Why this must be read: Told from Derek's perspective, "The Wind Speaks" follows our little band of post-apocalyptic heroes after they find the recently arrived John Connor and try to contend with his connection to each of them and to the mysterious no-last-name Sarah. It incorporates elements of the latter movies while staying firmly rooted in the TSCC continuity, and the characterization is right on, especially with Sarah.
“He said his name was John Connor?” Kate asks beside him, he glances over and she looks slightly puzzled.
“Yeah… why? You know him or something?”
“No… I mean… it’s just I went to school with a John Connor, we must have been… god twelve, thirteen. I can’t even remember anymore. That John Connor would have to be in thirties by now; he definitely wouldn’t be a seventeen year old kid. He could probably have a kid about that boy’s age though… if he started early enough.”
“Maybe Sarah will know,” Kyle says softly. He says her name reverently, like she’s a God. They don’t even know her last name, she’s never trusted them enough to tell them that… yet his brother has been half in love with her since he was old enough to know what love was.
Derek thinks that if she touches his brother he might have to kill her. Kyle’s not a kid, is an adult in his own right, but he’ll still always be Derek’s baby brother.
“Sarah doesn’t know everything,” Derek says. He regrets it the minute he says it, Kyle’s face goes hard and cold like it only does when Derek is saying something he doesn’t want to hear.
He glares at Derek and stalks out of the room.
“You shouldn’t…”
“We don’t know anything about her, she comes, she goes, she’s completely the most unreliable person that we get reliable intel from ever. Yet Kyle thinks she walks on water,” Derek mutters. He’s pissed, normally he’s got a better check on his temper then that.
“She saved his life,” Kate reminds him.
“His life wouldn’t have needed saving if it hadn’t been for her,” Derek snorts.
“Still, you should at least try and act like you know he’s not a seven year-old kid anymore, he’s a grown man, he should at least think he can make his own decisions.”
