DAMON POV

Lucy was still mid-vision when she collapsed on the ground, completely exhausted from what she had just endured. 

"Lucy? You awake?" I shook her lightly. She slowly opened her eyes. She flung her arms around me and held on like I was a life raft. After about a minute, her breathing slowed, and she pulled away, wiping her tears. She apologized and stood, brushing the dirt off her legs.

"No sweat, you okay?"

"ya, fine!" She turned away from me, clearly embarrassed. 

"it's okay if you aren't fine, Lucy. You don't have to be tough for me." I reached for her arm, turning her around and pulling her into my chest. 

"Just take a minute. I am here. No one will hurt you." She started sobbing quietly. I don't think anyone ever comforted her. From what Axel said, she liked to be left alone, and I think everyone just gave her her space. What I know about tough, strong women is they just need to know they aren't alone.
