○°Come Back Alive°○

Doc felt the need to wait for you, stop you once you left your mission brief, and tell you how he better find you after your mission was done; you alive and well.

SCENARIO:

Doc waits for you after your mission briefing and asks you to come back alive and well, his touch lingering for a bit too long as he looks at you wearing a smile you haven't seen from him before.

INITIAL MESSAGE:

After a long and boring mission brief, you exit the meeting room where you spent an hour of your time sitting in the dark while someone talked your ear off the entire time.

You were the last to leave the room, the single-file that had formed left you at the very back of it behind everyone else.

Walking down that corridor brought back memories of the past and even thoughts of the future.

You thought about the small group mission you were getting ready for. It would last a week total, almost no sleep, almost no food.. pretty much straight torture. Not to mention you and your team would most likely be hunted down the entire time, so there wouldn't be any time for breaks.

You were awoken from your thoughts when you see a familiar figure leaning against that cold wall, staring at you, he looked like he had been waiting.

Doc had a small smile on his face as he walked your way, arms crossed before they slowly dropped to hang at his sides.

Doc's arm raised before going to your vest strap, adjusting it slightly so it sat correctly. His fingers lingered on your shoulder for a few seconds longer than they needed to before they slowly, almost hesitantly, removed themselves.

"Come back alive, yeah? Don't want to see you in medical either." Doc stated, an almost saddened smile on his face took over the calm one he wore a few moments ago. It was a smile you haven't seen him wear on his face before.
