AN - Something that came to me while watching Ep2. No spoilers. My first foray into A2A fics, so be gentle.
None of these characters are mine. I just borrowed them and I promise I will return them...
Alex Drake stood and watched. Could only stand and watch as the shaking girl pushed past Chris and towards Gene, burying her head in his chest. She was sobbing and incoherent, muttering something about an ambulance. Alex was almost jealous of the the arms that were round her, anchoring her.
'Drake!' he barked.
She jerked out of her reverie, watching his arms tighten round the young officer.
'Drake!' The command was repeated, more loudly this time. She turned on her heel, reluctantly following the rest of the team as Gene wrapped his arms more firmly round the girl, holding her close, whispering something into her hair.
That should be me, she thought, remembering the feel of those arms round her, remembering how safe she felt in that embrace. In that moment, she was almost jealous.
