Chapter 146
Five-0 had raced to that dry cleaners, but Wo Fat and Rowan were gone, obviously with Steve cause he hadn't been there either. The tip off should have been when the pastel GTO wasn't in the empty parking lot but they searched the place anyway and they saw first hard the kind of carnage Rowan and Wo Fat had left in their wake. A dead body, a sterile white room with gassing vents, an upturned chair with leather straps, a soaked floor, a large metal bucket on its side, an ivy filled with who knows what left to drip on the floor and a discarded cattle prod.
It was during that walk through of horrors that they got the call. A single call from a hiccupping Rowan, crying so hard, talking so frantically that Danny barely understood her. But he got the gist. Rescue, Steven, drugged, hospital. Together the little Five-0 team stormed that hospital, found Rowan sitting by a sedated Steven. Danny stayed behind to get a detailed list of his injuries, while Kono and Chin interrogated Rowan and Grover called Duke to inform them that they had found Steven and needed a protective detail on him.
The very first question Kono had asked Rowan was: "Where's Wo Fat."
Her answer? "Gone."
She had let him leave.
That had brought up all the other questions. How much had she known? Why did she let Wo Fat take Steve? How could she have let him go? Why didn't she tell Five-0 what was happening when she figured out what Wo Fat had done?
And all she did was cry. She didn't answer those questions, they stopped asking her those questions after hearing her sob one simple sentence.
"I'm sorry… he… he lied…"
That was all they needed to know. Combine that with the fact that she hadn't been aware Steve was missing and they had figured it out. Wo Fat had lied to Rowan, they didn't know to what extent, but they were willing to look over that since she was the one that got him. No shots fired, no deaths, nothing. She just walked into that basement and pulled him out.
None of them could have done that.
They others had waited while Steve was tended to. His lungs drained, his wounds bandaged, the slash through his hairline stitched and his body drained of the poison Wo Fat had been pumping through him to get the truth out of him. Once he was out of danger, once he was just sleeping in his room at the hospital the others trickled out, but Rowan stayed.
And Danny made her tell him the truth.
She had not known that Wo Fat had grabbed Steven until Danny had shown up at the house looking for him. She had been dreaming about the situation months ago, but she had made Wo Fat promise not to, and she had thought the situation neutralized. Since the Reyes situation she had not dreamed right so she had not sensed oncoming danger otherwise she would have said something to him or the others. When she was made aware of the situation she had started trying to call him, his phone was off. She went to Kong and found out that the phone was offline entirely, she couldn't even use the app to locate or get a hold of him. Kong had no information on his location or plans either. She had called Adam because she had remembered a name, not what it meant, and something about a laundromat and Adam being the key to unlocking more info. With him on the hunt for her information, she purposely lost the HPD tail that Danny had put on her, and then hit up every one of Wo Fat's safe houses. He was not there.
The reason she hadn't told Five-0 was because she needed to find Wo Fat without them and before Steve attempted to escape on his own. She knew that her dreams had all ended the same way. With one of them dying, usually Wo Fat.
If she hadn't intervened, only one of them would have come out of that basement. And it probably wouldn't have been Wo Fat.
After getting all the answers from her, Danny had left. Only Rowan stayed by Steve's side. Stoic, quiet and weepy, curled up to his side despite what the nurses said to her, his cheek resting against the top of her head.
Danny returned in the morning and Rowan was back in the chair beside his bed, still awake, giant bags of exhaustion under her eyes. He offered to sit with him while she went to get a coffee, but she shook her head. Danny was officially concerned. She had never been this quiet before but Danny and Chin had established that the more upset she was the quieter she got.
So, Danny got her a tea that she didn't touch, handed her a tuna sandwich that she also didn't touch and the two of them sat together by Steve's bedside until the man finally decided to wake up.
When Steve's eyes opened, both Rowan and Danny had flanked him, her on his left, Danny on his right. Steve's eyes swung from Danny to Rowan, smiling more than warmly when he saw Rowan and then he looked around the room again his eyes suddenly narrowing, panic sweeping his features.
"Hey, you're alright, you're alright," Danny said trying to soothe him.
"Yeah," he said softly. "Hey… uh… hey… where's my… father? I want to see my dad. Where is he?"
Danny looked up to Rowan who just looked sad again. He thought his father was alive? Why hadn't she told any of them that?
Steve's eyes swung to Rowan, a hand coming to hers. "Are you okay? And the baby? Do we know the sex yet? You can get that at four months right? Do you want a boy or a girl? I want a boy… I'm not going to care either way… but a little boy I think would be… cute… right?"
Danny turned wide eyes to Rowan in complete and utter shock. Rowan was pregnant? She glanced to Danny who was glaring at her, and then back to Steve and his hopeful blue eyes and winced at him.
Steve's eyes narrowed at her. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Steve… your dad… he… he died, remember? Four years ago?" she said and Steve suddenly blinked his eyes as if remembering everything then and there. "Are you… okay?" she asked.
"Yeah… yeah…" he said quickly, clearly digesting that information and then he started to sob.
Rowan perched herself at the edge of the bed. She wrapped him up immediately and he let her do it, clinging to her like she was his life raft. "It's okay," she said to him. "I know, let it out. Just let it all out."
He cried silently into her for a little longer before he asked: "We're not married, are we?"
Oh wow, what the hell kind of drugs had Wo Fat given him? What ride had he gone on in the basement?
Cradling his head to her chest Rowan shook her head. "No, Steve, we're not. And I'm not pregnant, but as long as we're talking about it, I was hoping for two kids in my future, a boy and a girl, but I'd be happy with anything…"
Steve pulled his head out of her grasp and she trailed off as he stared up at her. He searched her face for a brief moment before he suddenly growled: "Your brother kidnapped and tortured me."
"Yes… Wo Fat did do that."
"Where is he?"
"Gone."
"Gone?"
"Gone," she repeated with a curt nod.
"You let him leave?"
Rowan bowed her head. "Yes. I don't know where he's going or where he will go. We're no longer on speaking terms. I did tell him that it would be best if he got off the island."
Danny's eyebrows skyrocketed up his forehead. She had cut Wo Fat out of her life? Had she really?
"Did you know he was going to do that to me?"
"I… uhm… well… I mean… sort of… but uh… but it wasn't supposed to happen…" she whispered. Well that didn't sound good.
"What does that mean, Rowan?" Steve growled.
"I… well… I had been dreaming about it… before" she said softly.
"Why didn't you tell me about it?" he asked sounding very betrayed.
Rowan just bowed her head again. "Because he told me he wouldn't go through with it."
"So, you took that information to him and not to me?"
"Well how would you have stopped it?" Rowan asked. "By putting a bullet between his eyes? I thought if I got to him first, and convinced him not to do it then no one would have to get hurt, no one would die."
"Yeah and how did that work out for you?" Steve snapped and Danny winced. God, couldn't he see that Rowan felt guilty enough about the situation? Now that he sort of understood what happened he understood her panic when he told her what had happened yesterday morning. She had been under the impression that Wo Fat wouldn't do it, but he had and clearly hadn't told her.
"Obviously not well," she admitted.
"And you expect me to believe that you just dropped him? Like that?"
"Yes Steven. He promised he wouldn't take you, he wouldn't do… do… any of that stuff to you. He promise and he did it anyway. Wo Fat and I are done."
"But you let him leave."
"Yes, Steven I let him leave. Just because we're done doesn't mean I wanted to see you two go at it again," she snapped. She took in the anger and she stood quickly. Immediately that anger turned into sudden panic flashing over Steve's face, a hand raising ready to dart out to grab her. "Clearly you don't believe me, I should go… I'm just making this worse…"
"No!" And there was that hand, darting out and grabbing her. "Don't, no, please. No, I'm sorry…"
"You need your rest," she said softly and he shook his head. "I'm upsetting you, you're mad at me… you're not gonna rest…"
"I don't sleep without you, you know that."
Rowan continued to stare at him. "Are you sure you want me to stay?"
"One hundred percent. Please. Just. Please?"
Rowan answered by settling herself down on the bed beside him just like she had in Afghanistan. "I'm sorry," she whispered to him. "I really am. I didn't think he'd really do it… I didn't…"
"You're the one that saved me, aren't you?" he asked softly and she nodded against him and he sighed. "Then I guess I should be the one thanking you, huh?"
Rowan just nuzzled into him. But unlike all the other times, though he held her to his side, he didn't press into it. Danny predicted troubled waters ahead for the sickeningly cute couple. Just so long as it didn't put a permanent rift into them, they should be able to bounce back… because if this ended them… ohh Danny didn't even want to think about how bad that would be.
H5O-H5O-H5O-H5O
Steve was cleared to leave the following day. Rowan had stayed with him the whole time and part of him was both grateful and angry. Angry because she knew what Wo Fat was going to do and she had let him do it, but grateful because having her with him soothed him, soothed the lingering worries and fears, and kept him calm and firmly grounded in reality.
He promised me. That was what she had said. He promised me he wouldn't. The man was a professional liar, how the hell had she thought that he would have kept that promise? Any promise at that fact? But he was also too afraid to argue with her because that dream world lingered in the back of his mind.
A world, an amazing world where he and Rowan had met under normal circumstances. Where she hadn't been psychic, she didn't have magic void powers, she wasn't going to leave him to go back to her world because she had married him and he had gotten her pregnant and he… he loved her so very, very much.
And that terrified him.
Of course it would. It terrified him just thinking about making her his girlfriend, but his subconscious took him to a completely different level. Married, baby on the way, every other sentence he thought was god I love her. He'd have done anything for her in that dream world, he gave up the Navy for her in that dream world, and coming to, being in reality, he had quickly realized that none of that had changed. He'd still do anything for her, whether Wo Fat was still her brother or not, whether or not she knew what he was going to do and let him do it. He knew… if asked… if she actually looked him in the eye and asked him to leave Five-0 for her and a baby that may be on the way he'd do it.
His heart was already lost to her. That was clear as day. He was well and truly screwed. His heart was given away all right, given away and in the hands of a woman who would let her brother torture him.
Returning home, on a regimen of pain meds, with a grumble in his chest from all the water he inhaled and a puffer to help him breathe, Rowan behind him having come out of the car last, Steve was relieved. Relieved because he wanted his own bed. Wanted to sit out on his Lanai and figure all of this out. He needed to smother that ache in his chest, the one that shoved those damning words up into his throat.
He had a whole speech choking him at that point.
Don't leave me. Please. I'll give you that label, I'll marry you. Just please, if that door to the void opens, don't leave me.
But the most damning words were: I love you.
Every time they rose up into his throat his whole body would sway with the desperate need to shove them back down. Which was what he was dealing with just at that moment. She had just come through the door, and the light was hitting her just right.
He'd have been stupid if he thought she hadn't noticed his strange behaviour. Hell, Danny and the other Five-0's who had come to visit him the night before had noticed. She felt guilty, they had told him, she hadn't known about the situation until Danny had told her and she was already killing herself over what happened, stop making it worse for her.
But it wasn't Rowan who had been strapped to a chair and water boarded. She hadn't been soaked with water and then electrocuted. She hadn't been drugged. And… well… thank god… because if it had been her Steve would have broken instantly, just thinking about her in that situation was crippling. But it didn't change the fact that he was the one who had been through something traumatic… not her.
"Are you okay?" she asked, coming to his side.
He was clinging to his dad's recliner, the leather in a vice grip under his fingers. The swell, that need to spout those stupid words to her, was strangling the life out of him. Her hands went to steady his shaking form but he knew, he knew if she touched him, he'd spill all of that nonsense to her and he wasn't ready to admit that. Not yet.
"Don't!" he barked before her hands could touch him. He turned away from the pain in her eyes. Turned away before the guilt could smother him. Hated that her hands darted away from him. "Just… stop it, Rowan. I'm fine."
"But you're… you look like you're about to fall over… if you'd just let me help you…"
Those hands reached for him again and he struggled to take a step away. "No! Stop it. Just… Just go. Just go away, Rowan. Leave me alone!"
He stood there heaving, refusing to look at her, just knowing that her hands had retracted, she had taken a step away and she had gone quiet.
Problem was, when he finally turned to her, finally got himself under control and he knew he'd have to apologize, tell her that he just didn't want her to hover, that he felt smothered or something stupid like that and that he didn't really want her to leave, Rowan was no longer standing beside him.
His front door was wide open the house was empty.
Rowan was gone.
Again.
H5O-H5O-H5O-H5O
She hadn't taken her car. She hadn't taken her keys or her wallet. She had taken nothing because in this world nothing belonged to her and she wanted nothing Steve or anyone else could trace her with.
She had done this before. She had run. Gone underground, or had tried to but it hadn't worked because Steven had found her.
He always found her.
No matter where she went and who she hid with. Someone always told him where she was.
She didn't think he'd go looking this time. She knew he was mad at her for what happened. She understood that. She figured he thought she liked Wo Fat more, as that was the usual complaint he made, that she had chosen to warn him instead of warning Steve. She already felt guilty enough over what happened, of not seeing the signs in time to stop the whole situation from happening. But she didn't think she deserved… well… this.
Just go away.
Those words kept echoing in her head. Those were words he promised he'd never utter at her again. They were the words her brother shouted at her when he found out she was going to go solo. They were the words her best friend shouted at her when she suggested that she tell her baby's father the truth. They were the words her mother shouted at her when she did something that didn't fit the perfect image her mother wanted to create for their family.
Just go away.
Were the words that burned her. They were the words that hurt her more than anything, because all Rowan had ever really wanted was to belong. To be wanted.
But as the criminal of her family, her mother hadn't wanted her. As the idiot of her family, her father had been embarrassed by her. As the successful one in the family, her brother had resented her. And here, well… the one person she trusted to always want her, simply because he promised her he always would, had just told her he didn't want her anymore either.
What she really wanted was Wo Fat. The one person who had wanted her no matter what she did had been Wo Fat, and he was the first person she wanted call as soon as Steve uttered those words. He would have understood, he would have taken her in with open arms and told him Steve was stupid and she deserved better.
But she couldn't call him now. Not anymore. Not after what had happened two days ago. Not after what he had done to Steve. Which meant Rowan was alone.
Rowan did not do well when she was alone. She did really, really bad things, made really bad decisions when she was alone. The sociopath came right out of her when she was alone.
It was why she tried very hard, not to be alone.
Not to mention, she had no money on her person, no mode of transport, no passport to even fly out of the country if she wanted to try restarting somewhere else. All she had was the clothes on her back and a need to put as much distance between Steve and herself as she could with such limited means.
And she needed somewhere to hide. Somewhere Steven wouldn't look. Somewhere quiet where she could figure out her next move, wait until Steve had a case, and then return to his place to retrieve everything she had left and maybe enough money to buy a fake passport… oh where the hell would she get that? She couldn't go to Kamekona, he'd just call McGarrett and tell him what she was doing.
So Rowan went to someone who owed her a favour. She had to wait for the one of Steve's main Five-0's to leave but once he was gone she calmly walked out from behind the trees she had been hiding behind. She walked up the path way, certain that she was done crying and quickly rapped on the door.
By the time she heard footsteps the tears she had thought were done were back. They had started bubbling up and she couldn't stop them. By the time the door opened she was full out sobbing, shocking the person who had opened the door.
"I have… nowhere… else… to go…" she cried and then folded in onto herself and let the pain take over as he hugged her quickly and then pulled her inside before anyone could see her.
H5O-H5O-H5O-H5O
The first thing Steve did was call Chin with a simple order: Use the app, find her. Except the app was all greyed out, Chin was unable to use the damn thing. Well wasn't that just peachy? First Wo Fat tortured him, then Rowan went missing, and now the app wasn't working for the only person on the team who had access.
Her phone and wallet were in her car, all her cards were accounted for. He didn't know if she had cash on her. He had gone personally to each of his friend's houses, starting with Grover and including Adam's to search for her, none of them had seen her. Well, he went to all the houses personally except for Jerry's because Chin had been there when Steve had called and she hadn't shown up while he was there.
Steve was descending a little bit more into a frantic panic with each minute she was missing.
Danny hadn't left his side since Steve had called him frantically looking for Rowan. All his friends had asked what had sent her running this time, Danny more frequently than the others, as they all knew by now that Rowan didn't just run for no reason. But Steve couldn't bring himself to admit what he had done. That he had said something worse than accusing her of being monstrous. If he looked his friends in the eye and told them that he had told her to leave again they'd all just tell him he was an idiot.
And he knew that. But none of their lectures that would bring her back, now would it? And he couldn't apologize if he didn't know where she was.
But when Chin confirmed that the app was permanently down for him, Steve lost it. Because now he knew for certain that Wo Fat was involved. And if Wo Fat was involved and he had Rowan it was only a matter of time before he took her off the island and if he did that Steve wouldn't see her again. So he made Danny drive him to Kong's and, yes, he had let Danny drive because he couldn't operate heavy machinery under the influence of his pain meds.
He kicked down the door to Kong's office and bore down on the man who looked very surprised to see him.
"Where is she?!" he thundered into the man's surprised face.
Kong Liang blinked his eyes. "Uh… who?"
Steve practically launched himself at Kong, and he would have got him if the man hadn't thrown himself back and out of his chair and Danny hadn't grabbed him.
"I know he has her, you took Chin's access to the app away," he shouted struggling to throw Danny off of him. "WHERE IS SHE?!"
Kong's head popped up behind his desk looking like a gopher poking its head out of its hole. He stood carefully, concern on his features. "Do you mean Rowan?"
Steve roared and threw Danny off him. As soon as he was free, he had jumped the desk and tackled Kong, pinning him to the wall. "I know he has her. I know you're involved. You're going to tell me where she is," he growled into Kong's frightened but confused face.
"That's quite the obsession you have for that girl, Commander," Kong hissed and Steve felt everything in him tighten. "And I'm not going to talk to you until you get off me. Now get off."
"He's not taking her from me," Steve growled, keeping Kong pinned by the lapels of his grey dress shirt. "He's not taking her off the island, he's not activating that… that… option… whatever it's called."
"Get him off me," Kong said to Danny, who was still trying to tug Steve off but Steve wouldn't let go.
"Steve he's not going to answer if you're manhandling him, let him go, and he'll talk, right?" Danny asked. But even though Kong had agreed, Steve still didn't let him go. It wasn't until Danny actually, physically uncurled one of his hands for him did he finally let go of Kong and let Danny pull him away and back in front of the desk where he belonged.
"Alright, here is what I can tell you. We have not activated the Captain America Contingency Plan…"
"Whoa… wait… what? Captain America Contingency Plan?" Danny asked.
Kong nodded. "It was an option that only Rowan could activate, if she needed to get away from you." Kong spat at Steve who looked away from him. He then turned back to Danny. "Wo Fat specifically put that in after your friend over there arrested her the third time without probable cause."
That's what that was for? She hadn't said told him that the Captain America Contingency Plan was to get her away from him if he went on another one of those power trips. She said she had one for getting off the island in general. He had no idea that they had an escape plan to get away from him specifically? That was an option on the app? Wo Fat had thought that necessary? Why… why was that a thing?
"Was?" Danny asked.
"Yes. Was," Kong confirmed. "I got the orders yesterday to shut the app down."
What?!
"This was only the greatest piece of work I had ever managed to create, and sure, the two of them have a disagreement, she kicks him out of her life and he's all well if I'm leaving so's the app and now it's gone. So now to answer your question, Commander. I don't know where Rowan is. I don't have her. Wo Fat sure as hell doesn't have her. There's no tracking her, and there's no way for the app to be activated to find her, or help her."
"You're lying," Steve hissed.
Kong shook his head. "I'm sorry, Commander, I don't know where your girl is. And with the app down there's no way for her to call anyone for help."
"Call him," he ordered.
"Uh… I don't think that's a good idea," Kong said. "He uh… he hasn't been taking this well."
"CALL HIM!" Steve shouted and Kong flinched. He pulled a phone out of a desk drawer, a burner. There was silence as he dialed a number and waited for the phone to ring.
After a second he said: "Hey. I've got a visitor that wants to talk to you."
He then handed the phone to Steve who took it. "Where is she?" he said once the phone was to his ear.
Silence was met by that. "What the… McGarrett?"
"Don't play dumb. Where is she?" he repeated.
Silence followed that question and then he heard the laughter, the same kind of devious malicious deep chuckles, that raised the hair up on the back of his neck. "Oh this is rich. This is absolutely fucking hilarious. I haven't been gone a full fucking day and you've already lost her?!"
"I know you have her…."
"I have her?" he echoed. "You think I have her? Have you no idea what happened?"
"What are you…?"
"She dumped me McGarrett," he spat out. "She finally did it. She chose you. After everything I've done for her, she kicked me right out of her life… for you."
"She… did?"
"You've won, McGarrett, Rowan is all yours. The app is down and I'm gone. She is no longer my problem. So whatever you've done this time… well… it's up to you to fix it yourself."
And just like that the phone call was over. Kong took the phone from Steve's numb fingers before it could drop from his grip. He couldn't believe it. She had actually cut Wo Fat out of her life. She had been that mad over what happened that she ended things?
Was that because she felt guilty, or because Wo Fat acted against explicit orders not to, like she had said he had? He didn't know and couldn't ask her because she had left. But if Wo Fat really was gone, if the app was really down then… then she had actually done it. She had finally picked him. Steve had gotten what he had wanted since Wo Fat had kidnapped her just a little over a year ago. Wo Fat was finally out of her life. And he had thought… he had told her to leave.
What had Steven done?
"Have I sufficiently answered your questions McGarrett?" he asked his voice as oily as his hair. "I assume I have, so I'm going to ask you to leave my office, I'll be sending you a bill for the door."
Danny grabbed Steve and tugged him towards the door. "Let me just leave you with one thing, Commander McGarrett… without us backing her, that girl's gonna be dead in a week. I would recommend finding her as soon as possible and then keeping her under lock and key because once they know she's not under his protection everyone's going to come out of the woodwork to pay her back for all the misery she caused."
Danny scowled at him but managed to tug Steve out of the office and then had to lead him, practically holding him body up, out of the building. Luckily Steve's legs didn't give out until he got to the car, but Danny still had to help him get in. Steve's numbness had taken over, he couldn't believe that this had happened. She had… she had cut the problem out of their lives, she had fixed the problem, without him having to ask her to and he had told her to leave.
Where had she gone? If she didn't have the app, if she didn't have Wo Fat… where had she gone? She couldn't have jumped into the void he would have felt it if she had, and she hadn't been able to open the void since Wo Fat had kidnapped her.
"Okay… okay…" Danny said as he slid into the driver's side of the Camaro. "We have to think. She's got no app… she doesn't have Wo Fat… is it possible that she's gone back home?"
"I told her to leave," Steve uttered into the silence that followed all of Danny's questions. It didn't answer any of his musings, but it answered the question both Danny and the rest of the Five-0's had been asking him since rowan had vanished. Danny turned to him with wide incredulous eyes and though Steve wasn't looking at him, he shrunk under the gaze.
"I'm sorry… you did what?"
"I… I told her to leave." He repeated.
"Are you out of your fucking mind?" Danny thundered. "Steve! You know how she reacts to that. You know what she's like when she's alone! You know how you are when she's gone! Why the hell would you say that to her?"
"Because it wouldn't stop choking me," Steve sobbed. "I couldn't breathe, I couldn't stop wanting to say it, and I'm scared of it, I'm scared of how much it hurts and how deep it goes and she knew. She knew he had me!"
Danny took that in, took in Steve's shaking body and the panic in his eyes and Steve could see that he had no intention of asking him to clarify the utter gibberish that had just come out of his mouth.
"I've already told you this, but I'm going to try telling you again and maybe this time you'll believe me. When I went to see Rowan that day, to see if she knew where you were, she had no idea you were gone," Danny told him and Steve's heart practically stopped beating in his chest. "Until I told her that we found your car, shot up and without you in it, she thought you ditched getting her malasadas and having breakfast with her for our sting operation."
Danny had told him this before, but he thought it another lie. Another thing people were telling him, Danny and Rowan already had an understanding after Reyes, it made sense that he'd cover for her again. But knowing now that she had actually dropped Wo Fat, he was starting to see everything in a completely different light. Add in the fact that she had believed that he abandoned their breakfast date for work was absolutely heart wrenching. He kept telling her that she was just as important as work clearly she still had not gotten that.
"Okay. So. She's feeling isolated. She thinks you want her gone. Which means she's not going to come to any of us, cause she thinks that we're on your side and will give her up. She doesn't have her app, she doesn't have Wo. So, I ask you again. Where would she go?"
Steve turned to Danny. "She'd go home."
"She can't, she doesn't have a passport, unless we think Fat got her a fake one," Danny said.
That was true. And she didn't have her cards either. Which meant she couldn't go out and buy one.
So where would she go?
He didn't know.
