Present
The room was dark and dusty, barely any light coming through other than the smallest beams through the gap of the metal door. Y/N sat with Jane's head lay on their lap as they waited to be rescued from this undercover mission gone wrong.
"Do you think they're coming?" Jane asked as she looked up them in the darkness.
"Yeah." They reassured her, hoping to keep her hopes up as they had already started to lose their own. "You will be home before you know it." They told her as she held their hand in hers.
"I'm sorry about before." She whispered as they shook their head.
"Just don't worry about it." They smiled softly as she nuzzled into them as her eyes closed. Y/N's eyes remained on the door. Waiting for a chance to get them both free.
Then
Y/N walked through the halls of the building, heading straight to the directors office because they were getting a new partner. They noticed a blonde woman in a suit sat in the seat opposite Director Stevens.
"Agent Y/L/N, this here is Agent Jane Banner. She will be your new partner since Richards had retired." Stevens informed them as they just nodded. "So please get to know each other a little."
"Do you like coffee?" Y/N asked her as she just nodded. They beckoned for her to follow as they headed towards the cafeteria. Ordering two black coffees and handing one to Jane. "So, I am Y/N."
"Jane." She replied as the two headed outside, she observed how they lit up a cigarette. She knew that the relationship between the two would be fun to see unfold.
Present
Y/N had taken their jacket off and folded it up to put underneath Jane's head. It has been five days since they had been caught and trapped in this concrete cell. Nothing but the clothes on their back.
They looked at the door, taking everything in as they soon heard voices from the otherside. They were muffled and low, but they could just about make out what was being said
"We kill them and sell the girl." One said.
"Why not kill both?" The other asked.
"We can get a good deal for the girl. She is trained in more ways than we think." They clenched their fists at their sides as they heard retreating footsteps.
"Y/N?" Jane spoke softly as she sat up. "What's going on?"
"The next time they give us food, we are getting out." They told her.
"What?" Jabe questioned.
"They're talking about selling you." They informed her as they took a seat beside her.
"And you?" She questioned as they only shook their head. "They want to kill you."
"Well I am of no use." They told her. "So we will get out of here."
Then
Y/N had found themselves having unexpected feelings towards the blonde. Already feeling protective over her so they would always make sure she would be as far away from confict as much as they could.
It wasn't until they were in the middle of a shootout, Jane had decided to push forward resulting in her being shot. Luckily it hit the vest but Y/N soon ran out and pulled her into cover.
"I told you to wait." They told her as they checked her over.
"I saw an opening." She told them as they sighed.
"Stay here." They ordered her as she shook her head no. "That's an order Banner." They scolded before she leaned against the wall in defeat as Y/N had moved forward with the team.
Once Jane was on the back of the ambulance, Y/N approached her as they took the target in for questioning.
"How could you be so careless Jane! What if that bullet hit you somewhere not guarded by kevlar." They yelled at her. "You could have died and I." They took a deep breath and shook their head. "Never mind." They started to walk away as Jane followed them.
"What?" She questioned them, urging them to finish what they were saying. "You what?" She pressed on as she gripped their arm, forcing them to turn and face her. They never said a word, only stepped forward and kissed her gently. Afraid she would shatter in their grasp like fine china.
"I love you Jane." They told her. "I tried not to fall for you but I did. I fell and I fell hard." Jane replied by kissing them harder than the last one.
Present
"You know I never stopped loving you." Y/N confessed as Jane looked at them. "I know now is not the time for this but I just need you to know."
"Me too." Jane whispered. "I ended it because I was worried about working with you out in the field and I wouldn't be able to think straight. I always loved you Y/N. I still love you." They smiled at her before looking at the door.
"Once we are out of here, I am taking you on a date." They told her firmly as she smiled at them, leaning forward and capturing their lips in hers.
Then
Things seemed fine between the two, everyone who knew that the two were together would have thought that they had it together but truthfully, the two had never felt more out of sync.
With the constant worry of the other out on the field took most of their attention from the case. That had caused Jane to request a new partner which soon caught Y/N's attention.
"What the hell Jane?!" They questioned as they pulled her inside an empty interrogation room. "You've requested a switch? Why?"
"Because." She tried to find the right words. "I can't be with you and work with you at the same time. I'm constantly worried about you more than the case we are working on!"
"Don't you think I am not thinking the same. Hell you were the one who got shot!" Y/N countered as Jane shook her head.
"I just. I love you Y/N and I can't have my judgement clouded by that and cost one of us our lives." Jane told them sadly. "I'm sorry but this has to end."
"We have been together 6 months and now you want to throw in the towel." They scoffed as Jane kept a firm stance. "So this is it?"
"This is it." She whispered before she walked away without looking back at them. Y/N watched as she disappeared with a heavy heart.
Present
The two soon pulled apart as the door opened. Y/N gave Jane a small nod with a smirk as they turned to face the person who brought their dinner.
"Look here, the two prisoners are lovers." He teased as he placed the tray down. Y/N reached for it before smacking him over the head before hitting his windpipe. Taking his gun and passing it to Jane. The two left the cell as Y/N took his knife as Jane had the pistol ready to shoot.
"Are you ready to go home?" They asked her as she nodded. They could already here shots being fired as they moved through the corridor, looking through the glass in the door to see the FBI, led by Stevens firing. "Let's do this." Y/N soon moved out and started to take down the enemies, one by one until they felt a bullet hit their chest. Looking directly in Stevens's eyes as they fell to their knees.
"Y/L/N!" He yelled as he shot more as Jane ran to them too. He applied pressure to their wound as Jane covered them. "Stay with us." He murmured as he tried to stop the bleeding. "Jane, help." He begged as he looked into her pale face. "It's not stopping." As the shots died down, Stevens yelled for paramedics.
"Don't do this Y/N." Jane pleaded as she looked at their face, their eyes slowly closing. "Stay with me please." Both Jane and Stevens were moved away from them as the paramedics rushed away with them.
"You need to be checked out Jane." He ordered as she just nodded. She was dragged by Director Stevens to his car as he raced to the hospital, explaining everything to the nurse before she was led away. She was malnourished and dehydrated and was hooked up to an IV.
She looked over as Director Stevens entered with a look of relief on his face, Jane had tears in her eyes as he gave her a smile.
"They're going to be ok." He told her as she took a deep breath. "They're still asleep but they are going to be ok." She sighed a breath of relief as she thought she was going to lose them.
"Can I see them?" She asked him as he nodded, heading out for a wheelchair to take her. He wheeled up to the side of their bed as she took their hand in hers and resting it against her cheek. "God I love you so much Y/N." She whispered as she kissed their palm. Director Stevens remained leaning against the wall as he watched the two with a smile which soon faded as the monitor started to beat frantically before it flatlined. "Y/N?!"
Director Stevens pulled her away as the doctors and nurses came running in to start CPR as Jane cried out for them. It felt like forever when they finally had a steady rhythm. The two sighed in relief as the doctors checked everything.
As the weeks went by, Jane never left their side, waiting patiently for them to wake which they never did. Jane had never felt so alone before now. Even though the one who owns her heart is with her, breathing and heart beating, she was still alone.
"I am starting to think that you might never wake up." She whispered as she looked at their face. "I miss you Y/N. I miss hearing your voice. Seeing you smile." She took in a shaky breath as she closed her eyes.
"I promised." Y/N spoke hoarsely. "I promised you a date." She sighed in relief as she saw their open eyes, not wasting a moment to kiss them as her tears fell. "I love you Jane."
"I love you Y/N." She replied before she kissed them once more.
