"I won't," she said quickly and the look on her face of mixed shame and determination said she meant it. She only wriggled away for a second in Tony's grasp, mostly out of habit, before she accepted being carried and held onto. She was glad they'd taken their reunion out of the hallway and he was reminding her even more of her Dad, actually, who'd always got down on her level to talk to her, look her in the face. No one else had ever really done that, not even her Mom. "I didn't even expect to be gone so long, you know?" Which was Cassie code for it was stupid to go, but she wouldn't admit that. She would never ever admit she was wrong.
"We found who Daisy looking for but then there were zombies and everything was grounded and it was impossible to get out and we've spent months just getting here. It was- it was horrible, Tony." She didn't really need to tell him that, it looked pretty freaking horrible here, too, but it wasn't like she'd been able to complain on the road. They'd had to keep it together, to get by, survive. They couldn't admit how bad it was because that would've meant maybe losing what little hope they had left and if that happened maybe they never would've made it back. But they had and now Cassie was here and she could get it all out and then let it all go. There was new hope now, wasn't there? Knowing that at least most of her weird little family in this universe had survived.
