A/N: Yeah i know this isn't exactly what you wanted and i apologize to all who are waiting for the next chapter of they all disappeared to get uploaded, but i got swamped with homework, and i am having mega writers block. I hope to wrap up the next chapter soon and get going on the one after that. So sorry for the inconvenience, and i am working on it i promise!
this is written for Horatio's pov of countermeasures 10x01. This just popped into my head during class, and this story was born. I apologize if some parts don't perfectly match up with the episode, but at the time i didn't have the the episode in front of me to watch while i wrote. I gave it my best shot so please be nice!
Pairings: HoratioxMarisol, HoratioxNatalia(friendship)
I do not ship either pairing but i do like HoratioxMarisol. Also i dislike Natalia, but i tried not to show it here, but if i did i apologize.
Anyways enough from me and enjoy!
A shot rang out and everything shifted into slow motion at least to him. He felt pain, a sharp pain right where the bullet entered. Then felt himself falling, and he couldn't stop it. He heard Natalia's voice, but it blended in to the rest of the noise around them. Suddenly she wasn't there anymore, and he started to worry.
He was fading, and he could feel it. He could go, be could be with Mari. Something put an abrupt stop to those thoughts no not something, someone.
Natalia
She needed him, and so he fought. He forced himself up even though it seemed impossible. He forced himself to walk even though his body begged for rest. He finally makes it to the edge, and stops. He looks out across the water. He needed a moment, a moment to just breathe but to his body that was practically impossible.
His body wants to quite, but he fights. He fights because he is still needed, because she needs him, and Miami needs him as well.
Breathe in
Breathe out
Jump
The salt water stings. His vision starts to get fuzzy around the edges, but he continues to fight. He fights because he is stilled needed. She needs him. With his help she is able to get free of the trunk of the car. His vision goes black, and this time he can't fight it. His body gives out, it's up to her now.
He saves her
She saves him
He is standing on the deck of a restaurant. He looks around the crowd of people, and he spots her. She looks so beautiful in her white sundress. He sits down across from her and she smiles.
Horatio you know you have to go back
Go now
He doesn't know how he got there, but he is in the back of the ambulance. He feels Natalia's hand in his, and the paramedics saying things he can't make out. He hears her voice, and his hand slips out of hers.
Horatio you have to go
"I know sweetheart" his voice seems to reply
Go now
He could go. He could be with his beautiful Marisol, so why not? He so desperately wants to. He wants spend eternity with her, but she won't let him, not yet. Something or someone is stopping him. Someone still needs him; he just knows. Miami needs its hero, and he is more than happy to play the part.
Miami stills needs its hero
