Tyler Owens moved fast. That was what Kit noted when the minute that Kate asked if he could get a new model up, he was practically out the door. She had to blink, processing exactly what was happening. It didn't work very well, she was too happy about the fact that Kate was doing this.
The first thing that happened was Tyler reaching out to the rest of their team. However since it would take them a few hours to get back, Tyler, Kit, and Kate were alone. Both Tyler and Kit somehow felt like the third wheel.
Right now Kit was the center of that, she was sitting on a chair, swinging her legs a little bit while Kate and Tyler talked science. Kit may have been better at it than she was 5 years ago, but it still wasn't exactly her thing. So instead of participating in that, she sat and took pictures of the two of them while they worked. Neither of them noticed.
"Let's see how the model responds," Kit caught the end of Tyler's statement and hopped off her chair to walk over. She peered over his shoulder, just like she used to do when Praveen was looking at the scanner.
She watched closely as the experiment played out, working exactly the way it was supposed to.
"So in theory.." she slowly started speaking. Kate looked at her. "This should have worked?"
Kate looked at her with a soft smile before it fell a little when she looked back at the computer.
"Yeah in theory," she agreed. "But it wasn't an EF5 that day. I mean.. we never had a chance." Kit placed a hand on top of Kate's, unable to help herself. Kate apparently didn't mind because instead of pulling away, she flipped her own hand and linked her fingers with Kit's.
Tyler noticed this too, he shook his head a bit. Then he looked from the computer to the two women and sent them both a soft grin.
"You want one?" Kate looked at Kit. Like she wanted to make sure she was okay with this. There was an unspoken fear in both of them. A fear that they were going to face the same situation they had ended up with last time.
The hope in Kate's eyes was still clear, but it was apparent that if Kit shut it down she would stop. Kit shook her head, that wasn't happening. Kate had wanted this for years, and she deserved her chance to prove her theory right. So with a simple shrug, she looked at Tyler.
"Hell yeah, we want one."
....
They were about to head out to go chasing, Kit was standing in her room looking at herself in the mirror. She was wearing her usual flannel and boots, but her eyes went back to her dress and the hat Kate had bought her.
It was a stupid decision really, she didn't know why she was struggling so hard with what to wear. It was like there were two options. The two different versions of herself, old and new. Was she ready to face them both?
