Her expression darkens and she takes a slow sip of her coffee.
"I felt it, just for a bit," she says. "When I was testing the border, when it-" She half-shrugs it off, looking away. "Lucifer's been data gathering, gives stuff to me like dead mice from a frickin' cat. It's scary as hell. I have never seen anything this powerful, never."
She looks at Daniel again. She hasn't really mentioned Lucifer helping her to anyone but since she and Daniel met him together, well... it seems fair. And it's kind of a relief to mention it. "It's like... it has a completely measured, tailored response to absolutely everything. Every attempt to breach it. When it felt me pushing from the other side, it pulled me in, sealed up behind me. And then did it again the other day, like a fucking warning shot."
She takes another drink and sets the mug on the counter to gesticulate. Fuck she misses being able to gesticulate and drink coffee at the same time.
"The rumors are that the Rift flipped its shit because somebody got out," she says. "Someone figured this out, broke through. These two fellas and their kids, uh, Andrew Noble and James Wood, I think? I didn't know them. I don't know how they did it, I just know it can be done."
Could be done. She looks ruefully down at her dead arm.
"Can you sense any kind of weakness at all," she murmurs, not really daring to hope, picking up her coffee once more.
