Did anyone else notice Mitchell’s name wasn’t Mitchell in 2x01??!

And we're back to Tarlos whump 😁 this time on Carlos' part, the 3rd most voted option on the poll.

Thanks for tagging me, @carlos-in-glasses 😘

If ever Lexi was grateful for not having the 126 present at a scene, it’s today. Not because she doesn’t like them but because she’s sure she wouldn’t be able to look any of them in the eye. “Lexi, will you please calm down?” “I am calm,” she replies automatically but looks at him nevertheless. Her partner is giving her his puppy eyes and even though his face is currently half hidden behind the hands of the paramedic working on him, she still knows that look far too well not to react. Groaning, she gives up on her pacing and steps over to the ambulance, leaning against the open door. “It really wasn’t your fault,” Carlos tells her even though the evidence is right there. She points at his head where the medic is still taking care of the wound on his temple, his eye slightly swollen from the blow he took. “Your bleeding face and that shiner you’ll get beg to differ.” “It was an unpredictable situation. Home invasions always are, if I may remind you.” Lexi rolls her eyes, not deterred so easily. “I was supposed to have your back and–” “And you did,” Carlos interrupts, reaching for her hand to squeeze it. “You all but pulled a 300 pound guy off of me before he could kill me.” She shouldn’t even have let the guy get on her partner in the first place, is the problem here. She should’ve seen the guy coming, should’ve prevented this from happening instead of just rushing to her partner’s aid. She’s about to say all that when Carlos squeezed her hand again. “You saved my life, Lexi, that’s all that matters.” Instead of arguing, she nods. She knows her partner is too good a human being to ever blame her for what happened, no amount of arguing will change that. Maybe she’s looking forward to seeing her partner’s husband after all… at least he’ll probably rip her a new one, just like she deserves.
