Episode: None, before Bionic Island
Rating: K+
Warning: Angst
Inspiration: musing on Chase's mind and memory.
Be the reason someone smiles today! :)
It all came tumbling about, after that. Chase was too exhausted to try keeping any of a secret. He spoke resignedly, to anyone.
To Tasha, soft and apologetic. "I'm sorry, Tasha. I didn't want to worry you."
To Donald. "I just... thought I could handle it."
To Leo. "Yes, I promise. I'll tell you if it happens again."
To Adam, and Bree. "But what kind of leader am I, if I can't even sleep by myself?"
It was awkward, after that, for a while. The guilt saturating the air choked them all. And no one knew how to move on.
