Chapter Text
(Over at the DEO Mark and Alex are in Command center talking and joking around as someone walks up to them.)
Mark: Shut up i didn't say that.
Alex: Yes you did.
Mark: When did i say that?
Alex: Just yesterday while you were picking on them.
Mark: Damn Kara and her super hearing.
(Alex starts laughing at him.)
Mark: It's not funny. She doesn't know i still have feelings for her.
Alex: Don't you think it's about time you told her?
Mark: No. She's why would i ruin that.
Alex: Because i can tell it's killing you not to say something to her.
Mark: What the hell would be the point in telling my ex girlfriend how i feel about her when she's dating Lt Kelly i'm too good to work for OFI Severide.
(Alex looks at him and laughs off the shock of what he said.)
Alex: I'm sorry i didn't realize that's who she's dating.
Mark: She is unfortunately. At least you and Kara have someone to celebrate this Shiite holiday with.
(Then he turns and walks off as Reagan walks up to them.)
Reagan: Yikk's.
Alex: Yeah. What's up?
Reagan: Well as you know it's mine and Kate's first Valentine's day with each other since we got back together.
Alex: It is. I still can't believe Kara and Mary talked her into going to talk to you. Instead of Sophie.
Reagan: I know right.
Alex: Anyway. Girlfriend aside for now.
Reagan: You asking about how i'm doing since the crisis and losing my brother?
Alex: Yes.
Reagan: I'm good. But i don't really wanna think about that. What i can do is try and figure out what me and Kate can do for Valentine's day.
Alex: Reagan it's tomorrow.
Reagan: I know it's been so hard with her always going out as Batwoman and then there's Sophie.
(Alex looks at her and feels bad for her.)
Alex: Yeah Kara's told me about Sophie and how she's been with you two since she found out you two got back together.
Reagan: Yeah. In my opinion she had her chance with her and she blew it.
Alex: She doesn't see it that way.
Reagan: I know that. But i could really use some help in what i can do for me and Kate. And given how Mark just walked away he's not someone i need to be asking about
this.
Alex: He really isn't he's still pretty pissed off about Seager and Severide.
Reagan: Lovely.
Alex: Yeah. I mean he's never really liked this guy and the fact that his ex is now dating him doesn't make it any easier.
Reagan: What's her sister think of him?
Alex: She hates him.
Reagan: Wow.
(As they continue to talk. Kara flies in and lands next to them then she hears Mark's phone ringing and he answers it. Over by Mark.)
Mark: Buchanan!
Jay: How fast can you get to Chicago?
Mark: Why?
Jay: Because 51 was called out to an accident scene witnesses said they saw an OFI car being driven off of the road.
Mark: So why are you calling me?
Jay: Because it was Wendy Seager.
(Mark falls silent on the other end and gets annoyed.)
Mark: I'm on the way.
Jay: Okay.
(Then he hangs up and rushes out of the hallway and heads back towards his friends. As he gets to where they are he looks at them.)
Alex: You are right?
Mark: I gotta get out to Chicago.
Alex: Why?
Mark: 51 had gotten called out to an accident scene an OFI car was driven off of the road and into the river inside of the city.
Reagan: So why were you called?
Mark: Because it was Seager.
(They look at him and can tell he's pissed.)
Reagan: I'll come with you. I'll call Kate on the way.
Mark: Are right.
(Then they rush off as Reagan calls Kate who tells her she'll be on the next flight out to Chicago.)
Alex: Go. Be there as a reporter not as Supergirl.
Kara: Okay. Can you call Lena for me?
Alex: Yeah.
(Alex grabs her phone out and calls Lena. Who answers on the first ring.)
Lena: Alex!
Alex: Yeah hey. Mark just called away to Chicago.
Lena: What happened?
Alex: Wendy Seager was in an accident.
Lena: Kara!
Alex: She's going there to talk the firefighters who responded to the call.
Lena: Okay. Why didn't she call me herself?
Alex: You know Kara as well as i do.
Kara: Hey.
(Alex starts laughing as she takes the phone away from her sister to talk to her girlfriend.)
Kara: I'm going because my sister wants me to go there as a reporter and not Supergirl.
(Alex puts her head down.)
Lena: Okay. Just be safe.
Kara: I will i'll call you when we land.
Lena: Okay. Love i'll talk to you later.
Kara: Okay.
(Then she hangs up and hands the phone back to Alex whose still laughing at her.)
Kara: Kelly i'm going to beat on your girlfriend.
Kelly: What you do now?
Alex: Nothing i swear.
Kelly: Yeah okay. What's up?
Kara: A friend of Mark's was in an accident.
Kelly: She are right?
Kara: I don't know.
(She smiles at her as she walks off to go be with Mark. Later up on the plane their all flying out to Chicago to see how Wendy's doing. over by Mark he's sitting there
thinking as someone walks up to him.)
Reagan: Hey.
(He looks up at her and laughs.)
Mark: Hey.
(She sits down next to him.)
Reagan: You are right?
Mark: Yeah i'm fine.
Reagan: You sure?
Mark: Yup. Why you ask?
Reagan: Because you looked like you were ready to kill someone when you came by and told us.
Mark: She's it's just she was i don't know. I really don't.
Reagan: Mark!
Mark: I'm still in love with her and she's dating the world's biggest prick.
Reagan: She know this?
Mark: No. But than again i haven't really tried to tell her anything.
Reagan: Why not?
Mark: Because i'm trying my hardest not to punch her boyfriend in the face.
(She looks at him and laughs.)
Mark: I'm sorry. It's just i just don't see what she sees in him. I really don't. He treats women like crap.
Reagan: Name one person who doesn't.
Mark: Sophie!
(She looks at him and he laughs.)
Mark: Look i know she's been a complete bitch to you. Due to you and Kate being back together but at least she still treats women with the respect they deserve.
Reagan: Yeah that's true.
(He looks at her and laughs.)
Mark: I don't know.
Reagan: Seriously how does her sister feel about him?
Mark: Serenity!
Reagan: Yeah.
Mark: She's got about the same amount of opinion of him as i and the rest of her bandmates do.
Reagan: Oh no.
Mark: Yeah. They all think she can do better. But then again they say the samething about the prick Veracity's dating so.
Reagan: You mean she's not dating you?
Mark: No. She is not. Besides we're just friends.
Reagan: Huh.
Mark: Okay we slept together once.
(She starts laughing at him.)
Mark: It was before i ever met any of the other girls and Wendy.
Reagan: Okay.
Mark: I just.
Reagan: Mark!
Mark: Yeah.
Reagan: She's going to be okay.
(He looks at her and smiles at her.)
Mark: I'm aware of that.
Reagan: Okay.
Mark: By the way.
Reagan: What?
Mark: Shouldn't you be planning your's and Kate's first Valentine's together?
Reagan: Yes. But than again the person i normally ask about all things Kate stormed off and called Valentine's a shitie holiday.
Mark: Yeah sorry about that.
Reagan: No it's fine. It's just it's our first Valentine's together since we got back together and it's hard to plan with her being Batwoman and all.
(Mark looks at her and laughs.)
Mark: True. But you know Kate as long as she's with you i really don't think she cares what you two do. As long as the night ends with you two in bed together.
(She looks at him as Mark's trying to keep from laughing.)
Reagan: I knew i should of gone to one of the Evermoist members.
Mark: Why? They'd be just as bad. Calamity being the worst.
Reagan: Well yeah look at who her girlfriend is.
Mark: Why you gotta be bringing Beca into this?
Reagan: Because it's fun and she's not here to defend herself.
Mark: True.
Reagan: It's just i want this to be special.
Mark: To be honest Reagan.
Reagan: What?
Mark: And in all seriousness.
Reagan: Okay.
Mark: As long as Kate's with you i don't really think she cares what you two do as long as you do it together. Go a movie or dinner.
Reagan: Movie and dinner now there's an idea.
Mark: See. And then if you two are up for it. Go take a walk through the park. Like i said as long as she's with you.
Reagan: Okay. That's all i really wanted to hear.
(Mark looks at her and laughs.)
Mark: Always good to hear.
(She smiles at him. Shortly after the latest crisis and reunited with her friends and family Kate and Reagan ran into each other started talking and started dating
again after about two or three more run in's Kate finally broke down and asked Reagan out again to which she quickly accepted and they've been together ever since after
a week or two after getting back together Kate told Reagan about her being Batwoman and Reagan of course started laughing but then calmed down when she realizes she
wasn't kidding and smiled at her. And promised her she wouldn't tell anyone her secret which was one hell of a relief to Kate. After finding out that Kate and Reagan
got back together Sophie started trying to cause trouble for them but was always stopped by Mark and the members of Evermoist who made her quickly back off. Once they
knew she was gone they would walk off but just because they got her back off while they were around doesn't mean Sophie did what she was told to do when they weren't
around. Later over in Chicago,Il as the DEO jet lands at the private airfield they all walk off of it and head over to the truck Mark had rented as they get there they
throw their things into the back of it and get in once their in the truck and close their doors Mark starts it and quickly takes off towards the hospital.)
Mark: Sorry. It's just it'll be easier this way.
Reagan: It's okay. Just don't get us pulled over in the progress.
Mark: Sorry.
(She laughs at him. Over at the hospital Brett's pacing back and forth waiting for Mark to arrive so she can tell him about the accident as she's waiting her partner
and girlfriend walks up to her.)
Foster: You are right?
(She turns around and faces her.)
Brett: Yeah i'm just waiting for Mark so i can tell him what happened.
Foster: He'll be here mainly knowing how he still feels about Seager.
Brett: I don't doubt that.
(She smiles at her as they both walk back into the hospital. Out on the road to the hospital Mark's sitting there driving and thinking about Seager. As he's driving
his phone goes off and looks at the truck and answer the call.)
Mark: Hey.
Serenity: Hey. Where are you?
Mark: I'm headed to Med now i should be there in about ten twenty minutes.
Serenity: Okay. Well we're on our way.
Mark: Okay. Be careful.
Serenity: We will be.
(Then she hangs up with him as they continue onto the hospital.)
Kara: How'd she find out about the accident?
Mark: I told her. I knew he wouldn't do it.
(She smiles at him as he pulls over and picks Kate up and she quickly gets in and closes her door.)
Kara: Batwoman really?
Mark: She's Reagan's girlfriend get over yourself Kara.
(They start laughing as he pulls off again to continue on their way to the hospital.)
Mark: What your dad say when you said you'd be leaving?
Kate: He was okay with it. I mean he was more understanding then Sophie or Luke were but then again.
Mark: Yeah well you and Reagan could of stayed in Gotham i mean Kara's here with me.
Kate: Yeah but we wanted to be here for you.
(He looks at her in the rear view mirror and smiles at her.)
Mark: Well thank you.
Reagan: Anytime.
(He laughs at them as he continues onto the hospital. Later as they reach the hospital he pulls into the parking lot and goes to park once their parked he stops it and
puts in park once it's in park he shuts it off and they all get out of the truck once their out they close their doors and Mark locks it up once it's locked up they
rush up the building as they get there they walk in and he looks around for Brett as he's looking one of the nurses walks up to him.)
April: Mark!
Mark: Hey.
April: You looking for someone?
Mark: Yeah i'm looking for Brett.
April: Her and Foster got another call out so they had to leave.
Mark: Okay. Um how is she?
April: She's still in surgery.
(He looks at her and nods his head at her.)
April: But Dr. Halstead is doing everything he can to keep her alive.
Mark: Okay thank you.
April: You're welcome.
(Then she turns and walks off as he looks at his friends then he walks out into the waiting area to wait for news on Wendy and waits for her sister to show up. Minutes
later Brett and Foster rush in with their latest pick up and rush them into the hospital telling the doctor's and nurses what happened to them and how they were on the
way into the hospital once their finished April tells her that Mark's there and she rushes out to go and talk to him. As she gets to where he is he looks up at her.)
Mark: Brett!
Brett: Hey sorry i wasn't here when you got here.
Mark: No it's fine. What happened?
Brett: According witnesses Seager's car was driven off of the road and into the river.
Mark: Okay.
Brett: She looked pretty bad her car was in even worse shape.
Mark: Brett!
Brett: Foster was the one in the back with her when we brought her in.
Mark: Foster!
Foster: She coded twice in the ambulance it took both me and Gallo a little longer each time she flat lined.
(He looks at her and then looks off.)
Mark: How long the first time?
Foster: The first time it took less then a second to get her heart going again.
Mark: and the other's?
Foster: Between two four seconds.
(He puts his head down annoyed with who ever ran her off of the road.)
Mark: How long had she been under the water?
Foster: She wasn't in the car when Squad pulled her out of the water.
Mark: She was thrown?
Foster: Yeah.
Mark: Which means she wasn't wearing her seat belt.
Brett: Or someone tampered with it.
Mark: Where the hell is Severide?
(They both look at him not sure of how to answer that question.)
Mark: Foster where is Severide?
Brett: He went out of town and we haven't been able to get a hold of him.
(Mark looks at them annoyed.)
Mark: Where did he go out of town. Into the middle of fucken no where?
Foster: Okay look we get it you're upset. We don't know where he is. He's not answering his phone and we've all tried to get a hold of him.
Mark: I know i'm sorry. It's just who did he go with?
Brett: Stella Kidd.
(Mark looks at her and then to Kate who looks off annoyed.)
Kara: Seriously. Valentine's day is tomorrow and he's spending his time with her?
Brett: Yeah we asked him the samething.
(Mark looks off annoyed.)
Mark: What do the police know?
Foster: We've been talking to Jay off and on but.
Mark: They don't really know anything yet.
Foster: I'm sorry.
Mark: It's are right. God what is it with him?
Brett: Casey's been wondering the samething.
Mark: I swear if they show up here together i'm gonna beat the ever loving hell out of him.
Kate: Mark!
Mark: His girlfriend is in the hospital fighting for her damn life and he's strolling the middle of nowhere with Stella Kidd. What the hell kind of boyfriend goes off
with someone else.
Kate: You did it.
Mark: I was looking for a ring.
Kate: What?
Mark: When she broke it off with me. I was looking for a ring.
Kate: You were going to ask her to marry you?
Mark: Yes. We'd been together for two years. I wanted to make her my wife. Not my ex girlfriend. But thanks to him and whoever ran her off of the road i'll never get
that chance again.
(Brett and Foster look off annoyed with him.)
Brett: Shit.
Foster: Yup.
(Later Mark's still sitting in the waiting area waiting for news on Wendy as Will comes out of the main hospital looking for someone in Wendy's family.)
Will: Mark!
(He looks up at him then stands up to walk over to him.)
Mark: How is she?
Will: She's okay. She made it through the surgery.
Mark: Anything to serious?
Will: She was in the freezing river for over ten twenty minutes until 51 arrived on scene.
Mark: So she was cold?
Will: Yeah. We couldn't take her into surgery right away due to her body temp.
Mark: But she's okay?
Will: Yeah she's fine. She makes it the next twenty-four hours we believe she'll make a full recovery.
Mark: Okay good. I'm still waiting for her sister to arrive.
Will: Okay. Once she does come find me and i'll explain everything to her as well.
Mark: Okay well you're going to be completely surprised when you do see the sister.
Will: Why?
Mark: Their twins.
Will: Oh crap.
Mark: Yeah. Anyway. Can i go and see her?
Will: We're getting her into recovery when she's settled in i'll send one of the nurses out here to come and get you.
Mark: Okay thanks man.
Will: You bet.
(Then he turns and walks as Severide walks into the hospital seeing him Mark walks over to him and punches him sending him to the ground. He looks up at him and then
stands up.)
Mark: How nice of you to finally show your faces around here.
(They both look at him and know he's pissed at them.)
Mark: What the hell is your deal Severide?
Severide: I don't have a deal.
Mark: Really is that why you were out of town with her instead with your girlfriend the day before Valentine's day?
(He looks at him not sure of what to say to him.)
Mark: And you.
(Stella looks at him.)
Stella: What the hell did i do?
Mark: Going off with someone else boyfriend seriously.
Stella: He needed my opinion on something.
Mark: So you went with him the man whose supposed to be in a committed relationship. With a woman i might add he stole from me.
(Severide looks at him looks at him and then looks off annoyed.)
Stella: Mark come on.
Mark: She was in an accident and no one could get in touch with him or with you all because you decided to take a joy ride out into the middle of fucken nowhere.
(They both look at him and know he's annoyed but don't say anything. So Severide punches him sending Mark's head to the side Mark gets his barring's back and gose
after him sending them through the door they both just came through as they land on the ground Severide goes to punch him only to have someone rush in and pulls him
off of him then throws him at Stella who looks at her and knows who it is.)
Serenity: Get your boyfriend the hell out of here or i'll be the one who beats the hell out of him.
Severide: Your sister's my girlfriend.
Calamity: Yeah well she shouldn't be.
(He looks at them as Calamity puts her hand out for Mark and he grabs it once he has it he stands up and looks at them. Just then Kate runs out of the hospital.)
Kate: Mark!
(He looks over at her.)
Mark: What's wrong?
Kate: One of the nurses just came to talk to us.
Mark: How is she?
Kate: Wendy just flat lined.
(He looks at her not sure of what to say.)
Calamity: Oh god.
Veracity: Damn.
