Title: Hero
Characters: Don Flack and Lindsay Monroe
Rating: G

When they first became serious, truly serious in living together and exchanging "I love you's" before work, she asked only one thing of Don. She asked him not to be a hero. It's her worst fear, that someday Mac would come to their apartment to tell her Don hadn't made it because he played the hero.

Don kissed her, promised her that he'd never leave her that way. "In fact, I'll never leave you at all."

She was paralyzed with fear when she couldn't reach Mac after the building blew. Lindsay's still paralyzed, sitting in the hospital room with Don.
