"I'll change it," Bina says. "There has to be a way - "

Permalink

" - Just, let me be brave here, alright? You can make your resolutions to yourself later."

"But for now... Let me be brave."

Permalink

Bina nods.

And the sky roars.

"We should jump," Ant says, eir grip could probably be considered clinging at this point.

Permalink

"Yeah - yeah - " She turns, and ignores the screaming engines behind her - 

And jumps.

Permalink

And Ant jumps with her.

Permalink

They fall - 

And Bina wakes, gasping and panicked.

Permalink

Jenn's beside her almost immediately. "Hey," she says, quiet but insistent.

Permalink

"What - "

Deep breath.

"Sorry. Bad dream."

Permalink

"You seem to get those a lot," Jenn says carefully - empathy, and an offer to listen if Bina wants to talk about it.

Permalink

Shiver. "Yeah. This was - talking to Josephine." Quiet, and she glances over to see if Elizabeth's around - "I think it's pretty significant. But might take a while to explain - honestly I should write it all down..."

Permalink

"We've got a pen, some post its...I think there was maybe a spare page in the journal? The post its are probably a better option."

Permalink

"I'll do that, yeah, at least the highlights."

Permalink

"I'll go grab them for you then." Pause. "If you'll be okay?"

Permalink

She nods. "Yeah. Just. Need a moment." She rubs her hand down her face.

Permalink

Jenn nods and goes to do that - her gait seems off. It isn't a limp, but that is likely because Jenn is far too stubborn to limp.

Permalink

...Really. Seriously, Jenn.

When she gets back, Bina asks, fake casual, "So how did getting the wiring go?"

Permalink

"About as well as can be expected," Jenn says, equally casually. "I only ended up jumping off one roof."

Permalink

"...Jenn. Weren't you the one threatening to handcuff yourself to me? Because I take risks?"

Permalink

"Yup," Jenn says, almost cheerfully.

Permalink

"And jumping off of buildings is better than escaping through pipes?"

Permalink

"Harder to get...what was it? Momentumly challenged? Jumping off a building."

Permalink

"Easier to break something."

Permalink

"Not...wrong," Jenn admits, a little reluctantly. "It seemed the wise thing to do."

Permalink

"I'm going to sit on you. See if you're jumping off any buildings then."
