Glee | TSIS: The Black in Blackmail | Rachel & Quinn (2 of 7)
Started my daily ficlets to make the hiatus pass, then decided to keep going with a 2nd cycle, and then a 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th cycle. Now cycle 11!
After the 10th installment of the Sunshine Girls series, with the revelation, I figured I'd need something big to kick of the next chapter in this whole storyline. So this translated into... a seven-chapter story! Enjoy! :)
Today: Chapter 2
"THE SHINE IN SUNSHINE: THE BLACK IN BLACKMAIL"
Rachel & Quinn
Sunshine Girls Series #11.2
Quinn was more than familiar with the way Rachel got when she was upset. At this point she was learning to either try and help her ride it out, or just get out of her way. After what had happened with Jacob though, considering it affected her as well, she couldn’t sit idly by.
“Where did he get it?” was the first intelligible thing Rachel said turning to Quinn. She shrank back awkwardly when she saw the look on Quinn’s face. “Right…” she mumbled. Quinn spared her from saying out loud ‘when you brought it here and lost it… twice.’
“It’s been weeks, I don’t get how he hasn’t done anything with it before, I mean… What’s the point?” Quinn shook her head. She looked back to Rachel, who’d grown remarkably quiet, considering where she was at, just moment before. “What?”
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault,” she nodded confidently.
“No, it’s okay, I…” Quinn had started until she saw Rachel shaking her head.
“I… may have provoked him.” Quinn closed her eyes, waiting for the story.
Rachel, like the general female population, had long been fending off Jacob’s advances. It was just something they were aware they’d have to deal with. They had all figured out long ago how to do it, but there were times harder than others, be it whatever he did, or external influence. In Rachel’s case, Jacob had chosen the wrong day for over-confidence, and he had gotten bit out in a most decisive way.
“I may have told him something he interpreted as an invitation for…”
“Blackmail?” Quinn finished. Rachel’s evading look was all the confirmation she needed. “Great…”
“Look, it’s fine… whatever he dishes out, we can take him,” Rachel insisted. Quinn chuckled disbelievingly, and Rachel’s confidence deflated. “We can probably take him…” she amended, and Quinn agreed to this one. “I’m sorry I got you in this mess,” she looked to Quinn. The blonde didn’t reply, seeming lost in thought for a moment. When she snapped out of it, she looked to Rachel, who did her best not to appear as though she had been staring.
“It’s not…” she started, then she shook her head up into a nod. “Let’s just… wait to see what he wants.”
They waited the rest of the day, before they found Jacob waiting, learning against Quinn’s car, arms crossed in front of himself, ‘tough.’
“Move, troll,” Quinn demanded, and he backed off immediately. “So what do you want?” she asked, showing very clearly how she didn’t care, wasn’t scared of him.
“Don’t worry, Fabray, I won’t wear you out in your condition,” he pointed to her midsection. She gave a squinted ‘ha-ha’ bit of a look, batting his arm down. He resettled his sleeves, clearing his throat before going on. “You have two choices: my demands, which I assure you won’t get beyond the three of us, or public humiliation with the student body and the Sunny Gals,” he nodded back.
“Sunshine Girls,” they corrected at once. Jacob tried to pull his startle into a shrug.
“What do you want?” Quinn asked.
“She knows,” Jacob smirked to Rachel, whose face scrunched in disgust. She looked to Quinn, who stared back, unaware. She leaned in to whisper it in her ear, and the previous facial expression transferred to Quinn immediately.
“Seriously?” she looked back to Jacob. He just went on looking smug. “Forget it,” she shrugged before advancing on Jacob, cornering him against the car opposite hers. He shrank, and she towered. “I’m with Finn, he’s best friends with Puck, and Puck loves to mess with dweebs like you. Let’s keep this civilized, shall we?”
“You’ll never find all the copies, you know?” Jacob’s voice wavered.
“Want to bet on that?” Quinn nodded. “Let’s see who calls who’s bluff,” she stared him down. He stood back to his full height, and still, she had the advantage. He looked to them both before heading off. Quinn maintained her stance for a moment more before turning back to Rachel, who stood in awe. She smirked to Quinn.
“Have to admit, that was kind of awesome. “ Quinn smiled back. “Do you still want to…” she asked.
“Definitely,” she nodded. “Come on,” she indicated the car. They got in, heading to the Berry home. The afternoon, coming off their face off with Jacob, was spent rather peacefully, with homework, and an accepted invitation for Quinn to stay for dinner, which greatly pleased Pop and Dad, who spent the meal catching up with the girl who, for a few years, had been like a second daughter to them. The girls had not told them about the pregnancy, knowing this could well lead to Mr & Mrs Fabray finding out. Quinn had left after dessert, after promising Rachel’s fathers she’d come back again sometimes.
The next morning, Rachel arrived at McKinley, and immediately as she walked through the doors it was clear something was going on. She spotted Quinn first, at her locker. She gave her a look, and right away she knew. She saw them soon… It was plastered throughout the school, for all to see and snicker at… The All-Mighty Sunshine Girls’ “secret identities,” revealed.
