Author's Note: So, I love the Crow movies but my one complaint with them is that we never get to see the couples meet in the afterlife. So this is my attempt at fixing that. This one is about my favorite of the Crow movies, Salvation. I absolutely loved Alex and Lauren's story and wanted them to meet in the afterlife. So here it is.

Forever
He'd finished it. Getting retribution for my murder. I'd known he would. Alex, no matter what I'd put him through or how much we'd fought, had loved me. Oh, I'd loved him too. With everything I had. I remember, in my last moments, hoping that he would be okay. I'd never dreamed that he would be arrested for my murder. That we would die in the electric chair. I'd watched it, the three years of agony he'd endured as he waited to join me, his death, how he'd gotten retribution for what they'd done to me. Alex had seen it, had seen everything they had done to me. If it could have been possible, it would have killed him to know what they'd done to me. Still, he'd done it. Not only that, but he'd saved my little sister too. All of it, he'd done for me.
I waited for him to join me. This wasn't how I'd wanted it to end. Not by a long shot. I had hoped that he'd live a long and full life before joining me. I'd hoped the world for him. But I was happy all the same. Happy to see the face of the man I'd loved. Happy to see the man that had avenged my death. He walked towards me slowly, face lit up with the grin I'd loved so much, and I felt myself running for him. He took me in his arms, holding me tightly with his face pressed against my hair. His scent filled my nostrils and I smiled. Good Lord it felt good to feel his arms, to smell the scent I'd missed so much. We held each other for what could have been years, neither of us willing to let the other go.
"I can't believe you're real. That we're actually together." he whispered, forehead pressed against mine.
"You did say you wanted to be with me forever. Well, now we've got it."
He kissed me then, long and slow. When we pulled apart he whispered, "I'm sorry Lauren. I'm sorry about that night. If I wouldn't have fought with you, none of this would have happened."
I smiled, brushing a tear from his cheek. "Hush. It would have happened. Maybe they wouldn't have framed you, but I would have died. I snooped in something I should have left alone. Alex, don't blame yourself. Please..."
He sighed. "I guess you're right. You always were too stubborn for your own good."
I laughed, wrapping an arm around his waist. "Come on, Alex. Let's go meet our maker."
He smiled at me. "You haven't already done that?"
Shaking my head I said, "Nope. I was waiting for you to join me."
And that was it. Together, we walked through Heaven's gates. Forever was ours.
