Involuntary Saga

by Rebershekk

When Scott and Virgil are broken, Alan's left crippled by guilt, Gordon's finally out of his depth, and John's left to spiral out of control. Injuries, dark themes and language in later parts. - Made of many small chapters so not actually as huge as it seems I promise.

21. Hindsight

Brains had sat at his desk after Kayo had left. Sitting and thinking while MAX sat and watched.

He was here to make sure the Tracys were safe, he built their equipment, tested it and maintained it, well, apart from Thunderbird Two. He scoffed, he would be doing that now wouldn't he? giving Virgil's state. His stomach twisted at the thought, and what about Scott? He pushed the palms of his hands against his eyes as the thoughts about the two of them stumbled about his mind, and now Mrs Tracy was coming home and she would be looking at him, telling him what he already knew, that he should have had a way to ensure things like this didn't happen, and she would be right. Out of everything he had made and built and tested he hadn't thought of anything like this, and why not? He should have, they had been caught in fires and explosions in the past, so why hadn't he taken that and thought of an example like this, Virgil had had to work on machinery on site before. He should have put two and two together! He cringed as he heard the engines rolling in, an ominous whine announcing the matriarch's arrival.
