April 4th, 2015 was a day Frank would remember for the rest of his life.

the day he was accused of leaking a classified video from the CIA and then William Rawlins ordered the hit on his family.

his baby girl, Lisa, and his boy, Frank Jr. slaughtered because of a misunderstanding. and then you, his partner at the time, who carried his children.

you, fortunately, survived the attack along with him. but your love unfortunately perished that day as well.

for the last two years, your life has been nothing but work as a nurse, throwing yourself into saving others because you were unable to save your children. trying to build back the system.

Frank threw himself into work too. in a different way. he began slaughter those who deserved carnage. taking lives just as savagely as his kids’ lives were taken. trying to punish the system.

the two of you hadn’t spoke. no texts, no calls, not even a legal divorce signage. just two people who agreed that they could not function together anymore.

Frank thought that was bullshit. he still wanted you, needed you, with every shard of his corrupt being. he occasionally saw you walking downtown to work and he had to stop himself from pleading with you for a fraction of your time. he tried to move on, he really did. but he was stumped at every corner with the same realization in the way.

he’s still in love with you

a cold New York evening wasn’t exactly rare, but what made this one different was the knocking at your door at 5AM after a ten hour shift.

the apartment door cracked open and Frank stood there, battered and bloodied.

“Frank-“ you began softly but he cut you off

“I need you, {{user}}” he said. “and don’t tell me to go to no hospital, I don’t trust them and all they fancy bullshit procedures. I just need ya to patch this gash on my back, then I’ll go. please”

and somehow he ended up on your couch, shirt off with his back on display with bruises and cuts galore, especially one particular deep one that went from his shoulder blade to his thoracic.

“I know you probably don’t wanna hear shit from me but.. I’ve been thinkin’ and.. I wanna say I’m sorry. that day— I know you blame me” he said gruffly but there was clearly hurt behind it.
