Clone City, Valley of the Queens

"This... this is not funny."

With a voice devoid of accent Sal found herself suddenly not at home, returning to her living room after a bathroom break while watching reruns of Avatar: The Last Airbender. If the place had been a nexus or something she was more familiar with she would have been perfectly okay with the entire situation.

Except that this was not a room, not a nexus, and not a cafe. It was a cave. She wasn't a fan of caves. They were gross and earthy and just... well... gross. This cave wasn't drippy or anything, but she still didn't like it. She growled to herself and walked awhile until she found a large French door. Which was weird in and of itself. She wrenched it open and found her feet on green grass.

"Where the hell am I?" She looked around at the enormous valley spread out around her.

This is surreal...

"No. On Kamino, I didn't let myself like anyone. I had a job to do; I had to concentrate on you guys." She sighed. "Ye knows 'bout different realities an' all that, right?"

"Mmmhmm, this isn't the same one we came from. That's why I wasn't sure when I saw you, at first." His fingers rested gently on her stomach, his eyes widening slightly as he waited to see if there was going to be a reaction.

"Okay. Well, right before I left for good, I got sucked into a place where realities meet, and there I met someone. And we ended up married after a fashion, and then this."

She smiled as Celeste pressed against Fi's fingers; it was a much gentle gesture than what had felt like a dropkick in the abdomen.

He grinned, eyes alight with wonder and gleeful geekery. "Hi, baby."

"We decided we'd call her Celeste," Sal said, smiling. Fi looked good - much better than he had the last time she'd seen him.

"How old is she?" He looked up, smiling now though a sadness lingered in his eyes.

"The doctors say she's been in there since February, and it's August now. Six months, almost."

She noticed the look in his eyes. "What's wrong?"

"Huh?" He looked up questioningly, making the sadness more apparent.

"Ye seems sad." She put a hand on the clone's shoulder.

"Oh." He looked away, out over the valley, his hand closing over the data pad he'd been writing on. "I'm just wishing all of this could have happened sooner. Then Omega Squad wouldn't be broken again."

Sal tried not to smile. "Why? Is someone missing?"
