Summary – This is a Hal/Maggie story and is mainly from their points of view, although it may include other characters and their point of views on Hal/Maggie's relationship too (I haven't fully decided yet). There will be a mix of episodes, as well as bits I'm adding!
Disclaimers – I don't own the show or anything to do with the episodes. If I did I would have had them together sooner and there would be A LOT more Hal on my screen! ENJOY
Moments In Time
Hal's POV
Life had been well not perfect, but normal for Hal before the attack. He had been a typical 16 year old guy, going to school, playing sports, spending time arguing with his brothers, arguing with his dad not letting him drive his motorcycle because he didn't have light, you know the normal sort of things. In a blink of an eye, it all changed, the Skitters attacked, his mum had been killed and Ben had been taken by the Skitters. The only thing that used to keep him going was that he still had his dad, his youngest brother Matt and Karen. Karen was the one person who made him feel like a normal teenager, because name him anyone his age, who had to go on scouting missions and always carried a gun around with him, on the safe side? He had met when he and his family had joined up with a group of survivors after the attack.
Karen was already there, her whole family having been killed in the attack. At first he had kept his distance, but she was brilliant in helping take care of Matt in the early stages of them joining the group, when things were most difficult. It was from there that their friendship grew and as they say the rest is history. Especially now, after the Skitters took her from him, when they were attempting to rescue Ben. He wasn't sure at first how he would cope without her, she'd always been by his side and now he had to do it on his own. At first he had been determined to get her back, but everyday that passed he knew they'd never get Karen back and even more so now. He had to carry on without her, as much as it hurt him to do so, he had too. They had come across her a few times since the harness and she wasn't the person he once knew, that much was obvious. The harness had affected her and she was clearly under the Overlord's control, as much as he didn't want to believe it, he had to face facts, Karen was gone, they'd never get her back. Plus there were others to think about now….His dad, Matt, Ben and Maggie, as well as the rest of the Second Mass.
Maggie…how things had changed between them. He could barely remember a time, when she hadn't been apart of the Second Mass. It was strange to think that she hadn't been there, when they'd first arrive at what became known as 'home'. No Maggie was a different story all together, but someone who he could trust no matter what and would always have his back, both in the field and off it. As he looked down from his spot on the roof, he spotted the blonde on her way back from a scout with Dai. He couldn't even pinpoint how they had gotten to where they were now. It had just sort of happened. The arguing, each time one of them got injured, her stubbornness, everything brought him back to this point. He wasn't sure how long it had been, when he heard a noise behind him. He didn't need to worry, he'd know those footsteps anywhere, it was Maggie. She always knew where to find him. 'Hey' she said, as she sat down beside him. 'How'd you know where to find me?' Hal responded. 'Because I know you Hal' she replied staring at her partner. Hal tried not to laugh 'of course you do' he said. Hal knew what she was thinking because she was thinking the same, they needed to talk, he had to tell her. 'Guess we need to talk about a few things, don't we?' Maggie said to Hal. 'Yeah I guess we do' replied Hal, knowing that he owed her an explanation.
