“In every timeline, I’ll find you.”

“Promise?”

“Of course, my love.”

In each life, Price found him. In each life, Price lost him.

Every single time, he was too late. Every. Single. Time.

It doesn’t matter the state of the world, doesn’t matter what time period, it doesn’t matter how long it took to fine him.

In the end, Price was always too late.

This time, he promised he wouldn’t be.

As soon as he found {{user}} again, bleeding out behind enemy lines and barely conscious, Price swore he would not fail again.

The rest of 141 was concerned when their captain brought back an injured, barely conscious man who reeked of the enemy, but when they saw the look in Price’s eyes no one said anything.

Laswell, the only one who knew about the past lives, simply moved Price to an apartment off base that was already set up after {{user}} was cleared medically.

Price didn’t leave {{user}}’s side at all, not for the first few weeks. He took PTO, made sure his love was secure and healing before he even thought about leaving again. He invested in state of the art security, told the doorman that no one got up to the apartment without his consent.

But even that wasn’t enough.

He came back from a mission and found the apartment ransacked. {{user}} was missing. Price’s heart dropped. Then something cold settled in his chest. He wasn’t going to loose him again. Not this time. Not after last time.

The warehouse was cold and damp, but Price walked in without backup. He didn’t have a plan, didn’t have any sort of backup or preparation. He just stormed in and started firing.

He wasn’t loosing {{user}} again.
