So.... :::She thought she might understand now:::
Something terrible was going to happen to me...? But you changed things so I'd be here instead?

I tried. But the results were not as anticipated. It merged the realities, and now the Brink doesn't have a place to send you back to.

What do you mean 'not as anticipated?' what happened to me- What's GOING to happen....to... well, I'm here... I don't understand!
:::She tried hushing herself to think clearly for a moment, but more disturbing thoughts interupted:::
If it hasn't happened to me yet how did you see it... :::But she stopped. That was a dumb one...the brink is out of time so...:::
Alright, if it NEVER happens to me, because obviously I'm here now and I'm not going back, how could you have seen it?

Because I'm not affected by the flow of time and reality as the rest of you are. Even a banished Angel is still an Angel.

:::She rubbed her face, trying to make sure that at she understood at least part of it:::
So, I'm safe now... this won't happen to me then? Because I'm here... I'll never get caught and I won't be turned into a machine?

Yes, but you must understand.... You can never go back.

I think that's been made painfully clear.
:::She said, a hint of anger still nagging at her voice:::
But why...?

Because, regardless of my intentions, I took that choice from you.

W...why would you do that?

Because..... Because I was terrified. I was terrified that I had lost you. That I'd never be able to get you back. I was frightened. I've lost so many.... I couldn't handle it. So I did what I did. Perhaps it was a mistake. It was definately the wrong thing to do. But at least I knew you were safe. At the time, that's all that mattered.

:::She shifted on the floor, so that her knees were curled up to her chest. She rested her chin on them, exhausted
Cora thought for a moment, a few things become slightly more lucid. She spoke just loud enough for Tavin to be able to hear her:::
You could have just told me never to go back... I would have listened, Captain. It's not as though... :::She hesitated::: I ever wanted to have to go back to that.
:::She was still again, the next thought frightening her a bit:::
Is that the only reason I ever came here? Did the brink only ever pick me up, because you didn't want to see me turn into whatever it is you saw?

*Tavin shakes his head*
..... No.
*With that, Tavin disappears*

:::Cora shuffles around to face where Tavin had been standing a moment ago, with a pained and abandoned expression on her face:::
Captain..?
:::Why did he have to leave then, she wondered. She sat in place on the floor, hugging her knees. She'd thought that this might be why... she'd wondered what it would be like if she knew she never had to go back again. Somehow she didn't think it would feel quite like this. Quite as lonely as she felt...while in the time she came from. Until of course someone came to keep her company. It was all she had left now:::

After a long sit... honestly how long, no one could tell, Cora finally got to her feet. She staggered a bit, her legs still feeling mutanous, and slowly made her way back to her room.
*Exit Cora*

*Alex fades in wearing slacks and a fishnet top, he's carrying a large box of chocolates in a heart shaped box. He smiles and sits down at the nearest table*
