Fan fiction. Done for fun, not profit. I own none of these characters.... I just play with them a little.

-

Crossover between Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Firefly. A continuation of my previous Fanfic, Rebirth.

AN: Just to remind people... This is totally AU for T:TSCC and post BDM for Firefly. It also totally ignores the events of the latest Terminator movie because I haven't seen it.

AN2: This series has been hard for me. I get this cool idea to combine two of Summer Glau's roles in one story line and then my creativity got ahead of my skills. I now have a general inkling where the storyline is going now. I'm still trying to figure out John Connor's 'voice'. I want him to be bitter and just plain tired. He's been fighting against the machines his whole life and he's simply burned out. I'm hoping I can pull that off in this. I rewrote parts of this chapter three times before I was halfway satisfied with it. I'm still not 100% happy with it but here it is.

I'll try to get to some action in the next chapter.

“Why am I here, Christine... err, Caroline?” John Connor asked.

The liquid metal terminator leaned back in her chair and addressed the man who sat across from her, “The current government is corrupt and totalitarian. We also believe that a Skynet like AI is operating behind the scenes. Directing Alliance policy.”

“What does that have to do with me?”

“Several opposition groups have arisen. Right now, Alliance intelligence is trying to both quash these groups and or pit them against each other. Rather than against the Alliance. What they need is a single, charismatic leader. Someone with experience in leading a revolution against overwhelming odds...”

“No...”

“John, please.”

“NO!” John replied strongly, “You ripped me from Earth. Just to be some great leader? Again? Been there, done that. Not gonna happen. I lost everyone I cared for in my life fighting Skynet. My Mother my Father, my Uncle, Allison, Cameron
