Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.
Jane was pulled back hard and slammed against a wall by her fellow work buddies and other uniforms.
It took about fifty to subdue her. She screamed and thrashed.
All she wanted at that moment was the rip Ian's head off.
He was just about to retreat back into his home until Jane got to him again.
After a few swift punches she was once subdued again.
Cavanaugh drove up and pushed his way to the scene and quickly got in between the two.
"Jane! Get your ass to the hospital now!" He understood how she felt, but killing someone in front of about fifty cops and neighbors wasn't going to fly well with the media.
She shrugged off all the hands that held her back and turned back to her car.
The vampire was yelling about pressing chargers when his father came out and shook his head no, a glare in his eyes.
"Don't be stupid…"He growled lowly.
"Inside now," he pushed his son hard and slammed the front door shut.
Three hours earlier…
Jane was happy, content, her guard down as the talent hands of the doctor eased all her muscles.
She never let anyone sit on her back just to give her a massage, she was always on guard, never trust anyone when her back was turned.
Maura rubbed her special lotion all over her aching muscles, her fingers tracing the pink scarred tissue wherever she felt them.
She bent down to kiss the back of the hybrids neck as her hands came in contact with her side.
A burst of laughter filled the room as Jane tried to control her volume.
Maura held her down and continued her torture, loving the way she squirmed, loving the child like laughter.
After five uncles in a row and a five minute make out session both women headed to the bathroom were they spent thirty minutes trying to get one another 'cleaned.'
In the daylight Maura could make out all the dark ink tattoos down her arm.
"I don't think I've ever dated someone with tattoos."
"Really." Jane arched a brow, flexing her shoulders as the hot water sprayed down her back.
"Would I lie to you Jane?" Maura walked her fingers over the trees and flowers and caressed her arm.
"Hmm, only because you can't miss hives." That comment earned her a playful slap then a passionate kiss.
As the coffee brewed Maura tried to get Jane to admit something she never told anyone.
While putting on her boots Jane smirked.
"I like to mark my territory…sometimes." Maura's face cracked into a smile.
"How so." Jane rolled her eyes and shot a knowing look towards the blonde.
"Never repeat what I'm about to tell you to anyone. One time when I got a bike I marked it, no supernatural even tried to steal it from me."
"Jane just to be sure we're talking about you urinating on things right?" Maura giggled uncontrollably as she was chased around the kitchen.
Both of their phones ring saving Maura from receiving the payback that Jane promised her earlier.
Jane's whole face scrunched up as she received the message from her frantic mother.
She glanced up at Maura who had the same look, "We have a body…they think it's Tommy…"
Jane gripped the steel blade in her hands as she stared at the dried blood that belonged to her brother.
She sighed in relief when it came back that her brother was just in the hospital and not laying in the morgue.
He had stab wounds to his shoulder and thigh but was going to be ok. The doctor had informed his family that he had to be sedated because he kept getting up trying to go back and fight Ian.
Frankie and Jane knew all too well how hard headed he was and knew Ian had got to him. He was known for his mind games, he figured out your weaknesses and used them against you.
Tommy obviously wanted to be a hero for once. He wanted Maura to be his of course, he wanted to show his family that he was worth a damn.
Jane understood, but hated his stupidity.
He could have very well been killed and his body would have never been found.
Ian was a smart bastard, he knew exactly where to strike, Tommy didn't know it yet but his whole right side could be paralyzed.
The doctor shook his head at how one person knew the main arteries that well.
They all gathered around him and comforted him with words and hugs. He smiled as a tear rolled down his face.
"I'm sorry Janie…" His voice shook with sympathy, it was the first time he ever apologized to Jane since Frank left.
She bent down and hugged him as she tried to keep in her on tears.
She took a leave of absence which Cavanaugh approved immediately after the brass chewed him out. Everyone patted her on the back as her solemn form made its way to her car.
As she made it to her apartment she noticed the door was ajar. She carefully took out her gun and walked in, scanning the whole area.
He noticed her before she could even blink.
"I like your place detective." Valmont blew out a puff of smoke, the sun was too his back as he sat by a window. His shades perched on his nose as he twirled his cigar between his fingers.
Jane placed her gun back in her holster and turned her full attention to the elder vampire.
"Thank you…my king." Jane had to bite her tongue to keep herself from saying swine.
He was dressed in his finest suits, his hair slicked back, his rings shining in the sun as he continuously stroked Jo.
She was at ease and didn't see him as a threat as she laid on his lap.
He took off his glasses, and yawned as he eyed the foil in the detective's hand.
Jane looked down at the shiny foil that moments ago had her brother's blood on it. She placed it down on the counter.
"I would have come by sooner," He caught the glint of the foil as it rested, "but I had pressing matters yesterday…Im sorry about your brother, I'm happy to inform you that Ian was punished severely."
He cracked his knuckles effortlessly, Jane pulled up a stool, her eyes never leaving his form.
Valmont was so calm, Jane knew she had to be on edge not knowing what he had up his sleeve.
He carefully sat Jo down on the floor and watched her as she trotted over to Jane, she yelped lightly and jumped into her owners lap.
Jane smiled down at her. "My brother's going to live sir, I can't blame Ian for my brother's injuries, I also apologies for my actions-."
"Jane be serious your actions were justafiable…your brother's a human, it goes against the challenge rules."
"Yet he still wanted to risk his life, Valmont my brother is an idiot granted, but he taught me something…"
She looked up from the fur ball in her lap to the vampire in front of her. "Chivalry isn't dead."
He smiled tightly and rose from his seat, "I suppose you are right... I want you to do something Jane. I want you to enter the challenge, two people already dropped out due to the recent events."
Jane closed her eyes and stood slowly allowing Jo to jump down.
She squared her shoulders and gave his response a thought. "I have faith that someone better will take him on and win."
"Jane." He spoke lowly, "who are you trying to fool, you think if someone else win's that they're going to let Maura go to you, no Jane. She's rich, beautiful, and an heir to her parent's estate…no one's going to let her go."
She let those words sink in, and shook her head, "If I may…not everyone's money hungry my king.."
"I hope your right detective for your sake." Valmont picked up his shades and cane and headed for the front door.
"Today i witnessed the fury that Vega left behind. It startled me at how strong you were in that moment…it was fascinatingly frightful."
He chuckled lowly as he opened the door. "I want to see it again Jane." He bowed and made his exit.
Jane let out a breath she had been holding, her knees shook at the pure power that he possessed even in the day time.
Valmont wanted her to enter and no one said no to the king; Valmont was a bit hesitant though, as if he was a bit scared of her.
He mentioned her father's name for a reason, he wanted to use him as ammo to finally give her that push.
Resting in her black scrubs, Maura stretched out on her couch. After the autopsy she waited on the tox screen reports to come back.
When they arrived she was startled to see what had caused this young males death. An over dose of some kind of serum that contained vampire and other unknown traces of blood.
The unknown vic was some kind of lycan, if not for the blood results his fangs would have been enough to go on.
She didn't want to guess but the fangs resembled something from the cat species, possibly a lion, "But what would a lion be doing in Boston."
The ME knew she had to do more blood test to get the exact animal.
She sent the reports upstairs quickly in hopes to get a start on the case, the Narcotics division may get involved because of the unknown substance.
She worried about Jane, after hearing that she nearly rearranged Ian's face Maura waited patiently for any word from her.
She sighed in relief when she got a message from Frankie about Tommy doing ok, but heard he could be paralyzed on one side.
Jane had went home and did not want to be disturbed.
Maura didn't care, after the night they had shared she felt an obligation to be there for the detective whether Jane wanted her there or not.
As the ME made it to her home she noticed a figure sitting on her doorstep, her heart caught in her throat as she noticed the curly mane.
She jumped out and ran to the figure, slowing down as her eyes meet hazel ones.
Jena stood up and smiled. The ME was shocked to have been pulled in a tight embrace.
"Jena what brings you my way," The ME brushed a few curls out of the teens face, she was so much like her detective.
Jena shrugged. "Just wanted to talk, I heard about what Jane did to that one guy."
"Ian, yes it's safe to say he had that coming, want you come in?"
Maura unlocked her repaired door and followed the teen inside.
The teen even walked liked the detective, she bent down and rubbed at Bass's shell and smiled.
"I love that you have a tortoise Ms. Isles."
"What?" Maura was so used to correcting others for confusing her pet with a turtle that she didn't' know how to respond.
"Tortoise, these guys are obviously different from turtles, they come from the testudinidae family. Also turtles can swim but when it comes to guys like Bass they can't."
Maura was beyond intrigued.
"Your an extraordinary teen…"
"Yea, I shock a lot of people with my knowledge, I was very interested in my bio classes."
"Jena I have never met anyone like you, maybe you could teach some of that to Jane."
They both chuckled, Jane was smart but knew she would leave all the deep terminologies to the brainiac's.
"So are you back in school?"
"I'm actually getting home schooled, uncle Corky think it's safer that way."
"If you ever need help, im always here." Maura wanted to help out in anyway.
"Thanks Ms. Isles-."
"Please call me Maura."
After scrubbing her foil for the fifth time Jane finally decided to stop. Her hands were red from the amount of pressure she imposed on them.
Joe waited patiently by the front door, ready to go out. She could sense that her master was distraught.
Jane heard the soft whimpers coming from her terrier and smiled sadly.
"I guess we both need some fresh air."
She didn't second guess herself when it came to what her body wanted. She walked aimlessly to the Beacon Hill resident and stopped in the drive way.
Jo ran up to the front door and barked wildly, ready to see her friend Bass.
She sighed as she caught another phone call, her mom called letting her know how her brother was doing. She didn't want to hear anymore of how he had trouble using his hand.
She knew the pain he was going through, her hands showed the scares that proved that.
Valmont's voice ringing in her ears along with Ian's wicked smirk was enough to drive her insane.
She was a hero in her own way, but who were these people who held her on a pedestal.
Jane knew she wasn't a superhero, she was the Lone Wolf; she fought her battles for herself, never for anyone else.
Why was she looked at as the good guy, why couldn't she be the bad guy and still be loved.
Would it be so bad to just want to be human for once, live a normal life; not have to worry about being the best?
She shook the negative thought from her head as her father's Spanish voice boomed inside her head.
'You were meant for greatness, don't let anything stop you.'
"Jane?"
Maura's voice was calm and hesitant as she approached the detective. All she wanted was to wrap her arms around the hybrid and never let go.
"…I can't take this anymore."
"I know Jane…I know…"
Maura held her close as her body sagged against hers.
"I'm so tired Maura…"
"Please come in Jane." The honey blonde took her hands and led her into her home, Jane shuffled slowly to the couch and fell face first into the cushion.
Korsak sat down beside Barry at the dirty robber. They knew that Jane was going to need a few days off for her sake and sanity.
"Those fucking Faulkner's." Barry grumbled lowly as he sipped his beer.
"They keep pushing her, I wonder why."
"Ian doesn't need a reason." Barry spat, "That asshole can't stand not being the best."
Vince signaled for another beer and shrugged. "Well, I think he may be involved in this new case, the lycan."
Barry swallowed slowly. "Did we ever get a name?"
"No, it doesn't make any sense though."
"Unless he's an illegal?"
They both were struck by the whole realization of foreign supernaturals coming into the states.
"The Lion lycan can only be found in Africa." Barry continued.
"There's one ship that sails from here to Africa and back." They both stood up and left quickly.
As the days passed, Jane found herself cuddled up on the sofa watching the latest baseball games.
Her phone was turned off which she knew would piss a couple of people off, mainly her mom.
Frankie came by and dropped off some clothes for her, knowing that she needed time away from everyone.
Maura had told him she was doing a bit better as time passed.
The ME was torn between wanting to discuss their relationship and taking care of the hybrid.
It seemed like fate was playing a cruel joke on her life.
A week had passed and surprisingly Jane had started to take calls again. Her brother Tommy had visited the week before in hopes to get her back on her feet.
She watched him struggle a bit as he sat down beside her. "Your doing it again."
She rolled her eyes. "You told me that if you ever got depressed to kick your ass."
She grimaced at the childhood memory.
"Tommy-"
"No, you listen to me…I'm ok, my right side will heal. Don't blame yourself Jane."
Tommy didn't stay to long after apologizing for stealing her father's foil he hugged her and walked to the front door, "Besides, all my buddies think I'm a badass now." He smirked
Jane turned around to catch his goofy grin. "I'm finally a hero Jane." He shut the door behind him leaving his sister to her own devices.
Jane got up to her feet as a bossy Maura pushed her up the stairs.
Maura had to practically dragged her to the shower, threating to wash her herself which the hybrid didn't object too.
As hard as it was Maura had objected to her on threat and shut the door with a smirk.
Jane noticed the weather change slowly as she sat by the window in a long grey tank top and shorts.
Jo came up to her happily ready for her walk; Jane picked up her dog and hugged her close.
Maura looked up from her book and observed her, she was slowly getting better.
Korsak and Barry held out their guns and yelled for everyone to halt.
The entire Boston Police Department was behind them ready to fire if necessary.
The workers that came off the ship held up their hands as they walked down to the pier.
Men women and children were walked off and were seated beside one another.
Barry lowered his weapon as his gut was right. Before they got a warrant they needed the ok from Cavanaugh who went to the brass.
The ship belonged to FI, Faulkner International. The ship usually transported goods, and foods from all over the world.
Now they could add illegal workers to that list.
Both detectives knew they needed to go the right way about this or knew this case good blow up in their faces.
Just as Cavanaugh expected, the Faulkner's were lawyered up to the t and were ready to make a deal.
The DA wanted Ian to be charged to answer for his crimes after it was found out that six hybrid children had died on the ship.
The whole city of Boston was in an uproar and wanted blood.
The media was all over the case with bold headlines on newspapers that read, 'Death to the King,' which stirred the fire.
Maura was prepared to give her testimony of what her autopsy discovered. More and more charges where building up against Ian, his father throughout the whole trial remained calm.
Maura studied his whole posture and knew he had something planed.
Jane had kept a low profile and watched the progress from her apartment.
Her mother busied herself as she cleaned the stove and moved to moping the floor.
Jane sighed in annoyance, "You really are making me feel bad."
"Honey I'm just doing what I know, go relax I'll make you something to eat."
Jane turned her attention back to the screen as news journalist announced breaking news.
"Ian Faulkner, son of Valmont and Monica has fled the country.."
Jane gripped the remote and snarled.
"Always running away when things get hot."
Jane walked back into the bullpen with a new stride.
Barry handed her the files she wanted as she sat down in her squeaky chair.
"It's good to be back." She said as she cracked her knuckles.
The case did blow over as more and more witnesses for Ian came to testify, turning him from an illegal smuggler to a saint.
Most of them were full blooded lycans who needed new homes and better living. Ian never was found which made the whole team groan.
"The only charge he has now is a misdemeanor."
Korsak slammed down the paper work on his on desk. "I was hoping to retire after this case,"He said solemnly.
Both Frost and Jane looked over at him with shocked eyes. The older detective just shrugged his shoulders and grabbed his jacket.
Jane wanted to walk after him but was too stunned to move.
The man that she had admired from her teen years was throwing in the towel.
Maura waited patiently at the door as she heard the terrier bark. The door opened and there stood the woman she fell in love with.
"So…"
"I talked to Valmont, in confidence mind you, he said he has no idea where his son is but let me know not to expect to see him for a long time…"
"So what happens to the challenge?" Jane had opened the door wider to let her in and walked into the kitchen.
"That's the crazy thing,it's still on, the challengers all have to fight each other and who's ever the successor will challenge Ian if he returns."
Jane rolled her eyes. "God when will it end?"
She opened up a bottle of wine and poured her and Maura a glass.
The room got quiet as both women tried to collect their thoughts.
Maura wanted to finally discuss their relationship.
"Jane…if I asked you to fight for me would you?" The brunette spun on her heel, her hands gripping the counter.
"Yes."
"Then I won't ask you."
"Why not." Maura walked into the kitchen and grabbed the detective by her shirt, looking up into her brown eyes.
"I love you Jane…" Maura smiled through glossy eyes. "I mean it, your all I want and I'm sorry for bringing you into this."
"Hey, I stuck around because I wanted too. Maura you are not a prize for anyone." Jane peppered her lips with kisses and held her tightly. "I love you too..."
Her admiration of the honey blonde showed in her eyes.
"You've been there for me when I was at my worst, Maura no one has stuck by my side like you have."
"You're without a doubt stronger than me, to marry someone just for there to be peace between hybrids and full supernaturals takes a lot of balls."
"Jane you know I don't have balls."
"It's a use of expression Maur." She chuckled lowly and held her tightly.
"So you do fence."
"I wasn't trying to hide it from you…"
"But you did." The ME gave her a stern look but softened when the hybrid pouted.
Jane had been through enough and she finally looked as if she was getting rest.
"I want to watch you some day."
"I'm not as good as you Maur." Her time from work led her to the discovery of Maura's trophie room.
To put it lightly, if Maura could fight for her own hand, she would win without a doubt.
"I know but maybe I could show you a few pointers."
Jane smiled and slowly lowered her head to Maura's closing the gap with a light kiss.
Maura had followed up on the strange serum that was found inside the hybrid. Jane sat in as she researched all the resources that could help them.
Jane was searching threw a list of names and stopped at one that belong to a local doctor.
She scrolled down the page on her phone and stopped abruptly, her whole body felt like someone just walked over her grave.
Maura noticed this and rushed to her side.
Jane looked at the photo questionably then looked at Maura for answers.
The ME shook her head from side to side disbelieving what she saw.
"Jane…it's my mother…my real mother."
