A matter of perspective

Disclaimer: I don't own sleepy Hollow or its characters.

Summary: This is an additional scene from necromancer. This will contain spoilers if you haven't seen it. After finding out that the horseman is Ichabod's former friend, Abby gives him some perspective. This is pure friendship fluff with some cursing

It was yet another long night for Abby and Ichabod. As the two witnesses to the end of days, it was fore told that they would experience several years of trials. It hasn't been that long, but to Abby it was starting to get old pretty fucking fast.

As she looked across at Crane, she could tell that it was getting to him as well, especially after tonight. She knew Brooks was right, interrogating the horseman did leave a dark shadow over him. Especially after finding out that the horseman was Crane's old friend who sold his soul to the devil to get revenge on crane and get his wife Katrina. Seeing Crane lost in his own thoughts, Abby knows its time that Crane snaps out of it. She knew how to do it as well.

"You have any regrets crane?"

Ichabod, stunned out of his own thoughts by the question, looks at Abby and asks "I beg your pardon leftenant?"

Abby clarified, "You have any regrets marrying Katrina?"

Ichabod, with a look of bewilderment, says "Absolutely not! She is one of, if not the best thing that has ever happened to me. The time I had spent with her was the best time of my life. It was a great day when I meet her."

A smile grew across Abby's face. She then says "There you go. Now will you stop blaming yourself for what happened to you friend?"

Crane regained that look of sadness and said "But Ms. Mills, it was that sense of betrayal that caused Abraham to sell his soul and become death in the first place."

Abby looks at Crane and says "Your wrong. It wasn't any false sense of betrayal. It was your wife leaving someone she was going to be miserable with, for someone she loved. For someone she knew was the better man. Besides, your still going to fight to get her out of limbo right? Your not going to let that headless prick win right?!

Ichabod stands up and says "Absolutely not!"

"Then drop it and lets use what we've learned and stop Death!"

As crane sits back down, he allows himself to smile for the first time since he interrogated the horseman. He looks across and says "Thanks Abby."

Abby looks back and says "Your welcome Ichabod."
