Nicole Haught stood outside of the town line looking up at the welcome sign of Purgatory. She was leaning against her car hood thinking about the last time she's been to this place. She knew it's been way over eight years, maybe even longer. That sounds about right though. She thought to herself. Eight damn years. Eight years since an unexplainable event happen to her life and her family, eight years since she made up her mind to pack a small amount of her things and leave town, looking for answers, not even knowing if she'll find any. Eight years since she left the woman she loved. Loves. Her thoughts rang out again, and she smiled just from the thought of her.

"You sure about this?" Doc called out from the open car door, a cigarette hanging out from his mouth, and his hat on shading himself from the hot sun.

Nicole didn't take her eyes off from the sign when she heard him call out to her. "Nope." She finally answered, rubbing her hands together despite the hot weather that covered Purgatory. A nervous habit she give herself every time she thought about ever calling, e-mailing or thinking about visiting just to see her again, to hear her voice or to just speak to her. However, every time she came close to doing so she backed out thinking that it's been way too long, and way too late to try to back track now. "But Dolls sent you out to me, and we both know he means serious business if he's calling for back up." Nicole gave out as she turned to look over at Doc, smiling over at him.

Doc shrugged his shoulders, making it a point to show she was right about that fact. "That may be true Nicole, but I do recall you telling me about a certain tragedy that happen to you in this town."

"Which one?" She asked walking over to the man a slight hot breeze coming through, allowing her hair to flow with it, and taking the cigarette out of his mouth to take a drag for herself. "The one that happen to me and my family or the one that I left behind myself." Hoping to have maybe deal with it when I was ready. She thought to herself.

Doc got out of the car leaning against the open door. "Both." He answered taking back his cigarette when Nicole hand it back. "You realize, the demons we hunt down here aren't only going to be real, but also the ones you left behind for yourself."

The redhead let out a laugh. "Thanks for the reminder."

Doc smiled alongside her, finally happy to see one on her face, not so happy though on how it got there, still it was something, and it was nice. He hated it when Nicole tend to go through one of her emotions, he was never too sure on what was going to come out. Since the time he meet the redhead, he knew she was different, and not much in a sense to where, it was a bad different or a dangers one by that matter. There was just something about her that she held, and Doc knew that they were going to be great friends. It didn't surprise him at all the fact that he was right, it did surprise him however, with his friendship with Xavier, that one he didn't see coming. Still, it never seems to amaze him that when either Nicole, Xavier or himself needs help with one thing or anything, they are always there for each other, so when arriving to Nicole's apartment in the big city, they both knew something important was about to happen. Nicole allowed Doc to come in and he spoke of how Xavier needed their help in a town called Purgatory. That weirder things were happening then what he or his new partners could handle, and it would be nice to have some extra hands to help them out with. Though Nicole told them of what happen to her, her family and who she left behind, she never did say of where she took off from. That part she explain to Doc once they were on the road.

"You aren't alone on this Haught." Doc said, seriousness wrapped around his voice. "And you know damn well that Dolls and I won't let you walk this alone."

Nicole looked up at him, smile on her face. "That I know, I do think however think that I should handle somethings on my own." She turned round to allow herself to walk to the other side of the car to get into the driver seat.

"Well, I am glad we can both agree on that." He said more to himself as he put the cigarette out and went back into the passenger seat. He looked over at one of his best friends as she started the car up. "Do you have any idea of what you are going to say to her?"

"You know, I will be really honest, even after eight years, I have never thought I would be in this position, so no. I have no idea what I'm going to say to her when I see her." She put the car in drive taking off heading into the small town that she once called home.

"Well, at least you have another forty-five minutes to figure that part out." Doc said, smiling over at her.

-\/\/-\/\/-\/\/-\/\/-\/\/-

Forty-five minutes were not enough, not for Nicole to think about what she was going to say when presented in front of her. However, she did think about the shouting, or the shocked look, or even objects being thrown at her when they see each other. As much as she tried to keep a positive thought, it was hard to do so the closer they got to town. She did also think about what the older Earp sister will do once Wynonna sees her as well, and that went a lot different in her head then what Waverly might do to her. Especially now that she understands what the Earp family is made of.

She parked in front of the building, and turned off her GPS on her phone, and look at her surrounding of the town. She took everything in, and notice how it still looked the same, yet it was different. She could tell where some old building stood, while new ones were made as well, making the town look smaller then what it already was. Eight years and still everything looks the same. Nicole thought. It's not the same though. She told herself after learning what her town is really made of.

Nicole and Doc both exit the car leaving it where it was, and waited for Xavier to come outside to meet them. "You ready for this?" Doc called out once again.

"I don't think I have a choice anymore." Nicole answered back, wiping her hands on her jeans to dry off the sweat that was forming from her nervous once again. "Besides, this is long overdue, and I think it's about time to fix what I broke."

"Way to be positive."

"Doc, Nicole." Xavier called out, happiness covering his voice. "Damn, I am sure happy to see you." He smiled, opening up his arms to allow him to give a hug to Nicole first, then over to Doc.

"Wish it was under better circumstances" Doc let out once the reunion was done. "Though, still happy to see us all working together once again like back in the day." That caused all three of them to share knowing smiles of how well they worked together, and just as excited they are to be back at it again.

"Right." He looked over at Nicole, and handed her a folder. "I'm sure Doc filled you in on some stuff, follow me, and I will tell you the rest and who we will be working with." Xavier let out, his serious voice coming in strong.

"Wait, Xavier-"

"Haught, you know the drill, no first name bases during this time" He said cutting Nicole off, turning just slightly to make sure they were both following him.

"Well, yes, but I do think you should hear what she has to say about this one particular thing that happen to her."

As much as Xavier wanted to smile, knowing fully well just how serious his partners take their jobs at times, he held it back, and waited for a different time. "Holliday, story-telling can wait for a different time, when things are in a lighter mood."

They were just outside the door where the Earp sisters were in, but before Dolls could even reach for the door handle, Haught grabbed him by the shoulder. "This is a serious matter Dolls." She said in a more serious tone now. Dolls raised an eyebrow at her, and waited for her to continue. Haught took a deep breath in. "Remember when I told you, I ran away because of what happen to my family. I wanted answers, and I couldn't find any unless I went out looking for them." He nodded his head. "I'm from this town, and I always knew there was something different about it, but I never knew what it was, and I knew if I stayed then I would never find the answers I was trying to look for."

"Perfect, then this should make it easier for you to hunt what we are looking for." Dolls let out, going for the door handle once again.

"No, wait-"

Nicole however wouldn't be able to explain her story, and turn quite quickly once Dolls spoke. "Wynonna, Waverly, I would like you to meet my two partners, this is Doc Holliday and-"

"Nicole." Waverly cut in the moment Nicole walked into the office.

"Uh, hi." She let out, shy and quite once again, waving a little at both sisters.

The next few moments felt slow and very much like something out of either a movie or TV show. No one was really fast enough to stop Wynonna from jumping over the table, grabbing Nicole by the collar, slamming her back against the table, Nicole was sure she was either going to be bruised or sore by the end of all of this, and pulling out Peacemaker and pointing it straight at the redhead, right between her eyes.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa." Nicole let out, hands in the air, giving a sign of surrender to the gun holder.

"Give me one good reason as to why I shouldn't shoot you now." The older Earp let out, a pissed off expression setting on her face.

"Wynonna, put the gun down. We need her." Dolls gave out.

"Not a good enough reason for me." Wynonna said, cocking the gun, ready to use.

"Look, I understand you are pissed, trust me, I'm pissed off at myself too for what I did and how I did things, but if you give me a chance, I would like to explain it to you." Nicole let out, a bit scared hoping that would allow Wynonna to drop the gun, but she didn't. She kept the gun right where she placed it. There was a sense to her that allowed Nicole to pick up that Wynonna didn't trust her, not one bit. She didn't blame her for that, Nicole wouldn't trust herself either after everything that happen to her. "Or if you like, I can explain it to you now."

"Yeah, that sounds a lot better." Wynonna finally spoke.

"Put the gun down." Waverly finally let out, finding her voice in all that happen in the past few moments that past. "She doesn't need to explain anything."

"Like hell she doesn't." Wynonna let out. "Maybe you don't want to hear why she left town, but I sure as hell want to know why she left, without saying a word to you and breaking your heart." There was anger in her voice. Hatred almost it seems like if Nicole bothered to listen a bit closer to Wynonna's voice, but she wasn't listening to what her voice held, even if Nicole was looking at her. What she was hearing out for was Waverly's pulse, her heart beating what seems to be a mile per minute. To Waverly's voice, that she missed so much over the last eight years. Nicole could feel the regret sliding into her, the feeling of her leaving and how she should have come back at some point, should have called at some point, or wrote to her even. That was too late though, all the chances she had, she missed, and now they are here, dealing with it as such.

Waverly got up from her seat, gather her things as best as she could into her arms. "Do you ever think that maybe I don't want to hear what she has to say?" Nicole heard it. The anger, the hurt, the sadness that cover the other woman's voice, and it hurt Nicole. She wanted to look at the smaller woman, wanted to see if she would stop and give her a chance to explain what happen to her, and why she left in the first place.

It was too late though, by the time Nicole turned her head to look over at Waverly all she saw was the end of her hair that was tied up in a braid, and she watched her leave seeing nothing but her back as she exit the office in a hurry. "You are very lucky right now that I have to go make sure my sister is alright, but I will take care of you very soon, don't you forget that." Wynonna finally put her gun away, slipping it back by her side, and walking out the office as well calling after her younger sister to slow down.

Dolls stood there eyes wide and in shock once the Earp sisters left the office, before saying anything. He turned slightly over his shoulder, to look at the redhead. "What to explain what the hell that was all about?"

"In all fairness, we did try to warn you." Doc let out, one eyebrow raised, shock expression clear on his face as well. He was expecting a lot of things to have happen, he did not however expect to see a gun pointed as his friend, or see his friend being pulled around the room as such, and he didn't expect such a tense situation to occur so soon on this job. If this is how the first day is, I really can't wait to see what the rest of our time here brings us.

Nicole let out a sigh, rubbing the bottom of her back, already feeling the slight bruise to soreness feel, then nothing. "Xavier, I told you there was more to my story, but you wouldn't listen."

"Yeah, well I didn't realize your story was part of you knowing the Earp sisters, and apparently dating one as well." He let out laughing a little of not only what has just happen, but the fact that something like this had to fall right into their laps with everything else that was going on in this Hell of a place. "Which I still want the story on tonight." He said as he walked over to the chair that held his jacket. "All three of us are going to Shorty's."

"I don't know if that's the best idea." Nicole let out. "I remember going there a lot with Waverly, and I'm more than sure that she still works there."

"Don't worry about that. I'm about to go talk to Wynonna, and I will text you the details of what will happen." After putting on his jacket, he walked over to the door to open it, but paused for a brief moment. "Oh, and Nicole." The redhead looked over at her best friend, worried covering her face. "Please, do fix whatever problem happened here. We are going to spend a lot of time with each other. Keep that in mind." He said before leaving to chase after Wynonna.

"So much for him having my back on all of this." Nicole let out, looking over at Doc.

"Well, you still do have me." He smiled.

Nicole let out a sigh, rolling her eyes at him as she left the office.

-\/\/-\/\/-\/\/-\/\/-\/\/-

Wynonna finally caught up with Waverly. She never realized how fast the smaller sister can move until you actually pissed her off. "Hey, Waves, come on, wait up." Finally Waverly slowed her pace, allowing herself to walk more so then to speed walk. "Hey, how are you feeling?"

Waverly rolled her eyes at her sister. "How did you think I'm feeling?" She spat out.

"Okay, stupid question." Wynonna said to herself.

"I don't even know why she's here." Waverly let out. "It's not like we need her. In fact she's the last person we need. We can handle this without her. In fact, we have been doing really well without her. Hell, we have been doing fine for more than eight years without her." Waverly let out as her pace picked up again, allowing her anger to come out in her rant, and Wynonna felt more that the "we" Waverly was using was more of an "I".

"Hey." Wynonna called out once again, jumping in front of Waverly, trying to make her slow down to a stop. "You're pissed, I get that, and as am I if you couldn't tell back there." She said pointing back to the police station. "Maybe we can talk to Dolls about getting someone else down here to help." Waverly came to a slow stop. "Maybe we can try to convince Dolls that we can actually do this on our own."

"Maybe." Waverly let out. "But even if we did ask, what if Nic-" She paused at the name. "What if Nic- damn it, what if she doesn't leave." Waverly let out frustrated once again, because of the redhead. She didn't realize how long it's been since she last actually said her name, even though she said it not too long ago though. It took her off guard when she saw her again, the name slipping out like it was nothing, but now, now she was pissed and hurt and betrayed and everything she was feeling when Nicole got up and left eight yeas ago.

"And if she does stay, fine, let her, but at least she won't be working with us." Wynonna pointed out. "I know it's not the best, but at least it would be something."

"I was hoping to fine you out here." Dolls let out. "Sorry about what happen back there, I didn't realize you and Agent Haught had, um, well history." He said flicking his eyes over to Waverly.

"Speaking of Agent Haught." Wynonna let out crossing her arms over her chest. "Is it really necessary for her to be here?" She asked. "I mean as far as I'm concerned, we should try to keep the circle as small as possible." Waverly turned around wondering what he will say to that idea.

"I understand the situation isn't the most pleasant one to be in," Dolls started. "But she is a necessary to the team itself, though it isn't my place to say why." He finished. "Maybe you should talk to her and ask her as to why she left this town in the first place." He said, looking straight at Waverly when he did.

"Like fuckin' hell I will." Waverly let out, anger still in her voice. "The last thing I want right now is to talk to her, or at least I don't want to talk to her right now."

"How about never." Wynonna comment.

Waverly didn't have the chance to respond to her sister, her phone going over in her pocket. She pulled the device out to see who it was. "We will talk about this later." She pointed out, as she answered the phone, and walked away from the pair, Wynonna hearing a soft "Hey Champ, what's up?"

Wynonna rolled her eyes at the name, and looked over at the man in front of her. "Are you really going to take your best friend's side over your girlfriend's right now?" Wynonna asked.

Xavier's face soften, rubbing his hands over his eyes. "I'm trying to be on neither side." He answered.

"You realize that's the wrong answer right."

Xavier scratched the back of his head, and put his other hand on his hip thinking things through. "Listen, Wynonna, I understand you want answers, and even though Waves won't admit, she wants answers too." He put his arm down, place it on his hip as well, the same as the other. "The only person who can give you answers however is Nicole."

Wynonna let out a soft hum, as she walked up closer to Xavier, pulling a little on his jacket. "That may be a good enough answer for yourself, but not for me." She said, slapping him playfully on the cheek. "Hope you have a goodnight sleeping on the couch." She finished, walking away from her boyfriend. "You can thank Agent Haught for that."

Xavier let out a shallow sigh throwing his head back. "Damn it to hell." He let out turning around to walk back to the police station.

-\/\/-\/\/-\/\/-\/\/-\/\/-

She was hoping this walk would clear her head. That's all she wanted as this point. To be left alone for a few moments to think about what had just happen, but her only thoughts at this point wondered over to Waverly. Nicole wasn't all too sure anymore what to do. Okay, that's a lie. She knew what she had to do, but actually doing it scared her more than anything. Trying to talk to the smaller girl wasn't going to be an easy task, and Xavier had a point. She needed to fix this, and soon even if that means forcing herself to push past her uncomfortableness.

She took in a deep breath ready to take that head on the next time she sees Waverly whenever that may be, and though there may be a good chance of a death look shooting straight at her, she knew it was worth it if that means her and Waverly could try to work through this. Even if that means being friends at least. Not really something I want, but I definitely don't have the right to really choose at this point. She let out a sigh, and took a seat on the bench. This walk was supposed to help her try to think things through, not rethink the whole situation and back out last minute.

She shook her head, trying once again to clear her thoughts, hoping to start from a clear slate of thought. However, there was a smell that hit her, a smell that she found all too familiar, one she would never mistake for anything else. Nicole, turned around on the bench she was sitting on to find Waverly standing near the playground, phone in hand texting as fast as she could with one hand.

This is it. Nicole thought. She once again took a deep breath and stood. Everything in her mind and body told her to wait, maybe right now isn't the right time. She ignored all of that however, Nicole waited too long for this moment, and she just finished promising herself that the next time she sees Waverly, she will talk to her. Right now is that time, she felt like she wouldn't get another. Not one where it will be just the two of them.

"Hey." Nicole let out, causing Waverly to jump a little bit, dropping some paperwork out of her hands. "Shit." The redhead let out, bending down to quickly up them up before any of them got too far. "I probably could have announced my arrival better."

"That would be a change, cause that means you actually talking to me." Waverly shot back, and Nicole felt the burn start inside of her. Everything inside her telling her to apologize, retreat and try again some other time.

"Right, I deserve that." Nicole let out, running a hand through her hair. "Wav-"

"Nicole." Waverly let out, looking up at her, finally making eye contact with the other woman. "I understand you would like to talk, but right now is not the best time."

Nicole nodded her head. "Do you know when the right time will be?" Waverly shrugged her shoulders. "Right." She cleared her throat.

"Mommy!" A little kid yelled, running up straight to Waverly hugging her around her legs. He looked like he was around six or seven. What? Nicole thought to herself as she looked at the kid that past her. His short hair a light brown, and his skin the same color as Waverly.

"Hey, kiddo." Waverly smiled down at the little boy, kneeling down to his eye level. "How was your weekend with your dad?"

"Eh, it was okay." He replied. "Normal stuff. Video games and movies."

Waverly nodded her head. "Sounds like your dad."

"Hey Waves, sorry about the hold up. My parents wouldn't let the little buddy go." Champ let out, walking up with a small bag in his hand, most likely belonging to the little boy.

Nicole watched from the sidelines, shock covering her face from what she was seeing. Champ and Waverly, and… and… their child, standing right in from of her. She knew eight years changed a lot, but this was the last thing she expected to see.

"Haught, is that you?" Champ let out, smile on his face. "No fuckin' way."

"Champ." Waverly hit him on the shoulder, stern look on her face. The little boy laughing at him.

"Sorry." He let out rubbing his shoulder, then turn back to Nicole. "Well dang Haught, eight years have been well on you." He said crossing his arms, looking her up and down.

Nicole rolled his eyes at him. "Here, I believe these belong to you." She said, passing the papers back to Waverly. She quickly grab them, stuffing them back with the rest of them in her arms. "I see I'm not the only one who changed these past eight years either." Nicole said to Waverly before walking off.

Nicole knew she had no right to be pissed off. After all she was the one that left, she was the one who didn't tell Waverly that she was leaving, she was the one who packed up and find what she was looking, to find out what she was. Though if she would have known what Waverly was dealing with, if she would have known what the Earp family was really like, that would have changed so much for the both of them.

"Mommy, who was that?" Nicole heard the little boy asked, and it hurt even more with the answer Waverly gave, saying that is was "No one." The hurt look ran across her face. Going back to her walk, hoping and praying to whatever God, if there is one out there, that they would help get that scene out of her mind.
