Fics like Will we ever learn? (we’ve been here before)

“Oh,” I sigh, rubbing still-shaking hands across my stubbly face because oh, that was so close. Too close. We were supposed to be done with the theatrics, with the life-and-death bullhonkey. What the heck, universe? Not cool. I don’t want to move for a bit. The siren song of dissociation calls my name, and honestly, I’m so, so chill with just sitting here for a second and decompressing and trying to remember all the breathing techniques I learned for my students, butー But the lights are still flashing red, flashing with urgency and Mary is saying something and I have to drag my mind, kicking and screaming, back to focusー “-ected. Toxic gas in Laboratory detected. Toxic gas in Laboratory-” Mary drones, and once it clicks into place the cold sweat is backー Oh god noー The banging noise. The gas leak. The lab. Rocky.
