    Summary

    "You've heard me speak Farsi before, it's not a big deal."

    Except that — Root has not heard Shaw speak Farsi before.

    or Five times Root hears Shaw speaking Farsi and one time Shaw speaks Farsi directly to her (or more broadly, an insight into Shaw's recovery and the things that help to keep her grounded in reality).

    Summary

    “Keep still.”
    “It hurts,” she whines. Shaw rolls her eyes. Root’s taken worse than this without complaint. She’s just being a baby so Shaw’ll be nice to her.
    Good luck with that.
    “Don’t get stabbed then.”

    Summary

    You only manage to ignore Her for a week. Your fingers get itchy, your brain fuzzy. Your leg jumps as you sit in shitty diners drinking shitty coffee wishing you could bring yourself to pick up any other kind of work. Idleness doesn’t agree with you. It never has. You think of maybe going back to Miami and sitting at that bar. Drinking something that tastes of not-actually-strawberry through a swirly straw. That thought gets cut short, though, on account of the way it makes you feel as though you’ve taken a spray of pellets to the abdomen and a four-by-four to the head at once.

    ie, a look into sameen's beautiful and twisted mind after it's all over. because i can't help myself. jonathan nolan i am coming for you (affectionate).

    Summary

    "Greer?" Stanton mumbles, finally opening her eyes to someone standing by the hospital bed.

    "Rousseau," Martine says.

    Stanton laughs. "Greer finally got tired of monologuing and sent me a pretty girl? Lucky me."

    (Martine Rousseau watches Shaw go through Samaritan's simulations, and remembers Kara Stanton)
