A/N: Lee gets the tag from Anders. I'm not sure if Anders ever gave it back to Kara. So, if he did, this is a little bit AU.

Rated: T

Season Three, after Maelstrom.

"Today, we lay to rest our fallen heroes. May they find peace with the gods. So say we all."

So say we all.

The rest of Roslin's words swarmed around Lee's ears, but he did not hear them. He could feel nothing, not even a squeeze on his arm from Cally.

He did not pay attention to the others leaving. He did not hear his father.

"Major," Adama said.

Lee looked at him, his hollow eyes only responding to the mention of his rank.

"It's time to go home, Lee."

"I have no home, not anymore."

Adama grabbed the third dog tag hanging from Lee's neck. He pulled. Lee yanked the tag away.

"This is my home," Lee said. "She is my home,"

"She's dead, Lee."

"Then so am I."
