There was something in her expression that terrified him. She walked right into his arms. "I was blind," she mumbled into his shirt. He shuddered, and she felt it. They held each other more tightly. "You saved me," she went on, still not looking up. He lifted his hands off her body, cradled her face and forced her to look up at him. "You saved them. C'mon. We're still on duty." He kissed her forehead briefly, and she stepped back with a fragile smile. "You keep surprising me," she told him. "And ideally I'll keep on surprising you for the next fifty or sixty years," he grinned recklessly. Dana Scully grinned, knowing that they would only be Special Agents for half that time, or less, knowing what he was proposing. United again, reinvested, they went back to work. ---------
