I'd like to thank my wonderful betas: Scronkidile and Elodealeaf


Callie woke up pressed to a soft, warm body. She smiled and pulled the body closer. Addison usually hated snuggling, but she must be in that sort of mood. Callie kept her eyes closed and inhaled deeply. She smelled her own shampoo. That was weird; Addison usually used her own soaps, but Callie didn't care. She brushed her lips across the smooth shoulders, placing kisses as the body turned around.

Callie felt soft lips press against her own and sighed. This was nice. She pressed more insistently against Addison', running her tongue along her lips. Addison's mouth opened, letting her in. Callie brought a hand up cup Addison's jaw for a moment, before moving it into her hair. She felt a hand move under her shirt. Fingertips ran up her stomach, pausing at her bandage.

Her bandage. Why was Addison in her bed? She pulled her head back and opened her eyes. Dark blue eyes blinked at her. Arizona looked at her, her mouth still slightly open and her lips wet. Callie blushed when she realized it had been Arizona that she was making out with.

"Hey." Arizona's voice was gruff with sleep and arousal. "Why do you look so confused?"

Callie blushed more and looked away. "I thought you were Addison."

Arizona's face went blank. "Oh." She threw off the covers and started to climb out of the bed. Callie's hand on the back of her shirt stopped her.

"Hey! I'm glad it was you, instead. I'm just used to it being Addison."

Arizona sat on the bed for a moment before pulling her shirt out of Callie's grasp. "Its fine, Callie." She stood up and started heading towards the door, not looking at Callie. "I'm going to make breakfast."

Callie winced as the bedroom door shut. Fuck. Of course, she messed this up. It was too good. Callie didn't do good well. She grabbed the pillow next to her and shoved it onto her face. She let out a scream of frustration.

"Um…Calliope?"

Callie yanked the pillow off her face and bolted up right. She immediately regretted it when a bolt of pain shot through her. She groaned and clutched her side. Arizona lifted her hand away and checked her bandage.

"You're fine. You really should stop making sudden movements."

"You really should stop making me make sudden movements." She smiled at Arizona, hoping she wasn't still mad. Arizona looked at her for a moment before smiling slightly.

"Sure, blame the medic." Arizona offered her a hand. "I can't help it if you startle easily. Come on, help me make breakfast. Unless you're too wounded for that."

"Haha, I'm fine." She took Arizona's hand and stood up. As their bodies brushed, Callie was suddenly aware of how undressed they were. Judging by the blush on Arizona's face, she was thinking the same thing.

"You're blushing."

Arizona smiled at her. "Sorry, I was thinking about Addison." Callie's face fell. Arizona just laughed at her and pulled her out of the bedroom. "Relax, I was only joking."

"Well, you suck at jokes."

They laughed as they entered the kitchen.

"So, Calliope, what would you like?" Arizona opened her fridge. It was almost empty; they hadn't bought food since Teddy and Addison came by a week ago. Whoops.

Just then the front door opened and Mark, Addison, and Teddy walked in.

"Damn, you guys are awake." Addison shut the door as Teddy and Mark walked into the living room. "We were hoping to catch you in bed together."

Mark leaned against the kitchen counter. "I was just hoping to see you naked."

Arizona narrowed her eyes at him. "Eyes up, Sloan."

"Hey, why so hostile? I barely know you!"

"The first time I met you, Derek shot Calliope. The second time I met you, you hit on me."

Mark just shrugged. "Don't take it seriously. I'm only interested in Addison."

Callie smiled at Addison who was looking at Mark, slack-jawed. Callie was glad that Addison was happy. She missed her though. It was weird that she had barely seen her in a week. Her eyes widened when she realized she couldn't just kiss her anymore. Addison wasn't hers. She noticed Addison watching her.

"I, uh, have to go to the bathroom." She quickly headed into the bedroom and sat on the bed. She looked up when she heard the door click shut. Addison leaned against it and crossed her arms.

"We always knew this would happen." Addison sighed. "We never planned to be together forever. Hell, we weren't ever really together."

"Yeah, but we were fake together for over a decade." Callie wiped a tear out of her eye. "That means something."

Addison pushed off the door and sat on the bed next to Callie. She opened her arms for a hug. "Come here, Cal." Callie leaned into her arms and sighed. "It did mean something, it still does. I don't know how many times I had to remind myself that it was just for fun or that I didn't actually love you, but I did love you. I do love you."

Callie turned her head into Addison's neck. "I know. I'm not even jealous. Not really. I just…I'm going to miss you."

Addison kissed her hair. "I'll still be here."

"You know what I mean."

Addison laughed wetly, quickly wiping away her tears. "Yeah, I know what you mean." They sat in silence for a minute before Callie spoke.

"I woke up this morning with Arizona in my arms and I thought it was you. We were making out until I remembered my bandage and that it was Arizona." Callie laughed softly. "I even told her that I thought it was you."

Addison pulled back and looked at Callie incredulously. "What? You told her you were kissing her because you thought it was me?"

Callie blushed slightly. "…yes?" Addison smacked Callie's arm. "Ow! I'm wounded; you can't hurt me!"

"I can hurt you when you've been an idiot! You can't say that to a woman! Or to anyone!" Addison narrowed her eyes as Callie yelled back.

"I didn't think about it! It just came out!"

"What, like that time you took my shirt off and told me I was looking a little chubby?"

"You're the one who always critiqued my eyebrows!"

"You judged me for having fur coats!"

"No, I judged you for having nine fur coats."

"Whatever, that's just as bad."

They looked at each other silently for a moment. "I'm going to miss you, Addie."

Addison smiled slightly. "I'll miss you, too, Cal."

Callie leaned forward and kissed her softly. Addie sighed into the kiss before pulling away. She pushed Callie's hair out of her face and kissed her nose.

"Ok, we'd better rejoin the crowd." Callie froze. "Shit. We left Arizona, Mark, and Teddy alone."

"Who knows what they've done."

Callie and Addison jumped up. Addison yanked the door open and they entered the kitchen.

Arizona and Mark were splitting a bag of baby carrots while Teddy made coffee. Mark had somehow managed to lose his shirt and he was showing Arizona his bullet wounds.

"This one was done by your Calliope here." He gestured to his arm, a long horizontal scar spanning his bicep. Looking at Callie, he asked, "Do you remember?"

Callie smiled. "Yup. You were flirting with my girls. Just standing in the door way to our outpost, not a care in the world."

"That's not why you shot me, though."

Callie thought for a moment before laughing. "You hit on me! You turned around and said 'Hey, Calliope, have I ever told you how hot you are? You know what I'd do to you? I'd take one finger and-'"

"And then you shot me." He smiled at her. "There are no hard feelings, by the way. I forgive you."

"Thank you, Mark. I don't know how I'd ever survive if you hadn't forgiven me."

Arizona looked between them, chewing thoughtfully. "How long have you two known each other?"

Callie looked at Mark. "Uh, god, I don't know."

"Probably around 25 years."

"Yeah, I started following my father around when I was 12 and I think you were just a message boy then."

Mark nodded and accepted the cup Teddy handed him. "Yeah! I remember that. I used to chase you around the block."

Callie threw her head back and laughed. "Yes! You were a womanizer even then."

He gestured at her hair. "You had the worst haircut! It looked like you tried to cut it yourself."

Callie blushed slightly. "I had cut it myself."

Teddy laughed. "At least it looks better now."

Addison raised her hand. "Wait. Mark, you've been in the mob since you were a child?"

He nodded. "Yeah, I was an orphan and Derek's family took me in. They all have mob ties."

Addison looked at him quietly for a moment. "That explains a lot."

Callie looked between them for a moment. She turned to Arizona. "I'm hungry."


Callie stopped walking when she realized Arizona wasn't behind her anymore. She turned around to see Arizona supporting herself on a shelf of canned vegetables because she was laughing so much. She clutched her side as tears ran down her face.

"What, you've never heard that joke before?"

"No! Who thinks of that thing with the umbrellas?"

Callie grinned and started walking again. "Come on; let's finish up, so we can go home."

She heard Arizona jog up behind her. Smiling, Callie wrapped her arm around Arizona's shoulders and tugged her close. They walked silently for a bit.

"Oh my god! Can we get donuts?" Arizona ran ahead and stopped next to a donut display. "These are the best!"

Callie stared at her for a second before speaking. "I'm sorry, how old are you again?"

Arizona crossed her arms and pouted. "I'm older than you, actually. There is nothing wrong with enjoying childish things. 'Childish'," she made air quotes, "is just a social construct anyway. Why are we too old for things like Disney, or Donuts, or…or-"

"Dicks?"

"Exactly. What?! No! Calliope! Ew!"

Callie broke into hysterical laughter, bending over the grocery cart. She couldn't believe Arizona had fallen for that.

"I can't believe I fell for that!" Arizona put her hands on her hips. "You are the worst, Calliope." She watched as Callie continued to laugh. "Ok, ok, let's move on before you hurt yourself."

Callie straightened up, still chuckling to herself. She looked at Arizona who still looked a bit upset. Pushing the cart forward, she grabbed a box of donuts off the top of the display. She dropped it into the cart and smiled at Arizona. "There you go."

"Thanks!" Arizona joined her at her side again. "So when are we retaliating against L'Homme?"

"Tonight." Callie turned down the cereal aisle, absently leaning forward against the cart. "Bailey texted me earlier and said she'd call when they were ready."

Arizona ran her hand along the shelves as they walked. "Are you going with them?"

"Of course." She held a hand up when Arizona started to protest. "I'll be fine, Arizona. Really. I'm almost better and I'll take pains meds before. I have to be with my people. I'm their leader."

Arizona grabbed a box of Honey Nut Cheerios off the shelf and nodded. "Ok, I understand, but I'm coming, too."

"You can't! You aren't trained at all. You're just a medic."

"I'm not just anything, Calliope." They stopped at the end of the aisle. "I know I haven't been in the mob very long, but I grew up on military bases my entire life. I know how to shoot a gun and I know how to kill. I'll shoot my brother's killer right between the eyes if I ever met them. I'd have no qualms or hesitations. I am not just a medic, Calliope. I am a good man in a storm."

Calliope looked at Arizona for a moment as she re-evaluated her image of the cute, blonde woman in pigtail braids. Arizona gazed calmly back, unfazed by the leader of La Femme Mafia's stare. After a long silence, Calliope nodded.

"Fine. You can come with us."

Arizona grinned. "Awesome!"

They started walking again when another cart turned the corner and crashed into them.

"Dude, what the fu-" Alex Karev cut himself off when he saw who he had crashed into. "Uh, sorry, Calliope."

Calliope just gazed at him. He shouldn't even be on this side of town. "What are you doing here, Karev?"

He shifted uncomfortably. "Shopping." Arizona coughed to cover a laugh as Alex half-smiled at her. "Uh, I actually live on this side of town."

Calliope frowned. "Why?"

"I work at Seattle Pres."

"You do?" Arizona asked. "I work at Seattle Grace. I mean, I'm on sabbatical right now, but I'm a peds surgeon there."

Karev smiled and looked interested. "Really? Me too. I just became an attending."

Arizona grinned. "That's great! Where did you go to med school?"

The sound of a throat being cleared stopped him from answering. Arizona and Alex looked toward Calliope.

"It's been fun, Karev, but we have to go."

Alex nodded. "Yeah, ok, have a good night." He turned his cart around and started walking away.

"Karev." He looked back to see Calliope frowning at him. "Wear a vest tonight."

Alex frowned for a second before nodding. "Thanks."

"Don't mention it."


Calliope looked at the people gathered in her living room. Bailey, Medusa, Cristina, Addison, Mark, Teddy, Arizona, Lexie, Kepner. Tonight was going to be gruesome and if L'Homme realized they were there, then people would get hurt. She sighed.

"Alright, let's go over the plan again. We're robbing the armory. They've been stocking up on weapons and we need to stop that. We'll go in, take as much as we can, and leave. They cannot know we are in there. It is a warehouse with one front entrance and a loading dock; if they enter through the front, we could be are trapped in." She looked at each of them for a moment. "Alright, Cristina – "

"Will be in the van, watching. You are all bugged and we will be able to track your every move. Mer-"

"Is in charge of look out. I will be watching the security cameras and keeping the footage of an empty warehouse looping. Lexie-"

"Will be tracking L'Homme members. Meredith has set up cameras at their local haunts and I'll be watching those."

Calliope nodded. That was security done. "Bailey, explain the process."

Bailey stood up and pointed at the map that had been pinned to the wall. "Okay, we'll be entering the area from the west. Sloan has informed us that L'Homme always drives black vans, so we bought three of them. Meredith, Cristina, and Lexie will be in the first one. They'll park themselves to the North and keep an eye on things. Calliope, Teddy, Addison, Sloan, Arizona and myself will be in the second one; We're entering the building first. The rest of my girls will be in the last one. We'll park both vans near the loading dock and pack away as many guns as fast as we can." She looked around to see if there were any questions. April raised her hand. "Yes, Kepner?"

"I'm creating a distraction on the south side of town, right?"

Calliope nodded. "Yes, you'll be holding a press conference discussing L'Homme's recent reign of terror."

Kepner smiled. "Great! I can do that."

Lexie poked her side. "I'd hope so; it's your job."

Sloan spoke up. "Hey, I'm 100% on your side now, but I can't shoot anyone from L'Homme. They were like family to me."

Calliope smiled slightly. "That's ok, Mark. Hopefully nobody will be shooting anyone." She clapped her hands. "Alright, people! Tonight's the night!"
