Summary
Cruz can’t help but notice some glaring omissions from Joe’s well-crafted extraction plan, because, well, stealth? She’s trained for. Extractions? She can pull off in her sleep. Navigating tunnels blind? That was a light day in black operations training! But where can she pick up the manual on how to look into the eyes of a woman she’s destroyed without crumbling under the shame of her betrayal? Where can she take courses in mending gaping fissures already stuffed with the heft of lies? Who can teach her how to be both flame and extinguisher without annihilating herself in the process?
It’s too much.
She can’t do this.
She doesn’t know how to do this.

Summary
“It will happen again.” Aaliyah says, finally. “It won’t be my father, but it will be someone’s father; and it will happen again.”
She doesn’t know what answer she’s looking for.
“I know,” Cruz nods. “But when it does, it won’t be me they send.”
(or Aaliyah tries to heal in New York after the events of 1x08 and Cruz shows up in just enough time to ruin it all.)

Summary
“The objective is extraction.” Joe tapped the ‘space’ button on the keyboard. “Namely, extraction of Aaliyah Amrohi.” A picture of the woman appeared, the very same one they used over a year ago, when inserting a lioness into her life. She didn’t have to look at her team to know they were surprised, to say the least. “Ms. Amrohi reached out to us - she’s willing to make a deal with the US government, but in order for her to do that, we first have to rescue her from a kidnapping attempt by her brothers.”
Four months after the fight in Iraq, after a headhunt for two nuclear physicists turned into a near-bloodbath, her team was finally healed up and ready for action once again.
And action, Joe presumed, was exactly what they were all gonna get, pursuing this case.
// or:
Aaliyah Amrohi becomes a target when it's revealed most of her father's wealth went to her. Her brothers want her dead. Joe wants a deal.
Cue, the Lioness team's newest mission - extract and protect Aaliyah Amrohi.
Cue, Cruz's world shattering around her when her first love comes back into her life.

Summary
“It doesn’t matter. Want to know why?” Aaliyah points at her, her voice hissing as she steps into her space, hostility rippling in the lines of her brow.
She pushes at Cruz’s chest repeatedly, her words in sync with every movement. “I don’t—" shove, “want you—" shove, “anymore,” shove.
Cruz takes her hits. She is solid, absorbing it all without budging. Her resoluteness breaks Aaliyah open like a dam, and everything she’s been holding back comes pouring out in tears. Her palms continue to connect with Cruz’s body, desperately trying to push it all back in.
“I don’t want you,” she spits out all at once, her eyes blazing. Cruz isn’t sure, at this point, which one of them she is trying to convince.
Cruz grabs her wrists the next time they fly toward her chest. She steps into the puddle Aaliyah’s hair has dripped onto the tiles, easing her until her back hits the counter of the sink. She guides her arms down and settles her wrists against the granite, feeling them tremble beneath her fingers.
“No? Then why are you so upset?”
OR
Years later, Cruz tracks Aaliyah down, only to find that she has moved on to someone else. Angst, tears, more tears, a triangle, and all the feelings ensue.
