Sweet...touching. Suzanne is definitely in character there.

She was always such a good crier and had a strong conscience.

She also is a wonderful mum to Debi; glad you captured that part.

I doubt Paul Ironhorse thought it any huge deal that he was American Indian and she was Irish-American, though.

I also think that instead of *I don't think of you as a woman, Dr. McCullough, only as a colleague and a comrade-in-arms* is a bit backwards...most Native American tribes don't have sexist or heavily gendered attitudes of people.

Paul would be more telling Suzanne *Yes, a woman AND a colleague and a comrade-in-arms.*

Touching story, though...Suzanne was quite a tough, courageous lady while also sensitive and emotional.

shout of laughter Paul's last line is wonderful! Very nice.

Wonderful story! Ah, I remember the days watching War of the Worlds on the satellite feed...then they went ahead and ruined it! Still, it was a pretty good series; thanks for the memories!

I have been a fan of War of the Worlds since the first episode. I was not fond, putting it very mildly, of the second/last season, but that is another matter,and a whole other rant.

I loved this story. I think you captured Paul Ironhorse perfectly, and Dr. McCullough as well.

If you have anymore War of the Worlds stories, please, please, do post them here.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I was a big fan of this show. (Well except for the part of how everyone somehow forgot about a world wide alien invasion in the 50s) Then they had to wreck it with the second season. Still, if you have any more like this, I would love to read it.

Great story. I loved this show and hated that they wrote Ironhorse out of it. Do you have more to share with us? I would write you glowing reviews each time!

LOVED this! I used to write War of the Worlds fanfic and wrote for To Life Immortal too. I was feeling nostalgic so I thought I'd see if had any and was surprised to find it and your story. I was a fan of Ironhorse and LOVED your story! I hope to post my old stuff when I get a chance.

Terrific interlude and lovely exploration of the possible conflict of interest that Dr. McCullough could have had. Thanks for posting this here!.
