Work Text:
You shouldn't be so surprised, yet when she comes up, you can't help but take a moment to look at her. You have been aware you were just one amongst others all your life, a clone, nothing special. But you liked to think you were different, in control, you had knowledge and they didn't know the first thing about themselves.
Until recently.
You knew Sarah would show up, that's why you went after Kira in the first place. You weren't expecting her.
You had heard about Sarah Manning, you had all kind of files about her filled with pictures and data, most of them recent though and sometimes under Beth's name.
She is everything Beth couldn't be.
(She is so many things you will never be.)
You hear the difference in the way she walks towards you as you turn your back at her, slow but determined. You know there is something different when you see her face. She doesn't look at you with fear, not even rage. She looks at you with annoyance, as if you were merely standing in her way.
For the first time you see more than a mean in a person. For the first time you don't see a lesser version of yourself.
Because you see so much of you in her and you smile at the irony of that.
She stands in front of you and you are not afraid.
You should be.
