Title: With a Little Help From My Friends
Author: Maeve Bran
Summary: The Squints, Willow, and Booth rally around Angela in her time of need.
Disclaimer:I don't own Buffy or Angel or Bones.
Notes:This is for the August fic a day. This a part of Willow the Squint Universe. Set during "The Skull in the Desert" (Fox aired the episodes out of order so I'm going off the numbers next to the episodes HERE not the order they aired so this follows Pirate Bonds).
Word Count: 337
TTH100 Prompt:#27 Fear
Willow heard the quiver of fear in Angela Montenegro’s voice when she had asked to talk to Dr. Temperance Brennan, her best friend, alone. Willow knew something was wrong. She sent out a silent prayer to the Goddess Gaia for calming to Angela. Willow feared there was not much she could do but she knew Brennan would take care of it. She was the only one not surprised when Brennan took an impromptu vacation to the desert. Willow would have done the same if her best friend, Buffy Summers, had called sounding like that. The thing that surprised Willow was that Special Agent Seeley Booth would drop everything and fly out to the desert because Brennan called. It did confirm what she had suspected for months, the FBI Agent had feelings for the Forensic Anthropologist.
When the skull arrived later the next afternoon, Willow was on her own to do the skull reconstruction after Zack Addy, Dr. Brennan's grad student, and Dr. Jack Hodgins, the bug, slime and dirt guy, finished with the skull. She had come up with a picture that resembled Kirk Persinger but didn't exactly match like Angela's would have. Fortunately, DNA came back with an exact match to Kirk so they didn't have to rely on Willow's work. The news of the match confirmed Willow's fears. She paused to send some comforting vibes Angela's way. Willow knew that it wouldn't make much difference, but having been in the position of losing a lover, a little difference might be enough to keep Angela from going over the edge like Willow had.
Willow knew that Booth and Brennan were doing all they could for Angela out in New Mexico, so she focused on helping get the answers back in the lab. Dr. Goodman, the Director of the Jeffersonian Institute, and Hodgins were giving Zack a hard time. Willow understood the motivation behind this, to get Zack to finish at least one of his two in progress doctorates, but she feared that that might back fire.
