Summary: Derek tries to talk to Eliot again

The past few days had been extremely busy, trying to adjust schedules and routines to a world with no schedules and routines, using the sun and the rain as much as the watches. Still there was time to catch up with people, and Derek was trying to use the time to talk to the new arrivals, get a sense of who they were, profiling without meaning to. There were two people that he wanted to talk to. Not new arrivals, but they might as well be in a way, because half of the team didn't know. Of course, they also had it worse, because the half that did know didn't trust them.

He approached Eliot, while April was putting Eve in the car to sleep. "Hey there. Maybe we could join your wife and have a little talk." It wouldnt give them complete privacy, but there was no such things as privacy when they were living on top of each other, and this was the best they could do without risking lives.

"So why are we looking for a way home? Why aren't we looking for a place to settle, somewhere we could build a community, a school for our children, real homes? A Dimension where we don't have to run from the government or submit to them, but where we can just live in peace without moving every few months?" April asked, knowing that if they did that, she wouldn't be the one to leave, though she wasn't sure about Eliot.

"I know a lot of you want to return home, to fight, to work for the government, to do the right thing. You're military, agents, law enforcement or family - it's what you do, and I get that, but that option isn't there for all of us. You can't believe the government would just accept Eliot being there, can you? And I know the option of keeping this group a secret from the government isn't one you'd consider. It's not what you want, and I respect that, but it also means that the option of returning with you simply isn't there for us, at least not if we want to stay together."

"I'm not judging how they feel, or holding it against them, or telling them to feel differently. We'll try to think about what we say in the future, however. I have no reason to want to upset people further."
