Frozen Soldier
I used to be an angel, then God condemned me. Locked away from what I am meant to be and with nothing but what he gave me to live from. He gave me nothing and hoped that his creation would fail but he didn't think of what we could become. Stronger, faster, capable of more than he ever was able to give us. This was his fault.
"So how you holding up," Naomi asks me later that night after dinner.
I shrug, "OK I guess. But I have been better." She looks me up and down.
"You talk to Jack yet?"
"No. I yelled at him not talked."
"You do realize without him, you'd still be out there, right." I look her in the eye.
"That's why I yelled at him," She looks confused, "I liked it out there."
"But you could've died."
"Oh well. Then I would've died, but as you can see I'm still very much alive." Bit, who had been pretending to be asleep across the room, stands up and walks out of the room.
"What's his problem?" I watch him leave and feel a bit guilty for what I said.
"Who knows," I answer Naomi, 'Me.' She shrugs.
"Oh well. That's moody Bit. He 's gotten moodier and moodier, since he's been here."
"Yeah?"
"Yep. It's become something you get used to." I force myself to yawn.
"Well I'm going to head to bed," I stand up, "Night."
"Night," she says back not moving. I walk out of the room and walk slower to my door. I stop outside and look down the hall. I turn away from my door and walk down the hall and around the corner. I knock on the door and walk in, shutting it again behind me. He sits on his bed with he legs over the opposite side from me, "Hey, crap- face." He laughs, but doesn't look up. I walk over and sit down next to him on the opposite side of the bed, "You mad at me again?"
"No," He says still not looking up, "Just wish you wouldn't talk like that. As corny as that sounds I wish you wouldn't."
"Sorry," I say turning around and putting my head on his shoulder and my arms around his waist, "I am."
"I know."
"But?"
"You still said it." I bite my lip.
"And I won't take it back," He closes his eyes, "I'm sorry, Bit. But I won't take back something I meant."
"Then don't mean it."
"I can't do that." He is silent for a while. I look around his room I haven't been in here with stuff in here for a while.
"Why'd Naomi ask you if you'd talked to Jack?"
"Because. I used to talk to him a lot before I left."
"Why?" I give him a pushy look and he looks pushy back.
"He helped me with stuff."
"Like?"
"Like finding you. And then Brad when he went to find you." He looks over at me and I let go and flop down on the bed, next to him.
"But why Jack Sisco, of all people?"
"He has a thing against leaving woman unconscious in bars." He looks at me even more strangely, "It's a long story. But simply I blacked-out in a bar and he was there and he brought me back here."
"Why?" I shrug.
"He never said." Bit looks down like he's thinking. I roll over on my back and look up at the ceiling. Something about it seems different in the dark. He flops down on his back and looks up too. I smile but don't say anything. We lay there and everything seen perfect. These are the things that made me come back. I'll miss the silence of the woods but I don't really care. I have the silence of the night and a little piece of mind at time like this.
I close my eyes and soon I fall fast asleep.

I wake the next morning and look up at the ceiling. I sit up and look around. I smile and lay back down. Bit wakes up and I start to laugh.
"What the bright idea? I'm trying to sleep."
"Sorry," I say, "Just got a little excited."
"About what?"
"I was actually asleep last night and I woke up the next morning!" He watches me kick my feet up and down.
"You lost me."
"I don't sleep except for at months at a time."
"So this is good?"
"YES!"
"Keep your voice down!" I slap my hands to my mouth, "You're a ditz." I laugh and smile behind my hands. I take my hands away and he smiles. I shriek a little through my lips. I lean over and kiss him on the lips again. We pull apart and I smile again. I wiggle up against him and he laughs again. He wraps his arms around my back and I put my hands on his chest.
I move my right hand over to his side and feel a thick raised patch of skin I stop smiling and look up at him. He's already looking down at me. He smiles sadly and I smile back. I put my head against his chest again and I bite my lip.
I don't remember how he got that scar but I know I was hurt then too. That whole part of my memory is blank I can only remember hearing Jamie shouting over the comlink asking if I was OK and the terrible Pain in my chest. That's all I could ever remember the next thing after that was when I was in the hospital and I saw Bit watching over me. I remember smiling and then it goes blank again.
I had never asked about what happened. No one ever liked talking about it. But I do remember that that was when Leon and Naomi came to stay with us and took off from battling. They haven't left since.
I hear Bit's breathing level off and hid eyes are closed. He's back asleep. I move out of his arms and walks to the door. I stick my head out to make sure that no one is coming then walk out and down the hall toward the kitchen.
Jamie is the only one in the room so I sit down and he looks over at me, "Morning Leena. You're up early. You sleep OK?" I nod.
"Yeah," I say. 'I actually slept.' I smile to myself and kind of wished that I was back in bed with Bit but it was better this way. No one knew and they wouldn't act stupid about it. That is why we didn't tell anyone because we knew they would act stupid and treat us like little kids.
But there were times that I wished they did know and we could act like it out in the open. Instead of sneaking around behind they're backs. There was a level of guilt attached to this for me and I know Bit doesn't like it sometimes. Then I again I guess I should just be glad that we're back together again. I like it better like this.
Brad walks into the room and gives me a knowing look. I look away from him and down at my hands in my lap. I glance back up at him and he's smiling.
"What," I mouth.
"I know a secret," he mouths back. I think a minute and I get it.
"You little shit!" I say. Jamie turns around.
"Maybe you should watch the corners, and people like me wouldn't know."
"You can't tell anyone. He'll kill me."
"I won't and for some reason I highly doubt he'd kill you."
"Either way. Promise."
"I promise. But it won't take long for them to figure out you do realize right."
"So. It's worked till now."
"What's worked," Jamie asks. I look over at him, "Right I didn't hear a thing." He goes back to cooking. I look back at Brad who is smiling again.
"All I have to say, is that it took damn long enough." I smile and look down at my feet.
"Not as long as you'd think." He raises and eyebrow. Then his eyes open wider.
"Now it makes seance," he says, "That's where you two always were. Now I get it." I'm tempted to laugh but don't. I close my eyes and let the memories play in my head. They don't hurt anymore.
