Ethan sat on the uncomfortable hotel chair staring at the image on the television screen in front of him. He distantly felt his jaw drop in surprise and confusion as the news program went to commercial.
Jane looked up from her computer and wasn't sure what to make of the senior agents current state. She balled up a piece of paper and threw it, hitting Benji on the forehead.
His head snapped up, shooting Jane an annoyed look before he looked over to where she was frantically motioning. He was shocked to see the unflappable Ethan Hunt staring open mouthed and unmoving at a commercial for laundry detergent. He looked back to Jane, raising an eyebrow in question. She shrugged, unsure what was going on with their team leader.
Benji was the first to break the silence, "Ethan, you alright over there?" Benji and Jane waited for any form of acknowledgement but Ethan didn't speak or even move.
Jane got up and moved to squat in front of the catatonic agent, "Ethan is everything alright?"
Ethan's eyes flickered to Jane before going back to the television. Ethan cleared his throat and shook his head to clear his thoughts. When he finally spoke, his words caused the other agents eyes to widen almost comically.
"I just saw Brandt jump off a roof and shoot an arrow at an alien."
A/N- so I got totally bored and my brain wouldn't let me work on my other stuff so I just let the plot bunnies roam free. I've been wanting to write a Barton is Brandt fic and this was short and sweet, I might even write more, it's one of my favorite tags.
