A/N: Written for prompt no. 1: "But now this room is spinning while I'm trying just to fill in all the gaps."

Safety Net Swooning "How many fingers am I holding up?"


There was a new voice, joining the cacophony in Crosshair's head. Unlike the others though, this one didn't sound accusing or disappointed.

He pried his eyes open to squint at the shadow above him. He caught a glimpse of a head, haloed by the sunlight.

"Cody?" That was impossible - actually, maybe it wasn't. If Hunter and Tech and Wrecker and Echo were here, Cody might as well be too.

"That's right, vod. Everything's going to be okay."

No, it wouldn't. He could feel himself drifting away. He wasn't going to make it.

"Sorry. Need to tell the others. Before I go."

He tried to stand up and tipped forward. Instead of hitting the ground though, Cody caught him.

Crosshair clung to his brother, afraid that he would vanish if he let go.

"You're not going anywhere, Crosshair. At least not without me."

He laughed, more than a little hysterical.

"We're both dead then?"

Cody put his hand on the back of his head.

"Not yet, vod'ika."

His eyes slipped closed. Cody was here; he was safe.
