Liam smiled.

Alicia closed her door.

Halo went into his bathroom and got changed, scribbling a not for Lena as he cooked a quick breakfast.

[Caroline Berry]

Alicia woke up first and went to the kitchen in small shorts and a tank top.

Lena bolted up in the bed with scream. Her eyes were wide and her skin was pale.

Liam smiled. "On more surprise."

[feathertail]

Halo pulled breakfast off the cooker and hurried in to Lena at the scream. "Lena?"

[Caroline Berry]

She had her head in her hands and her knees against her chest. "Don't shoot...don't shoot, don't shoot, don't shoot..." she muttered.

[feathertail]

"Hey." Halo stepped forward slowly, reaching out to stroke her back. "Lena, it's okay, I'm here."

[Caroline Berry]

Lena slowly relaxed, very slowly.

[feathertail]

"Come on, you've only had a couple of hours of sleep." Halo continued speaking in a low tone.

[Logan Henderson]

Justin knocked on the door of Emma's apartment.

[Caroline Berry]

"Sh-shooting." Lena mumbled.

[feathertail]

Halo continued to soothe her. He was trying not to hurry, but he had to get to work.

[Caroline Berry]

She calmed down eventually and sat, staring at the wall.

[feathertail]

"Try and get some more sleep, okay?" Halo smiled and hurried back to the kitchen.

[Caroline Berry]

Lena crawled back into the bed, staring at the wall with wide eyes.

[feathertail]

Halo grabbed his jacket and his half of the pancakes, leaving Lena's under foil to keep them warm and with a note. He left the spare key on the aaide next to them and locked the door behind him.

[Caroline Berry]

Lena heard him leave and sighed shakily. She got up and went to the kitchen. She ate the pancakes and looked around.

[feathertail]

The place was pretty tidy, but that was probably only because Halo didn't spend much time in it.

[Caroline Berry]

She felt lonely. Something hadn't felt since she reunited with Halo, but the sense of lonliness was overwhelming.

[feathertail]

Halo got into the car at the bottom of the apartment block's stairs and was driven away, mouth full of pancake, glad he'd left his number on the note in case Lena wanted to contact him.

[Caroline Berry]

Lena saw the note and smiled softly. She went to her bag and pulled out a disk. She popped it in the DVD player and watched as it came on. The camera was focused on Liam, Halo and Lena. She watched as the joked around and talked.

[feathertail]

Halo got to work just as he finished his pancakes and hurried into make-up and prosthetics.
