"Oh my god...is that him? Are you gonna be okay Blue?" Piper asked nervously. She knew Blue had been frozen in Vault 111. She knew the whole story. How Blue watched her child taken away from her and her husband murdered while she was helpless to do anything. But the reality didn't sink in until the visited the Vault and she could see Blue's husband dead in the Cryogenic Freezer. They had just needed an electronic part to repair the water purifier of a local town and the Vault was the only place where there might be didn't want to cause Blue turmoil. She couldn't even comprehend how it must feel. Though, watching sadness grip over partner, torment spreading across her face, she knew what it felt like to be incapable of doing anything.
"He...was my everything Piper," Blue mumbled as tears slid down her face and she fell to her knees in front of the freezer. "I don't know what I'm doing anymore. This isn't right." Piper panicked, she didn't know what to do. She wanted to console Blue but she didn't know how. "What could I even say? Hey Blue, sorry you were frozen and everyone you know and loved is dead," Piper thought to herself. Blue continued to cry breaking Piper's heart. It hurt to see the normally calm and confident women she loved falling apart at the seams. Piper sat next to Blue and wrapped her arms around her while she cried. She thought to herself, "I may not be able to say or do anything to make her feel better, but at least I can be here for her." Blue sobbed and cried and screamed until she couldn't anymore. She curled into Piper's arms and buried her face into the young reporters lap saying dejectedly "It's not fair Piper...I didn't ask for this...this is just...all sorts of fucked up...why me?" Piper stroked Blue's hair saying soothingly, "I don't know Blue...I don't know...I wish I could make it all better." Blue looked up wiping away tears, "It may be the most tragic, awful thing in my life but it brought me to you." Blue pressed her lips onto Piper's, catching her by surprise. Piper melted into the kiss,and lost herself in bliss. Piper pulled Blue into her harder and harder as if to keep her there safe forever. A moment later, Blue pulled away from the kiss with a sad smile on her face, "I love you Piper. I...I'm not perfect...I'm broken...but you make me feel complete. Even in this place...where I feel my worst, you make me have hope." Piper sighed internally, hearing those words made her brain shut down. Hearing the person she viewed as beautiful, confident, and flawless value her so highly, even under the dark circumstances, made her feel like she was floating on cloud nine. Every moment with Blue was like being on cloud nine.
