Remember Miranda?" If it had been him instead, things would've been better. She could help people. She wasn't him. He suspected he was agreeing with Mike's basic point but they were using different words for similar ideas. "Saying I don't know if I mind if I die, not that I'm going to throw my life away. If I were gonna do that I'd just do it." Huh, that got dark. No pun intended. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

But she was willing to sacrifice herself if she had to for those kids, is my point." He paused for a long moment, remembering the service, remembering being wheeled out of that school, covered in tiny pieces of what used to be his friend. His voice hitched for a moment before he remembered to be strong. "...I wish she were here right now. I should've saved her."

People die if you do." Eric wouldn't've had her die on his watch. Goddamn Eric. He wasn't sure he meant a lot of what he said, but he would cut off his right arm to have Eric's ability, or to be him. Why did everything get to fall in his lap, while the world spat in Aaron's eye every day? Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...
