Recipients: Querl Dox, but you guys can read it if you'd like
To my darling Coluan,
Look at me, acting like this. Like a child...that's what you would say. You would look at me with one of those blond brows raised, and make a short disdainful sniff at the air, but you would smile from the corner of your mouth. You never really could hide your emotions from me. Remember when we just started in the Legion, and I was the one who caused you such embarrassment in front of everyone because I saw something no one else saw. That was the day we first fought. Our war of wits. Our duel of tricks...
...but you never let me forget that I am me. Even when you called me a bubble-headed precognitive, I could tell you were holding back. When I would appear and you would make a snide remark. It was never as icy and venomous as your barbs for our teammates. I thought you were just soft, then, but now? As your wife? I know that you were in love with me. And, have I told you that I was in love with as well?
Perhaps it was a crush. A silly girl infatuation, then, but look where that has taken us? My love for you caused Death to let me roam the Spirit Plane. My love for you caused us to be able to commune spiritually. My love for you allowed me to return...because you loved me. Your love for me brought me back. You can say it was science, Querl, but it was love. It was spirituality. It was you and me, and what we are at the very core.
You loved me. I loved you. And that's not past tense. I love you, still, Querl. I love how you will hold me close when we sleep. I love how you kiss my forehead when I am tangled in your arms. I love how you give me little smiles when the others are not looking. When it's just you and me...alone. I love how you treat me as an equal. I love how you hold me when I am frightened. And I love how you give the Unpredictable a chance...even when you know, with your brilliant intellect, that the Predictable and the Unpredictable are almost enemies.
But we proved them wrong, didn't we? Our teammates said that we have to be the oddest couple of them, but then, we're not so odd, are we?
A Coluan and a Naltorian. Excuse me while I go Shakespeare on you. I don't mean to blather or to wander mentally...but isn't that what we did? When I was with you mentally and spiritually? I still am. You know that. I know that. I know you miss me dearly. I know that you want me home. I know that you wish you'd done more or kept a closer eye on my location. My love...it is all right. I'll return home to you soon. And then we can show them all...
...it is unwise to mess with the Dox family. It is unwise to mess with Brainiac 5 and his Dream Girl. We'll face the United Planets. We'll strengthen the Legion...we'll be together.
I won't ever leave you again.
Do you hear me? I haven't even left. Because I know you can hear me.
I love you.
Your wife,
Nura Nal-Dox
