[quote][b]Wick (Sep 30, 2002 09:24 p.m.):[/b] [b][2]ENS. KATERA TERRENCE[/2][/b] [i]But...but...[/i] Wick stared at the name sewn into the jacket like she could will it out of existence, but reality would not bend to accommodate her, and the neat thread pattern remained untouched. [i]He's dead! He's [/i]dead[i]! I saw his body, I saw them wheel him out, and I saw how many darts he took. There's no way he could have survived that much tranquilizer. He had more of it than he had blood left by the time he collapsed. I...I remember his face. He was dead...wasn't he?[/i] In the face of Katera's undeniable proof, her previous [i]assumptions[/i] - for that was what they had been, after all - shattered and sliced into the layers of warm security she'd wrapped herself in for the last four years, peeling them away like skin. New probabilities bloomed, surrounded her and began to contract into incontestable fact. Nathan had not died; she'd been too distracted with Jordan's wellbeing to pay attention to his monitors. She'd seen the men wheel him out, but his face had not been covered. She remembered that face, completely lax, appearing peacefully asleep. She realized now that that was why she'd thought he was dead. Only death could have taken the fury out of Asmodeus and left Angel behind. But then where had he been? Not Command School. The expression on Kat's face told her it didn't matter in the least. Wherever he'd been during those four long years, the look on her face said he was here now, and Wick was beginning to realize how precarious her position really was. If Kat had Nathan back, it was extremely unlikely she would be interested in being [i]friends[/i]. They would always be sisters, but that held very little comfort for her now. For Kat, blood ties were never a reason [i]not[/i] to injure someone. It just meant there was probably always reason to shed a little [i]affection[/i]. [i]"See, Wick? I know perfectly well how things are."[/i] Her voice returned, hesitant and a little desperate. "Kat..." she swallowed, the desert in her throat making it painful. "...I never meant to hurt you..." The words came in little bursts, and the sincerity in her tone made her cringe. Showing weakness was the worst thing she could have done...but it was true, and lying to Kat would be like lying to herself. It wouldn't work for very long.[/quote]
