You Can't

Mal's point of view. One Shot.

A/N: Don't get mad at me for grammar. Review.

You can't take the sky from me.

Beat me if you will. Shoot at me. Hate me. Love me. Laugh at me. I don't care.

Kill them. I don't care. I am me. I keep going. I need no one. I am one.

Ah, hell. I can't even fool myself. I know I love 'em. They're my crew. My family. I will fight for them. And because of that, they fight for me. It's symbiotic or some such. We both benefit. I like to say they're parasites. Eating me an' Serenity from the inside out. But no. Wait. Yeah. They eat at me. They have done something with my heart. I think it works now.

So beat me if you will. Not them. Shoot at me. Not them. Hate me. Love them. Laugh with me at them. Ha. I do care. I am not one without them.

You can't take my sky (family) from me.
