WHO: Blake & Dany
WHAT: Well, it's Joy & I. So figure talking, possible boobie touching before attempted murder. It's a thing we do.
WHERE: Blake's Home in Irvine.
WHEN: Friday Night.
WARNINGS: The boobie touching and violence.

John Blake wasn't stupid. People with nothing to hide rarely if ever had the feeling of being followed or fearing for their life on a day to day basis. The area didn't have a huge organized crime problem, but the Russian Mob had a presence, and he'd never shaken the feeling that Dany wasn't hiding something big.

Frankly, John smelled a rat. He didn't think Dany was in the wrong, but she knew something, and it scared her.

The whole mess was a lot more complicated than he had the full scope of. And he hated going in blind. Still, pressing her to talk would likely do no good. He'd have to wait it out. And white knight complex be damned, he'd let her stay over. He'd bet anything the brother was in something shady, and at least he could help her out a little.

Sure Viserys was in his own kind of trouble, but Dany was in a whole different world of it. Even an idiot could see that Dany was in some kind of trouble. She wasn't exactly the best at being covert. She was quite possibly the worst spy in the history of spies. Technically she wasn't even one. She was just a secretary. Or sexretary. Whichever.

Dany liked Blake and she felt safe with him even if they were just sitting around watching TV. She wasn't exactly the best at verbalizing the way she felt when it was genuine feeling, but she was pretty good at showing physical affection so she curled up close to Blake.

	Almost unthinkingly, he put an arm around her shoulders. John hadn't dated since Maria. A place his mind simply wasn't going to go to right now. Agent Hill (always Hill) hated him, and just made life a lot easier. Maybe he was finally moving on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dany could feel a rush of blood course through her body as Blake wrapped an arm around her. She smiled and rested her head on his shoulder as she tried to think of the right thing to say. "Thank you for having me," she whispered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Honestly, a lot about Dany was just confusing. On one hand, she was an woman entirely aware of her own attraction and it's effect on others.

On the other, she could be so strangely innocent. Maybe that was it. He just didn't know. And uncertainty made Blake so nervous.

"Hey, it's okay. Just bugs me that you've got this feeling. I don't ignore feelings." Like the one he had.

	"Maybe it was just an excuse to get to see you?" she replied, but it was obvious she was teasing. She had a grin on her lips. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	John cocked an eyebrow, chuckling under his breath. "Doesn't it ruin your master plan by telling me that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	motherofdragons 2012-08-04 12:37 am UTC (link)
	"Oops," Dany replied mischievously. She was certain that now was the time to make her move so she reached up to touch Blake's cheek with the back of her hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe it was time. Blake had been holding onto everything for a long, long time. He leaned into the touch, just slightly. "Probably should think these things through..." he teased back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I've always been more of a do-er myself," Dany replied softly as she leaned in and pressed a kiss against Blake's lips. It was soft and tentative so see how he would react to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The reaction was cautiously interested. Seriously, it'd been over a year. He wanted to ease into this, and she was respecting that.

Mostly.

John's hand went up to her cheek, touching it gently. He was a man at war with himself. Part of me said 'move on, this is a good start' and the other half said 'you know something's up here, wise up kid.'

Strange how the second half sounded so very Brooklyn.

Dany had already figured out her own internal conflict about the situation. Sure, he was a cop and that went against everything she and her brother stood for, but she liked him. She was going to give it a try if he was willing and it seemed like he was. At least a little.

She continued kissing him lightly for a little while longer and then pulled away just a little. "Is this okay?" she asked. She was trying to be respectful, but she really wanted to tear his clothes off.

	Honestly? John didn't know. "Yeah," he murmured, figuring a little make-out on the couch wasn't going to kill him, obviously. On a physical level, he was pretty much right there with her. Mental, he'd get back to her on it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	motherofdragons 2012-08-04 12:54 am UTC (link)
	"Good," Dany replied and then resumed the kissing. She would let Blake take it where he wanted it to go. He had been so hesitant up until this point she didn't want to ruin it by making him do something he really didn't want to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	comingback 2012-08-04 12:57 am UTC (link)
	Maybe he really wanted to do it. Pulling her closer, just subtlety, slowly, Blake just decided it was time. He liked Dany. He just hoped, as his hands began to wander, that he wasn't getting himself into a goddamned mess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	motherofdragons 2012-08-04 01:00 am UTC (link)
	He was. Even as Dany deepened the kiss and pulled herself up onto Blake's lap there was a sound like a gunshot and then the TV went out. It'd been hit, just a few feet behind them. Dany screamed, her heart racing. There really was someone after her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It was goddamned amazing how fast she was off his lap and instead being covered by his body on the floor.

In the least sexy way possible. (Depending on how you looked at it.)

Reaching for his holster by the side of the couch, Blake flipped the safety and scanned for the intruder. "It's fine. We're going to be fine," he whispered to her, trying to get to his radio.

	"Oh my god. What have I done?" Dany was just completely beside herself with fear and what was worse was she got Blake involved. "I should have never come over here. I'm sorry." She was crying as she picked herself up off of the floor, but stayed low behind the couch. Another gun shot went off, right into the back of the chair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Blake returned fire, mainly to make it clear they were armed and reached for his radio. "Officer under fire, 1587 Terrace, repeat Officer under fire, send back up." Blake turned his attention to Dany, entirely detached at this point. "We're going to be fine, I promise. Stay calm." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	motherofdragons 2012-08-04 01:15 am UTC (link)
	Dany sniffed up her tears and nodded to Blake. She shouldn't let him see her cry. She was supposed to be stronger than all of this. She was so strong in her dreams. Why couldn't she be that strong here too? A couple more shots were fired into the house until the shooters heard the sirens and took off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Blake returned fire, but when the backup arrived he helped Dany off the floor, taking her into the front room and wrapping a blanket around her without a word.

Shock was likely, in this sort of case.

He handed his pistol to the officers. An Internal Affairs investigation would be required, and he'd be on paid leave for at least a couple weeks.

The other, bigger questions could wait until he was done talking to the officers.

	Dany sat down with the blanket in total shock. There really was someone trying to kill her. She needed to find out who, but she could guess. It was probably Harper. Harper or it had to do with something Viserys was up to. Either way she was in serious danger. She was afraid she wouldn't live out the week and now Blake was involved. Why was she so stupid?

	comingback 2012-08-04 01:26 am UTC (link)
	The officers went outside to look around, and Blake sat down across from Dany on the chair in front of her. "I need to know what you know. We're going to get you in a safe location tonight, but until you're honest with me I can't help." He wasn't John right now. Officer Blake of the Irvine PD just didn't like getting shot at.

Hell, it could have been Viserys sending someone to watch her every move to make sure she wasn't sleeping with anyone else and when they saw Blake and Dany kissing they decided to break it up. Or it could have been her mother. Maybe she was angry that Dany had killed her husband?

Dany just shook her head and then buried her head in her hands. How was she supposed to explain this? She was a criminal even if the police didn't know it was Dany who killed the man who raised. her Viserys had been in jail for a good portion of his life. Neither of them could afford to have the police poking their noses around. Oh god. Viserys was going to be so angry.

"I don't know anything," Dany mumbled into her hands miserably.

	John was an officer, but he wasn't heartless. And he also knew when he just wouldn't get anywhere. "Okay. I don't want you upset, c'mon. We can talk about it in the morning. The officers will take you to the safehouse." He was getting a hotel, after making sure he wasn't tailed. This was not how he expected the night to end. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Dany was to numb to object to a safe house even though she knew though Viserys would be angry with her. He was going to be angry about a lot of things when she finally came home. Maybe that was one reason why she was okay with the safe house for now.

But she didn't forget that Blake was in this too. Her eyes widened and she clutched to his arms. "What about you?!" she asked, alarmed.

	"Don't worry. There's procedure." That he wasn't telling her. Blake felt a small amount of guilt for that. But only some. "I'll be fine." He had to call this in to his chief. God, what a mess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	motherofdragons 2012-08-04 01:52 am UTC (link)
	"I'm so sorry," was all Dany could really bring herself to say. She just felt miserable about everything. She never should have gone to get that cup of coffee with a police man. Now everything was a big mess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Blake knelt in front of her, shaking his head.

"Don't be." He simply wasn't that cold. That callous. "Look, I know something's up, and I understand. Well, that it exists."

No clue what it was.

"I just want to help you. Get safe, whatever that means for this."

Everything else was... well, off the table. Probably for awhile. He'd frozen right back up even at the idea. But she needed protecting, no question.

And John Blake would never back down from that.

Blake was being so kind to her and she didn't understand why. It just made her feel all that more intensely for him even though she knew this was a deal breaker for the both of them.

Dany wasn't sure she'd ever feel safe again. In fact she actually couldn't remember the last time she felt safe. Before her mother got pregnant. Maybe that was then, but it felt like ages ago. Everything had big one big mess after another since then. Now it was finally starting to catch up with her.

"Thank you," she said feebly. She wasn't sure what else there was to say.

	Blake stood up, nodding a little, putting a hand on her shoulder and squeezing. She had a protector. Just one currently in the dark. (Reply to this) (Parent)
