She heard there was a man named Phil Coulson she needed to meet. He'd been here a long time, and maybe he could answer the questions that no one else could. Things were nagging in her mind more than the polarity being just utterly wrong. She wanted to talk to the Professor, but he was Charles here - not quite the Professor yet. It wasn't fair to bother him with her years of worry when she was a stranger to him. Her father was an even more complicated subject. She wanted to reach out, but she feared going back to her reality where this nicer version... wasn't.
Oh, and on top of it, she put her foot in her mouth and made things awkward with Bobby. That was great. She hadn't intended to, of course. It just sort of happened, and she couldn't unring a bell. If she honest with herself, she was overwhelmed by the fact that Alex Summers hadn't found a way to this place to rescue her in his brash yet endearing sort of way. She would be so relieved and mad and kiss him and regret it, and that was how they worked. But there was no Alex. He wasn't going to show up and save her this time. She had to accept it.
That's why she was knocking on the door to the office of Phil Coulson, hoping he would take one look at her too-puffy eyes and know everything - or maybe he had been here long enough to at least go great, another one. She was trying so hard to keep up a brave face, pretend this was all some sort of vacation, but she was quickly beginning to unravel. The trouble was there was no one to catch her this time.
