But the war won't stop for the love of God

prompt was Sarah, drifting, post series, for
comment_fic Her son was in a future she was trying to destroy.
So was the terminator, although she wasn't as worried about her.
Her brother-in-law was lying in an unmarked grave, and Charlie was gone too.
Sarah Conner has always been alone, but now she feels it.
She tracks the companies she knows and suspects may be involved in the end of the world. Tries to figure out the clues written in blood on her garage wall.
But she's not really trying.
The future has been changed by her before. She's sure of it. Dates changed, her death, everything. If she re-writes the future she might be paving over her son. If she does nothing the world will still end in blood and fire.
She tries to stop what is starting to seem inevitable, but not too hard. As much as she wants to save the world her son will always come first. She's a mother first, then a soldier.
That leaves her in a bad spot. She can't think of a damned thing to do that might help her son, and a million things that might write him out of history. She's at a loss for the first time since she realized she was pregnant. She doesn't have a plan, a goal, it's not all about her son anymore and she's just drifting.
Every day brings her closer to her son, and even closer to D-Day. And she's not sure she wants to fight either, anymore.
