"Sometimes memories are the worst forms of torture."

"Well, if it's not frostbite, then what is it?"
"It's disgusting is what it is, Carol," Gwen scrunches up her face.
"Yeah, seriously. Listen to Pengwen and get it off the table. We're eating h...

Bang, Bang, Bang
Gwen groans and opens her eyes, immediately scrunching her nose. "Why does it smell like piss?"
"Hey! Hey!" Robin rushes over to Erica and takes the green tube out of her hands. "Careful! We don't even know what that is."
"Gunther?" Gwen looks around and finds Gunther on the floor next to her, cuddled into her side. Gwen picks him up carefully and smiles. "Mornin' buddy."
"Exactly," Erica responds to Robin. "It could be useful."
"Useful how?" Robin asks.
"We can survive down here a long time without food, but if the human body doesn't get water, it will die."

Noises from outside cause Gwen to stand and Robin to place her ear on the door of the elevator while Erica takes the green tube back into her grasp.
"What is it?" Gwen asks Robin from beside Erica.
Robin grabs Erica and Gwen with wide eyes. "We've got company."

Gwen clutches her lizard close to her chest as Steve glances at everyone with a finger on his lips. When his gaze lands on Erica, he noticeably comes up with an idea, grabbing the green tube from her grasp.
As the men leave and the door begins to close, the five of them jump down from the roof. Steve dives to shove the green tube under the door just before it closes.
