Chapter Text
Pacing is a ridiculous pass time in the face of distress. That didn't stop Merlin of course. He glanced over at the computer screen hoping by some miracle that the feed from Eggsy's, or Harry's, or someone's, glasses to pop up.
He felt something press against his shin an he looked down. J.B. was leaning against his leg, looking up at him, tongue lolling.
"They'll be fine." Merlin said, leaning down to pick up the pug. "You're being ridiculous. Pacing about like that. You should stop." The pug licked his face. Merlin grimaced.
The door slid open and he looked up. Roxy was standing in the doorway. "Any news?"
"No." Merlin said. "The feed is still out. I'm not sure what exactly happened. I can't get it back."
"Shall I get ready for extraction?" Roxy asked.
"No need, luv. We made it back."
Merlin's head snapped up. Harry and Eggsy were standing in the doorway, leaning against each other, looking exhausted. Neither was wearing their glasses, their suits in scraps. Merlin sucked in a breath and crossed the room over to them. "What happened?" He stroked a thumb over Harry's cheek and Eggsy buried his face in his neck.
"Almost got blown up." Eggsy mumbled, reaching out to take J.B. from him. "We managed to get out just in time. Is there food? Can we eat?"
Merlin chuckled and kissed Eggsy's head. "Well, looks like over all he's fine." He turned to Harry. "How about you? Any injuries?"
Harry sighed. "None that I'm aware of." He pulled away from the two of them. "We'll need to be fitted for new glasses. Ours had an unfortunate accident."
"I'll leave you three to debrief." Roxy said. She patted Eggsy's arm. "I'm glad you two are safe." She carefully closed the door behind her.
Merlin pulled Harry into a kiss. "God I was terrified."
Eggsy put down J.B. and came to wrap his arms around the two of them. "We're back, Merlin. We're safe."
