“Fancy meeting you here Zoro,” you hum.

Zoro watches you, feeling a spike of annoyance from where he’s handcuffed to the interrogation table and you smirk. Carefully you take a seat where Smoker was sitting earlier and rest your chin in the palm of your hand. For a few moments you don’t say anything, just smirk.

“Things aren’t looking too good for you now are they Zoro?” you ask, giggling.

Zoro huffs, why the hell was he in this situation with you taunting him.

'Stay calm, make small talk," Sabo advices.

“You seem to be doing fine for somebody who got shot and almost hit by a car.”

"I heal fast,” you chuckling, sticking your tongue out, “but honestly I don’t think I should be your chief concern right now. You’re in pretty deep shit here stranger.” No shit.

“Oh really,” Zoro asks, trying to keep cool though his nerves were being pressed in all the wrong spots.

“Well let’s review shall we?” you ask, then begin ticking things off on your finger, “You were found at the scene of a severe building fire, despite you saving many innocents; you left the scene when you were told to stay, then again I suppose you could’ve gotten lost; and then you are found at the scene of a jewelry store robbery. Oh and how could I forget the fact that you are also suspected in the destruction of yet another building two blocks from said jewelry store?”

Zoro’s face falls for a split second, he knows just how much deep shit he’s in, he'll get in trouble upstairs for sure, but Zoro found himself caring less and less.

“I just have a few questions for you Zoro? Will you corporate and answer them for me?”

“Will you shoot me if I don’t?” Zoro grumbles, feeling a bit sarcastic.

You roll your eyes and motion for him to lean forward, he does.

“It’s obvious that nobody else can see those wings of yours,” you begin, “so why am I the only one seeing them?”

Zoro huffs, like hell he'd tell you, you're attitude with him already sucks.

“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.”

You snicker and sit back,

“Do you mean I won’t believe it as in I actual won’t? Or as in you can’t think of a good bullshit story?”

The door to the room opens and Smoker steps in,

“Alright (Name), that’s enough.”

You nod to Smoker and turn back to Zoro,

“I would wish you luck this time, but I don’t really care anymore.”

You stand up and walk over to Smoker but stop at the door and turn back to Zoro one more time,

“Don’t pick any fights in prison now Angel Boy.”

Zoro watches you both go before letting his forehead hit the table, making it fold in on itself. He kicks the table away, breaking the cuffs. He groans, holding his head in his hands. "Fuck I hate this place. And she.... Freaking pisses me off!" He growls.

'Zoro calm down,' Sabo implores. An officer comes in to transfer him and freezes, paling at the scene.

"D-dont move or I'll shoot!" He gasps, aiming his gun at Zoro.

"Just get over here and cuff me Alan," Zoro says illtemperedly. The officer becomes paler and hesitantly does so.

Zoro is tranfered to a crowded holding cell and carefully pushed in. Zoro looks around, feeling suffocated by sin. He looks around calmly, and a large tan and buff man approaches him. Rogue. Zoro relaxes a bit. "Zoro, have you fallen too?" He asks.

"No, just dropped, came to talk to my girl but..." Zoro trails off and sighs. Rogue glances down at his cuffs.

"Anger getting the best of you again?" He guesses. Zoro glances around irritably.

"I haven't slept since I got here," He admits. Rogue touches his cuffs and makes them fall to the floor.

"Then I wish you the best of luck, brother," The large fallen muses, moving away so the other prisoners can have a shot at Zoro.

"What luck?" Zoro scoffs, inevitably taking down most of the inmates with ease.

"Dammit Zoro..." A familiar voice sighs at the door. He looks back to see a glowing Sabo and Ace.

"I have three days," He reminds them.

"We're not here to take you back. Just help you out," Sabo responds, opening the door. The human inmates were looking between Zoro and the door warily.

"Thanks Sabo, see you Rogue," Zoro says strolling out. Rogue gives a wave as the cell doors close again.

"Alright, we'll lead you out of here, but you really need to watch your temper Zoro," Sabo tells him, guiding him out.

"Normally I can stand taunting and people being well... you know... But she gets to me... I don't know if it's the connection or if I'm still pissed about the past..." Zoro trails off looking down.

"You getting pissed all the time isn't gonna help," Sabo points out.

"I just don't know how else to handle it..." He murmurs. Ace and Sabo share a frown.

"I'm sure you'll figure it out," Ace assures, patting Zoro's shoulder as they walk straight out of the building without notice.

"I'm an idiot... Its probably already too late... I failed her too..." Zoro breathes starting to shake.

"You weren't the one who dropped her Zoro, you're the one who came to pick up the pieces," Sabo tries to soothe.

"I tried to... but after a while I just..." He rubs his temple.

"It was a lot of pieces, and you never even seen them before, it's not your fault," Sabo insists.

"And look, you're here now still trying to help after so much time," Ace reminds him. Zoro relaxes.

"Ill probably make it worse but I can't let her continue down this path... Not the one HE put her on.." He breathes. They smile at that then grimace and disappear as blue and red lights flash over them. Zoro stops and turns to the patrol car as Smoker gets out with a frown.

"Look I have something to do, if you keep locking me up I'll just keep breaking out." He tells Smoker bluntly.

"And what do you have to do Roronoa?" Smoker questions.

"That's none of your business. Just put me in her custody if you want to keep an eye on me," Zoro responds. Smoker shifts then sighs.

"I don't know what your deal is with her, but as long as you don't try anything or hurt her I don't see the harm in it..." He breathes.

"More pain is the last thing she needs." Zoro says going over and getting to the passenger side. Smoker gets in, looking at him briefly before heading toward your apartment. They get up to your room, passing Law. Well, Zoro sensed him on the other elevator. Smoker knocks on the door.

“Go away!” you call. “Just open the damn door (Name),” Smoker barks.

Zoro shifts, he could feel your energy before you could open the door, you were now in a foul mood of sorts. You see him and scowl.

“What the hell is he doing here?” you ask.

“Roronoa Zoro is being placed under your protective custody until further notice during the proceedings of our investigations,” Smoker says.

“What?!”

Smoker shoves Zoro into your apartment and comes in behind him and shuts the door.

“Smoker tell me what the fuck is going on right now,” you order and point to Zoro, “Why isn’t his moronic ass in holding?”

“Hey,” Zoro growls, he was getting really agitated with all these insults from you.

You glare at Zoro and his mouth snaps shut, gritting his teeth, he wanted to break something.

“I don’t want to hear shit from you am I clear?”

He nods looking away to glare at a wall, Sabo coaxing him to stay calm.

“We can’t keep him in holding, he’s starting shit with the other scumbags. So we were ordered to place him under house arrest, but he doesn’t have a house,” Smoker says.

“And why the hell did you bring him here?” you ask slowly.

“He refuses to go anywhere else.”

You throw your hands up,

“Then taser his ass and tie him up in your place!”

Smoker shakes his head and places a hand on your shoulder,

. “I don’t want to be doing this (Name), but we really don’t have any other options. I’ll come by tomorrow morning before work to check on you.”

You glare at Zoro, he shifts, what was your damn problem? Your mood swings were freaking annoying him.

“You should bring a body bag.”

Smoker shakes his head again and drops the duffle bag he’d been holding.

“Tell you what,” he says, “You can knock him over the head if he gets to be too much.”

“Aren’t you the cop?” Zoro asks.

“Be happy I’m not giving her permission to shot you dumbass,” Smoker deadpans. Zoro frowns at the insult but he wasn't as affected by Smoker so it just made him sigh.

Smoker leaves and you point to the couch and look at Zoro,

“You’re there, I don’t want to hear shit from you all night.”

You grab the hair pin from the coffee table before heading to your room with Chopper.

“Oi, what if I get hungry?” Zoro asks.

Your hand is resting on your door knob,

“Starve.”

And your door slams shut. Zoro lays back on the couch, staring at the ceiling.

"Yea... I wouldn't want me here either..." He murmurs before falling asleep.
