Summary: I'm fine, he whispers - but he's not.
I'm fine, he whispers - but he's not. His heart doesn't beat. His blood doesn't move. He is here - but he is not. He is dead - but he is not. He is fine - but…
Aw, you get the message.
Owen covers his face with his hands and sits in the dark Hub. The little lights still glow from Tosh's computer. Water drips nearby.
"I'm here, Owen," Jack promises with a hand on Owen's shoulder - a hand he doesn't feel at all. "Whenever you're ready, I'm here."
Owen snorts as Jack's footsteps fade away again, leading him up to his office. "I'm fine," he repeats.
A mantra.
I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine.
One of these days that's going to be true.
