Dex sat in the emergency room, waiting for news. He didn't know how long he had been there, minutes, hours..
It felt like days. Like eternity. But at the seem time it felt like time had stopped to exist. The voices screaming in his head, whispers crawled their way through the screams. He held his head in his hands as he tried to breath.
A voice broke through his train of thought. He looked up for only a second to see that Ally stood there, next to her an older woman.
Ally said something to to woman before she walked up to Dex and plopped down in the chair next to him.
“Any news yet ?” she sounded as tired as he was.
He just shook his head.
“Grandma brought me here. The FBI wants to talk to me again about what happened.” Ally tried to get a conversation.
“Just tell them what you know. It will be fine, kid.” he told her.
“I wanted to help her.. looks like I ended up being the one to get her killed.” Ally looked down at her feet.
Dex looked at her now “She's not dead.” not yet, he thought to himself “And you didn't cause this, kid. Reed shot her. (y/n) just..”
“Yeah... she always helps everyone.” she said quietly “She was trying to escape when I bumped into her. She told me something.. something involving you.”
Dex looked at her with interest “What did she say ?”
“She said Wilson Fisk told Reed where she was, Fisk wanted her dead because she knows you.” Ally explained.
Dex looked away from her as he processed the new information. Fisk had tried to twist his mind, tried to get him to believe that society would never accept someone like him. He didn't believe one word of the bullshit he was trying to sell him, in the past he might have but since meeting you he was more confident. Fisk must have found out about your existence, must have seen you as a block in his plans.
“She said that ?” Dex asked Ally for confirmation.
Ally nodded “ What does Fisk want with you ?”
Dex didn't answer as he stood up from the chair, ignoring her question “Will you and your grandmother stay here ? I'll be back soon.”
Ally looked at him suspiciously “Yeah.. but.. what are you going to do ?”
“Just.. stay. Please ? ” he kept his voice in control “And uh... let's keep this information between us, alright ?”
“Okay..” Ally watched him walk away, unaware of his intentions.
O o o o o oo OOO Oooo o o o o o oo ooo OO oo o oOO OoO O O Oo O O oOO O oo
Light made it's way to your eyes when you opened them and you groaned at the sight, you already felt dizzy.
Ally jumped up from the chair and placed her hands on your arm excitedly “Oh my god ! I thought you were dead.”
You couldn't believe Ally was alive, you wondered if you had died.
“But... Shaw.. he shot you..” your head was hurting with questions.
She quickly shook her head “No ! No, the fed shot that asshole. He's dead.”
“DEX?!” you asked in shock not knowing how to interprent that.
“What ? OH NO I MEAN SHAW. Shaw is dead. Dex shot him. He saved us, well the FBI showed up as well because I borrowed some stuff from that Nadeem guy and guess he was salty..” she trailed off.
“Borrowed, huh ?” you picked up on that “ You stole from a federal agent ?”
She shrugged her shoulders “At least it got their attention. And maybe they figured that I would try and help you. Could be why they showed up.”
You tried to sit up in the bed but winced in pain when you did “Ah shit.” your hand went to your side.
“Oh yeah. And you got shot.” she stated the obvious.
“Gross.” you said and she let out a laugh.
“It looked worse with all the blood though. The fed almost lost it, he prevented you from bleeding out.” Ally sat down on the side of the bed now. “I thought you were going to die. So did he. He doesn't know you're awake yet. He left a while ago. I thought he'd be back by morning but..”
You couldn't imagine what Dex must have been through when he found you bleeding out on the ground. He had saved you, you would have bled out without him.
“I'm sure he'll be here soon, looks like he's pretty in love with you.” Ally tried to lift your spirits.
You nodded and gave a small smile “You said your dad was shot ? Did he...” you left the question open.
She shook her head “No. He uh.. he woke up. The doctor's say that it'll be a while before he will be back to normal. I'm staying with my grandma Nancy in the meantime.”
Your eyes widened “Nancy is your grandmother ? Bob... damnit.. Shaw destroyed everything.”
“Not everything.” Ally corrected you and you took her hand, giving it a squeeze.
A knock on the door made Ally jump of the bed, before someone would enter.
Your heart skipped a beat when you saw who it was. Even in his tired state he still stole your heart.
“Dex !” you smiled brightly. He seemed amazed that you were awake, or alive even.
He took two big paces and he was by your side “(y/n) ! You scared the hell out of me.” his hand cupped your cheek before he placed a kiss on your forehead.
“Well, in case you need me.” Ally pointed to the door “I'll be outside.” she said as she walked to the door.
“I thought...” Dex pinched the bridge of his nose as he took a deep breath “I thought I was too late..”
You shook your head as you grabbed hold of his hand and brushed your thumb over it “None of this was your fault, Dex. On the contrary you and Ally... you saved me. I thought I wasn't going to survive this time. That Shaw would have dragged me to the other side of the world, that the nightmare would start all over again..”
"I'd never let that happen. I would never let him get away. Even if it took me all my life." he was serious as he said it "Besides, you're the only one who has the recipe to those waffles."
You breathed and laughed lightly at his comment "Yeah. I'm still taking that to my grave, Dex."
He nodded "I know. But not anytime soon.”
You knew you still had to tell him what Shaw had told you “Dex.. he told me something while I was with him in the house.”
Dex raised a brow as he waited for you to speak.
“He told me Wilson Fisk wanted me dead, that me being alive and around you was a torn in Fisk's plan. I've only heard Shaw mention Fisk once before.. he did some dirty work for him. Why is Fisk doing this ?”
Dex avoided your eyes, suddenly becoming nervous “He..uh.. he tried to make me believe things.”
“What kind of things ?” you pressed the question.
Dex shook his head as he took hold of your hand with his own “He wanted me to believe that society would never accept someone like me.”
You let out a breath, he looked so tired “He's wrong, Dex. I know you, I know that there is so much more to you then what you believe. You told me I was special to you.” he looked at you now “But you are special to me too.” you smiled at him.
He let out a soft chuckle, his features softening “You don't have to be afraid anymore. He'll never hurt you or threaten you again.”
You were confused now, had the FBI found out about Fisk's plans already ? Had they moved him back to prison ? “Did Ally tell you this already ? Does this mean Fisk is back in prison ?”
He avoided your gaze again and this time you took note of it “He was found dead this morning. You're safe now.”
The way he said it, cold, emotionless.. you knew.
“Dead ?” you repeated his words.
He gave a nod “They found him in the penthouse. They have no leads, but a guy like that had many enemies.”
You just nodded.
You knew.
“When did it happen ?” you asked.
“Couple of hours ago.” he answered and looked at you.
He knew that you knew.
You squeezed his hand “Guess the city, or even the world is now safer without him or Shaw in it.”
Dex smiled for a second before he cleared his throat “The FBI still wants to take your statement about Shaw. Ally's too.”
“I'll make sure to help her remember the important things.” you told him, hinting at the fact that you sure ass hell weren't going to sell him out.
“She's a smart kid.” He said with a smirk.
“Was that a compliment ? I should tell her that.” you joked and he almost rolled his eyes.
He chuckles “Smart apart from the fact that she stole from Ray.”
“Well, technically that does make her smart. She was able to borrow things out of his pocket unnoticed.” your voice was sarcastic.
He smirked at you “Since when do you support thieves ?” a playfull glint in his eyes.
“Since they save my life.” you shrugged your shoulders and giggled. “Sometimes we have to do something bad, sometimes it's the only option to stay safe. As long as we don't start to see it as the only way, there is still hope.” your words were heavy, Dex must have understood way you had said it as he nodded in agreement. “I won't give up on you. I see the good in you.”
His eyes were soft and for a moment he looked so peacefull. He leaned closer to you and his lips brushed against yours.
“I love you.” it was as if the words had escaped him, as if they were hanging on his lips ready to be spoken. There was still uncertainty in his eyes when he looked at you.
You could only smile brightly “I love you too.”
