Wonder

I've often wondered what life would have been like if I'd never found my sister.

If I'd never met Logan, or had a child.

Some days I come to the space needle to just look out across the city, or the water, or look at the stars and wonder about the what ifs.

For instance – What if Logan had never been shot and paralyzed. It's amazing what he's overcome, but it's still a wonder of what life would've been like if he had never lost the use of his legs.

Sketchy added excitement to our lives – what if he'd never been born?

What if I'd never been born?

What if I hadn't been raised at Manticore, or on the run? Or what if I'd been caught? Would I have been working for Lydecker? Would I've been helping to re-capture the others? Would I be dead by now?

Who knows. Maybe. Maybe there is a god, and He planned this. But then again, there's no such thing as a god. There is only man.

Still every so often I'm going to sit here and wonder about life.

Whether my sister is happy with her life. Whether Lexi and Doni and Ube will ever be truly safe. If the three of them will ever understand what they are.

I'll wonder whether Bling, Sarah, and Doug will be friends with us forever.

But then again, life is life. What if's will only trip me up in the long run. I must only believe in the truth.

Except…It's more fun to wonder.

Kai stood up and looked down at the base of the needle. Max and Logan were sitting in the car, patiently watching her. On Max's face was a smile, and she patted her swollen stomach.

And thus, life goes on.
