A/N: The next request I have done is for Articwolf158! I hope you like it :]

...

On a distant planet, lucky enough to be located outside Frieza's reign of terror, a dimly lit bar was one of the only sources of warmth and entertainment amidst this world's dreary atmosphere. In was in said bar that Bardock, the legendary Saiyan warrior sat. Drinking his beverage and keeping to himself as the rain continued to pelt the window's nearby.

The spiky haired man raised his glass as he took another sip, feeling the harsh liquid burn it's way down his throat as abrasive memories floated through his mind.

I can't believe Planet Vegeta is gone....... And why? Why was I of all people spared? He wondered, taking another gulp of the alcohol before setting the glass back down.

I hope there were others that were able to escape....... Gine.......

The sound of a door slamming open startled nearly everyone, alerting Bardock to this newcomer's presence as well as he rolled his eyes. He had been spending a good amount of time in this particular place lately, making him all too aware by now of your love for dramatic entrances...

"Hey boys!" Your cheerful voice called out, making the man behind the counter grin your way as you waved to a few of the other regulars before you walked over and took a seat on one of the bar stools.

"Evening Miss [Y/n], what'll it be?"

"Double whiskey on the rocks." You replied without missing a beat. "It's been a long day..."

"You got it."

The older man began making the drink you requested as you pulled down your hood, finally letting your hair free and shaking it loose a bit before sighing. You leaned forward onto the counter, waiting patiently for your fix as you heard someone a few seats down chuckle.

"Someone giving you a hard time?" Bardock questioned, finally getting your attention as he watched your dark eyes connect with his own.

His heart skipped a beat involuntarily while he took in your alluring, and undeniably familiar appearance, unable to look away until your voice snapped the fighter from his trance.

"I figured you'd be here..." You said with a smirk, secretly hoping to run into the man you'd grown quite fond of lately. Though you really knew nothing about him, you had crossed paths enough times to know by now he wasn't your enemy...

The bartender returned with your beverage right on time as you nodded thankfully, slipping him a few pieces of currency before relocating into the seat next to the Saiyan.

"And actually, yes..." 

You raised your glass to your lips, taking a quick sip before putting it back down and exhaling deeply. "There's a high bounty on the head member of this gang..." You explained, swirling the ice cubes in your drink absentmindedly as you spoke. "But every time I get a lead on them, they disappear!"

"Tough break." Bardock teased, smirking your way as you sent him back a playful glare. 

"Yeah, it is-"

A crash from behind made you jump as you noticed three armed men enter the bar, all of them looking around for a moment before their eyes settled on you. 

Uh oh...

"Friends of yours?" Bardock questioned, raising a dark brow as you laughed nervously, checking the gun beneath your jacket as you attempted to stay cool.

"No, not really..."

"Hey you!"

One of the men who'd just come in quickly headed your way, stopping to the side of you before leaning on the bar's counter. He took a good look at your face as the whole establishment seemed to fall silent, everyone else choosing to mind their own business rather than add to the drama...

"So you're the little mouse that's been asking questions, huh?" The stranger commented before laughing at his own joke. "You don't even seem worth our time..." His two lackeys chuckled behind him obediently as you resisted the urge to punch him, playing it cool for the time being as Bardock continued to let you handle things.

"I don't know what you're talking about..." You replied, casually sipping on the drink in your hand as you ignored the gang members surrounding you.

"Rrr....... Look, let me give you some good advice," The man next to you growled, leaning a bit closer as he failed to notice your free hand move underneath your jacket. "Stop sticking your nose where it doesn't belO-"

The thug who was speaking choked on his words as he stared down the barrel of your gun, the tension around you all rising as the clicks of various safety's coming off echoed throughout the bar.

"Tch, tch, tch..." You teased, smirking confidently as you set your drink down before standing up. You kept your finger on the trigger as you held your ground, thinking up a plan of escape while giving the man at the end of your gun a condescending look.

"Don't you know better than to threaten a lady? How rude..."

"Y-You! You'll pay for this!"

The other two gang members held their weapons at the ready while the bar patrons scattered, hiding under tables and behind walls as everyone waited for the shoot out that would inevitably take place.

The only person who didn't seem concerned about all the potential violence was Bardock, who was still sitting down, earning himself some strange glances due to remaining so calm in such a chaotic situation. The Saiyan watched you hold your own against this 'gang', actually impressed with your fiery, take-no-shit personality. It was a very attractive quality for a woman... One Bardock was unable to deny you possessed and he admired.

Without thinking he stood up, giving the other two men who were pointing their guns your way a vicious glare.

"Walk away now and you just might live..." Bardock suggested, already becoming unreasonably angry at the sight of you being threatened.

The guns that were pointed at you instantly shifted towards the Saiyan, surprising you in the process as the gang's leader saw his chance. In a split second the gun you were holding was knocked out of your grasp, making you gasp as you were quickly overpowered. A harsh arm around your neck nearly cut off your access to the air around you as you struggled to pry the offending limb off.

A low growl got everyone's attention as Bardock's eyes narrowed, sending the man who was currently assaulting you murderous look as he took a step forward.

"Don't forget that I gave you a chance."

The two men holding guns laughed as you paused, watching the killer intent behind Bardock's dark iris' intensify like a predator sizing up its prey. Something about that primal stare made you shiver before an obnoxious voice broke the silence.

"Ha! Do you hear this guy? What a-AAGHH!"

Your eyes widened as you watched Bardock rush forward, grabbing the man who'd been speaking by the face before throwing him across the room. A quick backhand silenced his other opponent as the Saiyan glared towards the man behind you, instantly walking towards you both while clenching his fist.

You stared at the dark haired man in awe, almost forgetting the position you were in until the arm around your throat tightening reminded you.

"Bardock....... You... That was- ah!"

"Don't come any closer!" The now desperate man warned, reaching down and unholstering his own gun. The thug aimed right for Bardock's head as you pushed against his arm, trying to stop him before someone innocent got caught in the crossfire.

"Don't! He... He doesn't have... Any-anything to do... With this!" You choked, fighting with the man restraining you as the pressure on your airway increased.

"Aack!"

"SHUT UP! You're dead! Don't you understand that?! Once the boss find out about this you two are as good as DEAD!"

You felt your feet leave the ground as your vision began to blur, everything feeling hazy and far away for a moment before a terrifying scream startled you. You took a deep breath instinctively as you fought to put the air back in your lungs, choking and coughing for a minute or two before even realizing that someone was holding you up.

You looked up to see a pair of dark eyes staring back at you harshly, but softening the slightest bit while you noticed the Saiyan's intense look was deeply laced with concern.

"B-Bardock...?"

Your voice seemed to snap him out of his temporary trance, causing the fighter to readjust you in his arms before standing up slowly. He cast a warning look around the room, silently threatening anyone to try anything before heading towards the bar's exit.

The warrior remained silent even after walking through the door, immediately beginning to head down the road in a way you'd never gone before.

"Um, Bardock?" You questioned, looking up at the man carrying you curiously while speaking. "My house is the other way-"

"I know."

You blinked as you could have sworn you saw the ghost of a smirk on his stoic features, making you wonder what was going on as you couldn't help but ask.

"...Then what-"

"You're staying with me from now on." Bardock explained, cutting you off again while subconsciously holding you closer. He glanced down at you while walking, feeling his heart rate increasing yet again as he took in your soft, feminine features.

You repeated Bardock's words in your mind as you grinned, blushing slightly while imagining having a such a strong ally by your side. After what you'd just seen, you realized it would be smart to keep him close... You let out a tiny breath as you relaxed, leaning against Bardock's shoulder as you let him carry you.

Maybe having a partner isn't such a bad idea after all...

...
