Notes: Hi guys, sorry it took me so long to get this up, I just had surgery. Again thanks to my beta and also I don't own Sense8 or any of the characters. Hope you guys enjoy!

Well, maybe not as ready as he thought. Rajan is waiting for Kala on the street, police behind him jotting down the names of the freed girls, trying to contact their families. Rajan steps forward almost as if to embrace Kala but he then takes note of their joined hands. He steps back.

"Kala, I am so glad you are alright. We were all so worried about you, we looked everywhere. I thought…."

Kala smiles at him, ever-careful of minding his feelings.

"I'm alright Rajan. Thank you for looking for me."

He starts as if to say something but then decided against it.

"I'll let you go. I am sure your family is quite anxious to see you."

Anxious they are indeed. Kala is embraced many times by her family. Each person examining her for injuries and proclaiming how glad they are that she is alright. And throughout all of it, she holds his hand in hers.

She only lets go when the police start to approach them, squeezing his hand gently before releasing it. He turns to the alley way and disappears, something he has always been good at doing. He finds a coffee shop with a little seating area out front with metal garden tables and chairs. As he sits there, sipping on his coffee, which as not as good as of that in Berlin, he contemplates Kala. He knows now that it is fruitless to try and put distance between them again. The days after the murder were brutal and his heart ached at every movement, ached at every sight and sound and touch, and it was worse than any beating he had ever taken. He is so lost in his contemplation that he doesn't notice when Kala sits down at his table. It is only when she takes his hand in hers once again that he jolts out of his trance-like state. He didn't really get a chance to marvel at what it felt like to be touching her earlier, what with all the adrenaline pumping through his veins. It is only now that he has calmed down that he can truly revel in the sensation. It is- there are- there are no words to describe what it feels like. It is like him holding her hand but at the same time feeling her holding his hand, he feels his own emotions and hers, and if he were a believer, this would be the time when he would get on his knees and pray to the gods- her gods, thanking them for such a blessing. She had called it a miracle before, he believes her now. She's smiling at him, and he knows that her dopey, love-struck smile is mirrored on his own face, etched into his skin. She smiles like how he imagines the sun, if it was a person, of course, would smile. He imagines it as something that could bring about life, something that mend rips and tears, knows that it mends the rips and tears in his own heart.

She brings him back to her house, restaurant closed down for the day yet still so full of life. He hears shouting coming from inside, not a shouting he is used, this is not something harsh and full of hate and anger. No, it is a shouting full of love, something playful. She takes a deep breath, squeezes his hand and leads him inside. The entire room turns and stares at them. It is Kala's mother breaks the silence and asks her daughter in what he imagines any loving mother sounds like (but of course, he wouldn't know, or at least remember).

"Kala, who is this?"

"Mama, Papa, this is my friend, Wolfgang. He is from Germany and was coming down to visit India and I said he could stay with us. I hope that's all right, I know that I've just gotten back but he's come all this way."

They all stare at him for a long moment as Kala shifts, nervously.

He extends his hand.

It is Kala's father who comes up to him first, ignoring his hand and instead clasping him into a bone- cracking hug.

"Of course he can stay!"

Everyone comes and says hello, smiling warmly at him, and he imagines that this must be what it feels like to have a family that loves you. Of course, he has Felix and Felix means the world to him but that's quite a bit different from having a loving mother and father.

They show him to the guest room and get him all set up, before heading off to bed themselves. Kala lingers in the doorway, unsure before marching over to him and pulling him down for a kiss goodnight. His eyebrows shoot up in surprise and then he smiles into the kiss, cupping her face in the palm of his hand gently. She pulls back, smiling shyly at him, before leaving to go to her own room.

Kala contacts the rest of the cluster, and it feels so good to be able to again, the drug that was preventing her having worn off. She lets them know that she and Wolfgang are alright and after briefly checking in on her and Wolfgang, Riley disappears, back to caring for Will. The rest all insist on hearing the details and so indulging them, despite her exhaustion, she sits down and begins the story. Nomi eagerly sits at the foot of the bed, enjoying the tale. Sun sits to her right, Capheus, to her left. Capheus interrupts several times throughout the story, excited to hear more of Wolfgang's heroics. Lito, too, is not very good at keeping silent, breaking in at several points to share different scenes from different movies that he has starred in that somehow or another relate to her being kidnapped. Kala can't really see the connection at the moment because she is so exhausted, but she humors him anyway. She finds herself drifting into sleep and her words become mumbles. The others lie her down and tuck her in and right before she passes out, Wolfgang leans down and kisses her forehead, and she feels as though she couldn't be more loved.

The next day it rains, so she takes him to the movies. He remembers the last time she was at the movies, it was when Felix was still unconscious and he thought he might never wake up. She cried for him then, cried for him when he couldn't, and he'll never forget that. He squeezes her hand gently and turns back to the movie. It is a romantic comedy- something about two people who prayed to the gods to find love for them and the gods granted their wish, chaos included and all. In some ways, it reminds him of them. By the time the movie is over, it has stopped raining, so Kala takes him to the temple. There she prays to Ganesha. She looks beautiful as she prays, like some sort of humble goddess. She looks back at him briefly, sun in her eyes and smiling at him. He will never admit to doing anything of the sort, but that day, he looks upon the statue of the god and sends a simple thanks his way.
