Chapter: 10

Brennan the Warrior Princess;

Bones felt her head throb as she pulled back from the steering wheel. Something warm trickled down her face; she moved her hand up and touched the open wound on her forehead. Blood flowed freely down the side of her face as she looked over to see Sweets grunting and groaning without a scratch on him.

"Are you ok?" she asked him softly trying to free herself from the seatbelt.

"Yeah. You ok?"

She swallowed hard and pushed on her door, "I'm fine. We need to call for help." She pushed harder on her door until it opened. She stumbled out seeing out of the corner of her eye Lance doing the same. She could see that there were people coming at them. Knights? Ok did I fall asleep or am I in a coma or something? Am I seeing this right? She thought to herself stumbling up to her feet as she looked casually into the back seat of her car to see that the glass case tumbled over onto the floor. She looked over at Sweets and gave him a confused look.

"Are we seeing the same thing, Dr. Brennan?" he asked walking to meet her at the end of the car.

"I –I think so?" she said confused seeing three people in Knight's costumes approach with swords.

This had to be some sort of joke? Who on earth walked around dressed like this? Then it dawned on Brennan what she had in her car and what the significance of it was. These had to be friends of the victim or something?

"You have something we want." The first Knight said stepping closer to Temperance and Lance.

"I'm sorry but I can't give it to you. It's evidence in a murder case," Bones said quickly. She touched her head again feeling a little more of her blood escape from the wound. Her chest felt heavy as well. She didn't realize until now just how hard she hit the steering wheel until she took in a deep breath and an aching pain took over. She doubled over a little trying to catch her breath. She felt Sweets' hands on her shoulders.

"Dr. Brennan, are you ok?" he asked concerned while trying to keep his eye on the guys in uniform. They started to come closer and the one in front, the leader rose his sword up and let it come crashing down.

Booth drove frantically, the moment Angela said there was an accident he knew this was his fault. He should have just gone with her, bad back and all. It didn't matter, when it came to her nothing mattered. Booth could see the police cars and an ambulance up ahead. He sped up faster and parked the car half tilted in a ditch. When he hopped out of the car he felt something pull in his back, he yelped and ran towards the ambulance seeing Sweets standing there.

"What happened? Where is she?" he called out. "Bones?"

"Booth."

He turned quickly to see her sitting on the back of the ambulance truck. A paramedic whipping blood from her face. The cut looked deep, and she looked frazzled. Booth ran quickly up to her pushing Sweets aside. "Bones, what the hell happened? Are you ok?" he asked concerned.

"I'm fine. We're fine. You shouldn't be here, not with your back the way it is." She looked him in the eyes and glanced at Lance. He had a big grin plastered on his face.

He wasn't analyzing them now or anything, but the scene in front of him proved his point every time. They had something more then just a friend/partner relationship. There was way more, but they just didn't want to admit to it yet.

Booth reached up and touched her forehead as she winced and tried to pull away he gently and quickly brushed hair from her face. "Pretty deep cut you got there." He sighed and looked up at the paramedic, "she gonna need stitches?" he asked concerned.

"Just a few." The paramedic got besides her and turned her head towards him, "it's not the cut I'm worried about though," he started to say before Booth stood abruptly.

"Why what's wrong?" Booth asked looking at the both of them.

"She hit the steering wheel pretty hard when the car went into the pole," Sweets chimed in. "She was having trouble breathing there for awhile," he said studying her expression.

Bones turned her head quickly and whimpered in pain as the needed poked her forehead, "I'm fine."

"Dr. Brennan I think you should go to the hospital for x-rays just to be safe. We all know that accidents like these sometimes have long term effects, you may not feel anything now but you will later." Lance said to her leaning against the door of the ambulance.

She sighed and looked up at Booth; he looked concerned but more so angry. Booth rubbed his hand over his face and then rubbed his eyes mumbling something to himself.

"What is it Booth?"

"Didn't I tell you something like this was going to happen? I –I shouldn't have let you go!" he said more to himself then to anyone else.

Bones stood up quickly and faced him, "let me go? What am I a child?" she said almost shouting. "I'm more then capable of taking care of myself, Booth!"

"Well apparently not, Bones! If you were this wouldn't have happened -,"

"Actually she was quite warrior like!" Sweets chimed in again with a smile.

Bones and Booth both turned to him to look at him. Lance pinched his lips together, oh great I shouldn't have said anything! He looked around slowly and scratched the back of his head seeing the paramedic pull Brennan down to finish up her stitches.

"What the hell are you talking about Sweets?" Seeley asked angrily.

"Well –s –she… Dr. Brennan -," he struggled for the right words.

"Spit it out!" Booth said looking at Bones with a pissed off look on his face then back to Sweets as he started to babble again.

"There were these guys in knight costumes. You know like they wear at the conventions?" he said looking at Booth while he nodded in understanding. "They were the one's who hit us… well they had swords, I mean I know a few of those people who are hardcore into -,"

"Wait!" Booth said catching onto what he was about to say. He turned to Bones seeing her touching the new patch that covered the whole left side of her forehead as she stood. "You mean to tell me that you fought these guys?" he said throwing his hands up in the air.

Bones bit her lip some and sighed, "what was I to do Booth? Let them get the prop? I had no other choice! Its part of my job!" she said with confidence.

"Part of your job?" he chuckled, "Bones we don't fight sci-fi geeks who think they their King Arthur!" He could see her beautiful mouth open to say something before he cut her off again, "Sweets doesn't have a scratch on him." He turned to Lance, "you should have did something!"

"It doesn't matter now, Booth! Their gone." She said almost quietly.

"You let them get away?"

"Not necessarily, they kind of just took off?" she said almost hesitantly. "But I saw what kind of vehicle they had. It was a black van with some sort of symbol airbrushed on the side of it. It looked like a moon?"

"It was the Death Star."

Bones and Booth both turned to look at Lance again. He was blushing and looked embraced, "what? Can I help it if I like Star Wars?" he said crossing his arms defensively over his chest.

Booth sighed and shook his head. "They get the prop?"

"No. Agent Perotta came and already took it." Bones made a face and turned to grab her jacket from the back of the ambulance.

Booth put his hands on his hips and looked around, he turned back to Bones and took the jacket from her helping her put it on. "Let's get you home."

All three of them started to head back to the SUV as Booth put his hand on the small of Bones' back he opened her side door for her. As she started to get in Booth saw Lance smile some. Booth cocked a brow at narrowed his eyes at him, more or less giving him the 'what's so funny' look.

"You should have seen it Agent Booth!" he said almost happy like a kid. Bones turned seeing Booth standing between the door and her as Lance started to speak again. "Dr. Brennan, her moves were very Xena-ish," he said with a grin moving his body like he had a sword in hand. "It was awesome!" he laughed some seeing both Bones and Booth look at one another then back at him not amused, all though Temperance had a light smile on her lips she chuckled and leaned back in her seat.

Booth closed her door while Sweets started to get in the back seat, "what? Don't tell me you've never watched Xena?"
