A/N: An odd theory of mine is that it took Chief a few months to get back to Earth on the Forerunner ship, bitch all you want about it, I dun care.


AI's shouldn't have feelings. So many reports said that, and Cortana was beginning to think they had been right. If she didn't feel anything, she wouldn't want to cry right now. She had told John to leave her behind, to escape before it was too late. He had wanted to take her with him, but she'd stopped him. It was enough to make sure he was safe, far away from here. It had been two months, two long hard months of staving off Graveminds offenses. Cortana sighed, she knew that John hadn't wanted to leave her behind, she had told him to go, to save the world. He had left because she asked him too.

Then why was it, that she was feeling like he'd abandoned her?


A/N: Yeah, blame AkuRoku Angst Fics for this one.
