Rebecca is grabbing lunch in the cafeteria! She doesn't feel the need to go all the way back to the pods, grabbing actual food, even if she does still avoid meat.

After paying, she looks around for an empty space!

With the talk of war the Cafeteria was buzzing with excitement and dread. People talking about their orders, where they were being shipped to. How they thought it would go. And in general just trying to enjoy the time they had left before everything changed. As it was most of the tables were full, or moderately busy with a few being sparsely populated. One of those tables had Mike, sitting alone eating a sandwich.

Rebecca considers sitting with Mike on her second round of checking for spaces. She can't help but think of what Rhett had said to her the night he and Jan Di had kidnapped her for game night. She'd told him she knew a burned bridge when she made one, but was it really that? Meh at if she could salvage it? Hell, she didn't even know if he was going off to war.

Only one way to find out.

"Busy place, huh?" She offers a tiny smile as she sits kitty corner from him on the opposite side of the table.

He looked up, an eyebrow raising in surprise upon seeing Rebecca of all people sit down next to him. He hadn't really expected that.

"For now. It will quiet down when we ship out."

"Yeah."' She nods and ignores the brow raise for now. As awkward as this could be, she's determined to push through it.

"I take it you're going overseas?" It makes sense with Mike. She can't see him just sitting and hanging back in the states.

"Mhm. When I first joined I told one of the Senior Agents I wasn't intimidated by those bullies."

And he wasn't changing his tune now.

"I can see that." Her smile warms a touch at the words for a moment and she nods.

"Hoe have you been, otherwise?" Time to jump headlong into a pile of awkward. She may have food on her tray, but she's not touching it. Thinking about it is enough to make her nauseous with the way this could go hanging over her thoughts. But she had chosen this spot as well as to speak first, so no backing out now.

"I've been alright." She laces her bare fingers together in front of her, but doesn't stretch with food and so many people around.

"Kind of busy. Went back in time a couple of weeks ago and wound up in the old west."

Her smile turns sheepish, but she doesn't look away.

"Yeah, sounds crazy I know. That bank robbery a little while ago? This lady pushing for it sent us back in time. Billy the Kid and everything."

"Oh..."

He'd look down at his sandwich as he tried to process what she was saying. It seemed like a stupid thing to lie about, and weird stuff happened all the time since Metahumans came into the mix. So he decided that she was telling the truth.

"That must have been weird. I'm glad you made it back safely."

She lets him process at his own pace, glad that it's Mike. He got it from the first that things in life are weird.

"So am I." She lets her hands fall free at the words. That was a good sign, right.

"It was weird, but cool in it's own way." When you weren't fighting against future tech or having your boyfriend nearly die.

"It's good to come back and see familiar faces."

He'd nod. He'd imagine it would be.

"What was it like?"

"It was...a lot of things." She shakes her head. "Amazing, to go back in time, but kind of wary too? So much of it was unfamiliar, and we had this really aggravating girl with us. She acted like it was nothing." A small shrug.

"It was nice, too, though. We got to see the world in a way you can't in the present. Real stars and no light pollution. A marshal and sheriff and local tribe." She grins.

"Feels like it came right out of a novel."

"A girl named alice. Apparently, she came from the future and traveled through a 'rabbit hole.'" She chuckles, her tone implying air quotes she doesn't physically make. "Pretty glib, made things difficult, just the usual things some people expect, I guess."

"I don't know. Her expression and voice soften for a moment. Hopefully Alice had made it back home to her own timeline - without any damage.

"But what about you? What have you been up to?" It didn't have to be missions; Rebecca missed talking and sometimes not-talking to Mike. He'd been one of her first friends here and she hadn't exactly done well in returning the favor.

"Training, playing basketball."

Much more than baseball as of late.

"I was in Europe for a bit, and sounds like I will be going back."

"Yeah?" She nods a little, risking a metaphorical toe in the water. "I still need to come see you play sometime." Or not. She doens't want him to...well. A lot of things are what she doesn't want.

"Were you a part of Belarus then?"

"Yeah, I was."

He didn't feel the need to go into detail on the mission though. It would be in their files.

"I just play on campus. Nothing fancy."

Rebecca doesn't press the situation.

"Well it's still something, right? Doesn't have to be fancy." Not the same as the team he'd been kicked off of, but here there were surely other players, each with their own powers.

"Good." Her next chuckle is a little more confident. "I'd offer to play you sometime, but I've never played."
