Yippee! This is my second fic now. We just finished our first periodical test, and it was so tiring! I mean, studying for like four hours a day tires you out. A lot. So to celebrate, a new story! Please review after reading.
Summary: This is a Fearless FBI and Mediator crossover. After Will died, Gaia never got over him. Ed hates her, too. Going to California, she meets Suze and Jesse, with - uh oh - Ed and Gina. So, the questions are... How can they save Will? Will Jesse allow Suze to do her plan to help them? What if it's too dangerous? What about Paul? What will happen when you mix a girl lacking a sense with a girl having an extra sense? Will they get their happy ending? So the drama begins...
Warning: This contains MAJOR spoilers for the ending of Fearless FBI. Not to mention Mediator. So risk reading this and spoil yourselves!
Saving Will - Chapter 1: Fearless?
Gaia's POV:
"Hi Ed. It's me. Gaia."
"Gaia? Gaia... Oh! As in Gaia Moore? The Gaia with long blond hair and super karate skills? Is that really you?" the voice on the other line asked incredulously.
I forgot to tell you. I was trained to fight at a very young age. Karate, martial arts, Kong fu, you name it, I can do it. That why I have diesel arms and thunder thighs. Not so attractive on a woman.
"Yes Ed. It's really me," I answered him.
"Well then, if it's really you, then why did you just call now? After all those years of waiting? The sleepless nights. The nightmares," As he said the word nightmares, his voice suddenly dropped to a whisper.
"I spent nights wondering if you were alright. If you had a place to live in. If you were okay. If you were alive..." His voice was filled with pain. And, on the word alive, his voice finally cracked.
"What gave you the sudden urge to just pick up the phone? Hmmm? Why me of all the people?" he asked, his voice now hard.
"Look Ed, I'm sorry. I should have never left you. I realize that now. I just want a clean new start," I pleaded. (A/N: I have not read the actual book where Gaia left Ed on their Prom Night, so I am just improvising here. Sorry.)
"No, Gaia. After all those years, I just got over you. Now you call, and expect me to leap for joy? To cry tears of joy? What? You didn't expect me to move on? Grow up Gaia. I'm not the Ed you remembered. I've change," he informed me angrily.
Oh no. This is going wrong. In my head when I rehearsed it, Ed would be so glad I called, he would help me right away... Life is cruel. Just as it is unpredictable. And that is a fact. I should know.
"Ed please... I - I need you..." Yikes. I'm on the verge of a breakdown. This is baaaad. I rarely cry. Just proves that being fearless is different from being emotionless. There. I just told you my biggest secret. I'm fearless. Only a few people know about that. Will was one of them. Oh, Will...
It has been two months now. And I am not yet over the fact that Will is dead. Wait. I should explain, right? We were solving a case called the Lollipop Murderer. This guy murdered single mothers and gave a lollipop to their sons. Later, after I went AWOL and found out that Catherine was a terrorist, we found the guy. Bob Bentley. Who also dated Will's mom. Before he was about to murder Kelly, we thought it was Will who was the Lollipop Murderer. Because of Kim Lau. How I hated him. Coz before we found out the truth, I stripped Will of his weapon. And then Bob stabbed him. He was going to kill me, but Will got his gun and shot him first. But in the process, he spilled a lot of blood, causing his death. So you can say that he died because of me. The pain was a lot worse when Jake died. I seem to be a bad luck magnet. First my mom, then Mary, then Jake, and now Will. Not to talk about my demented uncle Loki. Or my dad who disappeared and came back years after. Then disappeared. Again.
Just thinking about him made my eyes fill with tears.
"C'mon Gaia. Tell me the reason why you called." He paused. "Wait a minute. It's a guy, isn't it? A guy broke your heart and now you're running to me."
"How did you know?" I asked him.
"Because. Remember Sam Moon? And Jake? Not to mention Prom Night when you left me," he answered bitterly. "I am sorry, but I'm not gonna come running back to you every time a guy breaks your heart."
"No Ed. He didn't dump me. He was murdered," That did it. The waterworks began. Great.
"Oh Gaia. I'm so sorry," He said sympathetically.
"Thanks Ed. I knew you would understand," I said gratefully.
"Get a grip Gaia. Did you really think bringing up the waterworks would soften me up? Think again!" he said harshly.
"Goodbye Gaia. Don't bother calling me again."
"Ed wait!" But it was no use. He hung up on me. "Ed..." I whispered softly. "What happened to you?"

"OK, I would like to book a ticket for California please," I told the lady behind the counter. A few moments later, I had booked a trip to California. I have decided to go on vacation. I need a major break. I couldn't stand to be around here anymore. So, wasting no time, I bought a plane ticket to California right away. I would be staying at an expensive hotel called the Pebble Beach Resort for three weeks. I might extend my trip. Or even move there. Maybe I might become a waitress there. I always wanted to be one. Good thing I had some money saved.

Gina's POV:
It had been a really long time since I have seen Suze in California, so when my boyfriend Ed, told me he wanted a vacation, I suggested sunny California. I had called Suze that I would be visiting her next week, and she was ecstatic. It was going to be summer vacation. Also, I told her we would be staying at Pebble Beach Resort where she worked a year ago. I didn't think her mom would allow me and Ed to stay with them for a month. Plus, I wanted to see Jesse, her boyfriend. I have never met him yet, and Suze really wanted to introduce me to him. Who knows? Maybe something interesting might actually happen.
So...what do you think? Do you love it, hate it, whatever? Please review so I will know whether my story sucks or not. And Suze will be coming out in the next chapter. It's even in her POV. And Jesse will be there. YAY! OK. Bye now. Now review!
