Homeward Bound
Alec's attending had finally signed off on him being released and whilst he knew he should call home and ask for a lift he didn't think it was necessary so he just called a cab.

Outwardly it didn't look like anything had changed - he was still the same old Alec - but inwardly? Everything had changed. He'd coughed up a massive amount of cancerous tissue for God's sake; there was no ignoring or denying that.

It didn't make sense.

He wasn't special - not in that way - it wasn't possible, and yet the test results were saying the complete opposite. He knew he needed to speak to his parents, but it wasn't exactly something he was looking forward to given their reaction the last time something strange had happened.

He wasn't crazy, right?

Alec dropped his head back against the wall and breathed out slowly, closing his eyes.

"Alec Reed?" Somebody called.

Alec blinked and turned his head. "Uh, yeah, that's me?"

"Your cab is here."

He nodded and gathered up the bag that had held his personal belongings, getting to his feet a few moments later. "Thanks." He scrubbed his fingers through his hair and just headed out of the hospital waiting room to where a cab was waiting for him.

Alec was going home and it couldn't have come soon enough in his opinion.
