[ Really Dean, you should have seen that one coming.
It's easy to forget for a moment that this probably isn't anything good. Being dragged to Wonderland was a situation in and of itself, but it happening again? River wasn't kidding when she said it was 'unlikely' - hell, the chances of winning the lottery had to be higher than the likelihood of strange unseen forces pulling all three of them back together again - but it's hard to feel anything other than incredibly lucky with the two of them there.
Being back in this kind of situation would be hard on anyone, harder on River than your average person most likely, and it's a lot easier to stave off any kind of real panic with familiar faces around. She has Simon, she has far more of her old crew here than she ever could have hoped for, and she has her chosen family too. She isn't about to start questioning that kind of luck. ]
Now.
[ She stands up a little straighter once the hug releases, tries to look a little more serious (though the smile she can't quite get rid of ruins the effect a little). ] She needs to know the details. I have questions, where can I find the answers?
i am the weak link
