    Summary

    “No getting out of it now.” Bobby’s steady voice makes him flinch.

    “We literally haven’t moved.”

    “You could run,” Bobby says with a shrug. “But then you’d have to deal with Athena.” He steps into the RV.

    Turning around, Buck sees Athena standing at the doorway, her hand still in the air. When she catches his eye, something in her expression shifts. He’s seen that expression before. Typically, she uses it on people who are about to flee arrest.

     

    I fucking dare you.

     

    Sighing, Buck gets on the RV.

    *

    After a call that is almost his last, Buck is having a hard time. He’s avoids his family, his friends, and everything in between. When Bobby suggests they go on a road trip, he almost laughs. But what’s worse? He actually says yes.

    Or: The Post 5A recovery road trip fic literally no one asked for, but I wrote anyway.

    Summary

    Buck looks happy as a dog with a bone, glancing at Bobby with a mile wide grin. It's a familiar kind of look, though it takes until they're almost at the ambulance — Buck chatting away all the while — for him to place it, and it nearly makes him stumble when he does. Robert would give him that look when he made a new friend on the playground and got invited to hang out. Please, Dad, can I go? He's sure Buck didn't mean anything by it. Bobby doesn't have that authority in his life, nicknames and Springsteen concerts nothing that adds up to a tangible connection. And the kid- well, he's not a kid. 25 years old, can arrange his own playdates perfectly well.

    Summary

    Buck lost count of the nightmares.

    Everytime he closed his eyes, Buck saw Bobby. The captain he admired, the mentor who taught him so much, and the father he loved, Buck kept seeing him. Trapped on the other side of bullet-proof tampered glass, blood dripping from his nose across his graying skin. The pained expression in his watering eyes.

    "I love you, kid."

    Buck hadn't said it back. And now, he stood in the L.A. Hospital with his team, begging Steve McGarrett to tell him what in the hell was going on.

    "Steve," Buck repeated, desperate. "Why are you here?"

    Steve pursed his lips, nodded a few times, and then let out a deep breath and looked Buck straight in the eyes.

    "Because when I discover one of the victims of abuse and unlawful science experimentation in a ring of underground labs is the captain of one of my guys, I think I owe it to him to bring him home."

    OR: Bobby's been trapped in an underground lab for a year. He makes it home to his son.
