[ At first, Maine doesn't notice her. He's preoccupied with scanning his surroundings, and the hair that would ordinarily draw his eye is just one more dot of red on his visor. He should clean the blood off, as soon as he gets a chance. But, since that will involve removing his helmet, he ignores it as best he can for the moment.

This may be a painkiller-induced dream, but he's not about to shed part of his armor unless he has to. Not in an unfamiliar environment. Not after getting shot in the fucking throat.

But when he turns his head again, he catches sight of her. Recognition hits him like a blow to the gut — or maybe that's just the breath he lets out, broad shoulders sagging slightly as relief sweeps through him.

Carolina.

A second later, he gives his head a little shake. Stupid. Of course she's here. Last thing he remembers is fighting back-to-back with her on that flatbed. Why wouldn't she show up in his dream?

Still, it's good to see her. And, as Maine starts making his way towards her, briefcase on his back and Brute Shot at his side, there's no trace of hostility in his stance.

(He's still too far off to make out the changes in her face. Too far away to see that she's much older than he remembers.) ]
