The Roof, Friday evening

John trudged up to the roof, thinking.

Not so much thinking as trying not to think. Trying not to think about the imposter professor, not to think about Syd, not thinking about everyone else who left.

Always leaving.

John stepped up on the ledge, toes hanging over.

Self-fulfilling prophesy said he'd live to defeat Skynet. Didn't say if he'd be directing from the battlefront or from a wheelchair.

He looked down at the ground 6 floors below. He hocked a loogie to see how long it took.



roof's open for emo-y purposes!

"Maybe we can end it together. Your monster and mine, might be the same."

"No offense, but I don't think you're Rambaldi's type." She looked over the edge of the building again. "Also, I made a promise not to try that again."

"You've done it?" He looked at her, curious.

"Jumped off the roof? A bunch of times. But if you mean trying to . . . well. . . . Yeah. Last April. I tried to swim out to sea."

"Walter stopped me."

"That's good to hear. Syd needs her family. And so do I."

"You need Sydney's family?" Nadia smiled slightly, then let it slip away. "Or are you homesick, too?"

"I don't have a home. I have family, and wherever they are, that is home. And now..." he looked out over the ocean.

"You're lucky, you know," Nadia said, following his gaze. "Until I came here, as far as I knew I didn't have a family. At all. And my dad seems to be hell bent on making my impending bad destiny happen. So even if they're far away, at least you have one."

"I think your dad and my mom should go have drinks. If my mom still can drink. I don't know where she is, and I sure as hell don't know where Syd is. I feel like I could jsut float away, no ties to bind." He closes his eyes again.

"Around here, you might end up surprised by the ties that suddenly pop up when you least expect them."

"God, I hope so." He just couldn't take it anymore, too much sky. (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/803097.html?thread=61672217#t61672217)

Nadia watched him leave silently, then after another moment of looking, stepped down from the edge herself.

Well, at least he took the stairs.
