All according to plan (Unordinary AU)

Wanted Reunion/Unwanted Reunion

*Remi POV*

It had been a couple of weeks since Michael got his body back and has been going to therapy almost every day. Ever since his return he has been difficult, he barely talks and even keeps his distance from everyone. I've been afraid he is going to leave us.

Is all this superhero work finally getting to him? Or was it his past? No, it must be all of the above. Well, we were at Michael's house in New Boston and it was late in the day.

Remi: *Yawn* What time is it? 

I open my phone and saw it was late. We overslept most likely because Michael had a nightmare and I had to calm him down. I hope he had better sleep afterward. I go inside his room and saw him still asleep.

Remi: Hey Michael it's late. Get up.

He was still knocked out. So I lightly shook him.

Remi: Hey Michael wake up...AHHH

Michael quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me to the bed. He held me close causing me to blush.

Remi: Hey let me go! We need to go to your therapy session.

Michael: Rachel said we don't need to go in today. I rather lay here with you for the day.

I struggle a little but his warmth was all it took for me to succumb to his embrace. He was asleep but something came across his face. It was a smile, I rarely saw a smile so seeing him like this was always a treat. 

Remi: As much as I want to stay like this we need to get up.

Michael: Arrg fine.

He playfully complained causing me to give a light laugh. When we got up we took our showers and changed.

Remi: Michael how are you feeling?

Michael: I'm doing better...

Remi: Are you sure? You've been distant lately and it is starting to worry me.

Michael: Don't worry about it Remi, I'm okay.

Remi: It's not just me who is worried. When you go back to the group what would they think? That their leader is pushing them away.

Michael was looking at the ground. I could tell that hit something in him.

Michael: I'm afraid to get you all hurt. These missions will only be getting more dangerous from here. I don't want you guys to get hurt.

Remi: We will get hurt that is just a fact. But we will do anything for this plan to work. Michael, we aren't doing this plan just for you. We are doing this because we want change in this world. And if it means fighting battles that look impossible then we will do it.

I walked up to him and put both of my hands on his shoulders.

Remi: And we have you as a leader because out of everyone you always make us have the motivation to work. We want a strong leader to work and fight alongside his team. And we will help the leader with anything.

This seemed to have loosened him up a little but I could tell something was in his mind.

Remi: Michael what is it?

Michael: Don't you think I'm too far gone...

This broke my heart.

Remi: WHAT NO! What makes you think that.

Michael: I mean look at me, I'm having nightmares 24-7 and having PTSD episodes. 

I held him in a tight hug as he continued his explanation.
