Help get A.T.O.M. its own section! Argh!
Title: Not There
Summary: A.T.O.M. Double-length drabble. What could Lioness have been thinking about in Showdown?
Notes: L/A. Lioness POV, except flashbacks in italics, which are third person. The second flashback didn't happen, I made it up. My first drabble… I put angst, but I don't really know what genre...
Disclaimer: See profile.
I… don't know what's happening.
I thought that we had something, but…
"Hey, you saved me! Isn't that worth something!"
Axel walked away, letting the hand drop from his shoulder.
Apparently not.
I remember how he was so worried when I was kidnapped by Vinnie 'The Mass'. To be honest, I was kind of freaked out afterwards, scared that he might come back. I'm not used to being treated like some wimp of a girl - I've always been able to take care of myself. But the thought of someone being able to take me against my will so easily…
"Hey, it's alright."
Lioness leaned into the embrace, comforted by his warmth. She looked up at his face, smiling slightly.
"I know."
He squeezed her briefly, silently letting her know that he would always be there for her.
Axel is acting so cold. He's thrown us out, attacked us in the worst way possible… And for what?
I know it hurts him to have lost his father, but that doesn't give him the right to act like such a brat. Can't he see we can share the pain? We could be there to help…
I could be there for him…
