Kara's thoughts Maelstrom. One Shot

We all must accept our destinies. I have tried to run away, but in the end I see that you and I will never be unless I pass through the storm. You are not strong enough yet to follow me, but you will be.

Fade II
Post Finale
(not part of Path to Phoenix)
Lee watched the most important person in his life fade away. In fact, she had not faded as he watched. She had already been dead some time, but he had denied it. He had hoped so badly to see her again, wanted it.
In the end, it was everyone who loved her that revived her ghost. First Leoben found her soul. A part of that unknown being that called itself Gaius' god revealed itself to her through her image of Leoben. Lee hadn't known the extent of her vision. He hadn't known that she had sex with him. But even if he did, Lee did not care.
Lee remembered the day he met her. The day that was most precious to him and filled with the most regret. If Zak had not have died, maybe they would have broken up and she could have ended up with Lee.
They did end up together. Across stars and death itself, Starbuck and Apollo reunited one last time. But life had become ugly for so many. His wife, ex-wife, killed herself. Her husband became closer to the perfect machine he had always known he was.
Even as her ghost walked away and bid Sam farewell, he knew he would see her on the other side.
It's time to go back, Kara, Sam's voice came to her mind, He'll become a ghost after you, a ghost in a living shell.
