Restrained Passion
by dinkydow
"Take me!"
Nirrti, I beg you, don't take Carter - not her. She's too valuable to our world - to me.
"Take me!"
It's my duty to protect, honor, and defend my team, but Nirrti's goons took Carter and then Jonah - not me.
It's my job to take the heat, distract the bad guys and protect them - I didn't - couldn't.
"Take me!"
Now, with Carter's head resting on my shoulder, I can protect and honor her to the best of my ability . . . watch her turn into water like the others. Honor and comfort her - till death us do part.
God, take me.

"Sorry, sir."
My fascination with Nirrti's genetic machine almost made the pain bearable. Almost. The pain is getting worse.
Sorry, sir.
The Colonel said I'm going to be all right, but I don't think I am. I know something is different inside of me. Knowing it is one thing, but feeling it? I'm scared.
Sorry, sir.
As my CO, I've always leaned on him, depended on his strength, so laying my head on his shoulder now seems right. If only things had been different. At least we can be together this much before I . . .
Sorry, sir.
I'm dying.
Sorry . . . Jack.
