Re: Derek/John
John kissed Brian with a quiet, teasing 'go be useful', then turned his attention to his uncle. No matter what Derek said, he wasn't fine. People who were fine didn't have episodes where they thought they were someplace else and shot their teammates by mistake. "Me?" John snorted. "I am actually fine. You're the one I'm worried about. And, no, I'm not buying the 'fine' anymore than Marty does. 'Fucked up as you've always been' doesn't usually lead to you thinking you're back there."
He wasn't truly worried about Derek leaving him. He'd needed to get Derek back in the present and had appealed to his protective instincts where family was concerned. What John worried about was the fact Derek was so damaged to begin with...and thought it normal. Moving to sit cross-legged on the bed, John set the guns aside. He knew Derek wouldn't should him. But, until he understood what had happened, they couldn't count on anyone else's safety. "So, talk to me. What happened? What you remember, not what really happened."
