"They say we are asleep until we fall in love
We are children of dust and ashes
But when we fall in love we wake up
And we are a god and angels weep
But if I die here tonight
I die in my sleep"

Rhea walked into the precinct in her civilian clothes. Which was rather odd to her. All of them had agreed that they wanted one person at the precinct to watch over everyone just in case the Hand figured out that they were here. Rhea wanted to be able to help but Luke and Stick stayed behind to watch Danny, while Jessica and Matt searched for more information on what the Hand was doing here.
She was playing card games with Zoe. Of all things for her to be doing she was playing speed. Rhea felt wrong not going out and doing stuff but honestly, she understood why she was told to come to the precinct.
Zoe, Foggy, Karen, and Benicia didn't say a thing about what was happening because they could tell that Rhea was overwhelmed with everything. Maybe Rhea being there was good for her, whether she was worried or not.
Rhea wasn't sure when the others had fallen asleep. She turned her head to see that Foggy was sleeping with his head on the table. While Karen and Zoe were leaning against one another. Benicia was the only one still awake.
"You're up."
"Mmhm." Benicia rubbed her eyes from under her glasses and leaned back in her chair, "Can't seem to fall asleep."
"I understand that." Rhea eyed Benicia for a couple of minutes, "How is everything? Between you and Matt, I mean?"
Benicia had expected another topic of conversation, "What do you mean?"
"Well, I could have been the one to get all of you but Matt made it very clear that he would get you and bring you here." Rhea pointed out to her, she looked around the room full of others. She recognized Colleen and Claire in the room. "You two have been talking, right?"
"A bit..." Benicia admitted to her as she adjusted her glasses on her face, "I didn't stop caring about him or anything. I just think... I don't know. I don't think we're built for anything but... this between each other. You know?"
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know." Benicia crossed her arms as she sunk even further into her seat, "I just think... Maybe I'm just not good enough to have something like you or Karen. I mean Matt, he didn't-" She laughed nervously as she caught the look on Rhea's face, "Oh, ignore me. I'm just being all sad and stuff. Probably the anxiety of the situation."
"Benny, hon, you cannot possibly think it's your fault that you and Matt broke up."
Benicia breathed in deeply and sighed, which suddenly turned into a tired laugh, "I don't know what I think. Ah, can we-can we not have this conversation? I don't really want to talk about why Matt and I broke up in the first place."
"I just know that you two still really care about each other. I mean, it's very clear-" Rhea tried to reach for Benicia's hand, but she only recoiled away from her, "Just... whatever happens between you two... must take into consideration of your feelings first."
