Character: Liz/Brigadier
Liz listened to the sounds of the hospital equipment beeping. It seemed to taunt her as she could only watch and hold Alistair's hand. She willed him back to consciousness and that the stroke caused him no ill effects. She took a deep breath as his eyes remained stubbornly closed.
This was the man who stared down aliens from all over the Universe, yet this was a battle he had to face alone. Liz could only stay beside him and hold his hand.
She felt him squeeze her hand and his weak voice was music to her ears, 'Hello Lizzie.'
