He wakes up in a cold sweat with her name in his mouth. He blindly grabs his phone and presses the second number on his speed dial. It only takes 2 rings before her voice is in his ear.

Phone call

Kate: Tony? What's wrong? Why are you calling me this early?  Do we have a case?
Tony: Katie.
Kate: Tony, talk to me, what's wrong?
Tony: Can..can you just talk to me about something unimportant?
Kate: Okay, um, I'm seeing a new guy and I like him a lot.
Tony: Does that mean I can interrogate him?
Kate: No, because your version of interrogation my boyfriends involves shooting them.
Tony: Damn it.
Kate: Why did you want me to talk about important stuff?
Tony: You'll laugh at me if I tell you.
Kate: I won't laugh at you, Tony, you know that I won't.
Tony: I had a nightmare that you died and I couldn't save you.
Kate: I'm on my way, Tony.
Tony: What? No, it's 4;30 in the morning, you're not coming over here.
Kate: Yes, I am, you need me, so I'm coming to you, whether you like it or not.
Tony: Okay, the door's open.
Kate: I'll see you soon, Tony.
Tony: See you soon, Katie.
Phone call

Tony lets his phone drop out of his hand and onto his royal blue comforter, his eyes closing.

She's on her way, at 4:30 in the morning. Tony thinks to himself. She's on her way just because I had a nightmare about her.

The sound of footsteps echoing throughout his apartment brings him out of his thoughts.

"Tony?" a voice says softly. Tony's eyes open when he hears her voice and feels his mattress dip as someone sits beside him. Kate is sitting on the edge of his bed, a smile on her face.

"You came." Tony whispers to her.

"Of course I came, I told you I was." She says, slipping her shoes off before crawling into the bed beside him, wrapping her arms around him.

"I'm here now, Tony." Kate says softly, stifling a yawn. Tony's lips curl upwards into a smile.

"Go back to sleep, Katie." Tony tells her softly, stroking her hair.

"I'll sleep if you sleep." Kate bargains. Tony sighs and closes his eyes, holding his sister closer to him.

"Night night, little sister." Tony whispers to his little sister.

"Night, big brother." Kate replies sleepily.

Tony falls asleep in the arms of his little sister.

A\N: I know this is short but it's all I can come up with right now, might update it.
