Summary
Still off balance, Buck slams his left heel onto the roof, heaving forward to catch the collar of that yellow shirt. And there’s no conscious decision making here. It’s all instinct, and he’s grateful for it. If he’d given his overzealous mind the chance to consider another way, he would have missed his shot. Instead, his arms hurl the boy into the hands of another survivor...
And his right foot misses the edge.
OR
Buck catches Chris before he rolls off the firetruck, and it's him who falls back into the retreating waters of the tsunami. Unconscious and seriously injured, he's unaware that his team has been searching for him, never giving up as the days pass.

Summary
Gibbs had promised that he was doing what he could to get Tony off the USS Sea Hawk, but Tony had given up hoping for that miracle barely a week after he’d been assigned. He had been an investigator for too long not to know that, even though he hadn’t gotten to the bottom of the corrupt, rotting and maggot-ridden chest of secrets, buried somewhere in the ships entrails, he wouldn’t be getting off the ship alive. Already under constant watch, with every communication monitored, and subjected to horrific harassment and very obvious but unspoken death threats, when the announcement is made that the Sea Hawk would be docking for refitting and shore leave, Tony suspected that he would be ‘sleeping with the fish’ by midnight.

Summary
Jason is used to the pain – vigilante life isn’t easy on the body – so he’s well practiced in accommodating bad days. His first knocks-him-on-his-ass migraine though? Definitely not prepared for that.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Oh,” the kid says, head turning to look back at the bathroom. “It’s fine. I’ve got it figured out.”
Dick’s face pulls to a pinched expression, shaking his head slowly. “As much as I’d love to believe you, I can’t. That stuff can’t just be emptied down the drain.”
The kid’s own face scrunches this time. “Why not?”
Jason has a feeling this kid doesn’t remember quite as much of his experience in the pit as Jason did himself. With a sudden jolt, Jason realizes this kid might not know he’s dead.
Great.

Summary
Hen's hands are shaking, her mouth slightly parted as she watches them bring Eddie back. She hears so many different words – shock and electrocution and burns on hands and cardiac arrest – but she doesn’t need to hear any of them to know.
She knows that Eddie would prioritize Buck over himself, always, even if he, too, had been struck by lightning.
Because Eddie was on the ladder, too. And lightning always strikes twice.
