Author Note: This story revolves around the last episode of Strike Back season 1 and the first episode of season 2, Project Dawn. What happened to John Porter bugged me like a thorn stuck in my craw, so I had to fix it. This is my take on how things would have gone if he had someone to play the part of his knight in shining armor. The goal of this story is to avert his canonical death, and introduce a different first meeting to the other two main characters, Damien Scott and Michael Stonebridge. The story will develop into a series, with the two of them taking over the reins while Porter retires.

Summary: Having finally put his demons to rest, John Porter didn’t expect to survive the aftermath of his last mission. It certainly wasn’t a cause for celebration when he did, since his short-lived reprieve frizzled out with his capture by the CIA.
There would be no rescue. The CIA would do their best to use him and dispose of him when he inevitably proved he wasn’t worth the effort. Those were the irrefutable facts.
When the salvation arrives in the most unexpected manner possible, John might have to revise that conclusion, and accept that there might be one more mission to see through before he could hand over the reins for good.
