Welcome to my second Bourne fic. Takes place mid-Ultimatum. Enjoy.
He sent her away because he was seeing her all over again – and he wasn't about to let her die twice.
Why, why was Nicky…so much like Marie?
Why'd she cut her hair, dye it like Marie's?
Why?
But this time…this time around he won't make the same mistakes. Fire burnt him once – or was it water and drowning – and he wasn't going to let it have its way twice. He won't help Nicky dye her hair the way he helped Marie dye hers. He won't cut Nicky's hair for her.
He wonders for a split-second if Nicky is trying to be Marie – if Nicky is trying to take her place, or if she just has a death wish and wants to die like Marie.
Every day, he's haunted by Marie and he can't have Nicky around to remind him.
He wonders if he and Nicky had something before he lost his memories. But he shuts that thought up immediately. He wasn't about to take another person with him. He wouldn't let another one die.
He wasn't about to love and lose twice.
You realize that you love someone in the same moment you realize that you could lose them, and Jason just realized he could lose Nicky like he lost Marie.
Better send her away before he cares too much to let her go.
So what did you think? Please review, it would mean a lot to me!
Love always,
Lily
