The smack came and there was a snap of bone underneath Fanya's skin. Fanya bit her lip hard and stifled a scream of pain which came out to be a very quiet groan in the end, barely audible for all except for Sue. She reflexively snapped her hand to hold her upper arm where the shoulder had either dislocated slightly or a fracture appeared, her eyes closed lightly, trying to keep the pain contained.<br/><br/>Fanya's thoughts swam around her head trying their best to cover the pain she was feeling. She realized in that moment that the pain in her shoulder was nothing like the pain in her heart. She didn't force Rebecca to do what she did. She didn't even initiate it herself.<i>But she didn't stop her either and she probably did encourage her too.</i>And she was the one who has been trying to take care of Sue's needs at the end of day, risking her own humanity to do it.

So... in the end, she was the pound of flesh... again for all. She was at least use to that.<br/><br/>Fanya's eyes opened, she looked back to Sue and nodded, noticing that the sickly yellow glare wasn't there but it was just Sue. Her gaze wasn't in anger or even pain. Just acknowledgement of what she did and said, her face stoic and steely.<br/><br/>Fanya stood up in order to walk back to her desk, letting go of her arm now, a purple and blue bruise forming on her shoulder and at that moment<b><span style="color: red"> Rebecca</span></b>walked in. Fanya managed a smile at her, a soft, sad and quiet one and then as suddenly it was there, it was gone as she got back to her desk.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: purple">Emma, I will be sending D along with another employee of mine to the Hoover Dam to find out what happened while we are on our mission. It's still important to know what Thule knows as well.</span>"  She turned to the Doctor on the couch, "<span style="color: purple">It's okay, Simon, you can pretend to be awake now.</span>"<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
