Tarzan Boy
He forgot, sometimes. Forgot that the others weren't like him. Forgot that he was a creature unto himself. It was easy enough to do - they were the brightest minds in the country, after all - but it hurt even more when he remembered. Remembered that there was no one like him. Not really.
The jet was quiet, the team busy sleeping or pouring over their paperwork from the case - paperwork he'd finished within the first twenty minutes of the flight.
"He's so lifelike."
His hand brushed across his cheek, feeling the ghost of her finger there.
Being one-of-a-kind was sort of nice, but being the only one of your kind was something else.
Fin.
