, Hunt and Cristina keep the other Alliance soldiers under control.
The brawl continued to rage on around the couple as drunken people used the interruption to fight amongst themselves. Callie turned Arizona onto her side and tried to keep the woman steady as she continued to convulse under her touch. Looking up quickly Callie shouted over to Teddy for help as she saw George entered the room to see why there were so many people fleeing. As she motioned over to him, she continued to hold Arizona tightly until she started to feel the blonde's body ease slightly. As George arrived he knelt down and removed his jacket, balling it up he placed it under Arizona's head to give support.
"O'Malley, I need you to go find Addison! Don't let her come in here; Hahn can't know that she has anything to do with us. She's probably with Sloan, so I need you to get her…eh I would knock first! Can you tell her to gather any stuff together as quickly as she can and meet us at the transport? We need to take care of Hahn so we can get a good head start." As George made to get up, Callie grabbed his arm to stop him. "Thank you George."
Teddy rushed over and grabbed her computer from her bag.
"Teddy, what's happening?" Callie all but cried out as she continued to hold the now motionless women steady.
"Sssssssshhhhhh!"Teddy sat with her computer in her hands furiously typing away; she was so engrossed in finding an answer that she didn't see the distressed look she'd received from the Latina.
"Did the chip trip, did it trigger…Teddy, what the hell is going on!" Callie continued to pester the computer genius, as her panic overflowed.
"Sssshhhhhh!"
"Seriously if you tell me to be quiet one more time I will bury you in the ground, you said she was fine? YOU SAID YOU STOPPED THE CHIP FROM BEING GLITCHY?" Callie couldn't stop herself, when things came down to Arizona all sensible thought went out the window.
"Callie…Please just…!" Teddy looked to Callie with so much pain in her features that Callie realised she wasn't helping, leaning back onto her heels she raised her hands in surrender, she could see that this was killing Teddy.
Turning the screen around to show Callie, the brunette looked at the stiletto of a body, flashing red lights scattered across the screen in time with Arizona's convulsing that had started back up again.
"The chip is failing; it doesn't seem to be anything that we can control right now. When I was in earlier I set this up so we could track any changes, I knew there was a possibility something could go wrong. I just hoped it wouldn't be this soon. Everything they did to her was a trial, she's a test subject…she needs surgery to sever the link. The chip is malfunctioning, it's trying to fire data into every nerve that it's connected to that's what's causing the convulsions…we need to get her to the hospital…Callie how are we going to get her to the hospital? We can't just show up…Callie she needs surgery!" the normally unflappable woman started to show panic, Teddy buried her head in her hands.
"Ok…Ok…We can do this…" Callie closed her eyes. "We can do this!" trying to control her emotions as Arizona started to come to.
"Callie, the light hurts…what happened? The light, it feels so violent?" Callie watched Arizona's eyes slowly become blue again as they became responsive to the light, every bat of her lashes revealed a brighter shade of blue.
"Hey can you sit up, we need to get moving…we need to make a plan." Teddy and Callie helped the blonde as she nodded her head and tried to move herself.
"Did she get a hit at me? Coz I feel as though she did…or did she dropped a cartoon piano on my head, or an anvil? What happened…and who the hell does she think she is touching my girlfriend like that?" Arizona groggily got to her feet, gladly taking the help she was receiving from the other women.
"Girlfriend really? So you didn't know who that was? You were just defending my honour from her?" Callie smirked at the dazed blonde in front of her.
"Wait! Who is she? I just saw some idiot with her hands and body all over you, and Yang was just on the other side of the bar looking like she was watching a carnival attraction…mouth any wider and I would have thought she'd been Tasered" Arizona giggled as she tried to stretch out the pain.
"Arizona, that's would be Erica Hahn, the assassin hired to get you and no she didn't even get a punch thrown sweetie, your chip…it's tripping! We need to get out of here. But first I need to deal with…"Callie was broken from her chain of thought as she spotted something familiar on the TV screen behind the bar.
"Turn that up…TURN THE TV UP!" Callie shouted to anybody that would listen to her as she watched images of the settlement in flames, the bodies of her friends being dragged from the burning building. The caption underneath read "Earlier today the Resistance has attacked another innocent Alliance settlement during midday worship, many lives have been lost."
Callie looked over to Bailey who was actually sitting on the back of one of the Alliance officers, the other five were tied up using various things but obviously the group had run out forcing Bailey into her current position. Bailey's brow was creased as she shook her head, watered eyes not wanting to believe what she was hearing or seeing.
The group continued to watch in disbelief at the images that flashed on screen, burned down camps, burned down settlements all with messages of "The Resistance LIVES, Alliance shall DIE!" written on walls in what could only be assumed was blood.
Erica couldn't help but release the laughter she had been holding since the groups shocked expressions had taken hold. As Preston Burkes fake remorse filled words filled the air she continued to enjoy the look of horror on the brunette's face.
"We are devastated to report that YES, our way of life is under attack again from these heartless monsters. Someone I have trusted, a man that I had held in the highest regard… I have taken care of his family. I gave them a better life. This man has decided to go against the American people, against the World but we will make him pay and anyone else that is working with him. Major Robbins will pay for his betrayal The Resistance will fail as it did the last time. We will not let them win…" his voice disappeared as the TV exploded into bits as Callie's rage got the better of her, she had picked up the nearest bar stool and had hurled it at the offending man's face.
Pulling her gun from her shoulder holster an enraged Latina bounded towards the laughing assassin.
"You got any bullets in that gun?" Karev asked as he had seen that Callie had actually taken her gun out. Callie always went for the Taser no matter what, this time anger had taken control over her.
"Enough to make her rattle like a change purse!" Callie pulled the still laughing woman to her feet as she slammed her against the wall in one very easy anger filled movement. The anger had seemed to give Callie all the strength she needed. Almost touching nose to nose, Callie moved all her body weight into keeping the woman against the wall as she brought the gun to Hahn's head.
"Just give me an excuse to pull the fucking trigger you snake!"
"You don't have it in you, you don't have the balls and you know it…you're not like me, death is my job." Erica still laughing continued to tease the woman, she had known enough about her that she knew that there was no way Callie would ever kill someone who was incapable of fighting back.
"Your family is dead, and you can't even take it out on me…You are pathetic, how have you ever survived in the world?"
Teddy had to stop Bailey from getting up, her anger had boiled over. It wasn't just Callie's family gone; Webber and the O'Malley's were hers too. If Callie couldn't shoot her, Bailey would have no problem doing it. As she fought to get past Teddy, the soldier she had been sitting on tried to get up, he quickly received a steel toe capped boot to the face for his troubles, he wasn't an issue after that as his unconscious body stilled. Just as Bailey was about to break free from Teddy's grasp, George ran back into the room.
"Callie, it's a set up…Mum and Webber they've been taken, they're still alive…Burkes had Robbins set up, one of the villagers told me!" Callie snapped her head around at the relieved looking man, and when she returned her gaze to the assassin she got all the confirmation she needed as the evil smirk had fallen from her face.
Callie smirked back at the woman before bringing a powerful blow with the butt of her gun on to the side of the woman's head knocking her unconscious. Dropping her to the ground like a piece of garbage, Callie turned to Bailey.
"Bailey are you ok? I need you to pull it together; we need anything you have in the medical supplies that will keep this lot out for a while. We need to get some distance between us and them." Callie kept her voice steady and authoritarian trying to snap Bailey from her daze. With a nod of acceptance Bailey extracted her arm from Teddy's grip and left to get the supplies.
"Tim you need to do whatever it is that you do to get your dad to contact us. Joe, do you have rope behind that bar…anything that we could tie that bitch up with?" Callie watched as Joe disappeared and then reappeared holding a rope and some handcuffs.
"Handcuffs really?" Karev smirked at the bar man.
"Hey, I work in a bar with drunken asses like you; every now and again I have to take matters into my own hands." Joe threw the items over to Tim who pulled Hahn's arms and legs behind her and tied the rope tightly on her limbs. He finished it off by linking the hand cuffs through the rope around both hands and feet. Once finished he straightened and started to press buttons on his watch.
"Ok, I've sent my dad the signal he'll contact Teddy! What are we going to do with this lot?" directing his comment to Callie, Tim looked down at one of the soldiers and caught a strange look, a flicker of something across the man's eyes. In seeing this Tim turned and made towards Karev and whispered to the man as he heard Callie tell the group what she wanted to happen.
"George, I take it Addie and Mark are doing what was asked?" Callie continued when George nodded in confirmation, "OK is there somewhere out of the way that we can hide these guys, once Bailey comes back we can drug them it will give us at least a day before they wake. God knows how long before someone finds them." Everyone in their group accepted Callie's plan.
"Yeah, I know somewhere they can be taken and left…there are some caves a couple of hours drive out of the way I can take them to, it will give you guy's some extra time." George spoke quietly to Callie so that the remaining soldiers didn't hear him.
Karev moved back over to the soldier that Tim had talked to him about, getting right into his face Karev kicked the man and pulled him to his feet.
"Do you know what this is?" Tim showed the red ball to the soldier who quickly nodded his head in the affirmative, fear and panic took control of his face. The other soldiers looked on with fear in their eyes too as Karev forced the soldier's mouth open. Callie looked over at her two companions with confusion as she heard the coughing and spluttering from the soldier but decided to let her people do their thing without question.
"This is modified so that the explosion won't be as big but it will definitely turn you into pink mist floating in the wind…so I suggest do not bite down." Tim forced the ball in the man's mouth and pulled him from the room, Karev followed as Bailey came running past them with the drugs in her bag. Bailey looked at Callie who just shrugged and ushered her to go ahead and give their captives the drugs.
"So! Callie all alone in the bar, without you after a very public sexual exit! What's wrong with that? Are you ok? Did she do something to you…Do you want me to kick her ass?" Cristina leaned over the table that Arizona was seated at, after having been very forcibly told she had to sit and stay by a very over protective Latina. That same Latina was currently helping Bailey stick needles into the soldiers.
Arizona was confused; Yang was being nice to her.
"Did she get you pregnant, and then leave you?" and there it was as Yang deadpanned.
"Yang! Leave Arizona alone." Cristina spun around and came face to face with a very pissed off Brunette.
"It's just sooooo easy, and come on our battery supply was taking a major hit while you weren't getting any. I can redirect the money for alcohol if she's keeping your motor oiled!" Cristina walked away to get herself another drink before Callie reached her, she needed a drink. When Hahn came in she had sobered up very quickly, and she wasn't going to let the bitch take her drinking time from her. She'd been waiting days for the stinging taste of tequila to hit the back of her throat.
"Ok spit it out!" Tim let go of the soldier and sat him down on the stair case as the boy spat the ball out of his mouth. As he looked at the ball in his hand closer he let out the panicked breath he'd been holding as he realised the red ball was just a red rubber ball. It had done the job, he and the other soldiers had thought it was the explosive but now on closer inspection he could see the cracks in the rubber and that the colour was slightly redder than it should have been. He was grateful for Tim's quick thinking in not outing him in front of the other men, this way he can help without worrying that they knew he was a traitor. Throwing the ball back to Karev he visibly let go of all the tension in his body as Karev sniggered.
"Sir…Private Sam Hatton, Sir. I was placed in Hahn's team by your father to spy, any information I obtained I was to report back to him or you if we crossed paths. Burke has no idea how many people your father has working for him, so when the orders came in for this unit it was intercepted by…I take it we are going by The Resistance now? Well I was ordered to be the mole." Looking Tim in the eyes he continued.
"The prisoners taken from the settlement are in a compound not too far from here, we were on our way there. Hahn had been told to interrogate the man for clues about Torres and what she was on her way here for; the woman was just added leverage. I think Burke was hoping it was the Major you were meeting up with and he was hoping Hahn could intercept. I can give you the co-ordinates; there are only a handful of guards so you should be able to get to them easily enough." Tim looked at the soldier suspiciously, he was in his early twenties, caring eyes with ginger hair and seemed genuine enough, but he would wait until his father had called Teddy back.
"Ok, how did Hahn know we were here?" Tim asked the boy.
"Coincidence Sir, we were just looking for a bed for the night. The Duenna's place is used a lot by Alliance soldiers; it's always been a place where people turn the other way. Burke ordered us to co-ordinates in the Deadlands, when we arrived we picked Hahn up."
"What vehicle did you come here in?" Tim was surprised when Callie stuck her head out into the corridor. She scrunched her eyes as she looked at the boy soldier sitting on the steps, casually talking with her men.
"Tim, your father's online, everyone's been given the drugs so if you want the boy to be included in the drug cocktail you better move we need to pick up the pace!" Tim held his hand up trying to get Callie to give him a minute.
"What's going on?" Callie was starting to lose patience again.
"We came here in a Mi-17 helicopter, that's why we caught up with you!" Sam watched as Tim's eyes brightened with a smile.
"Tim…they're the same copters that they use for the Medevac's aren't they, it's just a different colour?" Callie watched as Tim motioned for the soldier to follow them back into the room.
"Yes and guess what I can fly?" Tim smiled at Callie as he walked past her.
Callie smirked as a plan started to formulate in her mind; she followed the men back into the room thinking 'Thank you Erica Hahn!'
"Major, this boy is he in allegiance with us or am I to let Karev kick the crap out of him for lying to my face?" Tim nudged the boy in front of the camera so that his father could look.
"At ease Tim, Private Hatton is one of ours" Major Robbins gave a small smile as the red headed boy saluted him and stepped back out of the way so Tim could carry on the conversation. "What is your position?" The Major finished, as Tim sucked in air this was going to be a long explanation.
"Sir, we have run into Hahn obviously…we have them under control though. That's not what the problem is, Arizona needs help. Teddy says she needs surgery, so we need to get her to a hospital and we need a Neurologist…and it's not as though we can just go walking on in with her?" Tim questioned his father as he heard Callie mumble.
"Maybe we can…I mean we have the helicopter!"
"Callie, what?" Tim turned to the brunette with a quizzical look on his face.
"I mean, we could break into the hospital…we have the medevac, we just have to do a bit of modification with the colour. We can get some paramedic uniforms and take Arizona in as a patient!" Callie said getting more excited, that her plan could work.
"Erm, you have security to get by! They will shoot you on sight as soon as they scan her and you?" Tim voiced his opinion.
"Tim it could work…I can hijack into the computer system and feed them other information when you are scanned!" Teddy smiled back at the two when she saw Tim make a speculative expression; she raised her eye brow in defiance. "I AM THAT GOOD!"
"I believe this could work, and to be honest it's our best chance…Tim you can fly, so you and Callie can take Arizona to Mercy Grace, they have the best neurologist about, I have had dealings with Derek Shepard before. We can count on him, but you'll need to make it look as though you are forcing him, if you get caught. His wife is Burke's receptionist and my insider, and nothing must get back to Burke that looks as though the good Doctor had any involvement." Major Robbins paused for a moment before he continued.
"We have set up base in the Deadlands; I will send you the co-ordinates once the final preparations have been taken care of. Burke is stepping up his plans to frame us and get public opinion behind him. We have to bide our time until we have enough information to bring him down, we know the camps have been used for human testing we are just trying to gather enough information. Now that Hahn has been slowed down by you, I can get some troops to the remaining camps, get the prisoners out and help gather any data that can help Teddy. My special ops team is nearly done in getting to your mother, they are in the position they're just assessing the situation at the moment to determine when it will be safe to go and contain the situation. Word of mouth is spreading that the Resistance is rising; we are getting more and more followers each day, but please continue to be wary of everyone and just trust each other. I will contact you again shortly, I'm sure you'll have this situation under control son. Good luck!" And with that the major logged off leaving a room full of people trying to catch up with the conversation.
"Hey guys you'll never guess what…there's a fucking helicopter out there…we can steal iiitt…eh what happened in here?" Mark with his T-shirt above his head came bursting into the room; the largest grin on his face very quickly fell as he noticed the destruction around him.
"Sloan can you go get Addie we need to make some plans? I want everyone in here in 10 minutes, go gather your stuff quickly and I'll explain what's happening and everyone's roles?" Callie watched as each one of her group got up and bustled to life. Moving over to the seat Arizona was still slumped in she sat down in front of the blonde.
"Hey! How are you doing?" she whispered
"I feel like I need to sleep, my heads heavy but I don't have any pain at the moment I just feel tired." Arizona replied groggily.
"It's ok, rest your eyes, I've got you…I told you I'm not letting you go, I love you and I will get you to the hospital." Callie watched as the blue eyes continued to dull, as though the colour was draining out of them until Arizona closed them, drifting off into her own thoughts.
"I've got you…I have got you!" Callie stood and placed a kiss on Arizona's forehead then tried to make her as comfortable as she could.
"Arizona…Please, tell me? There is no judgement here, I am here for you. Please let me help you let go of whatever it is that has such a hold on you"
Callie pulled the blonde from her hiding place in the crook of her neck. Arizona still kept her eyes down; she couldn't bear to see the judgement in Callie's eyes. Arizona had been holding on to her demons for so long by herself that they lived in the depths of her mind. She managed to keep them at bay throughout the day, but at night in the darkness that's when the ghouls and the monsters would come to play.
"I killed a doctor, NO I MURDERED a doctor! I took a pen and I jammed it in his throat!" Arizona continued to keep her eyes away from Callie's.
She was waiting for the empty feeling to hit her, that moment of recoil, when the woman in her arms would turn and leave but it never came she just felt the grip get tighter. She knew she had to let go of this, if she was ever going to get on top of her feelings she knew she needed help, she knew that Callie could help her she couldn't leave the past behind without the support of the brunette.
"Did you mean to kill him? Knowing you…he had to have done something for you to react?"
This was now the time, to move on in her life, she had to let the demon go. She had to claim back what had been taken from her. Sucking in some air she slowly raised her head to meet Callie's soulful brown eyes seeing nothing but compassion; she felt brave enough to continue.
"For years he…he touched me, I mean…inappropriately, he put his hands…his lips on me against my will. My body at times would react, it made me feel dirty. I mean that was all it was, touching but I couldn't take it anymore and one day I just…I just…I made him stop…I made HIM stop." Callie watched as Arizona's eyes filled with tears, the water made her eyes shine, bright blue eyes letting the light escape, the fear, the pain leave her.
"I need you to make that a good feeling again, I don't want to feel like that it's a dirty thing…I need you to help me take that back, can you take that feeling away…Please!" Arizona looked straight at Callie pleading with her as she sobbed gently.
"I can't promise that what we create won't be associated with dirty, very dirty." Callie gave a naughty smile and took the now sobbing woman in her arms. "What I can promise you is that I will do everything in my power to help you to replace that feeling with happier ones, but I need you to…when you are struggling, tell me what your issues are and I will try to help you. We will hit the restart button, you deserve to wipe the slate clean…from this moment on you are taking YOU back. You are not the monster that they tried to create." Callie slowly moved Arizona's hair from her neck, the gentle brush of her hand sent Arizona's senses scrambling throughout her body.
"YOU ARE IN MY HEAD"
Callie started to slowly kiss Arizona's forehead, lightly brushing her lips on the soft skin, working her way down to the tip of her nose, leaving a quick kiss she moved to kiss away Arizona's tears. Making her way slowly to her mouth Callie started to kiss the blonde with all the passion and love she could project in a simple kiss.
Arizona hadn't even noticed that she was slowly moving, she was so lost in the feelings that Callie was creating in her that she never realised she was moving toward the bed. She felt herself tense up and her breath hitched as she felt the draft at her back, Callie's finger tips ghosted over her skin blindly in search of the zipper keeping her dress attached to her body.
As the dress hit the floor, the air rushed around her body creating another wave of arousal that coursed through her body just as the back of her legs hit the bed.
"YOU ARE IN MY HEART"
Callie pushed Arizona down on to the bed and placed a kiss above her heart. The blonde leant back on her elbows and watched as Callie straightened herself, never removing eye contact as she reached for her own dress zipper, allowing it to fall to the ground. Arizona took in the beautiful sight of darker flawless skinned woman in just her underwear, another wave of desire stirred in her stomach.
"Move up the bed, please?" she whispered into the blonde's ear as she knelt in between Arizona's legs. Smiling as Arizona started to move, Callie followed her on all fours, stalking her. Both women with their own body temperature rising, they were glad that they were both out of their clothes restrictions. Callie really wanted to remove all barriers but she knew she would have to take this slow, slow was good…really good, but this was torture for the brunette as she had to control her urge just to take the woman. This wasn't about Callie it was what she wanted, this was for Arizona.
"You need to promise me, that you will tell me to stop if you need me to."
Callie watched as Arizona agreed and tried to make herself comfy in the explosion of cushions around her head. Once Callie was happy that Arizona was indeed ready she manoeuvred herself so she was kneeling at her feet. Lifting the blonde's right leg Callie began to gently kiss and start to slowly trail kisses down her leg from toes working to the top of her thigh. Every now and again Callie let her tongue sneak out and taste the skin. This caused Arizona to close her eyes and get lost in the feeling, relaxing her body and mind, letting every other thought leave her head. Nothing remained apart from Calliope, her Calliope.
As she reached the inside of the blonde's thigh, Callie resisted the urge to remove the panties that were the last barrier to the blondes centre and moved onto Arizona's abdomen. Callie could smell the blonde's arousal as she passed and it made her head spin, crawling up the woman slowly peppering her with kisses, licks and nips. Callie made sure that the only places not touched at this moment were the blondes centre and her breasts. From what Arizona had told her she didn't want to overload the blonde and startle her.
Reaching the blondes neck, Callie lifted her gaze and kept her eyes on her partners closed eyes as she placed herself so that centres met with thighs and breasts pressed together.
"Baby I need you to see me; I need you to see that it's me that's touching you!"
Callie watched as Arizona's eyes opened at the feeling of their bodies pressing together, she let out a small gasp as the feeling coursing through her was intense. Bright blue eyes starred into loving dark brown ones as instinct took over and both women began to move slowly together, fitting perfectly together moving as one, grinding in sync.
As the rest of the group entered back into the bar, they noticed that Callie, Tim and Arizona were sitting at the table talking. It had now been about two hours since the fighting had erupted just before midnight.
George had sent everyone away including staff as it was now 2 am, a Duenna's home was never closed so George had sent the staff away with the message that there was a sickness virus spreading. It wouldn't stop word travelling back to the Alliance but it would throw them for a while.
The unconscious prisoners lay bundled together in the corner of the room after Callie was satisfied that Bailey's drug cocktail would keep them out for at least twenty four hours. Tim had filled Callie in on what Private Hatton had informed him about her family and they had spent the time the group had been away detailing a working plan.
"Ok guy's this is the plan. This is the point where you walk away if you're not up to it I can't carry dead weight…so be honest, this is not gonna be easy and I don't expect any of you to just accept what we intend to do." Callie waited for everyone to take her words in.
"Tim, Arizona, Teddy and I are going to infiltrate the hospital. We need to change the green paint work to the navy of the Medevac's and we need to get three paramedic uniforms. Teddy will stay in the helicopter and work her computer magic. Tim and I will take Arizona in as a patient. Teddy we need you to get the floor plan of Mercy Grace so we can decide our game plan, so can you get working on that please." Callie watched Teddy smile and move off to a table with her computer.
Karev I need you to follow us in the roadrunner, we'll more than likely need a quick exit so I need you to be getaway…and bring guns!" Karev grinned and did a mock salute which made Callie smile at his playing the hard man.
"Ok George said he was going to deal with Hahn, though I'm not too happy about sending you out there, it's just a hide and drop…" Callie was cut off by the young ginger haired soldier.
"Ma'am, Please I want to help, so allow me to do that…I have combat training if something goes wrong a civilian should not be left to do that?" Sam almost pleaded; Callie had no idea wither to trust the boy. Looking to Tim for confirmation which she got quickly she smiled toward the boy.
"Okay then, but you will hide them then get outta there you got it! There should be a vehicle outside that we can borrow. Once you've completed that go into hiding until you're contacted with the Resistance base co-ordinates, we will see you there…oh and it's Callie, I DO NOT like ma'am okay?" Callie laughed at the boy's embarrassment.
"Yes ma'am, I mean Callie…ma'am!" The soldier slumped his shoulders as everyone else sniggered at his floundering.
"Okay that leaves Bailey, Hunt, Yang, Addison and Sloan…I'm sorry to ask you to do this and I understand if you decline. I can't ask you to risk you're life for me but…these are the co-ordinates for were they are keeping Webber and Mama O'Malley. There are four guards at the compound; I would go myself but…" Callie handed over the co-ordinates to Bailey who she knew wouldn't think twice about the mission for once.
"I'm going with them, I'm helping. That's my mother so you're taking me with you, Bailey I'm with you!" George stepped toward Bailey with the shorter woman nodding her head.
Callie watched as Addison stepped from her resting spot against the bar, the thoughtful look on her face made Callie think this was one thing the redhead wouldn't help with. Addison caught Callie's sadness across her eyes.
"Oh no, I'm in girlfriend. I just…I might have a solution to your paramedic uniforms?" Addison smirked as Callie raised an eyebrow. "Just put it this way, people have an issue with misplacing clothing in this place, and I'm sure we definitely have what you need." Addison finished with a grin.
"Ok. I trust, that since nobody has said no you're all in…so Bailey you call it, you always have good, safe plans, it's just me that likes to cause mischief. Yang can you give us a hand with the Helicopter modifications." Callie looked on appreciably as her gang went about their tasks, working together as a family.
Six hours later Callie, Tim, Teddy and Arizona arrived at the landing strip for the hospital. It was now 8 am and according to the hospital's schedule for Dr Shepard, he was in his office. Being the most difficult task to complete the group had taken their time to make sure they would have a hopefully successful mission, running through every plan and hospital protocol that would possibly get in the way.
Private Hatton was the first to leave five hours before so Callie knew the boy would be in hiding by now; he was taking the captives to the caves a few hours out. They were far enough away from the public traffic that the caves were the perfect hiding spot for the assassin and her men even when they were awake it was very unlikely that they could escape and that anybody would come across them.
Bailey had gathered up her group and told them her plan setting everyone off in various directions, weapons check and the like. Addison was going to be a major player in the plan being a Duenna and Callie was not in a good mood about it.
While Cristina set about spray painting the helicopter she and Callie had a not so subtle conversation as to why Callie was in the bar after only a few hours of being away, unfortunately in front of a mortified Tim. Cristina's persistent refusal not to let go of the said subject, was slowly sending the brunette to boiling point. Cristina had decided that the two women would be at it like bunnies all night and her trying to get the truth had resulted in a very agitated Latina losing her temper at the meddling mechanic and it caused her to shout her answer for all to hear.
"I made her come so hard that being her first time…she needed a moment, Cristina!" this had only resulted in the mechanic receiving a black eye when she replied that it was more information than she needed to know. Yang had accepted the black eye as worth it, she did like getting under the skin of her friend.
Bailey and her group were sent away with good lucks and best wishes thrown amongst them, as no one admitted their fear that maybe not all of them would make it back. Everyone had agreed to keep in contact through their own scrambled signal when their mission had been completed.
Arizona had gotten herself a little annoyed when she seemed to spot a moment between Callie and Addison. Callie had made her way around everyone, pulling each into a tight bone crushing hug and imparting her own good lucks. However something about the way Callie touched the red head, held on longer than everyone else and the fact she had tried to fight Bailey's plan earlier to keep Addison out of the potential firing line, had just seemed to rub the blonde the wrong way.
Teddy had quickly told the blonde that she was just feeling a little thing call jealousy as she was aware that Callie and Addison had previous history. Teddy had told her to suck it up and welcome to a little thing called love, it did messy things with your head. Arizona was grateful to the older woman for taking the time to talk her down from her ledge. The two continued to talk as Callie waved off her family and came back to listen about them when they were younger and all the things they used to get up to when they were kids all while Arizona lay on the stretcher and Teddy applied the blood they had stolen from Bailey's medical supplies.
An hour after they'd split they now sat going over last minute plans in front of the emergency entrance, Karev sat back out of sight just waiting for the word. It was now or never and for Arizona's sake it had to be now.
Fixing their uniforms and pulling their hats down to cover their eyes a little they pushed the doors open, Callie and Tim got out of the fake Medevac and wheeled Arizona's blooded body down the ramp and through the doors to the hospital.
Teddy sat in the back of the helicopter watching through a camera that was placed at the top of the fake id's she had made for them. "Ok show time Teddy; let's show them how good you really are." She let out one final breath as she watched them approach the security desk.
"We have a Jane Doe, hit and run victim…pulse is weak, vitals are about stable for the moment." Tim spoke then looked at Callie who shrugged and both looked toward the uncaring security guard, who didn't even look up he just asked for them to hold their right hands up.
Callie's hand was scan first, he looked down at the screen and then at Callie and then repeated with Tim. Teddy was in furiously typing codes into the hospitals computer system, to make sure true identities stayed hidden.
"Patients hand, come on I haven't got all day and by the looks of her she doesn't either!" The man sighed as he scanned Arizona's hand, Callie closed her eyes waiting for the alarms to sound, when nothing happened and the man waved them through all Callie though was that maybe this could go without too much of a problem.
Now that they were through security they just had to find Dr Shepard office now through the mazes of corridors. Teddy directed them the best she could using the blueprints she had access to.
"The signal's coming from in there, Sir!"
Descending on the cave Avery couldn't believe that he had the bad luck of being the nearest Alliance unit in the area. When he had got the call from Burke that Hahn's detection signal was in the same spot for more than 2 hours Burke had made the call for someone to get to her as she hadn't checked in and Hahn always reported back to Burke every 2 hours like clockwork, he had left it so long as he did know how she could get sometimes and this was definitely a mission she had submerged herself in.
There was another sand storm in the surrounding area so that had meant that they had had to drive there as the helicopter was of no use. So Avery dragged his ass up to the cave to see what the damage was, silently hoping that she was dead so he didn't get the brunt of her anger.
Moving over to the motionless bodies he was trying not to show that he was secretively happy, until he heard the snoring. Rolling his eyes he went into his bag and pulled the scanner from it, jabbing the prong end into Hahn's arm he waited a couple of seconds for the beep before he took it out and read the results. Moving back into his bag he pulled out a syringe and a couple of glass drug bottles, adding the drug concoction to the syringe and injecting the assassin.
Erica opened her eyes within seconds, looked at Avery and told him to get Burke on the wire.
"Sir where is the nearest Hospital, the Robbins girl is in need of medical attention I guess they'll be headed there…who's the neurologist, that's where they'll be Sir!" Erica hissed at her boss as she groggily got to her feet.
"Mercy Grace, I'll deal with the Doctor. Hahn you just get yourself to the Hospital as quick as you can, Avery here and his men will assist. Erica, are you alright?" Burke liked Hahn she was loyal, so in some twisted way they cared what the other thought.
"I will be once I teach Torres a lesson in life! I'll contact you again once at the hospital Sir!"
Hahn looked over to the rest of the men lying in a heap, and shook her head. "Untie them but leave them, sorry excuses for soldiers…let civilians get the upper hand." Erica hissed at Avery at left the cave. Avery motioned to his men to do what she said and followed his commander in charge out.
The office was dark; blinds were drawn as the good doctor rested his eyes for a few seconds before his shift started. His phone ringing brought him from his thoughts, as he answered he straightened and listened intently to the voice of authority on the other end.
"Yes, I understand what you're asking me to do. Uh huh Torres and Robbins got it…Yes sir, leave it to me, no Sir she won't be an issue, they won't know. It will look like an accident. I'll take care of it so she won't make it off the table."
Placing the phone back down on the receiver, Derek sat looking at the ceiling of his office. He didn't dare look at the walls, the walls were plastered with certificates of prestige, they reminded him of who he was…could he possibly, and knowingly do what had been asked of him. He was a surgeon not a soldier, he didn't play with lives like that and he certainly didn't do what was being asked of him if he could help it.
Moving his hand through his hair he sat and waited for his part in this insane reality that his world had quickly become. Waiting for them to arrive, to play his part, he ran through his instructions in his head as he planned how this would develop.
That's when he heard the tap at his office door and then watched it open revealing a female paramedic.
"Doctor Shepard, My name's Callie Torres. I have a little story to tell and we need your help to fix it" As the door open wider, Derek saw a male paramedic and a blonde woman lying on a stretcher.
"Yes, come in I've been expecting you."
Derek listened intently to the cut down version of what had happened. Teddy had a video chat with him explaining exactly everything that she had found out, more of it actually made sense to the neuro surgeon than it did Teddy. She understood the computer part but the nerve part Derek definitely shed some light on. Between the two of them they had quickly worked out that the chip could be treated exactly the same as he would treat someone with a tumour. Detangling it and disconnecting it from the nerves, would be hard though. His worry was that by doing that he couldn't be sure that Arizona would be the same person after that.
He explained the risks to the blonde, but she had just waved him off and told them that this had to happen because the pain from the chip tripping would eventually kill her anyway she may as well do it on her terms.
"Ok, then let's get to this then…I need to phone down to the OR and I have a few people I need to get in the theatre with me. I'll bring my laptop with me and set it up so that your computer friend can keep me right if I get in there and it looks more like an internal drive on my computer than a nervous system. You can scrub in, scrub caps and masks will hide your identities." Derek couldn't believe it when he was told about the tests done on Arizona, he was actually interested to see it from a Doctors point of view, but from a humane point of view he was appalled.
As a Surgeon they had often been told they had God complex's but this was different this was someone trying to mess with people not just trying to prevent death.
"Right we should be ready to go in about 10 minutes, I take it if we're found out a little rough handedness will be used to hide that I'm helping you…My wife tells me the joys of working for Burke and I don't need for him to take anything out on Meredith!"
"You have our word, we'll hit you if need be" Callie smiled at the man, and then drew her attention back to the Arizona's hand that she had been clutching to the whole conversation.
"Oh you'll definitely want to do more than hit me." Derek mumbled under his breath as he finalised his plans.
"Ok are we ready?" Derek stood above Arizona as he looked down at the woman with sadness in his own blue eyes. He watched as she nodded, she squeezed Callie's hand and brought it to her mouth and laid a kiss on it.
Callie leaned over the blonde and laid her own lips on her forehead, kissing her gently she pulled away and kissed her lips before they looked into each other's eyes. No-one wanted to say the words of fear that had them by the throat. They didn't want to admit that this might possibly be the last time they got to look into each other's eye.
"You are amazing!" Arizona mouthed to the brunette who was trying to reign in her emotions.
"Arizona can you count back from ten for me" Shepard looked to the gas man to push the drugs as Arizona began.
"Ten…nine…eigh…t…se…ven…s…x…"
"Ok people it's a beautiful day to save lives!" He had to believe that doing this he was saving lives, he was helping.
"Are you ok baby, you know it's still me right?" Callie waited for Arizona to confirm, still looking deep into each other's eyes. "Ok tell me to stop if you need to, we go at your pace"
Callie took Arizona's mouth with her lips, dipping her tongue into her mouth the blonde copied her which allowed for Callie to gently suck on Arizona's tongue as it was presented to her. Callie shifted her weight to the side slightly, she still kept pressure in all the right places but this allowed her the support to bring her hand up and tease the blonde's breasts. Callie felt Arizona try to arch into the touch but Callie's weight on top of her just sent more pressure direct to their centres.
Once Callie was happy that Arizona was fine with the attention she was receiving, the brunette snuck her hand under Arizona releasing the blonde from her bra. Callie pulled away from Arizona and knelt up; she kept constant eye contact while she released the clip from her own bra and removed it dropping it to the floor.
Arizona watched as the brunette placed her hands at the top of the hem of her own lace panties she slowly started to trail them down her legs. Arizona breath hitched as she took in Callie in all her god given beauty.
Callie dipped her head and looked to Arizona's body taking in every inch of skin on show. Leaning over, Callie positioned herself above the blonde bringing her mouth down to place a light kiss on the blondes breast, as she pulled away slowly she closed her lips on the nipple pulling it slightly before it realised. Watching as it hardened Callie blew on it and received a moan of appreciation. After spending the same amount of time on the other breast, Callie slowly kissed her way down Arizona's abdomen and began to remove her panties.
Callie felt Arizona shift so she stopped her motion quickly to check that the blonde was alright. Looking up the body underneath her, Callie was met with blue eyes watching her. Arizona had decided she wanted to watch what Callie was doing, the feeling Callie was creating in her was intense and she thought that she would explode the moment Callie touched her there. Her clit was tight and throbbing and she could feel the excitement bubble in her stomach.
Arizona now on her elbows had a good view of the brunette making herself comfortable between the blonde's thighs. Settling, Callie brought her hands up to hold on to the thighs at the side of her head, she adjusted herself so that when she licked up Arizona's slick lips her eyes eventually met with the blondes. Callie watched as Arizona opened her mouth and released a guttural noise that seemed to come from her deep within, the feeling took over her senses. That's when Arizona put her head back and lowered herself onto the bed below again losing herself to the feelings Callie was creating. She thought her arms would give out if she didn't as the feeling of Callie's tongue slowly drawing circles around her very tight and throbbing clit was driving her insane. Every now and again Callie would add pressure with the flat of her tongue, making Arizona buck her hips trying to get friction she needed.
Sensing that Arizona was close Callie could feel the twitching in her lover's thighs as her body desperately tried to release the built up tension. She brought one finger to Arizona's entrance while she continued to lick and suck the moisture into her mouth. Swirling her finger around Callie looked up to see if she could gauge the blonde's reaction, she smiled from her place between the spread legs as Arizona lifted herself up in search of more, all the encouragement she needed.
Arizona was lost; the feeling had taken control of her. She had never thought that this could feel so good, Callie was just taking her time, all fear that this was a bad feeling had left her. Callie had removed that fear from her and she was enjoying every moment. She felt herself hold her breath as she felt Callie's finger circle her, she didn't know what to expect but she was so lost in Callie that she knew that her love wouldn't hurt her. Feeling Callie stop slightly she realised that the brunette was showing some trepidation so she raised her hips to tell Callie to continue, she tried to speak but she couldn't form the words, moans and whimpers were all that left her mouth.
"Baby just relax, keep breathing don't hold your breath" The feeling of Callie talking, her breath on her clit, there was no words to describe the senses that it invoked. Trying to wet her lips, Arizona realised just how dry her mouth had become it had appeared that Callie had redirected all moisture to where she was currently positioned.
Arizona found herself whimpering, she felt the sense of loss when Callie took her mouth away. Callie never stopped teasing her entrance with her fingers as she repositioned herself next to her. Looking into the Latina's eyes Arizona watched as Callie smirked and gave the blonde a kiss, Arizona tasted herself on the lips and tongue currently attached to hers.
"Bring your leg up to rest on my thigh baby." Callie asked the blonde who complied.
Keeping eye contact Callie slowly entered Arizona with one finger, she could feel the blonde's walls contract at the invasion, not pushing too far to begin with Callie pulled out again never taking her eyes from the blondes, watching for any sign of discomfort.
Arizona had never felt anything like it before, it was a strange feeling, it was uncomfortable at first but it felt unbelievable…it felt awesome and awesome was the highest honour in Arizona vocabulary. She couldn't help but move in time with Callie, they were moving as one.
Feeling that Arizona had completely relaxed and that she wasn't finding it uncomfortable, Callie pushed into her lover a little bit harder.
"Oh God Call…iope! Oh that feels, that feels so good, oh please…please don't stop."
That was all the encouragement needed, Callie shifted herself so that she was now lying on top of Arizona, bringing her hips down every time she pushed into the blonde helping with deeper penetration. Arizona was unravelling quickly, every time Callie pushed into her she pushed back, the pressure on her engorged clit was causing it to tingle, she felt the feeling spread across her lower abdomen. With the friction beyond unbearable Callie didn't re-enter Arizona but she spread her folds and ground down on the blonde. Both women gasped at the feeling when their soaked centres touched for the first time.
Arizona's eye's opened wide looking up into Callie's they continued to move together never losing contact mind and body. Arizona held tight to Callie's hips and helped pull them down, every time their clits made contact Arizona felt her stomach contract, the buzzing started to build, it was intense.
"Ari…zona, I'm going to come, baby let go with me!" Arizona felt Callie twitch as she ground down on her and what Arizona felt next she couldn't explain, she just lost control as she felt her clit pulse and twitch also. Complete and utter panic was very quickly followed by a sense of calm as she came. It only lasted seconds but that feeling that washed over her body, brought tears to her eyes, good tears but never the less the blonde was losing more moisture than she thought possible.
Callie watched the whole time telling herself not to close her eyes; she wanted to watch Arizona come. She watched the panic in her eyes be quickly replaced with clear bright tearful eyes as her release came, that wasn't the only thing that Arizona seemed to let go of, the pain of the past left her too, they say that eyes are the window to your soul well Callie had definitely seen something in those eyes.
The two women continued to look at each other as they came down from their high; sweat covered their bodies as they tried to catch their breath.
"Well that went well. Disconnected the last connection to the chip and I've just finished clos…" Derek's sentence was cut off with flashing monitors and loud screeching noises as the alarms went crazy.
"V fib, we're losing here, get me the paddles….charge to 300!"
Derek shocked her, as Callie broke down; she made to run to her lover but Tim's strong arms kept her back. Tears flooded from her eyes as she watched Arizona's body lift from the table then fall as they attempted to restart her heart. Derek attempted four more times and nothing.
"Time of death 9.47 am, I'm so sorry." Derek stepped away as the flat line continued.
"Arizona…No…No, Arizona!" Callie's heartfelt screams drowned out the monitor's alarms.
Callie dropped to Tim's feet pulling off the scrub cap and mask as she struggled for air, starting to hyperventilate she clutched onto the trouser leg of the man and that's when she heard the laughing.
As Callie looked up through tear glazed eyes, she felt the searing pain before she heard the noise of the bullet being fired. Clutching her shoulder, her eyes cleared enough for her to make out the figure of Erica Hahn through the bullet broken glass of the OR gallery.
"I'm going to enjoy making YOU suffer" Erica grinned at Callie as she let go of the intercom button, and turned to exit.
Tim grabbed and dragged a kicking and screaming brunette from the room the last thing Callie saw was Arizona's lifeless body lying on the cold sterile table as the door closed slowly in front of her.
