((Set almost immediately after Alliances))
Olivia woke with a start as the door to the apartment opened. She scrambled off the couch, reaching for something to use as a weapon when she froze.
It was Charlie.
There was a moment where the siblings stared at each other. Charlie looked awful. There were bags under his eyes, he was bruised and he was filthy.
"What...Where have you been?" Olivia hissed, turning to face him fully.
He swallowed, looking miserable. "I'm so sorry, Ollie. I was just trying to protect you..."
"Well that obviously worked." She said, arms crossed.
He closed his eyes, inhaling deeply. After a moment, he moved forward and gently placed his hands on her shoulders. "I got in some trouble. Before you start lecturing, I know I shouldn't have gotten involved with the mob, but I had to do what's best for us. I'm making good money."
"Yeah, getting good money being a thug!"
His eyes narrowed slightly. "You're one to talk. What's this I hear about you and Harvey Dent?"
She shoved him away. "Don't even start with me about Harvey. You don't know him."
"I know he did this to you." He said, gesturing to her bruised face and neck.
There was a long pause. Finally, Olivia sighed and sat on the couch. "We can fight about all this later. I'm just glad you're alive."
He sat down next to her, pulling his sister to him gently. "Me too."
