Summary: Savannah knows something strange is going on

Savannah had never migraines. At best, she got headaches and not often, but lately she was getting buzzes, like really light headaches that would disappear just as quickly. She probably would have spoken up if they were home since there were machines to check this things. Probably. Maybe. Here, talking wouldn't help.

At least until today.

The headache was not really a headache. She could feel a pull, almost a blackness that opened up and then was swallowed again. She knew that this was something more than a migraine. She spoke with Marty first and they both agreed that she should talk to G.

"It's Savannah's time," she said with a grin. It was much easier to hijack the situation, instead of saying that she had some freaky power she didn't understand.

She locked her arm with G's and walked as far away from the rest as safely possible. "I'm getting some kind of weird power," she said when they were alone. "I'm... not sure what. It's like... like a big rip in how things should be, like I'm connected with the planet, or time, or dimension, but I can't feel it until something goes wrong. Or at least I think that's what it is. At first it was just like... some minor headache, an annoyance, but it just happened today and it was different. It's like I could feel this... I'm not sure what thisis."

"I guess I'm on a schedule," G teased, shrugging at Emily as Savannah led him away. They'd been discussing training Claudia's new power. It seemed more closely related to Dom's but as he had his hands full with the machine and finally mourning Jenna, Emily was going to take point. Her power was close enough in function and she had gained a good deal of control since the school. The fact she was a lead and would be running the same sort of drills G would have anyway would keep anyone from asking too many questions about her power, which they'd kept nearly as private as Marty's, if not the nature at least exactly how powerful she was.

Following Savannah out, he cocked an eyebrow at her announcement. If he hadn't had a primer on dimensional awareness from John and Dom when they first arrived, he would have taken what she said as hyperbole. But, that wouldn't have been Savannah, either. And he didn't like what he was hearing when his brain automatically leapt to that assumption. "How often has this happened since you got here?"

"Of course you are, unfortunately it's not mine. I still need you and Sam to base for me. You only promised me back in early 2011. I think sooner or later we'll get there," she said, but she was smiling. She had given up that dream long ago, not that one day she wouldn't get the to base for her, even if it was for just one or two stunts.

"The headaches? About six, seven times, all in the past two weeks. I'd say about one per day. The different sensation about twenty minutes ago. Time to figure out what I was feeling and to talk to Marty and here I am. You get the honor of hearing it first." It wasn't really a surprise, and she doubted that Derek would be upset by that.

"Sooner or later," he agreed, knowing it would likely be later and glad she seemed to have finally come to accept that G would always put duty first above the comfort of himself or his family. Not their lives, but their comfort.

"One per day?" Though it sounded like one, it wasn't really a question. It was unsettling, however. If, as he suspected, this was related to the power John and Dom had explained about Vance possessing, that would mean there were rifts here. G sighed. "Marty wouldn't know, unless he was using his power, but what you've described sounds like it could be related to the Director's power. John and Dom were the only ones who knew about it before you all followed us here, so I'm making an educated guess and we will most likely need to talk to them, particularly John who seems to have known since the beginning. But, you described it as being connected to the planet and the dimension. Vance's ability was to sense the rifts and sense the worlds on the other side. That was how he knew where to send us when new arrivals came through. I don't know how it worked or what he dealt with in regard to headaches because he never shared the information. But, that's what it sounds like to me."

"What's another year or so, right? I know you're really doing it for me, giving me an incentive to stay in shape, which-" She span around. "Considering I've got three children, I look amazing. I'm still at a hundred pounds, but I'm still breastfeeding, so I can live with the extra pounds." She didn't mind the way her breasts filled up at all, but she wasn't going to say that to G.

Savannah stopped and thought because this was important. G liked precision and she... didn't until she saw a reason for it. "All right, so about seven in two weeks, so it's more like every other day, but I remember one day it happened twice, and some days it would happen every day and then nothing for a few days. I wasn't really paying attention because I didn't think it meant anything."

Marty might not have known about the power, but he'd suspected and he'd shared like they had shared everything after they talked, but she wasn't sharing that either. "I guess, but then different people, different ways to react to them, right? Look at Robert and Liam. Liam could transport without knowing where that incubator was. Robert needs references. Or look at the twins." She sighed. "Okay, so maybe dimension, but I can't be sure. It could be time or... I don't know, something else. I didn't feel anything from the other side of whatever." She grinned. "As Dom would say, I felt a disturbance in the force."

"As long as you can live with it," G replied, his serious tone belied by the slight smirk. He never would understand her views on her weight. But, as long as she was healthy and not killing herself for a few supposedly extra pounds, he'd learned long ago to just go with it.

"It's okay, Savannah. I wasn't questioning you so much as not liking what it all added up to. If this is something similar to Vance's power and you are sensing rifts opening, I'm not sure what it means." For her, them, or this dimension. It looked like G was going to have to have a conversation with Dom and John that was likely to go mostly over his head. "Do keep track now, though. Until I know what we're dealing with..." he shook his head. This he didn't like. What did it mean that there were rifts here? Was that something they'd created in using the machine? Something that had happened because of what was done in Omega?

"You guess what?" he asked, frowning a moment. Then he snorted. "The Force was already strong with you, young Skywalker. But, I also know Vance couldn't sense things on the other side at first, either. John told us some of how it worked when everyone got here." And he wasn't going to mention the part where it was only Vance's ability that let them get here. If John's hypothesis was right and the strain on his mind was what killed him, G wasn't risking Savannah until they knew more. And he knew if he told her they had no other way of navigating, she'd push herself until she could do it. She might anyway, but G wasn't giving her a reason to until he knew he had no other choice. "About all we can do right now is for you to keep me posted when it happens, let me know what you do sense." And hope they didn't have to go rescue some hapless new arrival landing themselves in a nest somewhere.

"Do I have a choice?" she asked, and she managed to do it without the bitterness she had felt in the past. Things happened, they moved on, and now she had more important things to worry about, like her children and her husband.

"No, I know you weren't. It's just that I wasn't precise at first, because I didn't think it was important, but considering the little we've seen him do, and knowing how much he kept secret, I'm sure that it's more than important." She smiled. "You don't have to tell me to keep track. I figured that out already, which you got a more precise story."

She smirked. "I guess that it could be his power, but it could be something else. Someone once told me not to jump to conclusions. It could be connected to time instead." She was going to pay close attention now. "Do you know what sucks about this power? You can't really train. You have to wait until it happens and then pay attention. It's not like my other one when everything could be turned into training. I'll speak with John, though. Maybe he knows something that could make it easier." Savannah could imagine what he was thinking. "Arrivals were across country, and we have no planes. They'd be dead before we get to them, which could take months." There were casualties, hadn't he taught her that? They'd just have to leave with those.

"Same choice we all have," he said simply.

G returned her smirk. "And when you can tell me something's opening across the continent, which might actually be a bit bigger than before in this world, then I'll worry about any arrivals there." But, it also hadn't escaped his notice how many from L.A. had been pulled through before. If this was something carrying over from Omega, there might still be people they could help. "But, sure, talk to John. I think he's the only one the Director talked to about this at length. If anyone knows anything that can help you, it's probably him." He smirked more deeply. "Unless it's connected to time instead."

He was more concerned with the fact the rifts were happening at all, though and once he briefed Morgan on this development, they might need to talk to John and Dom themselves, make sure they weren't making things worse for any world they traveled to using the machine. The only real comfort was that, with Omega gone, the people who created this situation were unable to make it worse. It was just unfortunate they'd taken an entire dimension of innocents with them.

"Or smaller. I mean we have dinosaurs. Can you believe that? I took pictures and I know it's stupid and I'll never see my parents again, but there are dinosaurs, G. I was totally right to leave. I thought I'd make peace with my decision, my conversion, and Catholicism really does a great job integrating the Bible and evolution, but to see them right here, it's-" She shrugged, but she was also smiling. "It's good to know that I was right."

She wasn't really going to discuss the sizes of the continents or how far she could sense things, because they wouldn't know until something were done. "Let me talk to John and I'll let you know anything else I sense. Now go do whatever you need to be doing when it's not Savannah's time."
