Title: Hope Reborn

Author: Mulder's Girl (Hot4Harper01 everywhere but here)

Spoilers: The season 4 finale

Summary: Right after the finale, Beka finds hope.

Disclaimers: I don't own Andromeda, Tribune does. If I did, I wouldn't be writing this, because the s4 finale wouldn't have happened and Doyle would have never existed.

This is my attempt at a Beka fic. It's set right after the S4 finale. I didn't like it and refuse to accept it, and I may just continue this if I'm encouraged.

She couldn't believe it. The damn magog just wouldn't give up. Even after she had gone into slipstream, they held on. She watched as she bumped another one against the wall of the slipstream, and it exploded.

"Serves you right." She told the dead magog hatefully.

Because they had destroyed her family. Taken the happiest years of her life and undone every moment as if it never happened. She was the only one that chose to leave, the only one that chose to survive.

She could understand Rommie's decision, her first loyalty was to Dylan. Trance believed that Dylan had some kind of purpose, she felt she had to stay to help him "save the universe". Yeah, right. Harper's choice was the one she couldn't understand. He was loyal to Dylan over her, his big sister. He would rather die for a lost cause than live with her. She didn't think she'd ever get over that.

"Quit whining and pay attention to the slipstream before you become magog food, Valentine." She scolded herself as she watched the last one go. "Finally", she muttered, just as she exited slipstream.

She knew she had to go back. She knew the battle was over, and she was sure of which side had won. But she had to make sure. If there were any chance that any of them were still alive....

About 10 minutes later, back at the Archology.

There was nothing left. She was expecting another magog swarm, someone waiting to blow her up. But not even Archology was still there. It was literally a big nothing.

"Did they get that place to slipstream?" She asked herself, not believing it. But it could be possible... she just didn't know if she wanted to let herself hope.
