She shook her head. "I don't get you. You had it good, Pearson. You were out of the Refuge, you had that little girl who woulda' done anything for you -- who did do the worst thing for you. And you threw it away, for what? People like you and me, we don't get lucky twice. You don't think there'll be others to take McArthur's and Eastman's place? They come a dime a dozen."

Goblin thought of Snyder, of learning to flinch at the slightest touch, and the scars on his back. And Cav and Footsteps, kissing through the bars of the Refuge window. And Maggie's face when he found her in the infirmary after Eastman got through with her. "Yeah, but like you said...with them, it's personal." He dropped the cigar stub off the roof and watched it fall.

She suddenly understood him. Because maybe they were the same, in some ways. "You really think killing them is gonna make it better, make what they did to us go away? You're always gonna have your scars, Pearson. Script's always gonna know what it was like to have a man force himself on her. I'm always gonna know what I did to other girls just so I got hit a little less. None of that's ever gonna go away, no matter what we do."

And he gave her an incredibly weary little smile that, for once, didn't have even a hint of a smirk. "You couldn't've told me that four months ago?"

She smiled back, looking down for a minute. "I know I'm not one to be dispensing any kind of advice. Call it hormones or whatever, but," she lifted her head to look at him. "Maybe it's time we figured out what's really important. And maybe, for once, it ain't us."

"I'll keep that in mind," he said softly, hands folded on his knees as he stared out at the city skyline for a moment. "Go...live your life and have your kid and whatnot. And try not to fuck it up."

Gypsy didn't move right away, then nodded. "Don't do anything stupid, Pearson. Well," she smirked a little. "Anything else stupid, anyway.You actually have people who care about you."

"Yeah, there's a couple left. For now," he admitted, thinking of Clara and Cav. "Anyway. See you around." And he shook his head as he watched her go, because some kind of miracle had just occurred. Gypsy, of all people, had somehow chipped away at his layers of bitterness and made him feel like a human being again. ((That so did not go how I expected it to, and it was awesome.  G'night! <3)) |
