John had just wrapped up work for the day, and it was still early: barely after lunchtime. John decided he might as well go pay Alec a visit. He had been thinking a fair bit about his almost-clone. Alec was quite entertaining, and he didn't have to explain things to him, it was brilliant. He thought that maybe they could take a trip out to Cardiff

For the whole day, Alec had felt something in the pit of his stomach, like something terrible was going to happen, or that something had happened already, he just didn't know what. He had a few auditions today, so that was why he had been busy, and hadn't been able to really have a moment of free time. Meetings and such weren't things that Alec liked, he just wanted to go home now at the end of a long day and curl up next to his boyfriend and puppy

John only managed to knock once before he heard it: crying, well more like sobbing coming from inside. His immediate reaction was fear, something was very wrong, and in John's life when something was wrong it usually meant someone was dead. He sucked in a breath and turned the knob of the door, mentally preparing for some horrific scene.

He saw no body, no blood: but the scene before him was almost worse. The carnage he had grown accustomed to, usually they were unknowns, this... this was different. Alec was curled up on the floor just sobbing. John immediately went to him, dropped to his knees and hugged Alec.

"shh, shh" he whispered "I'm here."

Shaking and shivering, Alec hugged his own small frame, and he could faintly hear Amber making small whimpers beside him, though everything just felt muffled - in the distance. He barely even felt when the other man had come inside and held him, his sobs becoming lost to even him. His face was wet with his tears, his eyes swollen and red, he could feel a large knot in his chest that wouldn't go away.

"Erik?" he breathed, looking up and expecting his boyfriend, but he was met with a very familiar face, one that was his own. For a moment, he didn't know if he was going crazy, but then he remembered - John. With a pained expression, he wrapped his arms around the other man and hugged him tightly, shivering into his chest.

He rubbed fingers softly across Alec's back. He had no real idea who Erik was, but using his super sense of deduction he was gussing the sobbing was about this Erik.

"What happened?" he said softly still practically cradling Alec.
