Disclaimer: The last one of the AU series that I have put together. Enjoy.
Author's Note: I would recommend that you read Final Moments and Come and Gone first. Not required, but suggested.
They are standing together, overlooking Caprica. Her face is sad, and all he can do is cover her hand over the railing. He watches as the centurions march about their patrols, and watches her close her eyes and trying to let go of the place she has called home for most of her life. He blinks, and she has retreated back into her body in eternal rest.
He turns around to see her flesh. Her hand is cold, but her touch is warm. A touch only he and one other can see. It will be a wonderful future, with her beside him. But death's cold hands come to retrieve what he has worked so hard to save. She is truly cold now, and he is truly lost. God isn't pleased.
When God relieves him of service, he is disoriented. Her gentle hands lift him up. Her smile is warm, and makes him want to grab her and have his way with her. You're dead.
He then understands. He isn't one of them anymore. He is human. Because of her. Because of her, he is whole. He can live in peace without pretending now. Her embrace gives him peace, something that he has never had. There were always rebellions to put down, other models to terminate, and males that wanted what was his.
Now, between the two of them it is a better future. In another world in another time, there are none of what he used to be. There is just him and her, two normal human beings, who are deeply in love.
