DI Alec Hardy

Looking around with slightly wide eyes, Alec was still trying to bring himself to terms with the fact he was in another universe. But at least they were safe. He looked to Sarah, Beez, and Adam. He didn’t know what was happening back home, but they wouldn’t be a part of it. “Treehouse?” He questioned Beezy. (( I’m just randomly replying and tagging idfk @ask-a-ds​ ))

“I see,” Alec replied, squeezing Sarah’s hand gently, “Thank you, Beezy.” He reached out and put a hand on their shoulder.  “I appreciate you sticking your neck out for us.” Truly, he did. He needed the people he cared about to be safe. At least for a little while. @ask-a-ds

When Sarah kissed his shoulder, Alec leaned over and kissed her head. He glanced to Beez at their comment, but he had no idea how to convince them that they were safe. The only reason he had to believe it was, more or less, because Beezy said they were. He knew his trust in them was not enough for the Lieutenant.  Stopping with a sigh, he squeezed Sarah’s hand again and stepped a little forward so he was facing the both of them. “This isn’t so bad,” he said, trying to keep his voice light, “Almost like a vacation.” @ask-a-ds

Sarah drove as fast as she could to Alec’s, somewhat surprised she made it there safely. When she did, she ran to his door and began to knock insistently. “Alec!” she called. “Open the bloody door!” Whether she was furious, or worried, it couldn’t be said, but she may have truly been a bit of both.

Alec opened the door for her, phone in hand once again. But he didn’t speak to her as he continued typing. Apologizing to Beelzebub for what he had said. He ignored Sarah. Which felt rather fitting considering the way she had completely ignored him when he had been upset with her.

Sarah stepped into his and looked at him, crossing her arms as she waited on him to finish typing. Her phone buzzed with a notification, and she was suddenly cursing and moving to sit down.

Alec ignored Sarah for a while longer. Until she jumped into the chat where he was talking to Beez. He put down his phone. He had seen the stream of Aksel’s. He internally vowed to kill the man, once and for all. Whether it was legal or not. It was something he had been wanting to do since well before this whole fiasco with Hannah. Now, it was just more determined. But he had so many other problems right now. He lowered his phone. “Hide her in a fucking closet or something,” he growled.

Sarah looked up at him sharply. “You and I both know she needs better protection than that. She needs to be kept somewhere she literally cannot be taken from. We don’t know who all is going to be a threat now.”

Clenching hs jaw, Alec glared down at her. “You are literally surrounded by the most powerful occult forces in existence. I’m sure you can figure out something.”

“This is something you would normally be concerned about,” she said, leaning forward a bit. “What is it?”

“Sorry,” Alec replied, voice biting with bitter sarcasm, “But I have a lot of other things to worry about at the moment. And clearly my concern for Hannah is irrelevant anyway. She seemed the first time with absolutely no actual help from me.”

“The fact that you’re not at all concerned is what’s concerning me,” she said, and went to him. “Alec, love… Talk to me. What’s going on?” She cupped his cheek gently. “I just want to help, my dear.” Her thumb rubbed slowly over his cheekbone.

Frowning deeply, Alec pulled away from her hand. Though he didn’t step away from her entirely. “What’s wrong?” He asked darkly, “Everything is fucked. That’s what’s wrong. I went off on Beez when they didn’t deserve it. You have been keeping things from me, and ignoring me. And now all of this. So tell me, what isn’t wrong?”

It stung when Alec pulled away from her a bit, and as such, her hand landed on his chest. “I’ve been ignoring you?” she questioned. “Alec, I… I love you. I wouldn’t ever do that on purpose. And what have I been keeping from you?”

“What have you been keeping from me?” Alec as incredulously, “I don’t know, maybe the person we have been working our asses off to find is just fucking fine!?”

After a couple of knocks and no answer, Alec went in. Calling out softly for them. Going room by room until he finally found them. Huddled in the tub. “Beez,” he said softly, coming over to them immediately, kneeling outside of the tub, “I’m so sorry.” His voice cracked a little on that last bit. Guilt for the way he had acted ripping him up.

Seeing them like this hurt. Hurt worse knowing he was the cause. Alec’s eyes burned with it and he swallowed hard. Taking what he knew was a risk, he slowly stood. Then, moving slow enough they could easily stop him at any point, he climbed into the tub as well. Sinking down and pulling them into his arms.

Beelzebub’s head snapped to look at him, watching his every movement with a paranoid vigilance, until he was pulling them into his arms. They didn’t resist, but didn’t make any move to reciprocate the contact. Their hands held their crocodile pendant in their hands as they continued to gasp for air.

Glad that they had not pushed him away, Alec gently rubbed their back. “Just try to breath,” he said softly, gently pressing their head against his chest, “In.” He breathed, then held it a few seconds. “Out.” He breathed out.  “Do it with me, darlin,” he told them gently. Then continued to breath slowly, rhythmically.

As they tried to breath, Alec continued rubbing their back gently. Heart breaking for them. Lips resting gently against their head. When they finally spoke, he closed his eyes. Chest tight. “No, no, no, love,” he said quietly, voice rough, “You have nothing to apologize for. I’m sorry, darlin. I’m so sorry.”

One hand grabbed the front of his shirt. “You don’t understand,” Beelzebub said tearfully. “I don’t- I don’t know what to do, I’m just, so scared, all the time, that- that every minute, while I sit here, Az or Mamm or Bel could be dying and-“ Tears spilled down their cheeks, finally, and they began to shake. “I’m sorry, I just don’t know what to do anymore-“

Chest aching, Alec closed his eyes. Squeezing them shut as he continued to calmly rub their back. Holding them tight with his other arm. “You go home,” He said simply, doing so causing him a great deal of pain, “You have to go home. Protect your family.”  He understood, he truly did. Even supported this. But knowing they did not want him going with them hurt. Knowing they would be in danger hurt.
