video - horatio.

So, I wanted to talk to you. About what... About what you could do during the flood.

[This is about the scariest thing she could do right now. She doesn't know Horatio that well, but she feels some responsibility here. And maybe she doesn't need to out herself? Maybe she can get through this just by being a concerned person who happens to be from that kind of world.]

video - scott.

I have something that I want to give to you. Can you stop by my room when you get a chance, Captain McCall?

[She grins, unable to stop herself as she teases him.]

That was a little bit of a weird experience. But it was... I don't know, compared to some of the other things that happen on the Barge, it wasn't that bad.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I don't just turn invisible like that, but I think it's natural to wonder about alternate universes. It was kinda cool to see at least one.

[Despite herself, she smiles. Only a little, but it's something.]

How much did you lie?

[It's enough to latch onto. He smiles back, a little cautious, but a smile.]

I didn't lie at all.

[Just a small puff of laughter that's brief and soft, but it's there. She can't forgive him right now, but she also can't stay mad at him. Daneca recognizes it could be worse and she remembers what Cassel said. One mistake doesn't undo or unmake it fact that Scott is genuinely a good person. A good person who happens to care about her.]

You're full of it.

[Daneca leans over and kisses the corner of his mouth.]

[His smile widens.]

Am not. I could have mentioned how you make me cry all the time, but I didn't want him to know I can be beaten in Need for Speed.

[Daneca slips her hand into Scott's free hand.]

That'll be our little secret.

[He threads his fingers through hers. Guilt lurks in his conscience, will keep lurking, but maybe it should. It'll be a reminder.]

I knew I liked you for a reason.
