Title: Give Me A Reason To Stay
Prompt: flight
Words: 108
Summary: Kate starts flying again.
A/N: Another related part for the previous two drabbles.


The plane trips start after her visit with Sawyer (brief due to his less than enthusiastic reaction) and continue for years. She never enjoys the flight; hands always gripping the seat, waiting for turbulence to send her spiraling to the Island again (as Jack once did, except she doesn't want to go back). But she keeps flying, the constant fear a punishment of sorts for leaving her loved ones behind; dreading the moment she will land and face the world ahead.

Her parole already broken, she doesn't care who's chasing her now, never staying in one place long enough to. What does it matter? She isn't needed anyway.
