Work Text:
I am you, you are me, it’s clear to see
I was always a part of you as much as you were a part of me.
Mirror images some of them said.
And those ones, could not have been more wrong.
We could not have been more different. Back then.
Despite having been crafted from the same baseline, it was easily not true.
The two of us, so very different, like day and night, or then the colours yellow and blue.
But without the one, there truly was no other.
Something we both figured out early on.
Never far away from one and other, always having each other’s backs as if agreed from the very start as we two were one. One single entity, what a pun!
You were me and I, was you.
Inseparable we two be. Twins perhaps, alas, never true.
And still somehow, we became two separate individuals As one state, did not cancel the other.
Just like us two, Echo and Fives. It was always supposed to be us. Fives and Echo.
And so we were, from the very beginning and soon moving forward, to the battles, to the new, everyone after the rough start were our praises singing.
Working, playing it was always us two, together.
The domino twins some called us, yes a nickname for us, even if never true.
An apt description but not really as such. As we two were much more than that.
We were good, great really, rising in ranks, the galaxy wide open at our very grasp.
Until one day, it wasn’t all that.
As things, changed.
We changed.
We died.
Granted, at separate times.
Until one of us made it back to the galaxy.
And so, I am just me, alone, an Echo.
Without my very one mirror to reflect from.
Sometimes wondering if you are really here still.
With me, on a another plane of existence, guiding me without fear.
As I do swear I can hear you speaking to me.
Sometimes, but just wish you to see with my own eyes.
Things to be at least something similar.
To what we two once were.
Mirrors of each other.
Supporting one and other.
Inseparable yet still individuals.
Just us two.
Just Echo and Fives.
Fives and Echo.
Neither ever again alone.
Ever.
