Summary: Set between the S1 finale and S2E1. Bass sees Charlie running for her life from the Militia. Will he help her? Read to find out what happens.
It was a beautiful day. Sebastian Monroe, the former general of the Militia, was in the woods, when he heard a helicopter and gun shots.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4ZfGqZHMH
When he looked up and didn't see anything, he went to investigate.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIYyZEi5RD
When he stopped at the tree line, he saw Charlie running for her life from the Militia that were in a helicopter. She was hurt, too. He knew he couldn't stand by and watch them take her down. She was Miles' niece. He told himself he was doing this for Miles, but he knew the truth.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMDOgWatbT
He ran from the shelter of the trees to run at her side, as he looked over his shoulder and shot at the Militia in the helicopter.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZhgITuMfO
As she ran, vision starting to grow dim, she saw Monroe at her side.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8q8ZaOe81
"Monroe?" she questioned, before weakness overcame her.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLIbhgyDh4
Bass took her arm to try and keep her from collapsing, the other hand still holding the gun.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiO2QXscla
When the helicopter left, he put his gun away and knelt at her side, looking down at her.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeSVQXKV0s
"Charlie," he said.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKA7WQLTyM
He gently put his right hand to the left side of her head where blood was at from a wound. And as he did, he scanned the rest of her with his eyes. She had been shot in the right shoulder and both legs as far as he could see.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZJirnQYx3
"Hang in there," he said.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLHFwy6XQe
He took his hand away from her head and gently pulled her into his arms, before getting to his feet and carrying her with him back into the woods. He knew what to do. He had to find a river or stream, in order to help her.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdovmGaPsj
Charlie thought it was wrong for it to not be Miles that had found her, and strange that Monroe was helping her. She'd be fighting against him if she could right now. She wanted to know why Monroe had saved her life and what his plan was. She also wanted to know why he had shot at his own men. Surely they wouldn't have done anything to Monroe. He was their general.
After a while, he finally found a stream.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp0AR2XizH
He layed her gently down by it and took his jacket off. He then ripped a piece from his shirt, before wetting it in the stream. He rung it, before pressing it gently to the side of her head on her wound, dabbing it gently.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbFCn8pTmB
Charlie winced in pain and closed her eyes, when he put the piece of his white shirt to her wound. She didn't know Monroe could be so gentle and caring. Not very long ago, he had imprisoned Rachel, her mother, Danny, her brother, and herself. He had pulled a gun on all of them and had told Rachel to choose which of her children would die. Charlie, being the brave one and looking out for her younger brother, had spoken up and had told him to shoot her. Now he was taking care of her.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8juAdGXfw
She groaned in pain, as he continued to dab at her bleeding head wound.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjaETxRcjU
"It hurts," he stated to her.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEdadcsJOt
He knew he couldn't tell her that he knew what it felt like, because that would be lying to her. He had never been wounded or hurt in the head. He had been shot in the gut before, though.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6HwWRDI9K
"Why?" she asked softly.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAzcbar5kR
"What?" he asked, unsure of what she was asking him, as he started doing to her shoulder, as he had done to her head wound.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxWveQyIps
"Why are you doing this?" she clarified for him.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKUAMDzulh
"Because it's the right thing for me to do," he answered her.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo1DgddvyU
He finished with her shoulder and then moved onto her left and right leg.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vgiLx8GJY
"Since when do you care about doing the right thing?" she asked him, as she slowly sat up.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKSnkR9VQq
"I always have, Charlie."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMu7NClUCO
"So, what? Bombing Rebel camps and killing people is the right thing now?" she exploded at him.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEH6l4Zdjo
"No, Charlie; It's not. What I did to the camps and those people wasn't right. I was just trying to keep everyone in line. After Miles left, it was hard. Everything was on my shoulders." He stopped and got to his feet, as he said, "Let's just go."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCaZ9eqeLo
She got to her feet, as he started slowly walking off. She then caught up with him and grabbed his arm, making him stop.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNqFiYQww6
"What's going on? What do you mean was?"556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEQUh0lezJ
He looked at her.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh21gK2CfIq
"Miles didn't tell you?"556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30j4DNYjJR
"Tell me what?"556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRs1Yu0CYb
"I'm not the general anymore. I'm out on the run. My own men are shooting at me. I'm just Bass Monroe now. I have nothing left."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFH3EwQ4GR
"So, if you're not the general of the Militia, who is?"556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rc5xqhF0y
"Tom Neville. If they get even one chance to kill me, I'm dead. But what does it matter to you? Nobody cares about me, anymore. Miles said it himself. He and I aren't brothers, anymore. I'm nothing to him. Apparently, this is what I get for saving his life twice and trying to do the right thing."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ePf1dKNJX
As Charlie Matheson stood beside him and looked at him. She felt sorry for him. He was almost like Miles. He was an emotionally hurt guy.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyikgXoeGzE
He started walking again and she followed suit at his side.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ081o0FW4A4
"Miles didn't tell me anything about you. What little I know was from Nora."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOpaDX7Laz
She blinked to keep her composure.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYEMoPcGUn
He looked at her.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrwwFsp62U
"What's wrong?"556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSNmspygSZ
"Before the lights came back on, Nora died."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu2YpA6cuu
He was silent.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R23hUba8U
He had known Nora almost as long as Miles. He had been fond of her. Now he was just hearing that Nora was dead.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti3KlZfXCQ
"I'm sorry," he finally said.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWLeUoVUJR
"It's not your fault. We were so close to the infirmary, too. I should probably thank you, though."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF7yQabBRV
"For what?"556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn82P6UiSG
"For saving me twice. You saved me at the tower. Then you saved me today from the Militia. Thank you, Sebastian."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQryOOrGI61
"You're welcome. You can call me Bass, though. Everyone does."
When the sun went down, they made camp in the woods. They gathered up some twigs and branches and Bass used his lighter to light them up. They then decided who should keep watch. And since Charlie had gotten pretty hurt that day, Bass decided to keep watch.
Charlie woke up the next morning to see herself alone.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDySqHoI6Z
"Bass?" she called.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnordRSwYV6
In the distance, she heard fighting and knew he had to be fighting the Militia. So she grabbed her sword and made a run for it towards the sounds of fighting.
When she arrived, she was right. He was fighting, but he wasn't as good as her Uncle Miles. Some Militia were dead on the ground, but there were still five he was fighting sword to sword with. She knew she had to help him, or he would be even worse off. She had lost so many along the way. She couldn't lose Bass. He was connected with Miles. He had even shown her kindness she hadn't known he possessed.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqKdkvcaha
Sebastian Monroe was trying his best to win, but it was one against five. And he was already hurt. He wasn't used to fighting alone or with a sword. He hadn't wanted to wake Charlie up, though. She needed the sleep.
With determination, he dropped his sword and pulled out his hand gun, seeing Charlie running towards the scene. He had to live for her. He had promised himself last night that he would get her back to Miles and Rachel. So, he pulled his gun out and began to shoot the three in front of him, while Charlie fought sword to sword with the other two. It was obvious to him that Miles had trained her a while back.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7OHznYneQ
Charlie took one down and ran to take down the last one, just as the last guy headed for him.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqEj0uTy3e
"Behind you!" she yelled as the last guy pulled out a gun.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RuzNlbayn
Bass turned around, just as the guy shot at Charlie. He saw Charlie duck and knew she was fine. He then pulled his gun on the guy.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z9crm28J0
"This is between you and me. Leave her alone," he warned.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCQMAsr5Yd
"The famous Sebastian Monroe actually protecting Rachel's daughter. How quickly you turn."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSQBEk0mXy
Charlie watched a few minutes later, as the two men fought over the guy's gun. And as she did, she started towards them, a gun in her hand that Miles had given her a while back.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2kJeQ8mmU
Bass felt even more pain than before, as the gun went off. Then another shot was heard and the guy was dead not far from him.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrQ1mKdsbU
Charlie ran towards and knelt at his side, gun back in her jacket.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlqyl2XU96
"Bass."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J31qTG7Es
She looked down at him to assess his wounds. She didn't know everything, but she knew some things. He mostly had slice wounds from swords, so it wasn't bad there. What she knew she had to take care of as quickly as she could was his side wound. So, she tore a piece from her shirt and used it to apply pressure.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP6CktqxJR
"Charlie," he said, as he looked up at her. "You want to know me? I'll tell you a few things. When Miles and I were younger, we fought in the war side by side. That's the first time I saved his life. When Rachel and Ben started dating, Miles and I had a crush on her. But then I moved on to Emma. Before Emma was killed, she told me that night that I have a son somewhere. Miles and I were close. We forgave one another no matter how much the other screwed up. I saved Miles when we were both the general. We got bombed in a diner and Miles got hurt. Everything I've done, Charlie, was always for Miles."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVkdfrh8Z4
"You don't have to say anything else, Bass."
A few days later, he was himself again, wound taken care of, so they headed farther towards the Rebel camp.
Miles was making his rounds not far from the camp, when he saw Charlie. It relieved him that she was okay, but who he saw with her was unexpected.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkFZxG2Sru
He started towards them.
Once they were in front of one another, he had to ask her, "What happened to you?"556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkBPS7qJTh
"He helped me out with some Militia," she answered her uncle.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuJGznDXme
He looked at his best friend.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96Cv8lJDA6
"Thanks, Bass."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6bAApXl3F
"He's on our side now," she informed him.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ23dtruPJz
"Good," he said.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI23yKoi0mA
"She saved me, too," Bass added.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoth7p0bv7Y
"I guess we're good, then," Miles said.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf3iRj2pQ2
The three of them then walked towards the Rebel camp.
