Just For You
By Gabs
DISCLAIMER: Nope, they still don't belong to me. Belong to Bad Robot and all them peoples. The song 'Just For' belongs to Nickelback, because they sing it and all. I heard it for the first time today, and it just made me think of Sydney and Vaughn and Sloane, so that's where this came from. Vaughn's pov.
*I want to take his eyes out
Just for looking at you
Yes I do
I want to take his hands off
Just for touching you
Yes I do*
It hurts me to see her in so much pain. The worst part is that I can't do anything about it. I don't mean because of protocol, the whole agent-handler thing. I am more than willing to break protocol for her. I have, actually. I'd say it's almost a regular occurrence these days. No, protocol isn't the problem. I cant help Sydney because the man who is responsible for her pain is still alive and still in charge. Sloane is still calling the shots at SD-6, and still hurting her constantly. And for now, there is not a damn thing I can do about it.
These thoughts are going through my mind as I watch Syd trying to keep her emotions under control after having visited her mother again. "She is up to something, I know it. I just wish I could figure out what." This is a new side of Sydney, one I've only been seeing since her mother shot her and then turned herself in to the CIA. "Well, the only way I can think of to find out what she's doing is to keep using her, keep using her intel." She nods miserably. "I know, and I hate it. I am, essentially, taking directions from two of the people I hate most in the world." I frown at the mention of Sloane. "He actually tried to play all sweet and caring today. He congratulated me on the last mission, and gave me a hug. A hug! He even kissed my cheek. I felt so nauseous…" As Syd continues to rant about Sloane, she doesn't notice how angry I am getting.
I want to kill Sloane.
*And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break his mind down
Yes I do*
I swear, if I had the chance, I would. I would kill him and I wouldn't feel an ounce of remorse, not after all the pain he's caused Sydney. I'm pulled out of my reverie by Syd standing up. "I better get going. I told Francie I was just going to see my dad real quick. That was almost an hour ago." That smile I love so much spreads tentatively across her face. "Thanks for listening Vaughn." I smile. "Any time Syd." She grins more certainly this time. "Bye." I watch her leave. Even through that sweet smile, I can see the pain in her eyes. And I sincerely believe it is all because of him.
*And I want to make him
Regret life since the day he met you
Yes I do
And I want to make him
Take back all that he took from you
Yes I do*
I am so afraid each time she leaves on a mission for SD-6. I'm always afraid that she won't come back, or that the counter mission will backfire and he'll have her killed for betraying him. He has stolen so much from her already, and I can't bear the thought of him taking her life too. But each time she has to go back to SD-6 and face him, the risk of that happening becomes greater. And, for that reason if no other, I am absolutely determined to put an end to SD-6 and Arvin Sloane, once and for all. Getting up to leave the warehouse, I know that until we can end it all, I will have to settle for counter missions and secret meetings, and my dreams of seeing him dead. Soon, that dream will be reality. It has to. But I'm just afraid that it won't be soon enough.
*And I want to rip his heart out
