emma, wyatt, bau & co
With Liam away on vacation, Emma was the lead agent in charge. Liam was due back in the morning, well, not back to work but back home. When Brie had started to get direct threats, Emma thought it best to put her in protective custody. Mick insisted she be assigned with the other agents to keep an eye on the woman, and Emma had agreed to it. But now that Brie was under lock and key, the man stalking her and killing prostitutes in her name was getting angrier. He'd slipped up, finally. He'd left a print at the last scene, and he was in the system. They'd gone to his house to apprehend him, but he wasn't there. Instead, there were clues as to who he'd be after next, and a location. An abandoned warehouse. Emma and Wyatt were enroute to his apartment when Micah had called to tell them that Kyle Pratt wasn't there, and that he might be at the warehouse location. She and Wyatt were closer, so they went ahead, thinking a woman's life was in danger.

When they got there, Emma took the lead, her gun in hand. She could hear noises, though she wasn't sure what they were. The others would be there soon with backup, but for now she was focused on hopfully saving the woman she assumed Pratt had.

Immediately Liam started to think about the practical things: notification of family, the reports that would need to be filed, possible investigations, the service--it caused a long silence on the phone as his brain kicked in to administrative overdrive.

But it was just to protect him from the shock and the jab of pain that had stabbed right into his chest. Maybe if he could just surround himself with the ritual of leadership, and paperwork, and protocol, he could survive the sudden and overwhelming feeling that this was his fault and that Emma was dead.

And still the silence rolled on before he finally let out a sound. It wasn't a sob, or a moan, or anything but a sharp exhale of breath. Then a word. "Oh." And another long pause. "How?"

If Mick hadn't known Liam so well, she might have lashed out at him. She rubbed her hand against her face and let out a quiet, shaky breath.

"I'm not even entirely sure yet. We had Brie in protective custody, Micah and Beckett went to Pratt's place with some agents and Wyatt and Emma were enroute. Pratt wasn't there, but indicated he had someone else at another location. Emma and Wyatt went there, they were both shot. Wyatt's in surgery now but they think he should be all right."

One dead, one injured. Liam stacked up his defenses as high as they would go to keep out the impending tidal wave of emotion. He sat down on the couch, glad it was right behind him because otherwise he may have gone on the floor.

"Is Pratt in custody?" He could only hope that the sacrifice hadn't been for nothing. "Is the victim safe?" He knew those were the questions Emma would want asked.

"Wyatt had to shoot him, he's dead," Mick said quietly. "There wasn't a victim. It was a ploy, we're thinking to get one of us as a hostage so he could demand that we give Brie to him," she added.

The idea that this all had been for nothing... That they'd been tricked? And now one of them was dead, another injured? It was horrible. It made Mick feel so sick inside that it was difficult to keep the urge to vomit at bay.

Liam sighed. The situation just kept getting worse. "I'll call Chancellor and be over as soon as I can." He wanted to be with his team right now and he wanted to be the one to tell Chancellor. It was secretly selfish because Chancellor was the only team member he was able to be weak in front of. Maybe the only person. He wanted to be strong for everyone else.

When he hung up, he called for Reagan, needing to let him know what was going on and why he'd be gone for a bit.

Reagan had been downstairs painting, but when he heard Liam call for him he wiped his hands clean and headed up the main floor. He could tell just by the sound of his husband's voice that something was wrong, and when he came into the living room worry showed on his face.

"What is it? You all right?" he asked as he went over to where Liam was sitting so that he could sit down, too.

He couldn't break down because he was worried if he started that he wouldn't be able to pull himself back together in order to be there for his team. But as soon as Reagan was within reach, he took his hand and pulled it up to his mouth so he could kiss his palm and then he held on to it in silence for a moment or two. He couldn't bring himself to speak just yet.

After a bit, he swallowed and spoke the words. "Emma and Wyatt went out on a call. They were searching for a victim and an unsub. Wyatt was shot. Injured. Emma was shot also and she was killed." His words came out so clinical and Liam felt a pang of guilt for that ability. His face twisted a little though and he looked away from Reagan.

Regan's brow furrowed in concern, and once Liam finally got the words out his face crumbled a bit. Liam was trying to be strong, Reagan could see that and he knew why, but that didn't stop him from reaching out to pull his husband into a tight hug.

"Oh, Liam, I'm so sorry," he said softly. He didn't know what else to say. There was nothing else to say. "Is - is Wyatt going to be all right?"

They leaned on each other. Their marriage wouldn't work if Liam wasn't able to abandon at least some of his need to protect and control the situation away sometimes. But right now, he really wanted to be strong. The embrace, however, was making that hard, especially when he found himself clinging back.

"Yes. They say he'll be all right." Though all right was certainly a relative term in this scenario. He tipped his head so that he could bury his face in Reagan's neck.

Reagan dipped his head down and pressed his mouth against the top of Liam's shoulder as he held onto him. He wanted to keep a hold of him, but he knew he'd have to let go so that Liam could go and do the things that needed to be done.

"You should go see him, Emma'd want you to," he said quietly before he turned his head to brush a kiss to Liam's cheek. "Do you want me to go with you?"

when Wyatt was brought in for his gunshot wound. We thought it'd be cute if the two of them recovered together for a day or two. I had Micah sleeping in Wyatt's room that first night because I figured Wyatt would ask him to stay. Is that okay?]

Liam loved the urge he felt in Reagan to keep hold of him. He didn't want to be let go just yet and he knew the man would do so at just the right time. He always knew exactly when.

"I called Chancellor. I'm going to pick him up to go down to the hospital. I'll be okay for tonight. Will you be all right on your own for a bit? I'll be back before morning. And then after I sleep a bit, maybe we can go back to the hospital. I'm sure Wyatt will want to see you."

Since they'd been back, Reagan had been doing a lot better. He'd had two sessions with a therapist Kerri had reccommended, and he was feeling a little more confident in being left alone even through the night hours.

"I'll be all right," he said softly, "Don't worry about me," he added before he pulled back to brush a kiss against his husband's eyelids and then his lips. "I'll go with you tomorrow. I love you."

Part of Liam really wanted to just stay and hide. He could crawl into bed with Reagan and curl up against him.

"I love you so much," he exhaled, adoring the way Reagan kissed him like that. It would be impossible not to worry about him, but he knew he needed to do this first hospital visit with just the team.

Finally, he got up and headed out the door. He drove to Chancellor's to pick him up and then arrived at the hospital a little while later.

Once Liam arrived with Chancelor, everyone took some time to talk with him. Mick was quiet, though, too quiet and it was difficult to ignore. When Wyatt came out of surgery and once they got him into the recovery room, he was only allowed one visitor at a time and he asked for Micah first, so Micah headed back to the room they had his boyfriend in. Boyfriend. They hadn't ever really made things official, but that's what Wyatt was and Micah knew it.

Slipping into the room, he frowned in worry and went over to where Wyatt was. He reached out and took his hand to press a kiss to it.

"Hi," he said softly, not even sure if Wyatt was still awake.

Wyatt was drifting in and out of it, the medications they had him on strong enough to make him feel almost weightless. But when Micah come into focus, he really tried to keep with it and wake up.

"Micah," he exhaled and squeezed the man's hand as best as he could. He was so relieved to see him, make absolutely certain that the man was there and safe. What if there had been more traps? The world had suddenly become a very uncertain place for Wyatt and he was thankful that Micah was safe.

Micah lifted Wyatt's hand up to his lips to press a soft kiss against the back of it before he dipped his head down to do the same to the younger man's mouth.

"I'm right here, we're all here," he assured, "Liam and Chancellor are here, too. Outside with Mick, Beckett, and Jude's here too," he said. "How are you feeling?"

Wyatt let his eyes close, though he tried to keep alert, listening to Micah. "I'm okay," though it was only because he was really trying to keep himself from thinking too hard about what had happened. The very thought that Emma might be gone was just as difficult to deal with now as it had been when she lay dying in his arms.

"What about Emma? Is it--" official, he wanted to say, but he couldn't bring himself to make it sound like business.

Micah was well aware of the fact that he'd probably have to be the one to tell Wyatt about Emma, but knowing that hadn't prepared him. He half hoped Liam would be the one to do so, because Liam seemed so good at that sort of thing, but Micah knew it had to be him.

"She's gone," he said softly, "I'm sorry..." Because he knew how close Wyatt was to Emma. She was almost a big sister to him.

Wyatt was quiet for a very long time and for awhile, it seemed like he wasn't going to say anything at all for the rest of the night. He laid there, looking at the blank television set mounted on the wall in his room. It was an old tube-set and he could see himself and Micah reflected in its black surface.

"In 102 years of operation, the FBI has only had a little over 50 agents killed in the line of duty. The odds of Emma being killed are--" he shook his head. "The odds are stacked in our favor. Out of all of the FBI agents doing dangerous things on a daily basis, only 52 have died. 52. That's hardly any." And now Emma was one of them.

"Sometimes - just, sometimes things happen," Micah said softly with a frown. He dipped his head down and brushed a kiss against Wyatt's forehead, closing his eyes, squeezing them shut. "I wish that there was something I could do or say to make it better, but I know there's nothing."

"Things don't just happen," he shook his head. When Micah got close enough for Wyatt to grab, he clutched on to his clothes, curling his fingers in his shirt and practically dragging him into bed with him. He didn't care about the IV or his leg, he just wanted Micah closer.

Maybe he'd figure out a reason for Emma's death. He hoped to find some sort of mathematical or philosophical or scientific reason that made her death inevitable. If only it could make sense.

Micah pulled him in close and just held onto him tightly. He swallowed hard as his eyes welled up, and he dipped his head down so that he could press nose against the curve of Wyatt's neck. He hated thinking that he was lucky, lucky he still had Wyatt when they'd lost Emma. He felt incredibly guilty, but Wyatt meant so much more to him than Emma had.

"I'm so sorry," he whispered softly.

He hadn't completely broken down yet, just small pieces of him were falling away. The fullness of this situation probably wouldn't set in for awhile. All of the drugs in his head were making him groggy, unable to fully realize everything at once. That was probably a blessing.

Leaning back a little, he put his hand to his forehead. "What do they have me on? I tried to ask the nurse but she said I shouldn't worry my head about it. Doesn't she know I worry my head about all sorts of things?"

"Morphine, I assume," Micah said as he pulled back, and he couldn't help but smile a little at Wyatt's words. He wanted to break down and cry, but he swallowed back the urge and dipped his head down to press a soft kiss against Wyatt's lips. "I'm sure you'll make her well aware," he mumbled quietly.

"After I see the others, will you come back and stay with me?" He didn't know if that was asking too much and the expression on his face was sheepish, worried. He glanced at the chair where Micah would be sleeping and he made a little face because he knew it would probably be pretty uncomfortable.
