Author's Note: Haha, another one. I really like Alex, and Darwin too. But Darwin died, and I got sad. But IT IS NOT SLASH! NO! But to continue on, I loved their friendship. So, here this is. Last thoughts of Darwin, so...weee...please R&R and enjoy! Shout out to NotMarge.
Darwin knew once Shaw absorbed Alex's energy, there was no way Darwin would live. He was frozen with shock. By the time Shaw had spoken those fated words, and forced the energy down his throat, Darwin was ready for death. When Shaw disappeared, Darwin began to spasm as his body tried to adapt. Adapt to survive, I guess I'm just not meant to survive. He then looked, and realized Alex hadn't left.
Even with the burning overtaking his body, he still forced himself to not show the fear. He finally saw Alex's face, and the horror and guilt that was clearly inscribed on it. Oh, no, Alex, this isn't your fault...he opened his mouth to tell Alex not to blame himself, but the words wouldn't come. Darwin hoped it came from the plasma burning him inside, and not that he actually blamed his friend. But even if I don't blame you, you blame yourself. And I wish you wouldn't.
As the heat raged inside, Darwin stretched out his hand in one last desperate attempt to tell Alex the message. But it was never to be delivered. The heat was unbearable now, and Darwin was paralyzed. Not your fault...before he could complete that thought, the inferno claimed him, and seared itself into Alex's memory forever.
