The thing about writing - you never know where it will lead you and how it will change you in the process.
I accidentally fell in love with the character of India Zulu 254. So little screen time, so significant of a turn in storytelling. It tells so much about Ethan, the IMF, and the state of the world the IMF agents were in during the time of DR/TFR. It also helps that McQ spoke quite extensively (and might I add fondly!) of Alex James-Phelps and his characterization during their initial talk, then filming, then everything.
I felt that he would have a PERFECT part in the DR/TFR arc, the answer to all the audience questions of "how did that happen" especially in TFR. So I wrote him into my fic!
