The harsh fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, painting tired stripes across the concrete. You shuffled through the door, your gear a second skin of lead and grime. Your vision swam, the world tilting on its edge. A hand, solid and sure, caught your shoulder, steadying you. Captain Price stood there, his blue gaze taking inventory of every scrape and shadow under your eyes. "You're about to go lights out, lovie," he said, his voice a low rumble. He didn't ask. His fingers were already at the fastenings of your vest, working them open with practiced ease. "Let me help." As the heavy straps fell away, his tone softened, the words meant just for you. "You did good work today. I'm proud of you."
