Nothing moves around him. Like the question put the world on pause. The darkness Doc carried… He hid it well on most days. Sometimes Lightning would see it though. The pain, the guilt, the fear. Doc would look at Lightning like he was something amazing, something better than himself. He would never talk about it, not really. Not often at least. But Lightning always knew it was there. Could see it in Doc’s face, in his words. In the long nights where the man would sit alone outside and smoke a cigarette and stare off into the distance.
Saw it in Doc’s apologies. The way he would never look Lightning in the eyes as he apologized, hunched over in shame as he told Lightning it was him that called the press, all those years ago. So long ago, like it was another lifetime.
Did Doc struggle with the same things Lightning feels himself struggling with now?
One upon a time Lightning might’ve answered no, of course not. Doc always had the answers. How could a man like that fall short of anything?
But he’s grown enough now. He can see it in his memories. The mistakes, the hesitation. Doc wasn’t a perfect man. But in a way, he was perfect for Lightning. He was what he needed, flaws and all.
He can only hope…
Lightning lays a hand on the warm stone. “Help me help her,” he asks. He doesn’t know if he’s asking a ghost, or sending a prayer to the great beyond, or just talking to a rock, but he tries anyways. “Please.”
