A/N: And so the story concludes. I know that I took forever to complete this, and I appreciate every person who has stuck with me through insane amounts of homework and killer writer's block. Basically, I just want to say thank you for all the reviews that kept me going.


1200 ZULU
CIA 'secret hospital that doesn't exist'
April 20th 2003

The day had dawned bright and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. A warm breeze set the leaves of the trees in motion and made for an extraordinary view to look at from a window.

There were five people in a small room sparsely furnished with a desk and a few diagrams on the walls. They were AJ, Mac, Webb, Harm, and an eye specialist.

A white bandage still encircled Harm's head, covering his sightless eyes. Today was the day that they were to remove the coverings and see if the commander would ever see again.

"Are you ready?" The doctor asked. She had been seeing the commander regularly since the day he had shown up in the CIA Hospital looking like the victim of ten hit and run accidents. She knew that there was a good chance the Harm's eyesight would be back today, but she didn't want to get his hopes up.

The tall man nodded stiffly. His back was stiff with tension and his jaw was clenched. Mac could tell he was scared… ahem… just worried would be what Harm would say.

Mac walked over and placed her hand on his shoulder and smiled slightly when his posture became a fraction more relaxed.

"Okay Harm, lets get this off, shall we." The doctor said.

She carefully peeled away the bandage and other things, finally revealing Harm's closed eyes.

"Keep them closed for a minute," the doctor said not unkindly.

She went to the light switch on the wall and dimmed the lights significantly.

"All right Harm, open 'em"

Harm carefully opened his eyes, at first it was the same as always and then slowly, blurry forms came into shape. They continued to unscramble until he could plainly see the outlines of four people standing around him. He blinked a couple of times, and then they all came into focus. He met Mac's eyes first, then AJ's, then the doctor's, and then finally Clay's.

A dam seemed to burst within him as all of the tension of the past few weeks seemed to drain from his in a great wave. His lips widened into a smile and his eyes crinkled as he jumped up and picked up the nearest female, namely Mac, and spun her around in a circle. He laughed. He then dropped Mac and planted a kiss on the doctor's cheek.

His antics had everyone in the room laughing.

Harm stopped and just looked around, an expression of sheer joy on his face. Everyone grew quiet, waiting for Harm to make his next move.

He just looked at all of them and in a soft voice exclaimed.

"I can see."
