Derek nodded. "Actions count, but that's why I said words matter as well as gesture. Team for me, for anyone in law enforcement, for a lot of people here means family. Maybe not in a traditional sense of the word, but it's still family. The problem is that your actions show that while you're ready to help while here, you will leave when it's good for you, and family doesn't do that."

He looked at the two of them. "But this discussion is a result of what Eliot brought up, April. You might not want to be part of the team, but in one conversation several issues came up, which ... well, that concerned me, because like I told Eliot, the four of us will always do what's right, regardless of personal feelings, but if you say things like 'Vance had a chance of heart', then you will get people very upset."

He didn't think it was as simple as she thought. "Maybe you're right, maybe there will be people leaving. I know we have at least two, but they are leaving to fight another war. I doubt anyone would be upset because they want to fight another war or anyone willing to help them. The rest? I don't know all of them, and I can see a few more settling back in their dimension if we find it, but the majority has no home to go back to. In fact, with the exception of Claudia and Helena, everyone else has either been declared dead or has a cover story in place back in our reality. Even if we go back to our reality, it's highly unlikely that anyone will go home. With the two large family groups we have, I think it is unlikely that people will want to return home and be hunted down while being alone." He shrugged. "There's really nothing to deal with, April. You want to leave when you can, and if we manage to leave this dimension, then you can stay wherever, but otherwise, you'll find that no one else is going to relocate, no one is going to risk leaving their family or not having a doctor. For most of those people, this team is family and that's why they take it so personally."
