“Peter - I’ve got to get out of here.”
The desperation in Elizabeth’s voice tore at him. He reached for her and tried to hold her close, but she struggled like a wild animal. He held her fast and eventually she calmed down.
“I know, love. I know. But it’s not safe.” Peter felt El shudder in his arms.
“I never thought I’d be this way - so...claustrophobic.” He could hear from the break in her voice that she was on the verge of tears.
He sat down and pulled her into his lap. “Shhh, honey. It will be all right.” El just seemed to collapse.
“No it won’t. It never will be all right again.” Her words, so quietly spoken and the hot tears soaking through his shirt nearly broke his heart. He wished he could promise her that there was nothing to be afraid of, that they could go back to the way that everything was. But he couldn’t. Not yet - not until they tracked down the monsters who wanted him dead.
He rocked Elizabeth like a child in need of comfort. She was so strong, so much his own rock that it this breakdown shook him to the soul.
Neal walked in and paused at the sight of Elizabeth weeping in Peter’s arms. At Peter’s nod, he came to them and knelt by the chair.
“I have some news.”
Elizabeth lifted her tearstained face, a little bit of hope coloring her cheeks.
“We’ve checked through the entire house, from attic to basement. We’ve pulled apart everything and put it all back together again, and it’s safe, and if Peter agrees…” Neal looked up at the other man. “We can leave Obscurity and go home, under guard. Not to stay, not just yet - but just for a little while.”
