Just a little mini-series. This first part is based on the return. Read and you'll understand. ((Assuming he doesn't die)) Ignore her. Becca has no clue what she's talking about.
He knocked softly on her door, coração beating quickly. It had been a little over an hora since he and his partner had returned to the base. She hadn't come out during that time, and he really wanted to see her. But he had forced himself to politely answer perguntas and talk to those that greeted the two when they had returned. Now he had finally managed to slip away and anticipated her reaction. He knocked a little louder on her door. No answer. He waited a few anxious minutos before opening the door. The room was emptied and dark. Only a few of her old trinkets indicated to this having been her bedroom. A thin layer of dust covered the floor and a few of the bigger pieces of furniture.
His coração sank to his feet and he entered the room. His footsteps seemed to echo in the room as he shuffled to the desk. The few things there were trinkets. A small key on a necklace, a few stones she had received from Cat, and a very tiny música box. He smiled slightly. The música box reminded him of the one from some movie she had forced him to watch with her. They had never finished the movie, but she had told him the ending. He picked up the cold box and just held it.
“Not what you were expecting to see, was it?”
He turned his head. Devin stood in the doorway, a faint glow casting shadows in the room. He turned back to the little box and nodded.
“Where did she go?”
“With Becca.”
“Why did she leave?”
Devin stepped into the room. She took the box from his hand and sat on the bed. He sat seguinte to her when she patted the spot beside her.
“Do you know how Tara feels about you, Alek?”
“I believe she loves me.”
“Does that mean she's told you how she feels?”
He nodded, playing with the colar he had subconsciously picked up. Devin opened the música box and Tara's favorito tune started to play. He could almost hear her voice cantar the lyrics. Can you turn my black rosas red? Drowning in my loneliness. How long must I hold my breath?
“I know you never meant this to happen, but...do you know how you felt being away from her for so long?”
He nodded again, remembering the pain and emptiness as fresh as that first day.
“Just imagine how much mais it affected her.”
Alek looked up into the angel's face. Devin's composure was calm, but her eyes wore a pained look, as if it was Devin who had been the one in pain the time he was gone.
“You were the first male she ever trusted. She had been hurt por so many, even Ciel at some point. She took a big risk trusting you. And your absence almost killed her.”
Alek swallowed, tears forming in his eyes.
“H-how do you know? How do you understand?”
“Before I was married to him, I had some...competition getting Fang. He was the amor of my life. Still is. But the period of time we weren't together, when I didn't know he loved me, it almost killed me too. But since I can't really die, I almost went insane.”
“What happened?”
“Becca intervened. She is a warrior, but she has a good heart. She kept me sane until Fang told me he loved me. I don't say these things to guilt you, Alek. I say them so you know what you are up against.”
He knocked softly on her door, coração beating quickly. It had been a little over an hora since he and his partner had returned to the base. She hadn't come out during that time, and he really wanted to see her. But he had forced himself to politely answer perguntas and talk to those that greeted the two when they had returned.

"So you're just going to let him leave to D.C.?" Lexi stared at her older brother.
"Yup."
"You're stupid! That's crazy you idiot! He'll get himself killed!"
"No he won't."
"Yes he will Jaime! He'll kill the President, be banned from the Military and THEN die!" Lexi folded her arms across her chest.
"He won't kill the President Lexi, stop daydreaming."
"Then you obviously don't know him."
"Actually I do, but you don't. Dad is going to D.C. for a meeting with House of Representatives, and the President to talk about what was stolen from the Navy." Jaime put his hands in his pockets, staring and his little sister.
"And what makes you think he won't go crazy?"
"Nudge will keep him under control. Trust me." Lexi almost dropped the phone that was in her hand.
"Nudge? I thought she retired."
"Nope, and Jack will be with her. Things will be fine." Jaime opened his wings an soared upwards. "You coming início or what?" Lexi sighed and followed him.
"Yeah."
"Yup."
"You're stupid! That's crazy you idiot! He'll get himself killed!"
"No he won't."
"Yes he will Jaime! He'll kill the President, be banned from the Military and THEN die!" Lexi folded her arms across her chest.

"Yeah."
"I'm trying to find a present for Holly, but have no idea—hey!"
"Uh-oh." Barbara said. "No."
"C'mon, Babs!"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I'm a fiery red-head, azevinho, holly is a sexy blonde."
Sam smirked. "You find azevinho, holly sexy?" he asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.
Barbara's blue eyes widened. "I mean, you see her as—that is to say that from the male perspective—"
Sam nodded in a "go ahead" gesture, but the Gothamite just glared at him.
"Go to hell, Grant."
"Someone's not happy."
Barbara hid her face behind the magazine.
"Uh-oh." Barbara said. "No."
"C'mon, Babs!"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I'm a fiery red-head, azevinho, holly is a sexy blonde."
