[ Lucy isn't sure why she keeps throwing herself into these missions. Maybe it's just to feel like she has some kind of purpose, even if she often finds herself wondering if she's doing the right thing. She's taking part in a war effort she barely understands, who's to say if she's even fighting on the right side?

Maybe there isn't really a right side.

This time, for once, it all feels perfectly straightforward. She hasn't known Sonia for long, but she was kind. Lucy likes her. Rescuing her feels, unquestionably, like the right thing to do.

She likes that she's working with Wash again. He reminds her a lot of Wyatt, which hurts but it also makes her feel safe. It makes it easier to put her life in his hands, which she must do because this is so much more his domain than it is hers.

She smiles a little at him, grateful for the distraction he offers.

Maybe.

[ Of course she's nervous. She knows that he is well aware of it. ]

What about you?
