Scott's Concern
A/N: This is what you get when I start watching my TB boxset at the weekend lol. This is token in the episode Terror In New York City
I should have been the first to leave the danger zone in New York but due to me having to chase Ned Cook since the idiot was taking photographs when I asked him not too, he really would do anything for a story. Once I had stopped Ned I was making my way home, when Virgil called me to let me know that theSentinel was out testing so he was going to change his course to the island.
Why do I feel so awful that it should have been me that got shot down instead of Virgil? Once Virgil got hit it scared me to death, when TB2 got hit again I thought 'This is it, I am going to lose my closest brother for good". I felt my heart skip a beat when Virgil wouldn't answer my calls. It wasn't until I told Virgil to pull up that he did. I thanked mum for keeping Virgil safe until we got back home with TB2.
I knew that Virgil was not going to like it, none of us liked TB2 being out of action. It's going to take us weeks to fix her up. It's not going to be easy for Virg to sit out on missions. To be honest I don't know what we are going to do if we need TB2 then we can't do the call out.
When I got home both Alan and Gordon were in TB2 trying to find Virgil. I had landed TB1 close by and was ready to go in after him only to be stopped by Dad putting his arm on my shoulder.
"Dad that should have been me there not Virgil, if I had of known the danger Virgil was in then..." I didn't have time to finish my sentence when Dad cut me off.
"Scott you wouldn't have known about it, you were trying to protect this organisation when you went chasing Ned Cook. Virgil is not going to blame you for that."
"I know Dad, I just feel awful about how this turned out you know. We could have lost Virgil there if I didn't tell him to pull up in time."
"Son, we all know how that could have ended but in the end it was you that saved your brother's life when you told him to pull up. Scott things could have been far worse for Virgil."
"It's just really hard Dad, it's just so hard to get my head around it. I know I can't protect my brothers all the time but when something like this happens...Dad it makes me think." I trailed off, really not wanting to go there. "I hope its ok with you Dad, i want to go and stay with Virgil in the sickbay tonight because once he hears the news about TB2, he is going to need me there to help him."
"Its fine son. I think that Virgil would have a better chance talking to you than anyone else about what is going on in his head right now."
"Ok thanks for the drink and the advice." said Scott as he walked away from Jeff and towards the sickbay to see Virgil.
