Why? What happened?

The monster Daisy brought to the morgue. It's...human.

...what does that have to do with whether or not I'm okay? Is it aliv and looking for me or something?

It is you. A different you. From over there, I guess.

Is there....weird question, I know but just go with me on this. Is there a Phoenix tattoo on the rib cage? About the size of your hand. Kinda shimmers.

Yes, but even if there wasn't the DNA is an exact match.

This is very fucked up, George.

Yeah, well.

Mind coming over for a bit? I'm a bit freaked out by this and I think you are too. Call it a hunch.

[ call it her empathic abilities. That's what it is. She's just not acknowledging it. ]

You are not wrong. Yeah, I can come over.

Okay. See you soon.

And, you know, if you feel the need to hurry? I won't complain.

[ For as much as there's a joking tone, she whole heartedly means it. The parasite nightmare just keeps getting worse and worse and she wants to know her loved ones are safe. George being one of them. ]

Good to know.

[ So, interestingly enough, it doesn't take him that long to get there. And maybe he shows up with some takeout cookies. Why not, right? ]

[ Take-out cookies are a welcome surprise. But she doesn't pay them much attention just yet. Her eyes are on George and the second she sees him, she has her arms around his shoulders, hugging him for a bit. ]

Hey, gorgeous.

[ because that's totally what one says in a Just Friends relationship. Sure. ]

You okay?

[ Look at who his other friends are. It's NOT? ]

Just a little jarred.

I can imagine.

[ She can feel it. It's a thing with her. ]

Anything I can do?

Not being dead helps.

Check me out. I'm alive and kicking.

[ And a half smile. Does that help, George? And don't think she isn't sad for other her. She is. She's actually afraid of what that means and other hers life in the OtherWorld. ]

I remembered something. I remembered one of the monsters trying to protect me. Might of been Other Me. In fact, I'm sure of it.

If she did, that's good. I'm still not sure what to do about the uh...body.

Bury it.

Probably up to the council.

Just remind them fire is its friend. I can't really imagine other me would want to wake up to her lower half missing.

I'll remind them. Maybe they can find a way to send her home.

I'm sorry seeing that upset you so much, George. I think I'd have lost my shit if it had been Jemma or you.

[ she pauses for a second, but it's not so much a hesitation out of fear. It's her considering her phrasing. ]

It'd upset me most if it were you.

[ Is he surprised? A little! ]

You would?

Yeah.

[ And she might be turning a bit red. Just a blush across her cheeks and nose. ]

Yeah, I think I would.
