Hey doll, I'm in a really bad headspace. Can you come home?

[The fact that he's reaching out to her like this should indicate just how bad it is right now. He's made so much progress and he's trying damn hard not to backtrack]

[workswithchildren]

I'm coming.

[Diana may not move as fast as a speedster but she pours on the speed, returning home in a rush of air, throwing open the door. Mick isn't one to ask for help, not unless it was dire.]

Mick?

[beer_and_fire]

[Mick is sitting in the bedroom on the floor, back against the wall. An unopened fifth of whiskey in front of him and he's staring at it like it might hold all of the answers to the universe. His shirt sleeves are a little singed indicating he'd recently lit something on fire.]



Helen is with Lenny. [He hasn't even looked over at her. Just keeps staring at the bottle]

[workswithchildren]

[Diana kneels in front of him, putting the whiskey out of sight. She can smell the singe and smoke on his clothes.

Oh Mick.
He's taken all of his friend's losses to heart and it breaks Diana's to see him like this. So she takes his hands, squeezing them firmly.]

I'm right here.

[Mick slowly reaches out and pulls her down across his lap so he can bury his face in her neck. It hurts so deeply seeing Bucky and Lenny and Barry and Mercy in so much pain. Even Savitar is sad even if he doesn't see the young man often. And there's nothing he can do to help them.]

If something happens and you leave me, I want you ta know I'll be alright. Okay. It might take a few days but I promise I'll be okay. I wont shut down like Lenny did. But god I hope you never leave.

[workswithchildren]

[She goes where she's needed, wrapping her arms around her husband and holding him close. A kiss to his shoulder.]

I would hope that you would take the Hopper to bring me home. I will always fight for you Mick. You have the biggest and kindest heart of anyone I have ever known. You care so deeply for the people you love.

[beer_and_fire]

Well. Yeah. Of course I’d go looking. But if I couldn’t find ya. Well. I love you. So much.

[workswithchildren]

I love you too Mick, I love you so much. And I would never stop fighting to find my way home to you.

[beer_and_fire]

[He just holds her close and relaxes. She never fails to pull him out of his head when it gets really bad.]

Ramon fluxed home.

[workswithchildren]

Cisco? Oh no. [A soft, sad sound as she gathers Mick closer. Her friend was gone.] What about Barry and the children?

[beer_and_fire]

Barry is upset, but I think him and his brother got a plan on how to get him back if he don't return on his own. Not real sure.

I just...Diana I held for almost an hour while he cried.

[workswithchildren]

Because you are a good friend, Mick. Barry and Cisco are in love. Naturally he would grieve and worry for him.

[Mick nods and just lets out a long sigh]
