She froze. And not just from the sudden chill that accompanied his touch.
Her knees felt slightly weak, but with Jack holding her up like that, there was little chance of her collapsing. The anger faded at the sound of his voice. How desperate he sounded. Scared. He still thought she was mad at him.
"You haven't messed anything up, Jack." Her hands somehow found their way to his arms. She had to bite her lip to keep her voice steady. "I...you don't get it. It was bad enough I had to watch Robin die in front of me." Momentarily forgetting that he didn't know about Robin. "I can't just keep sitting here, helpless, knowing there's a chance I could lose anyone else. I have to do something"
