"It's just kind of... a drop in the bucket now, I guess," she says, clasping Tereza's hand.

"It's... really weird to see people who are your friends, but not."

"I can imagine," she says, "I really did miss having you around. Even ended up dreaming about you, but that dream was kind of overall crazy all things considered."

"...guess you did," Sam says with a faint flush in her cheeks, looking to where Tereza's resting her head.

"Ah... full disclosure. Other you propositioned me. Turned her down, though."

"Oh, I... she did?" Tereza smirks to cover up her own blush, "Poor other-me missing out."

"Has a thing for redheads, I suppose. Just didn't seem fair, aye? Don't really think of myself as a one-night stand."

"No, you wouldn't be," Tereza says. "Was I at least as cool there as I am here?" She tries to change the subject, obviously mentally fighting with herself.

"You were an admiral in the Russian navy. We alternated between getting on too well and not at all."

"So some things were not all that different than here," she chuckles. "Russian navy? Really?"

"Some sort of mutant uprising. Also had a weird thing she could do to steal people's powers by entombing them in ice. Didn't go well when I found out about that."

"You might be able to do that, but I don't know if you'd want to."

Tereza thinks about it for possibly a longer time than Sam is comfortable with before saying, "No, no I don't think I would."

"The more things change, I guess," Tereza said, "Though that doesn't give me much hope for ever reconciling with her should I ever decide that's a thing I'm crazy enough to want to do."

"I suppose it's possible, but good luck finding that out. I'm sure they've got her stowed away somewhere to keep her out of any more international incidents." She licks her teeth absently, "I'm getting hungry. Let's go get something to eat."

"I guess they might let me out for awhile. I've still got to answer them on that healing treatment, though."

"If it makes you feel any better, the other me was some sort of mad, filthy siren."

"Weird dimension," she says, "Not like this one's any saner I guess." She thinks a bit, "I could go get something and come back here I guess, if you want to just lay around in bed." There's a bit of restless motion to her. It's subtle, but she's always looking at her nails, shifting her weight, looking Sam over, or looking around the room.

Tereza turns quickly, her hair bouncing slightly in a somewhat wild style that Sam can't recall seeing her in before. The way she moves, she's obviously put on some muscle, but that sight is gone as she slips quietly out the door.

Guess she's been... hitting the gym.

She looks over the tablet again, trying to educate herself on the healing treatment.

After a while there's another, much more hesitant knock on the door and Heather carefully pokes her head back in.

"I... I'm gonna need that tablet if you're done with it?" she asks meekly.

"No. She was really short about it too when she told me she'd be busy." she says, shaking her head but still keeping her distance some.

"We were in... well, another world, I guess. A parallel universe? There were versions of some people we knew there and... well, the person that hijacked us to there was a lot like you."

"She looked like you. Her voice sounded like yours, and she talked to machines, and somehow she made it to our world and stuck things in the brains of a lot of Royal Navy sailors."

"And I just... I don't know. I met her before I met you and I was afraid she was back."

"Anyway, what do you know about this stuff you gave me to read about?"

"Well, it's from my friend. She has a healing factor and her blood helps others get better. She's doing this out of her own free will!" she stresses, which seems slightly less weird after what Sam mentioned, even if it isn't technically what prompted it.
