She hadn't felt this way in so long. Sure, the act of saving others occasionally made her feel nervous, but looking after herself had long since produced that effect.
Something had changed in the last hour, though.
She had an objective, a goal to reach that went beyond her own personal struggles. And, already, that was doing a number on her heart.
