    Summary

    He feels weightless for a second when his truck flips over, and for some inexplicable reason, he thinks back to when he was a kid. Whenever someone asked him what superpower he wanted if he could have any one, he always said flying. Flying didn’t end up being that fun, though. Not in a shot down helicopter, and certainly not in an overturning vehicle. He meant flying, like, in the sky and maybe with a cool pair of wings, but he never really gets what he wants. He gets what he wants but a little off-kilter, maybe 50% of what he was hoping for with some significant changes.

    It’s getting a little funny.

    Eddie tries to go to Texas. What do you get when you cross a man and an eighteen-wheeler truck?

    Summary

    He completely pulls the charger from the wall as he fumbles to put in his passcode. He doesn’t know who to call first. Everyone is busy, carrying on with their lives and Buck is stuck here in the loft with the terrifying ghost of his childhood like an omen. Out of the corner of his eye he catches the Crooked Smiled Man now standing in the dark entrance way to his bathroom. He swallows around the taste of blood in his mouth, hands shaking, useless as his list of contacts blur beneath the burn of tears.

     

    Eddie Eddie Eddie

     

    He doesn’t know where the feeling comes from, but it’s sudden and sharp and excruciating. Eddie is the first name at the top of his list, his most recent calls and texts, and he doesn’t hesitate to hit the call button.

    Summary

    Something about the new guy irked Eddie. Something familiar about him that Eddie couldn’t place. He was an enigma, secrets hidden in that blank stare. Who was this mysterious man, and where did he learn to do those things? Where had Eddie seen him before?

    “You can have my back any day,” Eddie offered, silently willing Buck to read between the lines and hear Eddie really saying that he knew. That Eddie wanted to trust him.

    Bobby returned before Buck could reply. “Nice work, fellas. Glad you both made it out of there.”
     
    “Guy’s a professional, sir. Was never really worried,” Buck smiled.
     
    He could see Bobby about to nag Buck about the honorifics when the grenade detonated, still in the ambulance. Bobby startled and whirled around to face the explosion. Eddie had barely flinched, but Buck hadn’t so much as twitched - just watched the wreckage burn with a far off look in his eyes.

     
    In which Buck joined the 118 after transferring to the Navy Reserves and struggled with becoming a civilian. Eddie showed him how to feel worthy again.
