Alphabet fic meme
Choose a letter of the alphabet and name a word (or you can make it a phrase if you like) that begins with that letter. Name a fandom (and character/pairing).

It’s laughable, really. He was gone for all those years, has been gone since those last years in London, when the Five became Four and, ultimately, fell apart. He has been gone hunting the Cabal leaders, seeking revenge for destroying the daughter he never had a chance to know. It seems rather silly to miss him for having disappeared now when he’s really been gone for most of the last century.
He’s left again, blood on his hands, but this time he also left the knowledge that there is some explanation for his actions. Not an excuse, an explanation. All along, it wasn’t him, not entirely. Instead it was a parasite, feasting on the violent instincts that are part of every human being’s genetic make-up.
John has always had it in him to be a killer, and that… thing pushed and pushed, eroding his self-control until he snapped.
Helen closes her eyes, sees John glaring at her in those final moments, the war for control raging in his eyes.
“I don’t need your help!”
She still doesn’t know who said those words - John or the parasite.
“I have no destination in mind.”
Those were the last words he said to her, a notification of his intentions. He was practically committing suicide, hopefully taking the Abnormal with him.
“I love you. Remember that. Always. For all eternity.”
Helen bites her lip against the wave of loneliness.
