So with the status of the current storyline, Cruz is in position to be Lulu's hero! Wouldn't that be exciting?
So here is my challenge to you, my lovely Luz girls: write a 'ficlet' (approximately 100-500 words, very doable) about any situation of Luz in the MC hostage crisis. It can be of him rescuing her personally, what happens in the aftermath, whatever you'd like.
There are no winners or losers, or judgment in this challenge. If you participate, you get a 'prize'. Unfortunately, I'm not much of an artist. I make music videos, but don't have enough clips to make a Luz vid yet. What I can offer is this: if you participate, you can give me a song prompt, and I will write you a Luz fic of 1,000 words or more, or base a chapter in Save Yourself around that song. It's your choice. (And it may not be much of a 'prize', but it's all I got right now).
I know we've got some talented people on the board, show us what you got!
BTW, Beth, this offer's good for you too
He'd been taking witness statements when she'd come back into the room. She'd been checked out by the doctor and was making her way slowly towards him. He quickly jotted down what the woman said and then excused himself and moved towards her. He stopped dead, almost like he'd hit a wall when her brother reached her.
That's right. He couldn't go to her because no one knew that they'd been dating for weeks. No one knew that he was crazy, insanely in love with his partner's kid sister. And he couldn't go over there and grab her in his arms and not let go for hours. Not unless he wanted Lucky to shoot him.
He considered taking the chance and going over, just to check, that wouldn't be weird after all, just checking up on everyone, but as he looked at the dried tears on her check he knew there would be no way he could stop himself from touching her. He also didn't know how much longer he could stay away.
Someone from on high must have heard him at that moment because Lulu looked up and made eye contact. Her eyes were wide and he could see that she was biting her lip—a clear sign that she was plotting. Finally she jerked her head to the right once. Then she spoke a few words to Lucky who nodded and gave her a kiss on the cheek. She kissed Elizabeth and headed towards the entrance.
He ran after her, but couldn't find her anywhere. He didn't even see the closet door open, there was suddenly just a hand tapping his shoulder. He turned and she ushered him quickly into the closet.
"Cruz," she said when they were face to face.
"Lulu," he whispered a moment before he kissed her, drawing her into his embrace, keeping her close to him, where he knew she would be safe.
As she sighed and he deepened the kiss his last coherent thought was that the time for hiding their relationship was over. He wasn't going to spend another second of his life without Lulu Spencer.
