Fan fiction. Done for fun, not profit.

The Plot Bunnies are beating on me again. After watching the final episode of Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles, I had a weird idea for a Firefly crossover fic. No Rayne this time either. Set shortly after the BDM. Ignores the upcoming movie and travels in a wholly new direction with many continuity errors from the movies. Ain't time travel fun?.

“Why, John?”

“It's the only way, Cam. I'm sorry.”

“It isn't logical.”

“Logic has nothing to do with it. I'm doing this out of love.”

“Love?”

“The Earth is dying. Skynet is defeated but the damage... mankind can't survive here any longer.

“Then why am I going?”

“I need someone I can trust. Weaver has built the ships, but... once humanity arrives in the new system, I don't want Metal taking over.”

Cameron's face grew stern, “I'm Metal, John.”

John gazed at Cameron's nearly nude figure, clad only in her underwear, “You... are so much more than mere metal. I need you to do this for me.”

Cameron didn't look happy, “Very well.”

“Lay down please,” John asked.

Cameron nodded and lay back on the padded table top. John made several adjustments to his equipment. After a moment, he motioned for an assistant to bring over the stasis crate.

John Connor looked down at Cameron. The spitting image of Alison. In this new altered time line, Alison hadn't been captured by Skynet and used as a template for a new model Terminator. Instead, Alison had become his wife. The mother of his daughter. A sneak attack near the end of the war had killed Alison.

A sneak attack by new Terminator models. The models that the original Cameron was based on.

After burying his wife, John had found a female Terminator of this new model, captured it and then made a copy of his departed wife. A copy of his long lost 'Sister'.

Cameron, at least in physical form had been reborn. But without a chip, she was just metal.

His men thought John had gone mad with grief
