Katie clung to him as if she were drowning.
"Don't let me go," she whispered into his shirt. He had one arm around her while the other aimed and fired, and she had never felt more secure in her life.
"Would I?" He asked shortly, swinging her around so that his body was between her and the current line of fire. Bullets and screams tore through the air around them as he cut a path through the sea of men and Agents that fought on every side of them. She pressed her face harder against his chest, wishing it could block out the sounds of battle. She had thought she would be ready for it, but here they were and she was barely holding back her tears.
"I'm sorry," she said with a little sniff, "I'm not strong enough."
"You will be, when you need to be," Shadow replied. "For now, you are alive. That is enough."
