"Cause we don't leave a Man behind, especially when they never left us." Rocky, 10.12.07 Episode of Ghost Whisperer.
Chief skidded into the Forerunner ship, MJOLNIR armor creating sparks along the metallic structure. He stood, Cortana's voice coming over his radio.
"When you get to Earth, good luck." John turned, catching one last glimpse of the sky before the doors of the ship banged closed behind him.
"Once I'm through with Truth, I'll come and get you. I promise." Cortana watched the ship take off.
"Don't make a girl a promise, if you know you can't keep it."
Cortana looked up at HER Chief, before looking away from his brown eyes.
"But so much of me is wrong, out of place, you might be to late." John calmed the raging fear in his blood, before kneeling against the holo panel.
"You know me. When I make a promise..." Cortana's eyes opened wide as she pushed herself up to look into his own brown pools.
"You keep it."
Oh, I had fun with this one!
