[The Beatrix who comes back to the Barge is not the one who left. Yes, she's the same person; she looks the same, except a bit older. She's rounded the corner into her early forties now, but it's not age that weathered her face. She looks exhausted, ashen-skinned and with dark shadows under her reddish eyes. So many things have changed from the last time she was here.]
Ten years.
[Ten years of monumental changes. She'd gone back; she'd seen Budd dead; she'd blinded Elle and killed Bill. She'd lost her enemies, at least she thought. And she'd gotten the most precious gift imaginable, which hadn't been revenge.
Ten years of motherhood, ten years of hugs and growing pains and tantrums and tears. Ten years of watching the most beautiful little girl in the world grow into a beautiful young woman, bright-eyed with a smile that always dazzled her. Easily the most perfect daughter any mother had ever had.
And then in the last week, it had all changed again.]
Well, I'm back.
[Ben]
I'm sorry about Zack. But I'm glad you're here. [Very, very glad. Much more relieved than she can say, if her voice cracking is any indication.]
[Ellie]
[This one is more difficult. She hopes to God Ellie's still here, and at the same time is afraid to see her. Too close for comfort.] Are you okay, honey?
[Vin]
How was she? Is she all right?
[Anya]
If you don't have an aversion to rock music, I have some things for you.
[Arthas]
[This one, at least, is an easy message.] Why the hell is this sword in my room?
[Lab Personnel]
If any of you have a working knowledge of chemistry, I have a favor to ask.

Welcome back.

Date: 2013-11-15 05:38 am (UTC)[Ten years, in Bea's opinion, is no time at all. In that span of time she'd watched B.B. grow from a toddler to a teenager, seen her learn and make mistakes and fail and succeed. Seen her healthy and safe and full of life; seen her grey and still on the floor with the dart sticking out of her chest and the poison in her congealing blood.]
Are you okay?

[She's used to people leaving, tells herself she's inured to it. She's not; only suspicious when people come back.]
no subject
Date: 2013-11-15 04:36 pm (UTC)[Not just because of the deal or the indenture to the Admiral. There are more people here she loves than there will ever be at home.]
