Summary
Three is behaving oddly.
There's a surprisingly ordinary explanation, it's just that the explanation isn't fun for anyone.

Summary
"Are you a fucking idiot?" Zosia snaps. "If you want to kill yourself, fine—good, actually—but don't take me out with you."
Carol scoffs. "I—well, first of all, you're fucking welcome."
"What?"
"For getting you out?"

“Helen knew how… scared you were. She didn’t want to spook you, which is why she waited. She loved you after knowing you for only a few months, but knew if she took that step forward, you would…”
“But I didn’t,” Carol said. “I didn’t run.”
“No,” Zosia said quietly. “You didn’t.”

“What are you proposing?”
“A hug.”
A choked laugh bubbled in Carol’s throat. “A hug?”

Summary
A week after Zosia’s heart attack, she returned to Carol. Like she was a dog Carol had left in the middle of the woods because she hadn’t the heart to shoot it.

Summary
Breakup sex had never really been Carol’s style. She liked a clean cut, a scalpel’s edge, mostly because she was the one doing the breaking and her exes had never been that interested in trying to fight for her. So maybe her lack of experience in that arena was why she found herself intertwined with Zosia not even an hour after the illusion had been shattered.
Carol is bad at breakups. Time to save the (girl) world about it.

Summary
“We can help,” Zosia said, suddenly right behind her. Carol jumped, then relaxed when she felt Zosia’s hand rest on her back. “Here,” she whispered.
Her fingers were cool as she brushed the hair away from Carol’s face, soothing in their slow pace, their gentle touch. Carol winced as the room began to spin, and Zosia pouted.
“Shh, Carol,” she murmured. Carol whined, but Zosia just guided her by the back while she cooed. “Let us help.”
(carol gets too drunk. zosia takes care of her.)

Summary
For only a second, and maybe she imagined it, Carol thought she saw a glimmer of the most human expression Zosia had worn yet: annoyance.
“And you’ll still be working on reversing this?” Zosia asked.
“We wouldn’t be very good heroes if we didn’t, now would we?”

or: Carol and Manousos have found a way to (maybe) undo the apocalypse. They need a willing(?) participant to help their cause.

Summary
Carol drew near and loomed over the unresisting woman. Zosia’s eyes, delicate and expectant, looked up at her. She looked tall from down here. Imposing, even. It was apt for a personality as big as hers. The world shrank under the weight of it.
“Zosia,” Carol said. Slow, like she was pronouncing it for the first time. “Do you know that you’re pretty?”

or: What if Zosia interrupted Carol's Thiopental vlog? A variation on 1x04 from Zosia's POV.

Summary
“At least you are consistent with your body horror tropes,” she mumbles, disturbed and intrigued for the wrong reasons all at once. If she lingers any longer on that matter, she might have to wipe off her just eaten breakfast from the kitchen floor.
Zosia says nothing to that. Why would the Venus flytrap be concerned with the fly it has already successfully trapped?

Summary
“What do you all dream about, anyway,” Carol asked.
“Colors,” Zosia said. “And language, sound. Architecture.”
Carol lifted her head. “Architecture?”
Zosia either smiled with just one side of her mouth — which was new — or Carol could only see one side — which was also new. In either case, her own mouth felt dry.
“Systems,” Zosia said. “Simplicity. We’re interested in continuity.”

Summary
Yesterday, Rita had smashed Cage so hard across the face in the mech suit that she had been pretty sure his nose was broken. Don’t, don’t, he’d said when she’d come toward him across the mat for a better look. Please, she’d snapped, I’m not going to do anything. Then softened: Cage, I’m honestly not. He’d let her look. His eye was red in the socket, rolling. She’d pressed just under it with fingertips.
This is going to bruise like a motherfucker, she’d said, and it had.

One thing about Tom Cruise is that he had had aliens in his brain long before there were aliens in his brain, Carol thinks, so probably this was all going really great for him.

"So. Was there someone in your life?"
He doesn't reply right away. The thing about Manousos, she's realizing, is that he calculates everything to a tee. A thousand possibilities seem to run through his brain in the span of a half-second before he finally reveals what he's decided on.
