((Moving forward from here))
I watched absently as Wesley left the office, and slowly turned around to look out of the window. It still never failed to amaze me how I could look out on the city without burning up, and see all the people, going about their daily lives, never knowing the kind of evil that filled this world...
Part of the evil that I now worked for, while trying to destroy it from the inside.
I had never expected to see Connor here, not in a million years. By sending him upstate and giving him a new life, a real family, and safety from the memories of everything that had happened, I thought that I would never see him again. Of course I wanted to see him, just not... here, in the lawfirm that had given him everything he now had, in exchange for me taking over.
And the odds of his family wanting him to pick here of all places to look for a job, in a city so far away, weren't very good... someone, or something had to have influenced that in some way. I had made sure that he was going to be far enough away from me to be safe...
Ironic, how since I had promised his mother to protect him, that the safest place for him was far away from me... but then, wasn't that how the best of everything worked? The safest place for anyone I cared about, anyone I loved, was far away from me. I hurt everyone I cared about, whether accidentally or not...
