I missed you so much. I've been traveling from place to place, protecting people and taking down such awful people, to make up for everything that happened before... and I was desperately searching for you and everyone else I was missing." She looked down for a brief moment, a sad smile coming to her face as she thought of all the hours she had spent dragging her wounded body along, searching for hours and hours for those that she had lost, those that she had thought she would never get back. Sure, Lewis certainly hadn't been the only one she had been looking for, but seeing him again filled her with a sense of hope, and a sense of childish happiness she hadn't felt for many months, even maybe years. She mumbled softly as she gently pressed her nose into Lewis's cheek, a shuddering breath leaving her and curling up into the humid air, "Eventually I stopped at Elysium because I was just... so tired. So tired and alone, and I wanted somewhere to finally be able to relax. I never thought it would lead me to here. Lead me to you." She didn't even try to hide the happiness that filled her voice, along with the tears that stung her green eyes.
