Summary: Everyone's waiting to see how things turn out. Another post-"Knockout" fic.
Beckett’s not allowed visitors yet. She’s fresh out of surgery and her doctors are being vague. Everyone's waiting anxiously in their best funeral clothes, and the sight’s more than a little eerie.
That doesn’t mean that Beckett’s alone. Captain Montgomery stands unseen at her side, ordering her to fight. There’s someone else here, too, comforting her, hidden behind veils he can’t quite see through. But he's not stupid. He knows who it is.
The woman's telling Beckett not to be in such a hurry to get killed with so much living left to do. It's okay. She doesn’t mind waiting.
