*Cry-Baby's concern returned in a flash at her expression.*
"You are hurt," *he said, trying not to sound accusatory.* "Don't ya trust me?"
*He leaned his cheek on her palm.*
"I told you already--you ain't losin' me like that. But what about you?"

*Brandi blushed terribly.*
"Of course I do. I just...it's a bit embarrassing. And..."
*She pulled the robe tighter around herself.*
"It's somewhere that...I mean...I don't want to lead you all into temptation or anything. It's not that bad. I got it cleaned up. At least...as much as I could manage on my own."

*Cry-Baby frowned.*
"Much as it pains me to say it, I'm not gonna be tempted to do somethin' that might hurt you. You want an extra set of eyes that can actually see your back, I can do that."

It's a bit lower actually.
*Brandi paused, sucking her lip, before lowering the robe off her shoulders.*
"It's...not on my back."
*She started to lift the hem of her gown timidly.*

*Cry-Baby took a deep breath, steeling himself for the task ahead. He knew he was feeling rage at whoever done this to his girl, but he was sad that his first acquaintance with her backside was under such circumstances.*
"It's okay, baby. You just show me what I need to do."

*Brandi lifted the hem up around her waist, exposing her pale backside. She winced as she pulled back the fresh bandage to reveal the swollen X in the flesh beneath it.*
"I tried...but the angle is all funny. I just don't want it to get infected."
*She sucked her lip shyly.*

*Cry-Baby hissed in sympathy when he saw it, but his next reaction was of anger. He tried to control his voice.*
"Yeah. Don't want that."
*He stepped to the dresser and unpacked her first aid supplies. He'd been in enough scrapes to know the workings of it. He cleaned the wounds and dressed them, all the while fuming inside about who had marked his pretty girl's flesh this way. Finally, done, he turned her so he could look at her face.*
"Brandi, this ain't right. I don't care what anyone thinks you done, you gotta let me see to him."

*Brandi lowered her nightgown as he finished.*
"Thank you...I appreciate you seeing to it."
*At his suggestion her eyes widened and she quickly shook her head.*
"No, Baby...you can't. Please understand...he'll kill you."
*She took his hands and gazed up to him imploringly.*
"I couldn't live with that...without having you with me."

*Cry-Baby wrapped his arms around her, looking into the distance as if he could see his revenge.*
"But don't you see? I gotta make it right. It won't ever be right, if we have to live in a world where this kinda thing can happen to a girl like you. It don't make sense."

*Brandi's heart ached as she looked up to him.*
"Baby...please. If I..."
Did she really want to do this?
"This man...he isn't normal. Just like his bike isn't normal. It wouldn't be a rumble, it would end very, very badly. Can't you just trust me?"
*She snuggled against him.*
"Can't I just stay here with you?"
Dear Lord, I sound like Sylvia. I hope I'm not going soft.

*Reluctantly, Cry-baby pulled back.*
"Bike? Brandi, is this about..." *he swallowed.* "...My bike?"

Oh craps. So much for that plan.
*Brandi lowered her eyes and turned away with a hint of a shrug. Her voice was timid as she tried to explain.*
"Baby...I just...I knew how much it meant to you and Jeremy suggested I give it to you and then turned around and picked War right back up. Who would've thought?... And it was just laying around...I didn't think he would be coming back...I just wanted you to be happy."
*She looked back to him with tenderness in her eyes. Placing her hands on his chest, she looked up with a sad smile.*
"It's a small price to pay to see you smile like that. And look! Bonus angst! For that I would suffer much worse."
And I might still.
*Her smiled warmed and she stroked his cheek.*
"I already told you, this is nothing."

*Cry-Baby stared at her, aghast.*
"Nothing? That ain't nothin', Brandi--I been in scrapes before that I couldn't walk after, but I ain't never seen somethin' that deliberate done against a girl. Don't you understand? I love that bike because you gave it to me. Don't you know you can have my smile for free?"

*Brandi searched his eyes for a long moment and flung her arms around his neck pulling him into a sudden passionate kiss. She shoved him back on the bed and lifted her gown to straddle him, kissing him once more.*
"Then let me have your smile now. Help me forget the things I can't change."

"Mmpf!" *Cry-baby said happily as he landed on the bed. She was climbing him like a squirrel with a pitbull on its heels did a tree, and he wasn't complaining. He ran his hands up her legs, and smiled softly up at her.*
"How should I do that?"
