Fighting Love

A Terminator Salvation What If Story, spoilers here if you haven't seen the movie. Blair/Marcus pairing.

So here is the first chapter of my first ever story here, please review after you read!

That Kiss. Why didn't it leave Blair like before? She had a few flings here and there, not lasting a few weeks, but this was something else. She was in love. With a machine. The way he grabbed her in his strong arms and let his lips touch hers, it was a unbreakable moment. Kate, Kyle, Barnes and Star were there watching this doomed couple forming the thing that had being boiling ever since they met. When he let her go, she knew this was goodbye.

Marcus lay on the bed, looking at the woman he too has fallen for. Why didn't this happen? They could have been together, lasting more than his preivous relationships before he gave his body up at Skynet. Their eyes met for the last time, a small smile came across his face as the woman he loves will be the last memory he will have. "Now Marcus, I want you to count down from ten." Kate said, injecting the knock-out drug in his arm. Blair couldn't take it no more, she rushed out of the tent with a sharp cry. Marcus leaned his head up, watching her fade from his vision. The drug was making him relax, his voice slurred as he counted down to five where his beautiful eyes drooped to closed. Kate let out a sigh as she looked at her near death husband, John Connor. "I hope to God he will be alright." She mumbled, begining the operation.

Kyle and Star left the medical tent, letting Barnes help Kate if he was needed. Star was quietly weeping while Kyle felt broken. The man that saved him through the horrifying machines is giving his life for Connor, something that seemed too intense for him to do. He had to be there for little Star, he was the only person to look after during the times when they were alone. Marcus seemed to care for the little girl too, now he was gone it was just Kyle and Star again only they werrn't alone. He looked at her, the tears flowing down her small face. "Don't worry, Star. He did it to save us, I know that." He said in a soft tone. Star seemed to stop crying but he knew that she was broken hearted inside.

He turned away to find Blair on the ground with her head in her hands and her legs against her chest, she seemed such a broken figure lost the person that she loved throughout this journey. "Stay here, I'm going to see if Blair's okay." Kyle ordered Star which she nodded, settling her little body on the ground and watched Kyle walk away from her.

Blair's cries were long and painful to hear, it would break anyone's hearts even if they were cold people. Images of herself and Marcus played in her mind, the first meeting, the fireplace where she wrapped her arms around his brood body just wanting warmth though deep down she was instantly attracted to him. She let him free after finding out he was a machine, the others thought he was from Skynet out to get rid of them all but only she could see the man underneath the machinery. Though she looked up to John Connor, she would rather have Marcus with her and letting Connor die instead of this. Selfish she may be but she couldn't help her overgrown feelings, some of anger this was happening but the biggest was her feelings for Marcus.

Before she met him, she was a strong and a fighter against the machine. She never let her feelings get the best of her, the flings in the past meant nothing to her not even her first kiss mattered. Now all that had changed, what would become of Blair the tough badass of them all?

She felt a hand touch her shoulder gently, making her jump from her troubling thoughts. She looked up to see Kyle Resse staring down at her, concern written on his young handsome face. "This may be a stupid question but are you okay?" He asked, softly. Blair wiped away her constant flow of tears with her sleeve, nodding uncontrollably. "I'm fine," She replied, her voice weak and breaking. As she tried to remove herself from the ground, her ankle gave way and she landed hard on her bottom. A nasty sting of pain shot through her body, she hissed in agony feeling frustated tears forming against her eyes. "Would you like some help?" Kyle asked her, offering his hand which she took without answering. The pain was unbearable, she needed to be alone not annoyed by Kyle's ongoing conceren. "I'm going to lay down, let me know when Kate's down and if the operation is a success will you?" She asked, not looking at his eyes but of the medical tent. "Sure, don't worry. Me and Star are going to get something to eat, Barnes said it may take hours until she's done." Kyle replied. "Good, see you later."

Blair began to walk away, her eyes pointing at the ground. Kyle watched her figure distant from him, there he felt such compassion for her. If only he could find a way to save Marcus and make her happy again, then everything would be alright. With a heavy sigh, he went to Star picking her up from the ground and went towards the food tent.

Blair headed towards a empty tent, not too far from the medical one where her soul mate lay to save the man that was the leader of them all. She pulled the door, pausing to take one final look behind her. She hoped that Marcus would at least give John the rightful heart to save him, though his heart was hers and hers alone. She turned away, collasping on the bed letting the pain and tears overtake her body. Within minutes, she fell in a troubled sleep of haunting dreams.
