A/N: A tiny drabble for a season 11 episode.


As soon as they made sure all of the young women were out and safe, Deeks ran back to Kensi and grabbed her by the forearms.

"Baby, are you ok?" Kensi let out a shuddery breath and nodded.

"Yeah, I think so. I don't think I got burnt at all," she said, still looking shaken. Deeks carefully examined as much of her as could see.

"A little bit of your hair might be singed, but I don't think it's too bad," he told her.

"If that's all, it's the least of my worries. I'm just glad we got those women out."

"Me too." Deeks tugged her into his arms and she wrapped hers around his waist. "And I'm glad you're ok too, because, my god Kens, when I saw that cage light up, I was terrified." She leaned her forehead against his shoulder and made a snuffling noise before she looked up again.

"I was too," she said.

"I could use a beer," Deeks groaned, thinking longingly of the bar.

"Me too," Kensi agreed, pulling back with a sigh.
