He wakes alone, arm stretched out over a bed that is empty but still full of the warmth of her. Briefly, he curls his hand in to the sheets, feeling for her, before pulling himself up to peer through the darkness. There is a crack of light at the door; one of his lamps from the hall, the one that lets off the most subtle light and he smiles at the thought of her feeling around in the dark so as not to wake him.

She'll soon figure out what a heavy sleeper he is.

The dull ache in his thigh has heightened to a painful throbbing though; pulling him from deep sleep back in to the night and he pulls the cover back and lifts his leg slowly over the edge of the bed. The adrenaline and painkillers that fuelled him earlier, allowed him to carry her from the hall in to his bed, has dissipated and he stumbles from the mattress in search of pain relief.

He finds her on the terrace, follows the cool breeze through the halls as he pushes a pill in to his mouth and swallows it dry. The sight of her wets his mouth enough. He's mutely surprised that she would be wandering his apartment naked, part of him expected her to cover up the second he rolled off of her earlier in the night, but he won't for a second complain. He clears his throat as he limps towards her and she melts in to his arms as he wraps them around her.

'Can't sleep?' he plants a kiss on her shoulder bade, wraps one arm across her breasts and spreads his other hand over her stomach. She is warm and soft despite the cool evening breeze and he wonders how long they could comfortably stay like this, in this moment, his hands exploring her.

'Just…' she sighs and brings a hand up behind her to touch the back of his neck, 'Couldn't help but think about what comes next?'

'For us?' he tightens his grip on her as she nods, turning her head so that they are cheek to cheek. 'Well, for now, I was going to suggest you come back to bed,' her breath hitched, her mouth opened and he planted a hot kiss on her, felt himself stirring against her, and turned her around, 'Tomorrow? Whatever you want. I'll be right here with you.'

She grinned, snaked her hand down between his legs and sighed again, 'What if I want to go through training? Become a member of the team properly this time. Would you be okay with that?'

He thinks of the nights away from her, the weeks of no contact that would be facing them, but also of having her by his side in the field. Officially, no question of her being taken away, no undermining comments from anyone else in the office.

'I'm with you, whatever, Jane. Whatever you want.'
