NOTE: And so realistic it is. This is an impossible situation that I hope nobody is ever in. I love hearing your thoughts on what should happen, and please do not bash on anybody who doesn't think the same way you do. There are two sides to this, the side who values life over rules and the side who values morals over life.
I write this trying to express both sides while being true to the charters.
So bear with me. I'm figuring this out too.
"Arizona fucking Robbins! Stop running from me!" Theodora Altman yells through the hallway.
Arizona ignores the looks from her coworkers and continues walking. She walks into an on call room, making sure no one is inside before walking in.
"I can't believe you!" Teddy shouts as she walks in, closing the door behind her.
"You can't believe me?! I can't believe you!" the blonde shouts back.
"For what? Understanding it was that or his life?! Do you wish he would have died?! He did what he had to!"
Arizona grunts, glaring at green eyes.
"Him dead wouldn't have done anything!"
Arizona sighs, shaking her head.
"He did what he had to. He survived Arizona. How can you be mad about that?"
Arizona calmly sits down, "I understand what you're saying."
"He lost his leg Arizona, they were ready to take more than that. How are you blaming him for this?"
"How?" Arizona spits, anger flowing, "I'll tell you how. I was raised better than that. We both were. I was raised to know that the military means selflessness. That people of the Army need integrity. I know Army values Teddy. I know he isn't a good man in the storm. He is selfish. He knew Callie would live even if he died. Timothy is responsible for part of the hell Calliope will have to live through for the rest of her life. I'm pissed Teddy, I have a fucking right to be."
"So you wish he would have died?" Teddy questions.
Arizona shakes her head, getting up and walking away.
"Arizona! I'm not done!" Teddy yells.
"I am."
"Arizona, please. Come to bed," Callie says to the blonde at the doorway.
"How?" Arizona questions, resuming her pacing of the room.
"Just come to bed, please baby."
Arizona sighs, giving into those brown eyes.
"I don't understand why you're so calm," Arizona mumbles, crawling under the covers.
Callie sighs, laying her head on the blonde's chest and wrapping her arms around the pale waist.
"I'm calm because I know I have you to protect me from anybody and anything."
Arizona can't help but smile, running a hand through raven locks. Blue eyes meet brown and everything else becomes irrelevant.
"I don't know what I'd do without you," Arizona whispers.
Callie smiles sadly, "you'd be better off."
Callie rolls over, hiding her emotion.
"Calliope?" Arizona questions, reaching out for the brunette.
"If it wasn't for me you wouldn't be mad at your brother and best friend. You wouldn't have gone through all of this. If it wasn't for me you-"
"Hey!" Arizona interrupts, cupping Callie's face and forcing their eyes to meet.
"If it wasn't for you I'd be lost. I'd be drifting from one place to another still, going from one girl to the next. Calliope, I'm a better person because of you. I'm in love because of you. Something I've never been in before. Calliope, I wouldn't trade you for anybody or anything," Arizona leans in, letting their noses brush while keeping eye contact.
Brown eyes are full of tears, allowing blue to see every emotion. Sadness, fear, disbelief and so much more.
"Calliope, I love you," she finally gives red lips a kiss.
Callie sighs into the kiss, closing her eyes and just feeling. Arizona pulls away, looking to those eyes for a sign. Callie bites her bottom lip, eyes focusing on pink lips.
"Kiss me," Callie whispers.
Arizona connects their lips once again. This time Callie responds, kissing back. A hand creeps into blonde hair.
"Just love me," Callie whispers when Arizona pulls away.
Brown eyes meet blue once more.
"You sure?"
Callie cups the side of Arizona's face, "I just need to feel our love."
Arizona smiles, her dimples popping through as she rolls on top of her lover.
"Whatever you need baby," she whispers, her mouth finding a tanned neck.
"Arizona, I need to talk. Please," Tim says into the phone.
Silence.
"Arizona, please. I'm begging you."
"Meet me at Joe's."
The call ends. Tim sighs, grabbing his coat and walking to the bar.
"Strongest whiskey please," he says, sitting down at the bar.
"You a drunk now?" Arizona questions, sitting next to the man.
Tim shrugs, "I dunno. Maybe."
"What do you want?"
Tim sighs, turning to the younger woman.
"I wanted to tell you everything."
"What the fuck do you mean? You rape more girls while you were over there?"
Tim bites the inside of his cheek, shaking his head.
"Go ahead, nothing is going to change the way I feel about you," Arizona says.
"Okay," he turns to his sister, "I saved us."
Arizona rolls her eyes, "how do you figure?"
"Did you ever wonder why that boy sent you to the same place they were keeping Callie? Did you ever wonder how he knew who you were?"
"Well I figured they hired him to bring me to them, since I was flashing her picture to anyone who would stop."
"But they kept her in the same room forever. What would her picture floating around do? What harm where you doing?" Tim questions.
"I dunno. Maybe I was annoying them?"
Tim shakes his head, "I sent him."
"You? You set me up?" Arizona questions.
"I brought you to them to gain trust. After you weren't at the market place it was okay for me to go outside. I gained their trust, and I called an old buddy who lived nearby. He got in contact with the people who saved us. I'm the only reason you're alive right now Zona. I saved us."
Arizona shakes her head, "you're the only reason I got caught. What would you have done if they hadn't let you out? What if they told you to rape me? Would you have?"
"Arizona," Tim sighs.
"How can Dad even stand to look at you? You broke the Army values.
Here are the Army Values to which Arizona is referring to.
Loyalty Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. constitution, the Army, and other soldiers.Be loyal to the nation and its heritage.
Duty Fulfill your obligations. Accept responsibility for your own actions and those entrusted to your care. Find opportunities to improve oneself for the good of the group.
Respect Rely upon the golden rule. How we consider others reflects upon each of us, both personally and as a professional organization.
Selfless Service Put the welfare of the nation, the Army, and your subordinates before your own. Selfless service leads to organizational teamwork and encompasses discipline, self-control and faith in the system.
Honor Live up to all the Army values
Integrity Do what is right, legally and morally. Be willing to do what is right even when no one is looking.
Personal Courage Our ability to face fear, danger, or adversity, both physical and moral courage.
"You weren't loyal to Calliope, she was one of your best friends. There was no respect for her when you raped her. How could you look her in the eye while you used her body? How can you stand here and justify yourself? There was no selfless service from you. Everything you did was to save your sorry ass. I can no longer take pride in being a Robbins. There is no honor in being related to you. You didn't do what was right. There is no integrity left. There was no courage at all. That's six of the seven I know you broke. So don't even try the hero route. You've always been the poster child for the Army, now look at you."
"I did my duty Arizona. I made sure Callie got out of there alive. You know I'll never leave a man behind," Tim says, tears evident in his eyes.
"You got her out alive but at what price?" Arizona asks, a tear falling out.
"I have to live with what I did Arizona, but I got us all out of there alive. I did my duty."
"You don't understand how much this broke her, do you? She had blackouts for months. I went through pain that was meant for you. Broken bones and busted lips she meant for you. She didn't even know what was going on. We went through months of pain trying to figure it out. All while you sat at home with Mom and Dad knowing everything. You couldn't even man up and tell us until Callie already figured it out."
"I did what I had to."
Arizona sighs, shaking her head, "I'm glad you think so. Now I've got to go make sure my girlfriend knows that your not going to come get her in her sleep. So thanks, I have to deal with that for the rest of our lives."
Arizona grabs her bag and walks out, never looking back.
"Hey, you did what you had to," Teddy says, sitting next to Tim and rubbing his back.
"And I lost half my family over it," Tim grunts, downing his whiskey in one gulp.
"No. You can't think like that. Now you can go on and save more people. You can make up for the bad you had to do. Make your life worth something more. Something grand, so you can look back and say this made you a better man," Teddy says.
"You don't understand. I raped my best friend. I looked into her eyes and saw the betrayal and fear. Then, if that wasn't bad enough, I then had dick after dick shoved up my ass. I should've said no and let them kill me."
Tim sets his glass down and walks out, leaving Teddy understanding too much.
Remember, reviews equal love! Thanks for all the support. It means a lot to me. I love you guys.
