Charlie slams the locker shut and leans her head against it. The hangover has a hold on her body, the coffee Alex gave; is not helping to improve it.

"So, is evil spawn telling the truth?" Cristina asks with a smirk on her face.

"What?" Charlie groans in response.

"The you went home with a hot redhead, last night?"

Charlie gives Cristina the middle finger and thumps her own head on the locker, Cristina starts laughing but is interrupted by Doctor Bailey standing in the door way.

"Get your asses, out of this room. You have rounds to make." The interns all scramble out of the room and spill into the hallway. They follow Bailey to the nurse's station, she stops and rattles off orders.

"Okay, Karev, you're with me, Stevens in the pit, O'Malley; scut- "

"But I was on scut, yesterday." George complains.

"Er...was that a complaint, I just heard?" She makes a face at George who tries to defend himself but shuts his mouth and shakes his head. "Good, just for that, you're on scut duty tomorrow."

"Ha!" Alex laughs out loud and claps a hand on Georges back. "Nice one O'Malley."

"Beck you're with the new baby doctor, Yang with Burke and Grey with Shepard." Charlie's eyes widen as the group of attending's make their way towards the nurse's station. Amongst them was Addison, adorned in blue scrubs and a white coat.

Each of the interns paired off with their doctors which left Charlie behind, staring open mouthed at Addison. "So, you're Dr Beck. The same Dr Beck that crashed into me this morning. I only knew you as Charlie."

"Er...hi. Yeah, that's me." Charlie gives a smile to the redhead. "Look, can we...can we just forget last night ever happened. I get that it might be hard and all, after..."Charlie pauses trying to think of something to say.

"After you saw me naked?" Addison smirks at the young intern.

"Well...yes." She nods her head.

"Relax Dr Beck, we both have jobs to do. You do yours and I'll do mine and I think we'll be just fine." She adds a wink and struts off in her heels. It takes all of Charlie's will power not to stare at her ass. "Come along Beck. We have patients to look after."

"Fuck." She whispers under her breath.

It's late. The other interns had gone home but Charlie stays behind to watch a preemie overnight. Just in case something bad happened, someone was there. Charlie stands over the basinet, her hands just inside, allowing the baby to grip onto her finger. She smiles with a look of complete devotion.

"Oh." Charlie looks up. Addison is in the door way, file in one hand, pen in the other. A look of shock on her face. "You're still here?"

"Yeah, well. I didn't fancy drinking tonight and I wanted to make sure this one was okay." Addison smiles and puts the file on a table, she walks over and stands behind Charlie, taking a look at the preemie.

"Oh well. I'm here now, you can go if you want." Addison smiles at the intern in front of her. She takes her in. The brunette hair in a neat pony tail, the hint of a tattoo appearing out the back of her scrubs and a look on her face that Addison never wanted to stop seeing.

"Nah, I'm good. Nothing waiting for me at home apart from alcohol and shitty rom coms." Charlie replies and turns to smile at Addison. Charlie looks at the redhead and Addison takes a step forward. Charlie removes her hand and faces Addison properly. The tension between is palpable.

"Charlie." Addison whispers under her breath. She doesn't take another second and kisses her. The young intern pulls on her lab coat, wanting to be closer. Addison grips Charlie's biceps, pulling wanting more. They kiss for what feels like hours. Charlie pulls away and rests her head on Addison's.

"I've been thinking about that all day." Charlie smiles and steals another kiss from the red head. Suddenly Addison remembers where they are pulls away completely. She clears her throat and gathers herself.

"Go home, Charlie." She turns and walks away leaving the intern thinking what the hell just happened.

Charlie yawns as she changes back into her 'civilian' clothes, they make her look normal, not like superhero as her 7-year-old nephew so put it. Her messenger bag slung over her shoulder and headphones around her neck, she's ready to leave the locker room when Addison sneaks in. She stands in front of the door. Charlie watches as her hands reaches the lock. She twists it. Charlie takes a breath in and drops her bag. The tension between them snaps and the next thing Addison knows, Charlie has her pinned the door. Trailing kisses down her neck, as she has a tight grip on her thigh.

So that's how they went. For three months they would sneak in on-call rooms or Charlie would stay late and Addison would wait and they would do it up against the locker room door.

"So what's the deal with you and Satan?" Cristina asks at lunch, Charlie chokes on her coke.

She manages to stop coughing to ask, "Satan?"

"The She-Shepard." Cristina adds stealing fries off of Charlie's plate.

"Technically they're divorced now so she's just Montgomery." Meredith adds, taking a bite out of her apple.

"Oh, you mean Addison," Cristina nods her head. "Why do they call her Satan?" Charlie asks.

"It's Derek's name for her." Grey adds with a mouthful of apple.

"And how is Derek?" Cristina asks her best friend.

"Nope, we're asking Charlie the questions here." Meredith turns to her other best friend and gives her a fake smile.

"Well, we're good...you know...we talk and we...work together." Charlie tries to make it sound normal but it doesn't work.

It's like a lightbulb goes off above Cristina's head. "Oh my god, you're sleeping with Satan!?"

"Shh!" Charlie throws a fry at her. "Yes, I'm sleeping with Satan, have you seen her? She's hot, like incredibly hot, like 'step on my throat' kind of hot."

"Jesus, you're such a lesbian." Cristina laughs.

"God, we're both sleeping with a Shepard." Meredith adds and laughs with her friends

Later that day, they manage find a spare moment and meet in an on-call room. Addison rolls off of Charlie and tries to catch her breath. "Wow." They take a moment, panting, trying to reclaim the air. A pager beeps and Addison reaches over Charlie. "I've got to go, mother about to give birth." Addison crawls on top of the intern with intent to go but she gets distracted. "You have abs?" She says, her fingers running over the muscle.

"Yes. I do. How have you never noticed them?" Charlie laughs.

"Well, usually I never see you because your head is between my legs." She smirks leaning down and kissing the intern.

"Good point." Charlie adds, running her fingers through her hair.

"I really have to go through," She says as she pulls away. Addison untangles herself from the sheets and Charlie and starts to put her scrubs back on "I have a free afternoon tomorrow? Meet in Peds?" She smiles pull on her scrub pants

"Sure, if I'm free then yes but actually, I just wanted to ask something." Charlie pulls the sheet up to her chest. "What is this? Like, what are we?"

"Well...I don't know. Friends with benefits? Fuck buddies? Why?" The red head pulls her scrub top over her head and then her coat and adjusts the collar

"Oh no reason, I...just wanted to make sure I know what I'm doing."

"I know what you're doing, Charlie."

"Oh, and what exactly am I doing?"

"You're screwing Satan." Addison says with a wink and leaves the on call room, leaving behind a slightly confused Charlie.
