out_thereTitle: Road Trip
Fandom: Prison Break
Characters: Michael, Sara, Alex
Word Count: 240
Sara likes CDs, Michael likes silence and Alex likes the radio, so the road trip from San Diego to Chicago is spent in equal rounds of each. When Michael drives it's quiet, and Sara and Alex spend the hours watching the warm brown stretches of Arizona passing outside. When Sara drives, it's Ani DiFranco and the Scissor Sisters, poetry set to acoustic melodies or mindless pop music. She sings under her breath and knows every song by heart.
As soon as Alex gets behind the wheel, he switches the radio on and scans until he finds a classic rock station. He taps his fingers on the steering wheel with the drum beats, nods his head in time with AC/DC and sings along when Queen starts playing. He doesn't sing softly and self-consciously like Sara, but grins into the mirror as he mangles a few lines of Bohemian Rhapsody. In the backseat, Michael laughs and makes a crack about watching Wayne's World one too many times, but all three of them join in by the last section.
They stop at Denver. Pull into a motel and groan as they unfold themselves out of the car. Well, Sara groans and Michael complains about sore legs and an aching back. Alex only rolls his eyes and strides up to the manager's office to pay for a room, but there's a noticeable stiffness to his gait.
They let Alex have the first shower.
