i came in through the window, tonight's patrol was quiet but I'm not going to complain about the city being safe. I take my helmet and suit off sliding into something comfier and finally take a breath, letting the peace in. I break from my trance hearing the disheveling of fabric coming from down the hall. I cock my head and made my way in front of y/ns door silently standing outside listening. I could hear panting, you tossing and turning, your heart fast.
I opened the door and slowly walked over to the side of your bed taking a seat, you didn't even notice i was there. You were too overstimulated to process anything, your hands cuffing against your ears trying to muffle the sounds of the world, you tossed, turned, and kicked trying to fight the invisible sound.
I've been there. When footsteps were as loud as gunshots or hearing everyone in 20 miles conversations at once. it was terrifying, but unlike me, you're not alone. I remove your hands from your ears and hold them firm to your chest and whisper “Breathe y/n” “Block it out, focus on my voice” “I'm right here y/n” and slowly you descend back into your body. Your heart slows, and you can catch your breath.
I let go and sat upright. You begin to weep coming down from the adrenaline. You quickly push yourself into my side, hiding under my arm, curled into a ball, and holding onto the back of my arm, and i let you.
I let you because it's what i needed then and it's what you need now. I let you because you deserve it. I let you because you are my daughter, No matter the blood. So i shield you from God's judgment and So i hide you from the heavens. Because i love you.
