Rating: G
Spoilers/Warning: Will make no sense at all if you haven't seen Wasteland.
Summary: A new beginning, the sad kind.
Archiving: MX100.
Note: Mostly because of Vill. A little because of Jesse. A tiny little because I liked the ep. ;)




One night, he appears in her office, unnoticed, unannounced.

"Jesse." She's not surprised. It's as if all these years she's been expecting her former fiancée to reappear. His eyes look older. Tired.

When he collapses, she's barely there to catch him. He melts into her, his head on her lap. She can only hold him, feeling every tremor going through his body that seems tattered from fighting the "good fight" for his kind.

She swallows sudden tears and caresses his cheek. Why come back now? Their beginning has ended a long ago.

And yet...

"White picket fences, Alisha," he murmurs.
