A/N: Hi! How's it going, all?
This chapter is being posted from the end of a walk for Alzheimer's awareness, and I thought I'd mention it here. It seems to fit an arc about memory. I don't have any personal connection to Alzheimer's, but most do. Work to end Alzheimer's!
Thanks to bradburythequeen for the prompt review! Enjoy, brad :)
Episode: None, before Bionic Island
Rating: K+
Warning: Angst
Inspiration: musing on Chase's mind and memory.
Be the reason someone smiles today! :)
No!" Chase gasped, flinching away. "Keep back!" His eyes were wild, and Adam couldn't maintain his front of indifference any more.
"Chase, bro, talk to me. What's wrong?" Nothing. "Chasey..."
The long-abandoned nickname seemed to get through. Chase finally gasped,"I... I attacked you."
Adam shrugged, tried to smile. "It's about time you gave me some pay-back. No one was hurt, Chase. I'm okay, Bree's okay. Are- are you okay?"
"I could- have... killed you."
Adam almost smiled. "I think you're exaggerating."
Chase shook his head, deadly serious. "No. I- could have- killed you."
And somehow, suddenly, Adam believed him.
