badfic_manor - Third person
Lana had to do it. She could not stand around and let those police cars follow after that stolen vehicle, even if she wanted to. She doesn't even feel good afterward. The only feeling she gets out of helping out the good guys is slight satisfaction, if anything.
Having to let go of the love of her life was one of the most difficult decisions to make, but it was her decision. There is a hole in her heart, a small hole. Maybe this is why the feeling of satisfaction comes to her after a job well done.
She doesn't do this to make her feel good. She doesn't do what she does to help herself. She helps other people, to make them feel safe. She puts herself out there as a reminder to people that there is a reason to smile. She certainly doesn't believe that she herself is the reason for any person to smile, but the fact that there is any hope for tomorrow --that's a damn good reason.
This is what Lana believes to be her true purpose.
I know what I need to do with my life now. Life is so precious, so beautiful and to be able to protect that, that's an amazing gift.
