I don't own glee, or the characters used.

(Rachel's POV)

I'm laying on my bed for the first time this weekend with Santana in my arms, she just told me the story about her family's history with the Pruit family. She told me about how the Pruit's murdered her parent's and leaving her alone since she had no interest in the family business and she wasn't a threat to them before.

I stayed silent throughout her stories about her family and her past before letting Santana cry on my shoulder. Santana cried for her parents and having to recount the memories. And I let her. She needed to vent.

Santana had fallen asleep a few hours ago so now I am just laying under her, flipping through the channels on her tv. Until Quinn and Brittany quietly walked in and lay by our feet.

"She looks exhausted." Quinn commented looking at Santana

"She is, poor girl cried herself to sleep. I didn't know how personal this all was for her."

"Are you two good now? No misunderstandings, fights, disagreements?" Brittany asked quietly looking between the two

I shook my head "We talked everything out. We're going together and we are planning on asking you to come with us, along with Marley and Puck because you three would be most beneficial given the situation."

"And I will be waiting in the car." Quinn whispered with a nod.

I chuckled "Sure, with you in the car."

Brittany nodded. "Do you guys have a plan yet?"

"Not really. We can't go in with guns blazing because I have a feeling that would get us all shot."

Suddenly Santana sat up and stretched "We are going to go back to my house and sweep the archives for any and all dirt we have on these people, then we are going to bring it with us. Tell them we have enough evidence for them all to get arrested and make a trade for Rachel's people."

I smiled and wrapped my arms around her waist "You just have this all thought through huh?"

"Of course I do, it's a part of the job."

I smiled before looking at Brittany "So are you going to come with us?"

She nodded "Course, have to keep the friends safe."

"We do need to go get that evidence though. The faster we get the parents the faster this can all be over."

Santana frowned a little "Bittersweet ending. Everyone's going to stop coming by the house after."

I laughed "Of course that's not true. We're going to come over all the time. You can't get rid of us that easy, and now that you've met the glee club and made a good impression with them, I'm pretty sure they'll be over as much as I will be."

"For real?"

I stuck my tongue out at her earning a grin before replying "For really real."

The other three in the room laughed before Quinn rolled her eyes "Rach, that was incredibly lame. Even for you."

I glared slightly at her "You're just mad that I'm still cooler than you. Even with that lame joke."

Quinn glared back. "You wish."

"Don't have to wish when it's already a reality."

Quinn got up and towered over me. "Maybe in your fantasy land."

"To bad my fantasy is actually reality." I said getting up and glaring up at Quinn.

"You aren't intimidating me, midget."

"Stop calling me a midget you giraffe."

"Not a giraffe."

"And I'm not a midget."

We stood there glaring until Brittany and Santana got up and pulled us out of the house. I locked up and followed Santana to the backseat of her car.

"You're letting Quinn drive?"

Santana nodded and Quinn looked at me through the rearview mirror "Why wouldn't she let me drive?"

"Maybe because you drive like an idiot?" I say as Quinn turned a corner quickly.

"I drive perfectly find thank you."

I had to scoff at that "Sure."

Santana shakes her head before grabbing my attention by kissing me quickly. "So we need to search through the library when we get back to my place. My father had some dirt on the family in case we ever needed it before..."

I nodded. "I have a question though."

"Well fire away then"

"You told me you had no interest in the family business..."

"Yep."

"Why did you end up entering it and becoming The Wizard?"

She sighed before looking out of the window. "When my parent's were killed and they couldn't find the killers. It hurt, alot more than I'd care to admit. My parents were stolen from me because of a title and for power. It just wasn't fair. So after they died, I immediately hired guards to always be around and then I grieved...for months. My parents were not bad people at all. They were loving, attentive, patient...the list goes on and on. But they weren't allowed to stay with me because of those selfish people..."

She shakily sighed before wiping her eyes, trying to stop the tears that I knew were falling already.

"After I accepted what happened to them, I decided that I needed to avenge them somehow...So I became The Wizard. I made friends with the right people, made the right connections, introduced myself to the tops of the pyramid. They were perfectly fine with me not joining the business but I decided to joining it so I could pay homage to them I guess? I do it for them. Until I find a reason to leave."

I put my arms around her waist before pulling her into my lap.

"Well you still can pay homage to them. I just wanted to know."

"No problem, you can know everything about me Rachel."

I smiled slightly "Good to know, but I might have an idea...hear me out first..."

I'm kind of prolonging the big confrontation to be honest. I really don't know why but whatever.

I wanted to test my hand out with this. Hopefully there aren't that many mistakes, if there are, please excuse them.

Thank you for reading!
