Another supershort viginette. Anthony made me do it.
And this is supposed to be longer, and a songfic, but
it didn't happen.
Right after the first scene in "Nerve."
*****
I didn’t believe her at first. She’s Aeryn, she’s
strong, how could anything be wrong with her? She was
beating up that punching bag something fierce, just as
ever. But then she took a swing at me -- and MISSED.
That has NEVER happened before. Toxins, paraphoral
nerve, and I totally didn’t understand what she was
saying; I was still focussing on the fact that she
took a swing -- and MISSED.
Then I caught on.
Aeryn is going to die. Her own body is killing her
from the inside out. We thought she was a goner from
the blood loss alone, then she got better and we were
all happy. Thrilled. Now she looks perfectly fine and
she’s dying inside. This doesn’t work. It doesn’t
happen, it doesn’t jive. This kind of thing just
doesn’t happen to Aeryn. She’s indestructable, she can
fight off seven of her former comrads without batting
an eye or breaking a sweat, she can be stabbed in the
side with a Klingon blade and go right back to beating
up on poor defenseless workout dummies in no time.
She’s Batgirl, Wonder Woman, the Bionic Woman, all
three of Charlie’s Angels. She’s my Superhero Girl.
She can’t die. I can’t let her die.
