She shuddered at the crack of weapons, smiling up at Nightwing, blood staining her teeth red. "I read about you. You were a hero. You were all heroes and we needed you so badly. Thank you....thank you for coming and helping us..."
There were tears in her eyes, hand reaching to touch him for just a moment. "Everything will be better now."
She looked at Moses. "Right? Right? It will be better now." She took a breath and started coughing. "I had to...I had to make sure, we need you. You're our hero, Moses." The tears had started leaking down her cheeks, hand touching his arm, smile never fading. "Was it ok? Did I matter? Di-did I help? I wanted to help. I wanted...I wanted us to be a family, after. I wanted to go home with you and Guy and Bilbo and be a family...did it matter, Moses? Did we change it...Please...I-I wanted to matter."
