Title: Waiting for revenge
Characters: Maggie Greene
Wordcount: 200
Challenge: There's always tomorrow
Finished: February 2018

:::

Maggie felt so tired but was too afraid to close her eyes. She knew the nightmares would come.

All day long, she tried to be strong. She didn't want any pity or consideration. Because she knew well enough that she would break down when she allowed herself even the tiniest bit of weakness.

There's always a tomorrow, Glen had told her so often when all she wanted was to curl up and die. Then he held her in his arms for hours, whispering soft words. Until she finally started to hope again.

But Glen was gone. He would never hold her again. She would never hear him laughing again; they would never make love again.

The Walkers were an always present danger in their lives, and Maggi had often secretly worried about Glen. He could be so daring sometimes. But how unfair was it that he finally died at the hands of another guy? The most absurd dead she could imagine, and every night anew, she lived through it, again and again.

Only the burning hate inside her made her move on. There was always a tomorrow. And if not today, maybe tomorrow she would get the chance for her revenge.

Title: Comfort
Characters: Patterson, Jane Doe
Words: 100
Rating: PG13
Challenge: Alone
Finished: May 2017

:::

Patterson noticed the sadness in Jane's eyes and didn't need to ask for the reason. Again the young woman had hoped to find out more about her past; again the answer to the riddle just had raised even more questions. So hard to imagine how alone she had felt since the day she had been found at Times Square, without memories, naked, covered with strange tattoos.

Later, Patterson couldn't say what had gotten into her, but at this moment, it felt like the only thing she could do to offer at least some comfort. She bent forward and kissed her.

Title: Peace of mind
Characters: Agent Patterson, mention of Jane Doe
Rating: PG
Words: 200
Challenge: Peace of mind
Finished: May 2017

:::

When the team left the laboratory in a hurry, Agent Patterson leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes. Only some minutes of rest before she would go back to her task.

The last tattoo she had decrypted only one hour ago. A spread eagle, a moon, and some hieroglyphs whose meaning had been a pretty nice challenge. Finding the solution had cost her almost two days without much sleep.

It's not the first time that this happened. Since Jane had appeared from close to scratch, without any memory of her past, every part of her body covered with mysterious tattoos, she didn't get much sleep anymore. From the very first moment, she felt attracted to the young woman. Despite her strange situation being so strong, she moved on without complaining. Wildly resolved to find out the truth, no matter the consequences.

Only sometimes, the shell she had built up around her got some cracks, and uneasiness and sadness were sparkling in her eyes.

Then Carol wished she could give her back her peace of mind to make her smile again. But all she could do was to do her job as best as possible.

Title: Fighting the loneliness
Character: Zeke Tyler, Casey Connor
Word Count: 200
Prompt: same old story
Finished: 15.02.2023

Note: slightly AU because I guess the boys are already going to college in this story

:::

He felt like an idiot. Annoyed about himself, Zeke stared at the message on his cellphone. Of course, they wouldn't come home. It was always the same old story. They made promises, and they reneged them. What did they care that it was his 21st birthday? They had never cared about any birthday, neither about holidays or his graduation from highschool.

So, why did it still hurt? Why did he still hope that one day things would change? That his parents finally would show him at least some love?

He looked up when footsteps came closer. Casey Connor, cute boy, but a tiny bit too geeky. No one he wanted to hang around with. On the other hand... „Hey, Connor. Any plans for the weekend?“

„Me?!“ The boy looked surprised. „Dunno. Maybe a short trip to Akron. The photo exhibition at the Art Museum sounds very interesting. Modern...“

„Or,“ Zeke interrupted him, „you do some clubbing tonight. There is this new nightclub in Columbus, the LUX. Ever checked it out?“

„No!“ Casey laughed, slightly embarrassed. „I guess I'm not a guy for clubbing.“

Zeke couldn't hide his grin. „Then it's about time to change your mind.“

Title: I'm sorry
Character: Jim Street, Chris(tina) Alonso
Word Count: 200
Prompt: it's about time
Finished: 03.02.2023

:::

Street stuffed the last clothes into his backpack when Chris entered the locker room. „Hey,“ she murmured.

He turned around with wild sparkling eyes. „Thank you for stabbing me in the back!“

She swallowed; the last she had wanted was to bring him into trouble; to be honest, she liked Street, even though he sometimes acted like a highschool student, not like a team member of the S.W.A.T. But this time... „Hondo asked me.“

„And, of course, you had to tell him the truth.“

„He is my boss. He is our boss. Why did you lie to him?“

„Because I don't need a babysitter. He would only have told me that my mom is only using me again. But this is non of his business.“

Chris kept quiet for a moment. „Maybe it's about time to grow up. This is not the police academy anymore; it's about surviving the everyday madness on the roads of Los Angeles.

Everything you do is Hondo's business because he's responsible for the team. We have to rely on each other at any time. Someone constantly overstepping the lines might bring us into danger one day.“

She paused, sighing slightly. „I'm sorry!“
