Having to get used to your own body isn't something that most people ever have to do. Luckily for Selina, it doesn't seem to be taking her very long at all. Still, she hasn't ventured out onto the rooftops yet. Not further than her own roof, at least.

Wouldn't want to go and do something really embarassing.

Looking out over the city, a glimpse of something silver catches her eye as it moves through the night. Soft notes reach her ears as she turn to look, one of the facets drawing her eyes to it.

Whatever this is, she would like to keep it.

"I've never really noticed it before."

A statement of fact without emotion attachments.

He just sits there for a minute, looking out over the land his family has owned for generations, a blank look present on his face.

"I made a deal," he finally states.

"I wasn't going to lose you, Selina."

He turns his gaze upon her, his expression impassive. The anger he expected. The hardest part awaits.

"You'll get over it."

"Isn't it the truth though?"

He molds the words into a biting accusation. Pain blossoms within. A pain that has nothing to do with the progressive cancer that spreads through his body.

"You're right. You have lived with me too long."

There are so many ways the statement could be taken. He lives it deliberately open to interpretation.

He stands, hoping to slip from her grasp.

"It's already done, Selina."

Stony are his features. A war rages inside. What husband wouldn't give his own life for that of his wife's? What husband wouldn't do everything in his power to spare her pain?

He must push her like he's never pushed her before. "Go," he orders.

There have been few women in his lifetime that have been able to face his ire. Selina stands chief among them.

"Tell me you would have done differently if our positions had been reversed."

His resolve crumbles.

"I would do it again," he whispers.
