Sorry for being late, guys! Finals week and all that

Thanks to my betas: Scronkidile and Elodealeaf

Callie woke up the next morning to a sharp pain in her left arm. She squinted, confused, as she tried to remember what had happened, but she was still half asleep. Reaching over, she touched the bandage on her arm. Oh, right, Arizona. She thought back to last night and smiled. It had been weird, having Arizona assert authority, but it gave her hope. Maybe Arizona was accepting the mob life. If she could inflict pain on someone she cared about, hurting people who threatened her shouldn't be a problem.

Callie turned her head to the side. Arizona wasn't in bed. She fiddled with the bandage before deciding to get up and find her. She sat up, pushing her hair out of her face. Now she had two bandages. At least her gunshot wound was almost healed; that was one less thing to worry about.

She threw the blanket off and stood up. "Arizona?" She pulled a robe of her closet door and walked out into the living room, looking around. The apartment was silent and everything looked spotless. "Hey, Arizona, are you here?" She turned back around and walked into the bathroom. The whole place was empty. Maybe Arizona had left a note somewhere.

She glanced at her night stand and dresser as she walked back into the living room. There wasn't a note there or on the coffee table or in the kitchen. Callie stood in the kitchen, frowning. This was weird. Not only did Arizona not have anywhere to be, she wouldn't have just left, right? Last night was intense; Arizona wouldn't have left her after that.

She decided to call Teddy. Maybe Arizona went over to her place to talk. She grabbed her phone off the table by the door and dialed.

"Yeah?"

"Hey, is Arizona with you?"

"No, I thought she was with you."

Callie frowned. "Yeah, she was, but she's gone."

There was a moment of silence on the phone and then some rustling. Addison came on the line. "What do you mean, gone?"

"I mean, she's gone. No note, no phone call, nothing. Gone."

"Hold on, Teddy's calling her cell."

Callie listened for a moment before she heard vibrating. She hurried into the bed room and saw Arizona's phone on the dresser. "It's here."

She heard Addison hand the phone back to Teddy.

"Addison's going to call Meredith and see what she knows. We'll find her, don't worry."

Calliope frowned. "I'm more angry than worried. She was probably taken."

"Taken? Wouldn't you have been woken up?"

"We were pretty exhausted last night." Calliope laughed dryly. "We actually had just-" A beep interrupted her. She looked down at her phone and saw Derek's number on the screen. "Hey, I'm going to call you back. Derek is calling me. Text me if Meredith or Cristina have any answers."

"Sure."

Calliope switched over to the other line. "Calliope."

"Calliope…" Derek's voice came through the phone very quietly. He sounded smug beyond belief. "…I have something of yours. I think you're going to want it back."

"Do you have Arizona?" Calliope's grip on the phone tightened.

"I have your new play thing."

"You have Arizona."

"Yes. I do."

"What do you want? I'd trade you for Karev, but I don't think he'd go back."

Derek laughed. "I don't want Karev. I want you to suffer."

Calliope ran her hand through her hair. "Why? I haven't done anything to you."

"You have. Of course you have." There was the sound of a door shutting in the distance. "This isn't just my revenge though. You have made a formidable enemy."

Calliope thought quickly. Who was it? She couldn't think of anyone of the top of her head. Who hated her? Erica? No, they ended on a good note. Well, decent, but still. Did the Sergeant have any siblings? She didn't think so.

"Trying to figure out who it is? I doubt you'll figure it out. We rarely know how bad the devastation we cause can be." He sighed. "Well, you'll know soon enough. You know where to find me."

"Wait!" The line went dead. Calliope threw the phone onto the couch. "Fuck!"

There was a knock on the door and Calliope rushed over to open it. Cristina walked in, Meredith following after. Calliope started the shut the door, but was stopped by a hand. Mark pushed the door open again as Addison and Teddy walked past.

"How did you all get here so fast?"

Teddy smiled. "We were on our way out when Derek called you." She walked into the kitchen. "What did he say?"

"He has Arizona."

"Fuck." Addison paled. "Where?"

Cristina raised her hand. "I'm guessing the shop."

Calliope nodded. "Yeah, ok. I agree. Let me get dressed and we can head out."

"Ok," Mark stroked a hand down his tie, "we need to get another gun. We'll give it to her when we free her."

Calliope shook her head and walked towards her bedroom. "He better keep his fucking hands off of her."

Calliope pushed open the door to L'Homme's pastry shop. It was so ironic how the meanest people made the sweetest thing. Although, she supposed this was less gruesome than the butcher shops she owned, but still. She walked up to the counter, her team behind her. Leaning forward, she looked around. Not seeing anyone, she walked around the display case and headed to the back. Mark strode forward and waved at her to follow him. They walked quietly down the hallway before stopping in front of a door marked 'Secure Personnel Only." Calliope checked behind her to make sure everyone was caught up before knocking.

The door swung open. Calliope didn't know the name of the Henchman that opened the door. She thought for a moment and realized that Derek was the only member of L'Homme's board that was left. Mark and Alex had defected. Cristina had killed Owen. Meredith had killed Jackson. Calliope walked into the room, thinking. Who was Derek's last ally? Who was her unknown enemy?

All questions flew from her mind when she saw Arizona. Arizona was tied to a metal chair, naked. When they took her, they hadn't even given her anytime to get dressed. A piece of duct tape was covering her mouth. Her eyes were wide and tears streamed down her face. When she saw Calliope, she screamed through the tape and struggled against her bonds. The Henchman sitting next to her pulled her back by the hair and kept his fingers tangled in it, holding her in place.

"Well, well, well, Calliope. How nice of you to join us." Derek was leaning against the back wall in his suit, his arms crossed in front of him. "I almost thought you'd abandoned your little toy."

"Her name is Arizona." Calliope took a step forward. An arm across her chest stopped her. She looked up at the Henchman who stared at her with a blank face. She looked down at his suit; he was really well dressed and much more intense than Derek's usual Henchpeople. She looked back at Derek. "Where'd you get this one? Actually, where'd you get any of these guys?"

He shrugged. "A gift from your mysterious enemy."

"What do you want, Derek?"

"Your territory? Your power? Your life? You choose."

"Unacceptable."

Derek's eyebrows rose. "You wouldn't give up everything to save your toy?"

"Her name is Arizona." Calliope crossed her arms. "No, I wouldn't. La Femme is my life. I had it long before Arizona and I'll have it long after her."

Arizona's eyes shut and her shoulders slumped. Calliope felt bad for a moment; it looked like she had given up. She wished she could tell her to just hold on.

Derek's laugh startled her. "You just take people under your wing and then throw them aside, don't you? Everyone thinks they're special, but you know better, right? You take what isn't yours and ruin it!"

Calliope's eyebrows drew down. "What are you talking about?"

He shook his head. "Tell your toy why Erica left you."

"Her name is Arizona. What does sh-"

"TELL YOUR TOY WHY ERICA LEFT YOU."

Calliope crossed her arms. "Why?"

Derek ran a hand through his hair. "Everyone thinks you're just good, old Calliope. Born to rule and raised to kill. BUT YOU'RE SO TERRIBLE." He pulled out a gun and pointed it at Arizona's head. The sound of guns being drawn behind her did little to make Calliope feel better. Sure, Derek would be dead if he pulled the trigger, but so would Arizona.

"OK! Ok!" Calliope held her hands up in surrender. "I'll tell her!"

Derek lowered his gun slightly. "Good."

"Erica and I met at a bar. Neither of us had ever slept with a woman before, but we were really drunk and I hadn't slept with anyone for a while, so we went home together. We dated for a couple of weeks before I took her to an interrogation. We were on our way to a movie when I got a text from Addison saying they'd finally caught Shadow Shepherd, the old head of espionage for L'Homme, so we took a detour." Calliope sighed and met Arizona's eyes for a second before looking away. "She stopped us, just like you did, but when I looked at her, she backed down. She felt…weak, I guess and when she yelled at me for killing him, she left. She didn't want to be around someone who was a murderer." Calliope crossed her arms. "I…had her run out of town. I didn't want to even think about running into her again, so I made sure Seattle wasn't a safe place for her."

There was silence in the room for a moment. Calliope looked behind her; La Femme was staring at her. They hadn't known that Calliope had ordered Erica to be kept away. She'd talked to Bailey directly and asked that she keep it a secret. The board thought that Erica had just left. Calliope was sure they were now wondering what else she had done behind their back and what she would do if she ever got angry at them.

Derek laughed and holstered his gun. "Well there you go, toy. Now you know who Calliope really is. "

"Can you stop calling Arizona to-"

"I AM REFERING TO ADDISON!" Derek's face turned red. "I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR NEWEST PLAYTHING. I TALKING ABOUT YOUR OLD TOY, ADDISON, THE ONE YOU TOOK FROM ME!"

Calliope's mouth dropped open in shock. This was about Addison? She turned to look at her. Addison was white as a sheet, her knuckles white as she gripped Mark's arm. Her other hand shook as it held her gun.

"Me?" she whispered. "Why does it always come back to me?"

Derek spoke through gritted teeth. "You left me."

"YOU THREW ME OUT!"

"NO!" He raised his gun at her. "You left me for HER!" His gun swung over towards Calliope. Everyone held their breaths. "I loved you! I still love you! I've forgiven you, Addie, but now it's time for you to come home."

Addison drew in a shaky breath. "You beat me, Derek." She let go of Mark's arm and took a step forward. "You beat me every day that I didn't give you a child. Then, when I was so alone, Mark offered me comfort and I took it. I took it because I needed to believe in love again. You kicked me out!" She looked at Mark, tears in her eyes. "You didn't follow me. Calliope took me in. She gave me my freedom. I didn't have to stay with her. She actually offered me money and told me to leave the city, but I stayed. I stayed with her and I work hard every day to make sure my new lease on life isn't wasted." She raised her gun towards Derek and stepped forward. "I don't need your forgiveness. Now let Arizona go."

Calliope watched as Derek cocked his gun. "I will shoot Calliope."

Arizona screamed against her gag, startling Derek. Addison's gun went off. Everyone watched as Derek's shirt rapidly turned red. He dropped to his knees, his gun clattering against the floor as he clutched his chest.

Calliope pushed past the stunned Henchman whose arm was now hanging limply at his side. She dropped to her knees in front of Arizona, quickly pulling her gag down. "Hi. You're ok." She reached down to untie her other bonds.

Arizona was staring at her with wide eyes. "Would you have run me out of town, too? If I had left you?"

Calliope helped Arizona stand. "Come on, we can have this talk later."

"We can have this talk now." She took the jacket that Teddy offered, sliding her arms through it and pulling it tight around herself. "Would you have made me leave?"

Calliope sighed. "I don't know! Maybe? But you didn't leave, you stayed."

"Because I thought you would kill Alex! I stayed because I knew you were a murderer and I wanted to protect him." Arizona looked around towards Addison. "God, you're friends with the most messed up women."

Cristina chuckled from the doorway. "You aren't wrong."

They started heading towards the door. Calliope stopped when she realized Addison wasn't moving. "Hey, you guys go ahead. Addison and I will catch up."

Everyone shuffled out of the room, leaving just Calliope and Addison. Addison was standing over Derek's body, her gun shaking in her hands and tears running down her face. She jumped when Calliope's hand touched her back. She quickly wiped her eyes and holstered her gun.

"Sorry, Sorry. I'm coming."

Callie gently wiped her thumb under Addison's eye and then pulled her into a hug. "Hey, it's ok. You're fine."

Addison chuckled wetly. "Yeah, Yeah, I know, I just…" She pulled back and met Callie's eyes. "I'm actually free, you know? I mean, I guess I have been for a while, but he was still alive, you know?"

Callie nodded. "Yeah, I know. But hey! He's gone! All we have to do now is get Erica and then we'll have control over L'Homme's lands." She looked confused for a moment. "I mean, I assume his partner is Erica. He could have just been trying to get you to hate me. Do you hate me?"

Addison shook her head and wiped her eyes again. "No, of course not. I could never. Just tell me when you run someone out of town again. We could prepare for an eventual return as a team."

Calliope laughed and slung an arm over Addison's shoulder. They started walking to the door. "Yeah, ok. I will."

Alright, guys, Next chapter is the Final Showdown! So fasten your seatbelts!
