It was Friday. Finals started on Tuesday and went till Friday of next week. So of course, everyone was cramming. Well, except for Gohan that is. Gohan spent lots of time helping those who had no idea what they were doing as well as the occasional jog around the school. That is until Videl and Erasa both came to him for some help.

"The teacher has been able to explain most of it, but the rest of it he's no good at explaining." They explained. "Actually I'm quite surprised at times that he still has a contract."

Gohan accepted without hesitation. It was 'No problem.' he said. And so he began tutoring them of a sort. Then the school day ended and Gohan had to leave to return home and Videl and Erasa were heading off somewhere before going to do more studying.

As Gohan flew over the city his earpiece started chirping with activity. Now? He asked. Aw man. I was going to play with Goten today...Damn it. He hit the button on his watch and became the Gold Fighter, powering up in his crime-fighting clothes.

"We have a subway station hostile take over underway at Satan City Station. Four men, heavily armed, have taken seven people hostage, one of them is believed to be in need of medical attention." When Gohan heard the report on the radio, he wasn't happy. Not only had they put other peoples lives on the line, they had actually HURT a person to prove that they weren't fake. These guys, they meant business.

Blasting through the air and fazing out, he was there in a mere three seconds. He did his protocol from before. He floated waiting for Videl. She'd made it explicitly clear that she needed to be put back into the field to get past this trauma. It'll help her. And she'd convinced everyone.

Sure enough, she came through on her word. She landed and walked over to the Gold Fighter and looked at him in a new light. A kind, gentle, caring light. She respected him and was practically in love with the vibes of raw protection that floated in the air around him. She'd never noticed before but after that night at her house, it was impossible to miss.

"What do you suggest?" She asked him.

He looked at her with a funny expression. Holy shit, she has changed a lot. Not a single bit of attitude in her voice, no challenge. Just...attentiveness? "What this?" He asked, "You're asking me for advice?" He couldn't help but give a grin. "Oh my, you've certainly improved."

Videl now gave him a sour frown. "Fine then, be an asshole, I'll take the nincompoops out myself."

He floated down to ground level. "Wait a minute." He said, beckoning for her to come back. "Come're I'll give you some advice.

"Here's what you could do to successfully take them down." He began to form his idea. "You enter in from the south east entrance. There is a man there, I've scoped it out already. Since your light and quiet, dash in there when he turns his back and kick the underside of his ribs. Then knock him out in your own choosing."

"Ok." Videl said, visualizing the takedown.

"Since there are only two ways in aside from the trains, I would continue down there. You will be nearing the hostages so there are two men there. This is where I would advise you take something with you, a baton or a taser or anything that can be used as a distraction or weapon. Something that will stun them good. Swing low at one of their shins and when they bend of slightly in reaction, drive the weapon upwards at the chin. Spin around hit the other behind the knees and capture him in a reverse headlock and make sure you knock him out. Otherwise he may alert the last one of your presence."

Nodding, Videl followed the plan.

"The last one is constantly moving, so it's up to you to either release the hostages first or take down the last one."

"Gotcha." Videl said, sticking her hand out to a nearby officer. "I need to borrow your baton."
"Of course." The officer said, handing her the club.

Spinning it before gripping it firmly, she looked at the Gold Fighter. "Wish me luck."

Flashing her a grin, "That won't be needed, I'm sure you'll be fine." he said.

She ran over to the south-east entrance. Rounding a corner nearby to the stairwell she saw the first man. He turned away from her and she moved in quietly and quickly, just like the Gold Fighter advised. Striking fast she kicked the underside of his ribs, taking away some wind muting his cry of pain. She then spun fast the other way, driving her knee into his sternum, effectively removing the rest of the wind from his lungs and leaving him gasping. She proceeded to take down the opponent by sweeping out his leg and drilling him to the ground. His head hit the ground and he was knocked cold. But upon hearing the contact, flashback's filled her head. Damn it, not now! I must do this! Those people need my help! Then another presence entered the area as a flashback to her in her house, with Videl curled up in the arms of the Gold Fighter, his protective spirit surrounding her. This brought her out of her trance which lasted no longer than four or five precious seconds. She hurried down the stairs and sneaked towards the group of hostages and behind the two men.

Hitting one's shin then striking his chin he was knocked out. She followed up with the spinning strike behind the knees with the baton buckling the surprised man's legs before capturing him in a reversed head lock. In seconds the man had blacked out.

Dropping the man she scanned. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7... She counted the hostages noticing one was indeed injured. But where is the fourth man? She wondered. Deciding that it was the perfect time she helped the hostages file out towards the exit she'd come through. After making sure that the hostages were outside she began to ascend. Then there was a hand on her shoulder followed by a explosion of color in her vision and pain covered the side of her head.

"Son of a bitch!" A voice hissed furiously. "Everything was set up, all we needed was the cash." The fourth man mumbled as he dragged the immobilized Videl. "But if we can't get the cash, the Videl Satan will do for a pretty trade." He dragged Videl into a subway car and prepared to start the subway as Videl began to regain her bearings. The man continued to mumble things as Videl sat there, still collecting herself, when all of a sudden a fist smashed through the front window of the engine car.

"Hell no, you're not going anywhere." Gohan said, dropping down into the car, clearly not pleased by what this man was trying to get away with, or WHO he was trying to get away with.

"Shit!" The man shouted and drew his pistol firing five rounds straight into...air? Where'd he go?! The man thought. He swung around only to have his hand stopped and fired another round at the back of the car.

Gohan had stopped the man's swinging arm and simply broke the arm, striking it at the elbow before lightly flicking his finger into the man's temple, stopping him dead in his tracks before he could scream. His eyes rolled back into his head as he collapsed to the ground.

Videl didn't hear a thing as her ears were still ringing from the gunshots plus everything was still spinning a good amount. Before she could regain her senses and realize what had unfolded, Gohan had scooped her up and carried her out of the car and was working his way up the stairs into the open.

When he reached the top of the stairs, they looked at Videl with worry. "She's fine." Gohan said. "Still getting used to being back in the action." The officers didn't argue as they took this as their cue and ran downstairs with their guns at the ready.

As he heard the officers shout at the criminals to get down, shut up and don't move as few told them their rights, Gohan made sure Videl got some form of medical attention.

"She's got a concussion." A paramedic said. "Not a big surprise really, you did get pistol whipped."

"No shit." Videl mumbled, holding the ice to her head, flinching every now and then.

"You won't be able to do crime fighting for a few more weeks, at the least. We don't want to spring up another concussion right after it heals or make this one worse." The paramedic told Videl. "You must not do anything risky." He told her sternly.

"Okay, okay. Fine. I won't." Videl said, frowning, clearly not pleased with what had happened.

Looking at Videl for a few minutes, Gohan sat nearby. It didn't go unnoticed by Videl as every twenty or so seconds she'd glance over at him to see his warm gaze watching her. Then she'd blush ever so slightly and turn away. Getting up, Videl walked over to Gohan.

"Let's go, I don't want to hang around here. The reporters and officers are getting more weird."

Nodding, Gohan stood up and walked away with Videl as she got her latest jet copter capsule ready. Popping it out, she took off and Gohan followed in his Gold Fighter form.

Videl flew for a minute before landing on the tallest building in Satan City. Since they were so high up she grabbed her jacket and threw it on before hopping out.

"So, Gold Fighter." Videl said. "It's time for you to spill something, if I'm not mistaken?" She smirked slightly. I've waited all this time for this moment.

Gohan couldn't help but grin back slightly. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell her. Well, he did and he didn't. "Alright, I made a promise and I'll keep it." He took a deep breath. "What is it you'd like to know?"

Videl leaned back against her jetcopter, pretending to think about it. "Well, let's start off with this...You know how your Gold Warrior friend had knocked my dad twenty feet back with a flick of a finger?"

Gohan knew which question she was headed towards. "Yes I do."

"Well if you're stronger than he is, and he knocked my dad back with a flick, how is it my father was the one to defeat Cell?" She asked. This question had been on her mind for quite a while now and she had to know.

Gohan stood there silently. Suddenly he fazed out.

Videl processed what had happened. Wh-what?! "What the fuck!?" She couldn't hold back her frustration. "That bastard just vanished when he had his side of the deal to hold up?!" She ranted as she marched around.

She heard a noise behind her and whipped her head around to look. Gohan stood there with her father over his shoulder, clearly not feeling the best after travelling so fast where the human eye was unable to see him.

"Mr Satan." The Gold Fighter said over his shoulder. "It's judgement day. In a sense." He dropped the World Champ on the ground and he scurried back in fear of his own life.

"Wha-what are you talking about?" He panicked. "You said you wouldn't hurt me or my baby Videl!"

Gohan pointed behind Mr. Satan. The World Champ jumped up and spun around. "Videl!" He shouted, happy to see his daughter unharmed. "Thank goodness you're OK!"

Videl pushed her dad back and aimed a glare at the Gold Fighter. "Why'd you bring my old man here? I asked you a question."

Gohan looked at her. "I was at the Cell Games." He began. "I was who became to be known as the Delivery Boy. Don't care how, but that was me. My father was a...abnormal man to say the least. He didn't care who it was who was being bullied he would be the one to end it. He protected everything. Including this planet more than once. It's safe to say that he was the most dangerous man in the galaxy and this part of the universe."

Mr. Satan realized where this was headed and backed away, sat down and began taking deep breaths.

"Your father as you know was also a contender at the Cell Games." Gohan said. "My father died at the hands of Cell in an attempt to destroy him that became useless. Cell simply returned back and unleashed more havoc. All the while the World Champ didn't really care enough to pay respects to someone who sacrificed their life to save Earth."

Videl looked at her dad in a different light. It's true...he never did say one thing to honour those who died during the Cell Games. He just...mocked them.

"Truth is," Gohan sighed. "My father was several thousand times stronger than your father. My father is weaker than me according to my dad, but he has significantly more experience which levels the playing field a lot more."

Videl gaped at her own father. I thought... I thought something seemed a bit off but for him to take it to these lengths...

"Mr. Satan." Gohan said. "It's time for you to tell the ending."

Hercule Satan gathered as much strength as he could. "Videl, I-uh...I lied and cheated!" He took another deep breath. "I got my butt kicked early on in the Cell Games. After the cameras were destroyed the Delivery Boy or the Gold Fighter now, came in as a young boy. He nearly died against Cell and it took team work from his team mates to defeat Cell but in the end, this man defeated Cell and I claimed the victory." He said quickly all in one breath.

Videl couldn't believe this. Well, is that true? "...what the hell."

Hercule looked at his daughter. "Pardon?"

"What the hell made you decide that was a good idea?" Videl said, clearly feeling grouchy now that her whole life has been built on a lie. "Although mom had left, the dojo was running well! We stayed a float and you were known as a strong martial artist!" She shouted.

Gohan began to feel uncomfortable. "Videl-"

"What!?" She snapped turning on him.

"Wait here for just a minute." Gohan said. Suddenly he and her father were gone.

"Damn it!" She hissed. Oh, me and dad have a lot of talking to do...

The noise happened again and Gold Fighter stood before her.

"What was that for?!" She shouted. "I still had stuff I wanted to say!"

"It can wait till tonight. You need to get your thoughts together as much as he does." Gohan said grabbing her shoulders. "So calm down. Besides you have one last question to ask me..."

Videl fell silent at the reminder. I do... the letter. Thats one secret. Then today...thats two...

"I feel like I know which question you will ask me next..." The Gold Fighter whispered looking down into her blueish purple eyes.

Videl looked up at the golden haired, turquoise eyed man. "Who-...who are you really?" She whispered gently.

A.N. Annnd cue the cliff hanger. So I've gotten a job now. (party) Not really, its pretty shit but it's work and its temporary. That and my life this week has gotten greatly more busy. So I'm pretty swamped for writing till at least thursday really.

Also I'd like to announce that I intend to end this story SOON. Mainly because I don't want this to die again and me leave you guys hanging. What I intended to do when I started writing this story and how I still intend on having it be is this: How Gohan and Videl got together. The show was great and clearly inspired a shit ton of fans to take it into their own hands for G/V action. I wanted to see the action that helped spark Gohan and Videl to get together without the stupid Saiyaman bullshit. So, take this as an alert that Gohan and Videl are getting together soon and when that happens there may or may not be and epilogue.

After that, I may start up a Fairy Tail fanfiction with and OC. (Which I've never done, it'll be quite fascinating I think.) If you support that, let me know via Review. I'll be needing a name as well so if you want to see that story happen, help me out cause I suck at giving characters names.
