Mike allowed his thoughts to drift back to Harvey's office back at Pearson Hardman, trying to imagine what Harvey could be doing right now. There was no way his boss had taken time off from work to look for him, but Reid had said that it was thanks to him and Donna that they knew where to find him. Maybe Harvey would be pacing his office, or staring out the window at his spectacular view, eyes unseeing. Donna would be standing behind him, cell phone clutched in one hand while she waited for someone to call with news on Mike. They'd be silent, knowing there was nothing more they could do now that they'd found the bastard who'd taken Mike and put the best people available for the job on his tail.

When the call finally came, Harvey would look at Donna and see in her eyes the good news - or maybe it would be bad news. Maybe they'd be devastated, all their efforts to rescue him coming to nothing but someone recovering his lifeless body. God, what would it do to his Grams?

Shouting disrupted his daydream, and he shrank back in fear at the sound of pounding feet racing towards them. The door burst open and their host appeared in the doorway, hair a mess and suit torn, bleeding sluggishly from a cut on his temple. The host turned furious eyes on the doctor, seeming to grow ever larger as he stalked forward to tower over him.

“How did they find me? What the hell did you do?” he shouted. Reid recoiled in disgust at the spittle hitting his face, enraging the man more. He dealt Reid a vicious blow across the mouth, busting his lip, but Reid turned his head back to face him in defiance.

“I didn't have to do anything. You're sloppy, you led us right to you,” he said, and the man pulled his arm back to strike him again. The sound of a hammer cocking froze him for a moment. Mike shivered in fear, his chains jangling, and the man's face contorted into a mask of fury. He grabbed for Reid, trying to finish the blow, but a gunshot rang out from the doorway, the bullet catching him high in the shoulder.

The host cried out in pain and clutched at his back, falling to his knees, and Mike's vision grayed as people came pouring through the door. In the midst of the confusion he caught bulletproof vests emblazoned with FBI, men dressed in SWAT uniforms bearing intimidating guns, and paramedics swarming to those who were injured. He couldn't clearly recall anything that happened or how his chains came off, his memory was a big blurred nothing until he was seated on the back of an ambulance clutching at a blanket and he looked up to see Harvey running towards him.

Mike stood on quivering legs and stumbled forward, ignoring the paramedic telling him he really needed to sit back down, to throw himself into Harvey's arms. They clamped tight around him, making his back throb in agony, but he didn't care because they were safe and warm and Harvey. The tears started falling then, and he couldn't bring himself to be ashamed, too relieved that he'd been told the truth and he was really free. Harvey didn't say a word, clinging to him with all his might like he thought Mike would disappear if he let up for even a second, tell-tale dampth spreading on Mike's own shoulder.

They stayed like that for what felt like hours, propping each other up and reveling in being close like they never thought they would be again, until Mike was so exhausted that his legs buckled. Harvey caught him and called for a paramedic, and with their help dragged Mike back to the ambulance. Once Mike was seated he stared up at Harvey, drinking in the sight of his open, exuberant expression, unable to look away even to acknowledge Donna. It didn't seem to bother her any; she bustled past Harvey to drop a kiss on Mike's cheek and sit next to him with an arm lightly around his back, a comforting presence against his side.

Harvey cupped Mike's cheek in his hand and stroked it gently with his thumb before his attention was caught by an approaching pair of men, one of them wrapped in a blanket to match Mike's. He tilted his head in gesture of respect and stepped back to stand beside Mike, hand a bright patch of warmth on Mike's nape.

Reid smirked cheekily at Mike, and his companion, a handsome dark-skinned man, rolled his eyes.

“I told you so,” Reid said, and Mike cleared his throat.

“So you did,” he answered, never more glad to hear that obnoxious phrase. He held out one shaking hand, and Reid clasped it in his with no hesitation.

“Maybe we could talk again once you're feeling better,” he offered, and Mike gave a real smile. At least something good might come out of this whole ordeal. Well, maybe two. He met Harvey's warm eyes and gripped his free hand.

“I'd like that.”

Yet some, who all this while did weep and sing,
And sing, and weep, soar'd up into the ring;
But most would use no wing.
O fools (said I) thus to prefer dark night
Before true light,
To live in grots and caves, and hate the day
Because it shews the way,
The way, which from this dead and dark abode
Leads up to God,
A way where you might tread the sun, and be
More bright than he.

Side note: I want to change that to, Well, maybe two things. Durn it.

THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!

I don't think I can love you any more than I already do right now, but that may be amended when I reread this, oh, a million times. Every facet of this felt completely natural. I love crossovers, but there isn't always a smooth transition between both fandoms, which there was here. I could easily envision Reid and Mike's conversation taking place and THE END, OMG, THE END! If you ever want to do a sequel, I won't be opposed in the slightest. ;)

You realize all you have to say is the word sequel, and all of a sudden I'm envisioning Mike all shrink-ed up and calling Spencer only to find out the poor guy's on crutches, again, and oh would you like to come stay here in NYC and see the sights? And then Reid and Spencer get up to all sorts of (not-so) nefarious shenanigans, much to Harvey's eternal chagrin. Or Mike waiting awkwardly in the BAU because his shrink told him that he needed to go say hi to his rescuer/co-captive/whatever, and Harvey thought it was a Good Idea, but Mike wanted to go alone so Harvey's waiting back at the hotel.

Your reaction left such a smile on my face! X3 Thank you!

Re: The World : CM/Suits x-over : H/C

[ladyknightanka]

That's exactly what I was going for! Yes, it's a little mean to worm sequels out of people, but I'm shameless and, Chuck almighty, that sounds amazing! DO WANT these to become a reality! Thank you again so much, bb! *hugs*

Re: The World : CM/Suits x-over : H/C

It's okay, I need the tough love. :D Added to my 5Acts file! *hugs*

I will eagerly await that, lol. And I should get to yours today or tomorrow, since my school week is finally over! *dances*
