"I'll always be with you, Remmy. When you need me -- I'll be there..."

Several weeks after Rembrandt Brown returned to his home, he was still trying his hardest to deal with all the loss he had suffered. His home had finally been reached but that was no longer enough. Times had become more complicated than just trying to reach home. As long as there was still hope of returning Quinn to his original form and finding Colin, the journey would not end after just reaching "home". Rembrandt's world no longer felt like his home anymore. The Kromaggs had destroyed what it used to be. The virus worked and he had been able to spread it to other humans with help. The Kromaggs would be completely wiped out soon enough but that would still not make this world home. Any people he knew were gone and all places he was familiar with were gone to.

Sleep would not come easy to Rembrandt. When he closed his eyes and tried to think of nothing his mind would fill of thoughts he no longer wanted to be bothered with. It was painful to remember Wade, what she went through and what she had become. Rembrandt could push this thought away but only for others to fill its spot. The lonliness he fealt was a greater pain than anything he had ever felt. He was seperated from Quinn, Colin, Maggie and the others by an immesurable distante. Now when he fealt this the greatest, he remembered the moments after leaving Wade the last time he had seen her.

Wade made a sacrifice, in doing so she saved not only the sliders but countless others. Rembrandt stayed behing with her as this happened as the others left; Mallory, Diana and Maggie. After Wade returned Rembrandt to them he felt something very strange. Memories of Wade that felt very new to him, yet familiar. Then he heard something that souned as if it came from his own mind.

"I'll always be with you, Remmy. When you need me -- I'll be there...". Rembrandt felt as though it was created by him, he put the words in Wade's mouth. Then the feeling was gone.

"She's gone... but somehow... I sense...", Rembrandt had tried to explain the feeling to the others but could not find the proper words to describe it.

Thinking of that moment brought comfort to Remrandt. He could not be sure why, maybe it was the hope it brought of Wade still living in some form or maybe it was something else. Either way, Remrandt could sleep that night, better than he had in weeks.
