Marcos/Caitlin Ghost AU

When Marcos catches the wrong end of a bullet working undercover in the Cartel, he ends up in a coma at the hospital where Caitlin works as a nurse. Marcos has always been a religious man, but it still takes him aback to realize that a part of his soul is conscious, watching on like a balloon tied to a tether, as his body heals. Limbo is a pretty boring place, but Caitlin makes Marcos’ days just a little brighter, coming in to change his IV drip, running past his door to respond to a code blue. In the weeks Marcos remains comatose, he falls in love with Caitlin Strucker for all her kindness and her empathy and her light. It gives him all the more reason to finally wake up. But one thing keeps holding him back... then what?
