"Hey kiddo." Mike said simply as he stared at Sarah.
"Hey Mikey, miss me?" Sarah asked as she cocked her gun back.
"Yea. Actually I did." Mike said simply as he slumped down onto the ruined couch. "I was reminiscing, before you blew up half the apartment."
"Okay. This is not what I expected." Sarah stated as she put her gun down. "No witty retorts, no charging blindly into a fight. What's wrong Mikey?" Sarah asked as she walked over and sat down next to him.
"Like you care." Mike said simply. "Why don't you just kill me and get this over with."
"Okay. Now that's not the Michael Nagrite I know." Sarah said simply as she crossed her legs. "We may be mortal enemies now, but we were still best friends." Sarah stated sympathetically as she brushed a few blond locks away from her face. "What's wrong Mikey?"
"Betsy's dead." Mike said simply as he looked away from Sarah.
"I'm sorry Mikey." Sarah said as she put a hand on his shoulder. "I mean, I know you know that I hated her with every fiber of my being, and that I wanted her dead myself, but I'm still sorry. Well, not really."
"Thanks. I think." Mike said simply as he stared at his old girlfriend. "You know, I forgot how easy it was to talk to you."
"I know. I guess we've been fighting each other for too long, that we just plain forgot about everything we shared." Sarah said as she put her legs up on a piece of ruble. "So you wanna talk about it?"
"I'd rather live in solace with the pain."
"Same old melodramatic Teenager that I fell in love with." Sarah said as she popped a piece of gum into her mouth. "You really need to see a shrink Mikey. It'll do you good."
"I could say the same to you. Except by all right's your dead." Mike retorted.
"And he comes out swinging." Sarah stated. "But seriously Mikey, I was given a second chance in life. And the only way I can stay alive is by doing what my boss says. And right now, he says you gotta suffer some."
"Why? What did I ever to this guy?" Mike asked as he faced the blond. "And who the hell is he? How did you come back? I've got so many questions, and not a single place to start." Mike said simply as he buried his head in his hands and rubbed his temples.
"I know Mikey. I felt the same way." Sarah said as she looked up at him. "You know, part of me still loves you. You never did anything to hurt me. But I died because of you. And I can never forgive you for that."
"Christ will you get over it. It wasn't my freaking fault." Mike said as he stood up. "My powers emerged when they did because they did. I didn't have control of it"
"And I was shot twenty three time because of it. You know what its like to be shot?" Mike just gave her a dumb look. "Oh yea. I've shot you more than that… Sorry." Sarah said simply as Mike stared at her strangely.
"I loved ya kiddo. But we were to similar to have ever stayed together." Mike stated. "We both loved life way to much. You still do, which is why you're trying to kill me so that you can stay alive. But me... I've lost way to much to care about carrying on anymore."
"Bullshit." Sarah said simply. "The Mike Nagrite I know cares about life to the fullest. You may be a melodramatic asshole, but you still like the thrill."
"Not since Betsy." Mike said simply. "She helped me get over you, and now I've got no one. Not even the Brotherhood can help me with this." Mike stated as he turned his back. "I'm alone Sarah, just like I was after you died. I… I missed you. A lot."
"I know. I would have felt the same way." Sarah said simply as she walked over and hugged Omega. "We still care about each other, don't we?"
"Yea. We do. But I know now that even if you didn't die, we would have broken up eventually."
"I was actually planning on breaking it off that night." Sarah confessed. "I was hoping we still could have been friends though."
"Probably the best kiddo." Mike said simply as he faced Sarah. "But now, we're to different people know. We've been through shit that has…"
"Changed us as people and altered our outlook on life." Sarah finished as they're faces drew closer together. "We're mortal enemy's now…"
"Don't even think about kissing me." Mike stated.
"Moron." Sarah stated as she pulled away.
"Sorry kiddo. But that would be a little to weird for me."
"Same here." Sarah said as she sat back down.
"So do we fight?"
"Na. Lets just watch some TV."
"You blew up the set." Mike stated, pointing to the giant hole in the wall.
"oops." Sarah stated dryly.

"She's talking with him?" Essex said in disgust as he watched the monitor that view the apartment where Omega and Sarah where. "That wasn't in the mission protocol. She was to get some more of his blood, and remind him of the loss of herself, further driving him into an emotional hole." Essex ranted. "Though I supposed that this could do some more damage to his psyche. He still loves Psylocke, and he's just using Sarah as a means to help him try to forget that pain. But when Sarah tries to kill him later on, that emotional attachment he just formed again will be shattered, and he'll have lost his first love all over again. So maybe he'll end up further in the hole. My, my, my. Sarah you are a devious girl." Essex said simply as he arched an eyebrow. "Now to get to work on part two." Essex said as he turned his attention to a vat with a floating body in a green fluid like substance. "Elisabeth Braddock I presume?" Essex said with a sinister smile.

"That was fun." Sarah said, as she got up.
"Yea." Mike said simply as he looked at her. "So are we gonna try an kill each other now?"
"Do you feel better?" Sarah asked.
"Not really. Believe it or not, talking with you only made me miss Betsy even more."
"I kind of figured as much. " Sarah said. "I'll be back when your in better spirits, and we'll finish this then." Sarah said as she picked up her gun and left. "Later Mikey."
"Later kiddo." Mike said simply as he looked around. "Man, that was weird." Mike thought as he grabbed his bag and walked out of the ruined apartment. "Back on the road it is then." Mike said simply as he walked to his car, started it and drove off.

"What the hell was that?" Essex asked as Sarah returned.
"You wanted the kid to hurt, and that's what he's doing. No body knows Mike like I do." Sarah stated. "And he's dead inside. There's no emotion, no feelings in there. He's done for." Sarah said simply. There was no reason for me to drive him further." Sarah said simply.
"Really." Essex said with a smile. I think I'll pay our dear boy a visit then." Essex said as he walked away.
"Mikey, the real test begins now." Sarah said simply as she walked away.

A dusty Dirt Road
My fears come alive…
In this place where I once died…
Demons dreaming, nowhere to hide…
I just needed to Re-Align!
The radio blasted as Mike drove down another dusty road. Suddenly a figure walked right in front of his car and Mike slammed into it. But instead of running it over, the El Camino's hood caved into the figure, stopping Omega dead in his tracks.
"What the hell?" Mike asked as he got out of the car. "Look Buddy. I don't know if you have a death wish but… Essex." Mike said when he recognized the form as his fathers' lab partner, Dr. Nathaniel Essex.
"Actually. That's just a name I use." Essex said as his form morphed away from a frail doctor to that of a seven-foot tall man dressed in blue straps with a torn cape floating around. His white skin contrasted with the red diamond imbedded in his fore head and he smiled a shark's grin. "My real name is Mr. Sinister…" Sinister said with a smile as Mike stared at him dryly. "And I have an offer for you."

What kind offer could Sinister have for Omega? Believe me, you'll want to find out next chapter, in the stunning conclusion to Journey of the last. Later all,
