Author's Note: Those of you that have been following the virtual season so far may find that this episode appears to contradict many of the things you know of events so far. Don't take everything you read in act one at face value - everything will begin to be made clear in act 2... Act Two now returns you to your regularly 'scheduled' universe... I promise.

Harm's Way (1), Chain of Command (2), Enmity (3), Mantle (4) and In Truth... Freedom (5) can be accessed here.

A Great Sadness

Those of you that know who this is in the icon will know that he was my boy, Flash, that he was a wonderful daddy, with lots of wonderful babies, with his girl, Zip.

Today, I feel a very big sadness to know that one of those babies, his daughter Bear, passed away. She was so sweet and such a fighter in the last few days or so. She's with her daddy and her other siblings who have gone before her now, and I will miss her.
