#what if they get lucy to helicopter pilot for them during the lab emergency instead...

[barelybuckley]

guys what about an au wherein buck is the one who 'dies' in the lab and gets stuck in a government lab..... and then we see bobby struggling with losing another kid but 'for real' after so many close calls with buck before, and we get eddie who gets the call in texas and has to tell chris and so we get BOTH of them struggling with not being there 'when buck needed them' like, chris is angry at not being in LA but also he's pissed that eddie wasn't there to watch buck's back and he's angry at himself because eddie wasn't there for buck because he was in texas for HIM. and we get chimney who's struggling because buck sacrificed himself to get chim back to his sister and his niece and nephew because we know he'd be like 'if its gotta be anyone it should be me' because everyone else has kids and eddie's not there anymore and he's always a bit self-sacrificial when the others are on the line. but chimney can't let it go because he's face to face with maddie's grief and he's like 'was i even worth that? why would he make that choice'.

and then we get athena who can't let things go because she's trying to help bobby and somehow buck manages to get word out to like. karen or athena and we get them teaming up to help break buck outta there and then the second eddie sees buck he kisses him because he sped run his feelings realization leading up to bucks 'funeral' and so he just goes for it.
