Resolved
"Here. It's a frozen Dr. Pepper." David holds out the drink. Robin wipes her eyes dry and gratefully accepts it.
"Do you know what Ace is doing?" Robin asks, sipping the drink.
"Having a 'talk' with that girl." David replies, adding air quotations. "She's taken a number of people out for a 'talk'. They now know not to cause trouble." Robin gulps.
"Never would've expected that from Ace." David laughs. "What?"
"I doubt you've seen Ace when someone rubs her the wrong way." He comments. Robin almost asks how when Ace enters, furiously wiping at her nose. Robin's eyes widen when she realizes Ace's nose was bleeding.
"Ace, you okay?" Robin asks. The girl nods.
"She tried to clock me in the jaw, but missed, punching my nose. I returned the favor." Ace says, holding up her free hand. Blood streaked Ace's knuckles.
"Come into the back. We'll get you cleaned up." David says, standing up. As David starts cleaning Ace, she looks at Robin.
"Spill it." Robin explains everything. Ace doesn't realize how hard she clutched the sink edge until it breaks off. Robin watches in surprise as Ace holds up the fracture, gazing at it curiously.
"Whoops."
"It's fine." David says.
"Is that all?" Ace asks Robin. The girl nods. "Well, Riley won't be a problem anymore."
"Did you kill her?" Robin asks fearfully.
"What? No, of course not! I just let her know that if she messes with my friends, I'll take her out again." Ace replies. Robin smiles.
"Thank you."
"Now, you, missy, have something to fix with someone." Ace says. Robin nods and pulls out her phone.
Robin: Can we talk?
Almost instantly, she gets a reply.
Shawn: Danny's in 15.
Robin shows Ace, who smiles.
"Go get him, tiger."
~~ ~~ ~~
Robin stands outside of Danny's, nervously wringing her hands.
'What if he doesn't come?' She thinks nervously. 'What if he doesn't listen?'
"Robin?" She turns toward Shawn. She runs to him.
"Shawn, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you, but I had no choice. She would've hurt you if I hadn't. I'm sorry." She cries into him, letting it all spill out.
"Robin, slow down." He raises her eyes to his. "Tell me what happened." The words flow out of Robin as she describes Riley's visit and Ace's interference.
"I'm really sorry, Shawn. I was scared she would hurt you." Robin looks up at Shawn. "Will you forgive me?" Shawn wipes a tear from her face. Leaning down, he kisses her. He then smiles down at her.
"Of course. I love you."
