[ She can almost feel the way Jack wants to pull her back. She might have let him, this time, if she'd looked at him before she moved. That's a part of the problem; if she lets herself pull away because of what happened, she's going to keep pulling away until it's just like the last time. The other part of the problem is that this is Gabriel Reyes, and he's one of the few people who really know how to hit Jack where it hurts. She's not going to let that happen again - no matter how this shakes out.
Ana puts her hand on her hip and keeps her sidearm pointed at the floor. She doesn't need to hit anything vital to put Gabriel out again - the leg or the thigh or a little higher will work just fine.
Gabriel's reaction to them is instant. Genuine confusion is a novelty, so much so that she barely has anything to compare it to; even when he doesn't know something, he's good at pretending otherwise. She wants to believe that this is exactly what it looks like, but it seems too easy. There's no such thing as a second chance with no strings attached.
Granted, she did just come back from the dead.
She doesn't remember the last time he said her name or Jack's without that underlying edge of anger and malice. ]
What do you remember? When was the last time you saw us?
