Deckard entered the room as Val slipped a shirt on her body, the small bump was clearly visible. "I'm not letting you go through with this." He said, sitting down at the edge of the soft bed. "That's not your decision to make, Deck." She argued back.

"Could you just sit down and think for a minute?" Val glared at him before sitting beside him, he rolled his eyes at her immaturity, grabbing her hips and pulled her onto his lap. "Don't be so stubborn." He told her, she rolled her eyes but broke out a small smile.

"Look your bump is already visible, if Brixton finds out, assuming he hasn't already then imagine what he'll do to you. He's obsessed with you." Deck said, placing his hands on her stomach. Valerie sighed and leaned her head on his. "I know, I know. But Deck, I'm Valerie fuckin' Shaw nobody lays a finger on me unless they want to die."

Deck cracked a smile, loving the way his last name fit her. "Promise me you'll be safe. I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you." Deckard said, cupping her face in his hands.

"I promise. After this, I'm gonna tell you about Italy. I want you to hear it from me, not Owen." Valerie smiled softly, Deckard nodded pushing away the concern he pressed his lips against hers. "I love you." They said simultaneously, chuckling softly and embracing one another.

Valerie was in the bathroom, cutting her hair quite the bit shorter when Hattie came in with some clothes. "I like the new look. It screams hot mom." Hattie smiled, causing Valerie to let out a small laugh. "Can you promise me something?" Valerie suddenly asked, causing Hattie to lose her smile and walk up to her, setting down the clothes on the sink.

"Of course."

"Don't let Deckard do anything stupid if something happens to me. I can't let him blame himself." Valerie said, looking at her appearance in the mirror. She was wearing any makeup so she was in her natural beauty state. Hattie grew serious, taking one of Valerie's hands.

"No. Because nothing is going to happen to you. I'll protect you and that baby with my last breath. You and Deckard deserve a family more than anyone, I won't let anything happen to either of you so don't think like that," Hattie stated. Val' lips trembled, turning into silent sobbing she was pulled into Hatties warm embrace.

"I just keep thinking why is this happening to me? I'm not supposed to be able to carry a baby and now that I am someone wants me dead or worse. What am I supposed to do?" Val cried, holding onto Hattie who nodded and understood her tears. "You don't do anything. Let us take of it for once." Hattie said firmly.

Valerie nodded, wiping her tears from her face. Taking a breath she looked at herself in the mirror, "You are the most deadly assassin in the world and you will not go down by the hands of some obsessive ex boyfriend. You are Valerie fuckin' Shaw." Hattie said, a sadistic smirk appearing on Vals face.

"I'm Valerie fuckin' Shaw." Val smirked, Hattie sent an approving look and exited the bathroom with a proud smile.

Val got dressed in the outfit I'm which consists of a full body suit with a utility belt and tons of pockets in which stored dangerous weapons. Valerie walked downstairs to meet with the rest of the group, Margarita smirked, "The old suit still fits. I always loved that one," She smiled genuinely.

"It was the easiest to clean, especially with the blood." Val chuckled, pressing a kiss to Margarita' cheek.

Deckard walked over, holding his hands on her waist, "Be careful." Valerie nodded and placed a kiss to his lips. Pulling from his grasp she walked over to Hattie and Margarita, walking outside to meet with Brixton. Margarita put the handcuffs on Valerie and Hattie, knowing they would be able to get out of them in known time.

"How'd you find them?" Brixton asked, keeping his eyes specifically on Valerie who smirked at him. Hattie kept her gaze down.

"You've heard about me. I'm good at my job." Margarita responded simply. Valerie glanced at Margarita and then to Brixton. "Were they alone?" He asked. Valerie rolled her eyes knowing he was going to ask a million questions. Criminals lie, why would they tell him the bloody truth?

"Yeah." She replied.

"If you're lying to me, I will cut your heart out. Do you understand?" Brixton turned his gaze to Margarita who clearly wasn't fazed by the threat. But before she could respond Val butted in, "You don't have to guts to, Brix." Val smiled, knowing he would be pissed with the old nickname she used for him.

"See you still got that sharp tongue. Get the blonde on chopper, Val' mine." Brixton placed his hand on her waist, leaning close to her ear. "Make one wrong move and I'll put a bullet through your head." He pressed a light kiss to her neck, making her mentally cringe. Brixton unbuckled her weapons belt, handing it to someone.

Taking out all her weapons, making sure to pat her down swiftly because she was lean on always having a backup weapon. "Don't by so paranoid, Brix. It doesn't look good on you." Val walked past him, stepping in the copper and sitting next to Hattie who was also patted down for any weapons. Fortunately they didn't know that she always had a backup for her backup.

Brixton sat right next to Valerie, knowing how dangerous she was he would be the only one to keep her down. "How's Malina doin'?" Brixton asked, getting a sharp glare from Valerie.

"You ever spit my mother's name out of your mouth again and I'll have no problem shutting you up." Val snarled, Brixton let out a small chuckle. "I've hit a nerve, you definitely wouldn't be happy if I told you I have Maddie in my possession." Valerie' breath caught in her throat, refusing to believe he had her best friend who was supposed to be dead.

"Who's Maddie?" Hattie asked Val.

"You're lying. Maddie is dead. I would know, it's my fault," Valerie ignored Hattie' question, Brixton laughed humorously. "And she's very keen on her revenge." Brixton mused, pulling out a tablet, handing it to Valerie's cuffed hands. Valerie clicked on the screen, showing Maddie lying down passed out in a cell.

"What did you do to her?"

"Relax, she's gonna be fine. But I think she's very worthy of being enhanced like me." Brixton smirked, taking the tablet back and putting it away.

Valerie looked at Hattie who was still very confused. "Maddie was an old friend, we met at a race. She became my partner for a short time, we had this job and we were in a building. It caught fire and I couldn't get her out in time or I'd die myself. She's supposed to be dead." Valerie explained, a tear in her eyes that she wiped away quickly.
