River Tam Death Scene - The Black Room wrote:

You hit the ground hard. You look at the charred metal across from you. Your fingers are burning. You ignore that and attempt to get up. There’s a sudden shock and pressure and pain. You fall back down on the pavement, and everything goes black.

***

There’s a woman across from you in the blackness. You know her name is Caroline, although you’re not sure how.

“Am I dead?” you ask.

She looks like she is about to say something, but she is distracted and disappears, leaving you alone in the blackness. You think you can barely hear rain, and what sounds like music and somebody talking. A sensation of dread washes over you. You don’t know how, but Caroline is about to die.

You had just finished talking to Paul in your head space when a dark haired girl appeared across from you. Although you knew she wasn't one of your imprints, you could swear she still looked familiar.

"Am I dead?" she asks.

You open your mouth to respond, but you hear something stirring in the real world.

***

You wake to see a man in a shining white suit. The brightness of the suit keeps you from discerning his features.

"Hello Echo." he says. "I have something to ask of you."

There's a melodic quality to his voice.

"There's a woman in my head." you say. "She doesn't belong there."

"It looks like the chair won't be necessary then." he says. "It seems she's reached out to you."

He steps forward, putting his thumbs close to your temples.

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to make room for her abilities and give her control."

"Will I fall asleep?"

"Yes."

"For a little while?"

"I'm afraid it's going to be much longer than that, and for that, I am so sorry."

***

Caroline reappeared in the head space. River was curled up in a ball, rocking back and forth.

"I thought I was dead," River said. "But all I did was pass the death along."

Caroline walked up and placed her hand on River's shoulder.

"Don't worry. It'll be alright. I've done this plenty of times."

"No." River stopped rocking and looked at her. "You're going to die."

Caroline felt cold. She looked down at her hands. They were starting to fade.

"I'm scared." she said.

River rocked back and forth.

"We are not who we are. We are not who we are. We are not who we are..."

***

River opened her eyes. It was dark, and it was cold, and it had stopped raining. The voices were so loud.

Phil Coulson Death Scene - A Magical Place wrote:

You close your eyes and feel the rope constrict. You're expecting a drop, but there's nothing. Slowly you open your eyes. You are in a large white room.

"I really expected more from you."

You turn around. Fury is walking toward you.

"Sir?"

"Don't 'Sir' me, Coulson." Fury says. "I don't know what you think you're seeing, but you need to realize that it's not the truth."

"I'm afraid I don't understand."

"Think of this as a dream state, induced by me so that we can talk before you die. You see whatever you want here, and your perception of me is dependent on what your subconscious is trying to tell you."

"So I'm supposed to believe that I'm seeing you as Fury because I would think he'd be disappointed in me."

"Makes sense. I thought you were here to rally the troops, so to speak. I could see your potential as soon as you entered into my world."

"So I take it you're Joss Whedon?"

"Who? I don't know what you've been told, but it's a lie. A convenient fiction to make you more pliable." Fury stops just inches from you and looks you in the eyes. "There's a storm coming, Coulson. It was my hope that you'd be the key to stopping it, but turns out that I'm wrong. However, I don't think that you being here is a waste."

"Hence our discussion?"

"Hence our discussion. I think you might just have an idea who can turn the tide."

"How much time do we have here?"

"As much as we need. I'll even toss in some dream time for good measure and let you sail into that good night in peace."

"And what do I dream of?"

"How about Tahiti? I hear it's a magical place."

Lorne Invention Scene - Death Ray wrote:

You opened your eyes. Coulson had given you the information you wanted, and you were sure that it would be put to good use. Things were not going the way you had foreseen, and that was troubling. You move your hand and feel it bump into something that wasn’t there before. You look down and see a gun.

Maybe it’s time you even the odds a bit.

River Tam/Echo Death Scene - Deja Vu wrote:

River walked along the outside of the warehouse trying to hone in on her target. This body was so new that she wasn’t even sure she could focus her ability. Then she felt the vision flooding over her. A man standing over a young girl’s body, his hands dripping blood. She recognized the girl. She had seen her wandering aimlessly in her previous life. She was the girl in the white room, the one whose body River was inhabiting.

River heard footsteps behind her. She turned and briefly saw the man in question before being thrown into the air and against the wall. She could feel the life ebbing from her. Her second life had ended just like the first: broken and silent.

Lorne Death Scene - To Only Watch wrote:

You were back in the Music of the Spheres. You had hoped everyone could reconcile their differences, but that was not to be. On the way back, you had dumped the Death Ray. You probably shouldn't be making those decisions anyway. It was up to them now.

Silently, you watched.

Marty Mikalski Invention Scene I - Mind Link wrote:

You’re not sure when, but you passed out at some point in the night. When you awoke, you found a weird sort of helmet. It looks incomplete, but still functional. You take another hit from your bong. This could be far out, man.

Spike Death Scene - To Hell You Go wrote:

You were keeping an eye on Dawn, just like you had been doing since you got here. After all, Buffy would never forgive you if anything happened to her. You barely registered the hands on the side of your head before it was pulled clean off, leaving only darkness. Being damned, it’s a one way trip to Hell for you. At least you did your best.

Steve Berg Death Scene - So So Dead wrote:

The attack was sudden, and you quickly found yourself on the ground. Then the first fist hit you with the force of a sledgehammer. Over and over again he hit you, but really, you were dead after the first blow.

Dawn Invention Scene - Shield wrote:

You woke up to find a weird device sitting nearby. It looked like a remote with a single button, and attached to it was a half torn tag with "rce shield" written on it. You have no idea what was originally written on it, but it says shield, so it must be good.

You press a button, and the beam projects a field outward. It looks like it will only protect someone else. That's okay. It's still pretty cool.

Willow Rosenberg Death Scene - So Close... wrote:

You didn't want to believe it, but you could only conclude that Angel was involved in the killings. You deviate from your normal patrol route, searching for him. You plan on casting a spell to keep him immobilized, that way you can be absolutely sure. You finally see Angel rapidly approaching another man. You cast your immobilization spell, locking Angel into place. The other man looks up and sees you. He aims a gun at you, and the last thing you see and hear is a blinding light and the sound of thunder.

Captain Hammer Death Scene wrote:

It wasn't them trying to hang you that was surprising, or the fact that they used chains instead of rope. They were scared. You had expected that, knowing that you could take whatever they threw at you. No, what surprised you was the way Angel turned on you, leaping at you and dragging you down, the igniting spark that resulted in the town you had wanted to fear you to be able to make good on their threats. I guess you weren't invincible after all...

Marty Mikalski Invention Scene II - A New Dawn... wrote:

You tracked down Dawn during the night. She seemed to be concentrating very hard on something and didn't notice you, but that's okay. You attach the connected pads to her head and put on the headset. Whatever has her attention keeps her from noticing this, but the transfer is enough to make her start to buckle. You feel it as well, as thought and emotion fly into your head. They coalesce into a bright light that seems to cleanse and clear you, renewing you and giving you purpose.

"Well that was unexpected." you say, and the thought echoes in your head as you hear a far off sigh and feel another drift off to sleep.

*snip*

After the rush that was the mind link, you take off the helmet. You can still hear Dawn rattling around in there. Her dreams of unicorns and centaurs are very distracting. You glance beside you and see a belt that wasn't there before. It seems to be of a similar aesthetic as the mind link.

"This could be handy." you think, as you pick it up.

Dawn Neighborhood Scene - Linked wrote:

You take up a position within sight of Boonskiies and ready your shield. The force field projects out and remains steady. You notice minor fluctuations here or there, but by adjusting the settings on the shield emitter, you are able to keep the field stable. Suddenly you feel hazy and drained. You seem to be unable to keep your mind clear and are unable to focus on the calibrations needed to keep the field up. Your eyes grow heavy as you feel your legs collapsing from underneath you.

As you hit the ground, you can hear a strange voice in your head say, "Well that was unexpected."

Wash Death Scene - Soar wrote:

In the Music of the Spheres, Lorne shook his head. In another reality Wash would die uttering the exact same words after landing the Serenity safely on the surface of Mr. Galaxy's planet. It just seemed like some people were destined to die.
