AUTHOR'S NOTE: One of my favorite things to do in fic is to write the missing moments, like Mick taking Sara to her room after getting stunned by Rip. This is also inspired by a S1 episode of "Prison Break." And yes, my fix-it wheels are spinning.


Mick gently laid Sara down on her bed and brushed her golden hair away from her face.

"I'm sorry, Blondie," he said quietly. "I know you feel like your whole world is gone. But we need you to be strong."

His voice dropped to a whisper. "I can't tell you this when you're awake. But right now, maybe you'll hear it deep down inside to keep you strong." He bent to her ear. "It will get better. Lenny's always got a plan."

He kissed her temple and quietly walked to the door. Before leaving, he whispered, "Have a little faith."
