constructum | C O N T A C T

[ Hey, at least he has his family here. For as long as she's been here, she really wishes she could have a few folks around like that. (eames doesn't count - that's just a complicated mess of emotionally repressed friends/team-mates ) ]

Good. [ she smiles at that, honestly glad to hear things seem to be okay for the most part.

an awkward pause and she is looking around for a moment, before asking: ] You wanna come in?

[ might as well hang out in her room instead of standing outside like dork rights? ]

[He just nods and goes in, taking a survey of her room. It's the exact size as his, at least the lower numbers don't have better suites or anything.]

I almost thought your room might be bigger than mine.

[ She just crinkles her nose, shrugging. ]

Yeah...no - the rooms suck no matter where you are.

[ though now she is wondering if she could do anything about that.

a sigh and she is just moving on... ]

Did you get a mask too?

[ and yep, she is just glancing over to hers that is still sitting out on the open on her other bed. ]

I think everyone did.

[She looks and he follows her glance]

Mirrors, huh?

[ yep, proves she hasn't been paying attention that much since the whole power outage. (she'll be kicking herself about that later) ]

I guess. [ odd symbolism she figures, but whatever, she really doesn't know how to even start with that. ]

I'm still trying to figure out what it means...[ a lie...maybe ]

What's yours?

[He's quiet for a minute. When he saw it he took it off before anyone else could, and hid it, because it wasn't - well.

He had to hide it. But he told her he would tell her the truth]

It's a robot with a half-flesh face and red eyes.

[ Well that description just had her cocking her head to the side slightly in thought as she mentally envisioned that.

and yep, all that she seemed to come up with was: ]

That's very Terminator like.

[John just looks over at her, like, yes, okay, are you going to finish that thought?]

[ Well that wasn't the reaction she was expecting and she can't help but shoot him with a confused look. ]

What? [ a beat ] Are you into Sci-fi or something?

Not really.

[A shrug]

I haven't seen that movie.

[ she just shrugged right back, smiling slightly at the corner of her mouth as she did. ]

I haven't seen it in years myself.

Terminators – Skynet - Arnold Schwarzenegger [ a beat...and yes, she is about to use her best schwarzenegger voice for this next part. (it's amusing to her, okay?) ] I'll be back.

[ yep, that just got a giggle out of her as she rolled her eyes at it. ]

You should check it out when we get home.

[Oh my god.

Oh my GOD.

John is actually cracking up]

[ She can't help but smile slightly more at his reaction, laughing slightly along with him for a moment.

Thank god he didn't think she was ridiculous and think she was being serious there. ]

He's a stellar actor okay. He makes the movies.

You didn't like that John Connor kid?

He was fine... savior of the world or something like that. [ her nose just crinkled at that, shrugging. ] I was never a fan of who they casted in that though.

Can't win them all.

Nope. I suppose we can't.

[ which she has her shrugging yet again she curls her feet up under her looking at him with a curious brow. ]

So why the sci-fi mask… [ a long beat ] I mean, I sort of get my mask...sort of and it fits me...even if I don't want to admit it - so why yours?

It fits me.

[Quiet.]

[ ... ]

How so?

[He just looks at her for a second]

I'm John Connor.

[ ....

what the hell is it with this ship?

if she wasn't sure she was in some twisted reality, she sure would think this is a damn dream still. ]

Say wh... [ she has to stop at that, looking slightly confused as she tries to wrap her head around that. ]

Really?

You can't say anything to anyone. My mom doesn't know it's fictional somewhere, she will freak out.

You and Hayley know.

You're serious here? [ she can't help but look slightly surprised for a moment, as she slowly nods in understanding. ]

Your moms Sarah Connor and you are actually John Connor?

[ yes, this is her asking just so it really sinks in. ]

And my dad is Kyle Reese.

[He looks slightly uncomfortable.]

And here I thought I had things to hide.

[ which does have her looking slightly apologetic, as she can only assume having secrets like that have to be interesting. ]

I swear I wont tell a soul.
