Chapter 4: Stalker Alert

After taking a really long shower, Valerie hopped out fully awake and ready to take on the day. She opened the bathroom door, after groping the wall for ten minutes to find it, and tried to walk out. She'd almost made it out the door, but clipped her shoulder on the door frame. "Gah." She said and clutched her shoulder. She'd hit it hard enough to draw back skin and a fair amount of blood bubbled up over the scrap. Luckily, her shirt was the same shade as the blood, so she wouldn't have to change again.

Law looked up from his desk and sighed. Walking over to her he pulled back the sleeve of her shirt to examine the damage. "You can't even walk through a doorway without hurting yourself." He said with another sigh. Law walked back to his desk and pull out a band aid and an alcohol pad from one of the drawers. "This is going to sting." He said and wiped off the scrape. Valerie hissed and pulled away from him. He grabbed for her wrist, but she dodged him. He tried again, and failed again. "Stop that." He said annoyed. Valerie shook her head.

"I'm afraid of pain." She said.

"That doesn't matter. Quit moving around, you're going to trip." She shook her head again and backed away from his hand again. As she backed away, her leg hit the bed and she fell back. Taking hold of the situation, Law straddled her waist and finished clean the scrape.

"Dammit! That fucking hurts you ass!" She screamed and tried to get away to no avail.

"I don't remember telling you that I cared. As the captain it's my job to look after my crew. And that includes you. Now shut up, I'm done." He said and pressed the band aid on her shoulder. He got off her and offered her a hand. She held her shoulder and pouted up at him, before taking the offered hand.

Law pulled her to her feet and led her to the door. Once they got into the hall, Law released her hand and instead offered his arm. Of course she held onto it and they continued down the hall.

"Where are we headed?" She asked.

"Galley." Was his simple reply.

Once they got there, Valerie immediately release his arm and ran to the white and orange blob that she saw. She wrapped her arms around his neck, as much as she could, and nuzzled his soft fur. "Bepo!" She squealed. The polar bear looked extremely shocked, as did the crew members who were sitting with him. Law quickly walked over and pried her off him, which wasn't easy since she had a death grip on the poor bear. She whined when Law finally detected and restrained her. Holding her arms out, she whined Bepo's name. Bepo bowed his head.

"Sorry." He whispered. Valerie stopped whining and smiled at him.

"There's nothing for you to be sorry for." She said reassuring him. The crew members at the table gave Law a 'who is she?' look.

"This is Valerie, she's a new recruit." He said. They nodded their heads and went back to their lunch. "Sit." He said looking at her. She pouted, but sat in the empty space beside Bepo. Law walked to the kitchen to get their food, and returned moments later. He placed one of the plates in front of her, then walked to the other side of the table and took a seat at the end of the bench.

Valerie stared down at her plate. From what she could make out of the blob, she guessed that it was a sandwich with apple slices. She looked at the others plates and saw little remains of the same thing. With a confused look she turned to Law. "Law, what are you eating?" He raised an eyebrow in question. His plate was too far for her to even make out blobs. "Everyone's eating sandwiches, but you hate bread." She explained.

Law nearly choked on the bit of fish he'd taken. Swallowing he stared at her. "How did you know that?" He asked. The crew members around them stared at her as well. None of them, save the cook, knew about Law's hatred for bread. It's not like he was one of these people who sat around with others and discussed the foods he liked and didn't like. The only one who probably knew those were Bepo.

"Don't you remember what I told you yesterday?" When Law narrowed his eyes she sighed. "I'm not from this world and in my world y'all are just fictional characters." Somehow, their conversation had attracted the attention of all the crew mates in the galley. They all blanched at her unbelievable confession. "Bet you don't believe me, do ya? Okay then I'll prove it." She took a deep breath and spilled out the data file that she had on Law in her head. "Trafalgar Law, also known as 'Surgeon of Death ' Trafalgar Law. Also one of the eleven Supernovas. Current bounty is two hundred million beli. Captain of the Heart Pirate crew. He is both a swordsman and a doctor. His first mate is Bepo, a polar bear who is a master of martial arts and is able to talk. He ate the Ope-Ope no mi and is a paramecia type. Shall I continue?" The crew in the galley looked slightly impressed.

The man to Law's right glared at her. "Anyone coulda easily figure tha' out. I'm not impressed." Valerie glared at him.

"Okay here are some things most people don't know." She took another deep breath. "He dislikes bread and umeboshi. He likes onigiri and grilled fish. Since childhood he's wanted to be a doctor. Also, even in childhood he has had dark rings underneath his eyes. Law has the word 'death' tattoo on his fingers and a cross on both hands as well. He has a heart tattoo on his chest with the Heart Pirate Jolly Roger on it. He has heart tattoos on his shoulders that resemble the one on his chest and the Heart Pirate Jolly Roger also on his back. Impressed now?" The man stared open mouthed, and nodded. "Good, 'cause Law isn't the only person I have Intel on."

All Law could do was stare at her in complete and utter shock. Slowly a smirk crept onto his face. Yes, she was definitely going to keep amusing him.

Shachi walked over from across the room and gently clapped Law on the back. "You better look out Captain. It seems you've got a diehard fangirl/stalker on your hands." He said then started laughing. The rest of the galley joined in. Valerie's face lit up with a blush that crawled down her neck and turned her caramel skin burgundy.
