"I missed you" I say and bury my head in his neck. He knows that I really don't have the strength or energy to move anymore, so he picks me up and moves to the bed and lays me on top of him as he lays back on it. I snuggle in even further to his chest and sigh constantly.
"I love you" I say
"I love you too Jay Bird, we're gonna get through this, together like always."
"I'm scared" I murmur into his neck
"I know, but I'm right here, I won't let him touch you, I won't let him anywhere near you"
"Safe"
"Yeah"
"I'm a'mos' out of su'prese'nts"
"Hmm, how about once this whole thing is over, we go up to the cabin and spend your heat there, how does that sound?"
"Nice"
"How many do you have left?"
"Two"
"Okay have you asked Matt or Conner if they have any spares?"
"Yeah, Matt has a couple just haven't picked them up yet" I say, raising my head to give him another kiss.
"I'll pick them up later for you"
"Don't leave"
"Not leaving"
"Promise?"
"I promise"
"Good"
"How are you feeling about this?" He asks
"Bout what"
"About your father being back in town?"
"Scared, but that's a given, otherwise anxious"
"Bout what"
"About the unit finding out about him, about Will finding out" I say
"If Will does anything, or says anything about it being your fault, I will kill him before he can finish his sentence"
"You might not want to do that, considering his relationship with Conner"
"Red will just have to deal with it"
"You know he wont like that"
"Yeah, anyway, have you talked to the beta team recently" (Tier One is split into two groups when they have to separate, Alpha team and Beta team, Alpha team is Matt, Conner, Mouse and Jay, Beta team is Falcon, Trip, Delta and Tiger.)
"Not since I was trying to get you not to leave, almost a year ago now"
"How about I give them a call and see if they want to come down and help?"
"I don't want to worry them"
"But you don't want them finding out after, do you?" I shudder, the arguments, the whining and the pouting sessions that always happen after this is nothing to take lightly.
"I guess not" Mouse pulls out his phone and dials the number for our beta team. We don't call them often, 75 percent of the time they are emergencies, so they always pick up.
"What's up guys?" Falcon says when he picks up his phone
"Wait for the others than we'll tell you" Mouse says and I hum in agreement
"Hellllooooo" Trip says talking on Falcons phone
"Hello Tripito" I say and I can practically feel his pout across the phone.
"I heard that Hawkeye" Says Andrew
"Heard what?" I ask, innocently
"Nevermind" He says
"What's up A T" Tiger asks when he finally responds (A T: Alpha team)
(I'm trying the 3rd person POV, tell me if you like or how I can improve it)
"We wanted to ask you a question, well I want to, but Jay doesn't" Mouse starts now that everyone is here
"Go ahead" Andrew answers as head of the beta team
"We have a bit of a problem here in Chicago."
"When do you not?" Trip says sarcastically making all of them chuckle
"It's more than that though, Jays father is back in town, and he's making it a point to show that he knows who jay is and is trying to get to him." Mouse says, the reaction is instantaneous.
"WHAT?!" Is Andrews response
"WHEN?!" Falcon
"Is Jay okay?" Is Trips response, his inner omega coming out when one of his own is hurt, whether it be physically or mentally.
"Were on the next flight out." Tiger's answers, ever the beta, being the calm one, is the one to see that they can help by being there as soon as possible.
"Well I guess that answers the question then, ay Jay?" Mouse says, looking at his omega that's buried his head into Mouse's shirt even further.
"Sure" Is the mumbled response
"Okay, yeah, were on the next flight out, Luke can you get the tickets and the times sorted out please" Andrew asks when he's rage had simmered down a little.
"Sure Delta" Tiger responds
"Now, back to the questions, tell us everything you know" Andrew asks, and that's what Mouse did, telling the rest of the T1's the story with Jay filling in the blanks when needed, otherwise he stayed quiet, preferring to keep his head buried in Mouses chest. Mouse told them about the serial rape case and how the main suspect was Jays father, about the two Chicago victims that looked like Jay and how the second one was dressed in a ranger uniform, how they were beaten, tourtured, and raped before being stabbed seven times. Mouse even told them about the apartment fire even though it had nothing to do with the case. It was a good 45 minutes before he finished, leaving everyone in a shocked silence.
"Over a hundred known victims? I knew he was a crazy, evil, psychotic son of a bitch, but this, this is a whole new level." Says falcon
"How's Jay holding up?" Trip asks, Mouse looks down at his omegas still form, Jay had fallen asleep halfway through the apartment fire story.
"All things considered, he's doing okay, scared but okay" Mouse says.
"Good, where was he staying before you got there?" Trip asks, Mouse conveniently left out the part where Jay was staying with Voight.
"He was staying with Sergeant Voight while they sorted out his father, when his apartment burned down, Voight offered to let Jay stay with him until he found someplace else." Mouse said
"It's nice to know he had other people looking out for him beside us" Falcon says
"I wouldn't have left if I didn't think he was safe" Mouse says
"I don't think he would have let you leave if he didnt think it was safe" Trip says
"True" Mouse says
"He's sleeping?" Andrew asks
"As of about 15 minutes ago, yeah" Mouse says
"Good, it's gonna be a rough couple of days, better sleep while he can" Luke says
"When's the next flight to Chicago?" Falcon asks
"5 hours, already got the tickets, leaves at 4:45 PM, gets to OHare at 7 tonight" Luke says
"Good" Andrew says
"It'll be nice to have the gang back together, but what about being spotted?" Mouse asks
"We will deal with that if it comes up, otherwise we don't worry about it, protecting Jay is more important right now." Andrew says
"Okay" Mouse says
"You doing okay, Mouse?" Trip asks
"Fine" Mouse says
"That's not the truth, and you know it." Trip
"I don't know. I haven't really had time to think since I left camp yesterday. I pretty much crashed on both plane rides and in the bunks at fort Benning. Other than that all I've been thinking about is Jay and the situation." Mouse says
"Be careful, avoid triggers at all costs, Jay has enough to deal with right now without his PTSD acting up." Trip says
"I will, but it'll be easier with more eyes looking out for them" Mouse says
"We'll be there as soon as possible but these things take time" Luke says
"I know its just, waiting for anything is annoying" Mouse says
"Yeah I know that all too well, cough cough Trip cough cough" Luke says making all of us laugh, surprisingly Jay doesn't wake up despite Mouse shaking with laughter.
"I'll try to avoid the triggers, but you know that some of them can't be avoided" Mouse says
"Yeah I know, just check the weather for storms every few days." Trip says.
"I already do, you know that" Mouse says
"Can't be too careful" Trip says
"Anyway, are you taking him to your apartment?" Falcon says
"Probably, but I'm gonna wait until Voight and Erin get home" Mouse says
"Good idea, don't want them sending out the search parties if they find out he's not there" Luke says. Just then Jay's phone buzzes with a text. Mouse grabs the phone and sees that it's from Voight saying that they would probably be at the district all night. Mouse sends a text back saying that Jay is asleep and that when he wakes up Mouse will take him to his apartment. The response is instantaneous saying it's okay but to check in often.
"That was from Voight saying they would be at the precinct and it's okay to take Jay back to my apartment." Mouse says and returns the phone to the bedside table.
"Good" Trip says
"We'll be there as soon as we can be" Andrew says
"Jay bird" Mouse says softly, shaking Jay's shoulder trying to wake him up, surprisingly he still doesn't wake up.
"Jay bird" Mouse says a little bit louder, still shaking his shoulders. He tries again louder and this time he wakes up.
"What?" Jay whines sleepily
"I'm taking you to my apartment." Mouse says
"You really don't like being woken up, do you jay?" Trip says laughing
"No I don't" Jay whines again. Mouse moves out from underneath Jay. He moves around the room collecting my stuff. When he's done, he leaves the room for a moment to put the stuff in Jay's car that Voight brought over the night before from work. Jay whines really loud when he sees Mouse leave the room
"How are you feeling, buddy boy?" Andrew asks
"Tired, annoyed" Jays whines
"I can hear that, but otherwise how are you feeling?" Andrew asks
"Scared" Jay admits
"I know, I would be too" Trip says
"Why though, why know after all these years would he come after me?" Jay whines
"It doesn't matter why." Trip says
"It only matters that he's on our radar now" Andrew says
"And I for one, is glad that he is." Mouse says as he walks back into the room.
"Mousey" Jay whine
"He's being cute, isn't he?" Andrew asks
"Yes he is" Mouse says
"Fafa" Jay whines again
"Yes Jay" Mouse says
"Snuggle time?" Jay asks and Mouse rolls his eyes. In any other state of mind, Jay would never be this verbal about his wants and desires, but right now his omega is overruling any other state of mind. When he's like this the only thing he wants is to cuddle with his alpha.
"When we get back to my apartment." Mouse says and Jay whines again
"All he wants to do is snuggle mouse, why are you being mean?" Trip asks while all four of them are laughing.
"You try dealing with him at this moment in time." Mouse grumbles
"We both know that you won't leave his side." Trip teases
"Stop it you two" Luke says
"We gotta go and tell our directors that we're going to be taking vacation days for a while," Andrew says.
"Okay bye" Mouse says
"Byyeee" Jay says and the rest of them sound off, and then the calls end.
"Let's head out Jay" Mouse says
"Carry me down the stairs." Jay whines and raises his arms. Even though Mouse tries to keep up an image in front of the guys, when it's just the two of them, Mouse can't deny Jay anything, especially when Jays in omega mode, as Mouse calls it.
"Fine" Mouse says and picks up his omega and carries him down the stairs to the door. Mouse then puts him down and they both walk out the door and to the car.
"Thanks for coming home, Mousey" Jay says as they start driving.
"I was coming home in two weeks anyway, I just put a rapid rush on it when you told me the news." Mouse says
"Well I'm glad you did, cause I needed you here" Jay says flashing Mouse a smile
"Me too" Mouse replies, they make the rest of the trip in silence.
"Were here Jay" Mouse says
"I have eyes you know" Jay says
"I didn't know if you had fallen asleep or not, so" Mouse says back. They both got out of the car and walked into the building. They went up in the elevator and walked through the door into Mouses apartment.
