    Summary

    He took a couple more steps, then crouched down. Because improbably, distressingly, the hand he could see was very, very small. Too small to be in a place like this. “Hello?” he called out softly, even as he stuck his gun at his back. Half of his body still thrummed with the need to find his husband, but if there was- but there was a child here, and he couldn’t just leave that be.

    “Oh, what the fuck,” he heard Andy murmur as a head and one shoulder joined the hand, peeking around the side of the table. It was a boy, very young, maybe- it was still too dark to get a good look or see any distinguishing features- maybe just out of toddler years, four or five. Why on earth was there a child here?

    There isn't much left on this earth, after thousands of years, that they haven't experienced in one form or another. They learn, they adapt, they get through it, they keep going. Always will. But this?

    This is new.

    Summary

    "He’s felt his heart stop many, many times over the years, is far more intimately acquainted with the sensation than any human being should be, but it has never, ever felt like this."

    In which Merrick does the one thing you should never, EVER do: separate Joe and Nicky.

    Summary

    "Significant pulmonary contusion and multiple rib fractures, and there's very likely a subdural hematoma in there too,” Garcia says grimly, sounding like she's citing it to herself rather than to anyone else in the room. “We’re lucky it's most probably small, but given her fluctuating GCS it still concerns me quite a bit. Also, besides the shard of metal, the bruising and swelling along her abdomen suggests the possibility of internal bleeding as well, but we need to get in the OR to fully evaluate the severity of it."

    “Jesus King,” he murmurs. “You were supposed to have the day off.”

     

    or: there's a car accident on mel's day off. she ends up at the pitt anyways.
