Summary: Drabble 33 of the series The Unraveling Thread. Will and Bootstrap talk
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will blinked in confusion. Had he been asleep? He looked up, at the man who had caught him as he fell. “Father, what…”
Bootstrap pulled him close. “Will! Thank God!”
Will was suddenly aware that they were both completely human. “But… I had nine more months then you did!”
“Not anymore” Bootstrap said. “You’re free.”
Will looked over his father’s shoulder, at the Captain. “But what about you?”
Bootstrap sighed. “I’ll see you again. In nine months.”
Will’s jaw dropped. “Father… but you can’t!”
In the end, though, Will could only watch as the Dutchman took his father’s mind again.
