Saving Winn: Chapter 1
Everyone was head to the D.E.O. for a debriefing on a case, and Winn quickly relized he wasn't needed. At least that's what he thought.
"Hey." Winn said as walked in the room. "Do you need me to reprogram the satellite or do you need me to make a algorithm?" He said in his usual ready to do anything if it'll help tone of voice.
This is when J'onn spoke up and said "Well uh... we actually don't need you for this case." Not sounding entirely honest.
Winn was taken aback by this statement. "Well are you sure there's nothing I can do o help?"
"Agent Schott, I said your services are not need with this case." J'onn said in a much more forceful voice.
"Okay... I guess I'll just um... go then." Everyone was just standing around with sad looks on their faces knowing there's a good reason he shouldn't know. Not yet anyways.
Kara spent the rest of the day feeling so bad for Winn, until she just couldn't take the guilt anymore. She decided to just call him at first to see how he was doing. Before she called him however she had to think about what to tell him. She knew he would ask even if she said she couldn't. Winn was too thinking about calling Kara, he was quicker on the draw however. Kara was headed to the kitchen to grab some leftover Pizza and Pot Stickers hoping her favorite comfort food would help her relax before she called Winn. Right as she opened the fridge Winn called she sighed before answering.
"Hey, Winn" Kara said as she answered the phone. "What's up?"
"Um.. well I was just thinking about this morning, and you know never mind." And he hung up.
"Huff." Winn sighed as he got off the phone with Kara.
What was I thinking calling her like that. I'm so stupid sometimes, you know what now that I think about it I'm always stupid. Winn thought to himself. Tomorrow I'm just gonna go into work like nothing happened, and forget it ever happened. Am I crazy I can't do that! What the hell I am crazy I'm talking to myself granted it's in my head, but I think that makes it worse. No, tomorrow I'm gonna ask J'onn what the case was about anyway. I'm sure he won't care if I know, but wait what if he does care? He won't though, cause if it were that important he would've told me , and I'd be in on it. Also if it weren't important it would be no big deal if I knew. So, it's settled I'll go ask J'onn what the case is. If he doesn't want to tell me I can just look it up in the case files on my computer.
There was still a small voice in his head telling him to just look (hack) it up in the morning.
When he got there in the morning he decided to not listen to his long talk he had with himself the night before, but to listen to that one voice and just go straight for his computer. All just to find out that it was a sealed file the only sealed file. for the most part of the day he managed not to think about it after he found out it was sealed, but at the few hours of the day he just couldn't help himself and stared at it until he just had to try. Fifteen minuets later he hacked in.
"Wow that was easy." He accidentally said out loud.
"What was easy?" one of his co-workers asked
"Um... nothing I just won tickets to a concert, oh wait it was prank. Sorry.
