For my mac-reye

Illusion

It was the little things that she'd learned to notice, the small details that didn't quite fit. The curious looked, it was the one that was involved who turned away. It was only natural to turn to see where the police car went, or to look in the direction of the sound of explosives. Everyone wanted their moment of fame so why would someone duck out of view of the news camera? She saw the small things, it was the only way to survive, see the bits that were out of place or your were dead.

It wasn't just training it was instinct so when she threw back her head and laughed, the reflection of a woman tensing at the sound caught her eye. It didn't make sense, didn't fit and so she looked closer at the reflection in the glass. A closer look at the woman seated only three tables away.

"So tell me," Her expression was relaxed but there was an edge to her voice as she rested her hand against his cheek and turned his head slight towards the window. "Are you seeing what I see?"

"I don't know…" He started, but then trailed off as he looked at the window rather than through it. "I think I see dead people. This is one of those times when I really wish I hadn't quit smoking."

"Hmm." Gisele Yashar sighed under her breath as she continued to study the dark haired woman's reflection. "If I didn't know better I'd say it was drinking we both needed to give up. It's almost enough to make me doubt my eyes."

"Only almost?" Han quipped, she'd once told him that she'd leaned to trust her senses, it was a good way to stay alive. Alive, that was the point, the question was, "What the hell are we going to do now?"

XXXXXXXXXX

Letty stared at her reflection in the mirror above the skin in the small rest room. She needed to think and to focus, and to come up with an escape plan.

Her first thought was one of pure panic, not here, not now, not her. And the Letty's eyes had focused on Gisele's companion and it was as if the bottom had dropped out of her world for the second time. Han!? But the only thing, so far as she knew that connected those two was her. But she was dead which meant that the only connection that there could be was… Dom.

It had taken every once of will power Letty possessed to keep her seated in her chair. Every instinct she had was screaming at her to simply drop everything and run, to run as far and fast as she could. She had no idea how the forma Mossad agent fitted in to everything, but if Han saw her Letty knew he'd either try and take her home or call Dom and then everything would be over. Because once they knew she was still alive she'd never be able to stay away and even if she could Dom would track her to the gates of hell and beyond.

The sound of the rest room door opening caused Letty to jerk upright and spin round but it was already too late. Gisele hadn't changed, she'd never be full figured but she had the slender build and long limbs that wouldn't have looked out of place on a catwalk. And she still had a predators keen eyes. Letty had spoken to her all of twice and each time it had been a brief encounter, but on the other hand she couldn't picture Han walking into a woman's restroom in Berlin.

It wasn't the first time she had seen Letty, but it was Gisele's first time when she knew who and what the other woman was. She had felt a small twinge of sorrow the first time she had seen her, knowing what was to happen and for a moment had considered telling the dark haired woman with the intense dark eyes to just go and forget everything. But she hadn't, it was business and they all had a job to do, still there had been that moment. It wasn't until after everything was over and Braga was imprisoned and Feinx was dead that she really connected the dark haired woman and Dom's twenty percent angel.

"So," She said softly as she studied Dom's Letty, who stood with straight back and eyes defiant, studying her right back. "You are the one."

"The one, what?" Letty snapped, refusing to shift under the steady gaze even though she longed to just shove the other woman aside and just run.

"The one with the eyes of course." And Letty saw something in the other woman's face soften in understanding. "The eyes that could see through it all, to the good… in him."

(A/N) Yeah so we all know this isn't how it happens but I couldn't get the picture of Letty and Gisele out of my head. Plus I love the idea of Gisele coming out with a rehashed version of Dom's 'all about the eyes' speech. And sorry for the delay in posting I'll try and of better next week.
