Thanks! Yeah, there's no point in wasting time dwelling on regrets or what could have been, I think, for Kara. That way madness lies. It's all about moving forward, trying to get out.

I really was struck by the smile on her face in that episode (Occupation or Precipice?) after she kills him. Such a fine balance between insanity and triumph. Maelstrom's been on my mind a lot lately too because of another fic I'm working on...
