I found Bones in her office, thinking. "It just doesn't seem rational" she suddenly stated. "I mean, I know it's right there in front of me, but it just can't be true. Right?" She looked over at me pleadingly. Her big sweet eyes pulled me in as if they had their own gravitational pull.
I sat down next to her and she laid her head on my shoulder. "I know. It'll be okay Bones," I comforted.
"Sorry, am I interrupting something?" Camile asked from the doorway. Crap, crap, crap!
"No, no," said Bones, removing her head from my shoulder.
"I... uh... have some forms to drop off." Camile walked over and placed some papers on the desk. "I'll call you if I find anything... I guess." She glanced between us again and backed out. We were alone again, but the moment was gone. Wow, that sounded way worse than it should.
She hugged me and got up to go to her computer. As she began to type, I left. I had figured out a way to get out of the lab without passing Angela or Camile's office, so I can avoid being awkward with Cam, or being called "hottie" or "studly" by Angela. Luckily, I made it through and headed for the FBI building.
I sat at my desk, but all I could think about was Bones. This kind of irrational thing tortures her. Even so, I can't help but imagine her with silver-tipped white wings, soaring over the Jeffersonian. She was doing flips, spinning like an angel.
"Booth." Her sweet lip moved, slowly forming my name. "Booth". I snapped back into reality and saw it was actually Sweets. Embarrassing!
"Yeah?" I answered.
"Are you having trouble with something?" He asked.
"No," I sighed. "Why did you come Sweets?"
"I got a profile on our killer in the Angel case."
"What did you get?" I asked.
"The person has millitary and medical background, and doesn't care that he or she killed a human... bird... uh, whatever it is."
"Great." I dismissed him and he left, before I leaned back in my chair and sighed. How could someone do this? To an innocent child? She was so young, defenseless! I will catch that bastard if it is the last thing I do.
But now, all I can do is wait. Leaning back further, I closed my eyes and went back to my daydream. She swirled and swooped, smiling at me all the while. Her smile was nice and sweet. I watched her going so fast that tears formed in her eyes, which just made them all the more sparkly. So beautiful... My phone rang and the caller ID read "Bones".
"Yes, beautiful."
"Booth?" Camile asked.
"Oh!" I almost fell out of my chair. "Camile, why are you on Bones' phone?"
"Dr. Brennan is in trouble, come NOW!
I got up and rushed out the door. "Don't worry Camile, I'll be right there!"
"Don't call me Cami-," I hung up in the middle of her sentence, running downstairs and out onto the sidewalk.
I got to the Jeffersonian in about five minutes because I used the Siaran. I ran into the main room to find Max, Nick, Sean, Dylan,and Bones, my Bones, covered in blood.
"Bones, are you ok? Please, c'mon." I lifted her to a sitting position. "Bones, Bones, what happened? Bones?"
"Don't call me Bones!" She smiled at me, and I smiled back.
"Can we end this gushy moment?" Max stood up and brushed her jeans off. "Report."
"Fine," Nick said as he got up.
"Bloody nose, but otherwise ok." Sean rose up and patted his jacket.
"I'm fine, are you alright?" Dylan moved closer to Max.
As Max scooted closer to Nick, she replied."I'm good. Are you ak Temperance?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Micro fractures on both distal radaii..." Brennan began catologing her injuuries and I went over tp Camile.
"Hey Camile. Uh, can you forget how I answered the phone earlier?" I asked.
"Don't call me Camile and we have a deal."
"Ok Cam, or would you prefer Dr. Saroyan?"
"Cam is fine." Cam smiled and walked away, and I turned to face the Flock.
"So, who wants to tell me what that is?" I pointed at a wolf lying prone on the ground.
Max ignored me, and turned to face where Angela, Xyavier, and Tiffany had arrived. "Okay guys. We need to see if there are more coming." I saw her tap the back of Sean's hand twice. Everyone nodded, running out the door and swooping into the air. THey were followed by Angela, Bones, Cam, and I, all on foot. We stepped outside to see the most amazing thing any of us had ever viewed. Seven pairs of wings were soaring in circlees above the Jeffersonian. I felt someone grab my hand and and I looked over to see Bones. She was so happy with her eyes on the sky.
"Booth, I know this sounds irrational, but I want to fly, to have wings, to just be above everything, the wind in my hair. Flying fast."
"You can fly Bones."
"How?"
"There are different ways to fly," I said. I put my arms around her waist and she didn't flinch. She grabbed my collar and pulled me in closer and closer until her soft lips met mine and were both flying!
