I want to take a moment to thank everyone who's reviewed this story. This is now my most reviewed story, and I can't tell you guys how much that means to me. But please, don't stop reviewing now! We're only at chapter 16, so we've got lots more to go.

Also, thank you to Duby34 for your continued support, and for not getting mad when I used your video as inspiration without asking you first. I'm glad you like it so far.

One more thing. This is a kind of extended scene for the 3rd season finale when Rick pulls Kate from the hangar, because I just re-watched the episode today. And when I re-watched Rise, I was inserting 'and then we can make babies' (or whatever variation worked.) whenever Rick or Kate said something important to each other. That's normal, right?

#46 Because he's the only one who can make her stop

As Rick carried Kate from the hangar, he struggled to keep his arms around her as she did her best to fight him off. Hearing her voice so broken as she tried to get away was almost enough to make him let her go, but he knew in the back of his mind that it wouldn't end well, and that was all that kept his arms around her as he took her away.

But when they were in the clear, he couldn't keep his arms around her any longer, so he backed her up against the car he'd brought and used that to help him. She was still crying out, so Rick covered her mouth, desperate for her to quiet down, because if any of the men came back here, they were in serious trouble.

Finally, he managed to get her to quiet down, but her eyes made his heart ache. They were full of unshed tears, and Rick knew he was partly responsible for their presence. He brought his free hand up to her face and stroked his thumb over her cheekbones in an effort to keep her calm and quiet. Kate seemed to understand the urgency to keep quiet, and she nodded subtly. Rick dropped his hand from her mouth, but left the other by her face, unaware that it had been partially buried in her hair.

Suddenly, gunshots rang out, and they froze. It was over in a matter of seconds, and Rick was once again fighting to keep Kate in place. She fought against him for as long as she could, but eventually she fell limp against him again. Her hands were fisted in his shirt, and Rick realized that he was all that was keeping her upright. It was silent for another moment, and then another gunshot rang out.

Instantly, Rick knew it was over, and he knew what he would find. So he let Kate go and watched for a moment as she ran back into the hangar, and a second later, he was following her. He found her crouched over the man who'd been her mentor and her friend, and he decided to give her a moment to grieve. But then he heard he sirens, and he knew that if they were discovered with Montgomery, there would be questions, and he knew neither of them were keen on others finding out what had happened.

So he crouched down, and after a moment, he convinced Kate to stand, and he led her back out the door and to his car. As they drove away, he saw her turn back to try and get one last look at their captain, but Rick was more interested in getting her home. Of course, he would have rather taken her back to the loft, where she wouldn't be alone, but he couldn't do that.

Not yet.

I know it's really short, but it was intended to be an expansion of a scene we didn't really get to see, so it couldn't have been very long.

If you have any ideas for any of the numbers, please let me know. I have a few planned out already, but there are a few that I could use help with. So if you have an idea, let me know, and if it's one I don't have a plan for, I'll do my best to write yours.

Feel free to follow me on Twitter at AllyLobster. If your Twitter name isn't similar to your FF name, just send me a PM and let me know, since I have to approve people to follow me, and that way I won't decline someone on accident.

Reviews are wonderful. You should write one. :)
