TM Entry - Knowing You're Not Alone

Daddy, where is Mommy and Auntie Wanda?

A simple question really. A little girl, being tucked in bed, wanting to know where her mother is. Waiting, perhaps, the the bedtime story she always told her every since since Luna could understand words. Or perhaps a final nighttime snuggle with her aunt, who would make the candles flicker like a tiny firework show that would lead her to her bedroom.

But how do you explain to a child that they were gone? That a monster had taken them from her, and they would never come back.

Probably about as convincing as how you can tell youself.

I would have followed them too, in less than a heartbeat. It was my twin sister and my wife... the two women in my life, not counting the princess asleep in bed beside me, who I loved with my whole heart. In fact, the only reason I'm still here is because Wolverine grabbed me and kept me from following.

I should thank him one day. Because if I had, then my baby girl would be all by herself. And I don't know where I would be, that's for sure.

But now, knowing that we're together, makes me able to remember that neither of us will ever be alone.
