It didn’t matter to Valerie that his leg was gone. The female detective was just happy to see him survive. If this was surviving. He seemed to not remember her or at least the last few months when they’d began seeing one another. The pain of him not remembering made her feel useless and stupid. It looked to her as if she lost seventeen months waiting for him to come back and here he was not caring.

Biting back her anger at the situation, not John, but those responsible for the ambush, Valerie finally looked back at him. Forcing down how she felt, she faked a smile for him as she laid a hand on his shoulder. “It’s alright, things will come back to you in time. As for getting out of here, I heard if you stay with someone for a few days they may let you go early. I can let you stay with me.” She bit her lip, but kept her eyes on him.

Val laughed softly as she pulled away. “Sorry captain Maldonado.” Smiling sweetly, she nodded at Maldonado. “Of course we will... At least I will...”

Tears sprang to her eyes at hearing him call her Detective Stahl and disregard her hand. She quickly pulled her hand away and tucked them both into her pockets. Swallowing hard around the lump in her throat, she looked at her feet a moment.

“It’s alright, Detective Kennex. I’ve been...” she'd been a goddamned wreck is what she had been. Utterly out of her mind with grief. She’d thrown herself into too much work to keep from being at his side the entire time. After a pause, she finally replied. “I’ve been okay. We’ve been worried about you.”

Slowly she looked up at him. The man in the bed was John Kennex, but not her Johnny. Not the sweet loving man who’d loved her with every once of his being. No, this was a harder, more jaded version. It made Valerie want to cry, but she kept it back.

Valerie had come when she could, but it wasn’t often. No one had known about their relationship, therefore her visits were rare and short. The incident had made things more chaotic around the squad room. Less officers and all that afterward. New MXs were proposed and built during that time and Val had worked tirelessly to assist in their programming.

It was late the evening, just an hour before visiting hours were over when Valerie had finally been able to sneak in to see him. Dark rings were around her eyes and her usually crisp outfit was dinged from a long day of working.

Seeing he was awake, Val hurriedly went to his bedside. “Johnny,” she called softly and reached for his hand.

[xchromexcopx]

Smiling sweetly, Val hugged Sandra quickly. “Thank you. You don’t know how much this means to me.”

Val kissed him back, arms wrapping around his neck for that moment, then cupped his cheeks. Smiling tenderly back up at him, she caressed his cheek as he spoke. “I love you too Johnny. Come back to me safely,” she wished him luck without saying it. 

Lowering her hand, she continued to look at him. A mixture of fear and love in her eyes.

Val was serious at work as well, doing her best not to give anything away, but there were always concerned looks before he left that she couldn’t help.

As always, she worked while keeping an eye out for him. She couldn’t help it. Catching the look, Val was up and making her way down the hall to catch up to him. At first she didn’t speak, just looked at him.

When he leaned in to kiss her, Val cupped John’s cheek with a tender hand. Part of Val knew he wasn’t ready, She knew he was going through with it because it was the best time to strike. Unfortunately, she had no say in the matter. Not only because it wasn’t her operation, but John was stubborn as a mule and wouldn’t listen.

Whining playfully, Val put her arm over her eyes. “But staying in bed with me will be so much better,” she was teasing. After a moment of sulking, she got up as well. Sporting his shirt from the day before, Val sprinted to the bathroom to get in before he could.

John opened his eyes, damn, the alarm had faded in even more now and it was blaring in his ears. He rolled over and one slap to the table knocked it into snooze and he groaned as he rolled back over.

It was another day for work, but he was more than ready to go since they’d gotten a big lead on insyndicate and finally it was narrowing down to where they would start acting rather than planning it out.

Anna was gone, having left only a day or two ago for vacation leaving John alone in his apartment.

O… except for one thing.

He rolled over with with a smile, his eyes fell to the woman lying at his side, he wasn’t sure if the alarm or his own actions had woke her up but either way it was time for both of them to get ready to leave.

“Good Morning, Val.” He said softly, a hand came up to push a long brown lock out of her face.

This had been going on for quite some time. It went unspoken. Sure they would see each other at work throughout the day but it wasn’t until lunch dates, possibly supper, and later at nights when Anna was out that they found themselves together even more. Sure John loved Anna, but-… he’d loved Valerie Stahl even more… even longer. He just hadn’t found a way to tell her yet… in fact he didn’t know how to explain his feelings to either one of them.

It had actually been the alarm that had woken her up, but she didn’t actually move from being completely pressed against him until he’d moved. It was always a good morning when she woke up in John’s bed. She knew about Anna, but she couldn’t bring herself to care. At least she had this much and this was more than she’d expected. 

At the hand in her hair, she smiled and gave a soft, contented hum. “Good morning, Johnny,” she cooed sweetly. Only when they were alone did she use that affectionate form of his name and it wasn’t that often. Leaning upward, she gave him a soft kiss. It was clear that she was truly in love with him, but she never said the words. 

“Big day today.” It wasn’t a question, it was a statement. Val knew how important this was. That was why she was overlooking his relationship with Anna. “You sure you’re ready?” That was a loving question, she knew if he wasn’t something would inevitably go wrong. Hesitation was one of the biggest reasons shit went sideways and Val, as an officer herself, knew that as well as he did.

[xchromexcopx]

Letting out a breath she didn’t know she was holding. “Oh thank God. I was worried you’d be upset. I mean I know it’s frowned upon, but I really do care about him.” Val bit her lip a moment, then continued, “We have been so far. There’s been nothing happening at work, I promise.”

|| Background:

The Stahls had two children previous to Valerie that both died of congenital diseases, this prompted them to save up money to make their child perfect. This is why Val is ‘down to Earth’ compared to most other Chromes. She doesn’t see herself as perfect at all. 

Personality wise she’s rather sweet and accepting of everyone. She does have a bit of anxiety that mostly comes out in regards to romance. She fears her partner will either only want her for being a Chrome or find themselves overwhelmed because she’s ‘perfect.’

Health wise, she’s the perfect Chrome. No illnesses or even sniffles her entire life. Nothing congenital, nor could she pass on any ‘bad’ genes.

|| Relationships: Sandra Maldonado To Valerie, the head of Delta region’s Detective & Investigations division is like a mother of sorts. Sandra has always watched over Val and helped inspire the career Valerie is working hard on.

[xchromexcopx]

|| Relationships: John Kennex:

The only canon ship I can ever see. 

Valerie has always had a touch of hero worship when it comes to the detective. His career is something that she admires and aspires to do. She knows John has made mistakes, but she values his willingness to work on his mistakes for the betterment of himself and the community.

As for personal, she is completely infatuated with him. Refusing an offer to dinner not withstanding. She already had plans that night, otherwise she would have been jumping at the chance to go with John.

(And though I ship them, doesn’t mean a partner has to. We can go with the tension thing or just worshiping him as Val does.)

|| So, not much is really known about this cute little cupcake (at least from my research and watching it myself) so I’m going be dropping my personal headcanons from time to time. I really want to keep Val alive, so please interact with her. Talk to her. I don’t care what, let’s keep Almost Human alive!
