Nora

Never have her:


This one's for Nora

Kayla Silverfox: Do you know why the moon is so lonely, Logan?
Logan: Why?
Kayla Silverfox: Because she used to have a lover.
Logan: You tell this to the kids?
Kayla Silverfox: No.
[Logan laughs]
Kayla Silverfox: His name was Kuekuatsu and they lived in the spirit world together.
Logan: Oh, this is a true story.
Kayla Silverfox: Mmm. And every night, they would wander the skies together. But, one of the other spirits was jealous. The Trickster wanted the Moon for himself. So he told Kuekuatsu that the Moon had asked for flowers; he told him to come to our world and pick her some wild roses. But Kuekuatsu didn't know that once you leave the spirit world, you can never go back. And every night, he looks up in the sky and sees the Moon and howls her name. But...

he can never touch her again.

.....
Never have her: Part- 2:

Curse of the Wicked Witch:

I loathe Fate. I loathe her with all my heart, and with all my soul and with all my mind. Centuries have I stood here; the years have not been kind- what was once the handsome form of a Lord of men is now the wasted form of an old fool. Centuries, I said.
Death, that sly Bastard, has tried to creep up on me several times.

He has tried; and he has tired.

I am...immortal; an immortal in pain.


I am the Man Who Loved Her.

There she stands-Niyati.

She is just a hands breath away.

But if I stretch out my hand, and cross the line of Fate, she will die.

Shatter,

Disappear,

Begone forever.

Pity me, mortal.

.....


Blood on my hands:

What do I care if a thousand nameless people die in some corner of the world, as long as in the here and now, you are safe?



Heck, I may even have killed them myself;

so thay can't harm you.

.....

If I could:



God, no.

NO.

She's dying God, look at her she's dying.


LOOK AT HER.

An almost feral scream.

Do you know what it is like to be young and in love?

Do you, old man?

DO YOU?

The feral scream again.


My wife has cancer.


(Aside)

And how I wish I could reach in and pull it out.

(To Cancer)

Leave her.

Please.

I beg you. I'll do anything. I'll give you whatever you want, (Breakdown), ANYONE you want.

Take me, Take me instead. (Sob)

TAKE ME.



Ward number 353 at St. Ursulas was cold, so cold.

At midnight on the 27th of May 1969 there were only two people in the ward- Jonathan and Sarah. One was dying on the outside, the other....on the inside. She had cancer.

On the morning of 28th May,1969, the ward was still, so still There were only two in the ward- one was breathing softly and the other was breathing...not at all.

He was dead.


........
Nora:

Cryogenecist Dr. Victor Fries saved his dying wife, Nora by freezing her in a cryogenic chamber, till facilities to perform an organ transplant became available. The chance never came. The corporation pulled the funding on his project...


His face pressed against the glass.

On the other side, his wife lay suspended, an ethereal white mist surrounded her.

She looked peaceful,beautiful; like an angel in heaven.

He raised his hand, made as if to reach through the glass.

His mouth formed the word,

Nora.

When he stepped back, his skin tore.

......

Logan: Wow. Koo-koo-ka-choo got screwed.

Tragic.

I know.
Since you insist on sources- the first part of "Never have her" is sourced from Xmen: Origins.
The second part is my own. So are the others.
The story of Nora, of course is the story of Mr. Freeze of Batman and Robin.
I just fleshed it out.

Thanks for the sources, I do like it better with them than without.
