A/N: Sorry it's short but there's more Alice/Rain.
The door to the Hive slides up. The room within is dark. One, JD, and Red stand ready with their guns. "JD," mutters One. JD lowers his night-vision goggles and enters the darkness. He takes each step slowly.
He hears a faint rustling from another part of the room. He stops and looks around for a threat and everyone else hears it too, standing alert.
When it stops, JD continues. "Got it!" he calls out from the once black room, which is now blinding with florescent lights shining down to the floors and their reflections bouncing back.
Sounds of the city play quietly through speakers on the walls. One and Red enter first and join JD by the elevators. Kaplan and the medic check the status of the facility on their wrist monitors. "Fuel-on content is dissipated," informs the medic.
Rain escorts Matt into the room and Alice follows along with Spencer and the final soldier. "Let's check out that elevator," says One to JD. Matt, Alice, and Spencer go to the window to pass the time. The image on the other side of the window is nothing but a hologram.
"Makes it easier to work underground, thinking there's a view," explains Matt. Alice looks at him then turns to see Rain staring blankly into space. She slowly approaches her, but Rain doesn't even seem to notice. "Hey," Rain looks at her then back to her fellow soldiers working to open the elevator doors, "Can I ask you something?"
Rain tenses slightly, "Does it matter if I say 'no'?" Alice had had enough of this woman's rude attitude towards her, "Did I do something to offend you? Why are you so hostile towards me?"
"It's just how I am, get used to it or leave." Alice becomes shy when she mutters, "No you're not…I..I have these..memories.." Rain looks at her, "Stop. Do not talk about it. It's easier if you don't remember."
"Remember what? Alice 's growing confusion and excitement to find answers and Rain's building anger catches some of the others attention. "Please...what were we…we looked happy…" says Alice and then she tries to take Rain's hand. As soon as they come in contact she's hit with another memory.
They're laying down in the waves of the beach from the photo. Rain is on top of Alice and they're gazing into each other's eyes. Alice is caressing Rain's cheek with one hand and the other is on her hip and Rain's arms are wrapped aroumd Alice.
Rain flinches at the contact and backs away, "Don't FUCKING touch me!" Everyone stops and stares at the frantic Latino, who's breathing heavy and staring at the floor. Alice is shocked by the outburst and waits for someone to say something.
One storms over to Rain, "Calm it down Ocampo." Rain takes slower, deeper breaths and walks away to be alone. Alice and One share a moment looking at the troubled girl and then at each other.
He go back to help JD with the elevator. Everyone else is staring at Alice and she feels naked under their eyes.
One and JD finally pry the doors open with a crowbar. The leader points his weapon down the shaft, expecting an enemy. JD takes a flare from his belt and pops it. He drops it down shaft to light the way.
The green hue from the flare continues to fall down a steep tunnel and lands on top of the elevator car that appears to have crashed. "Looks like we're taking the stairs," jokes JD.
