She went inside and dropped her bag on the king-sized bed. The room was austere. The walls were the same peachy-beige stucco as the rest of the fort. A white-linen duvet cover was spread over the bed with a beige wool throw folded at the foot of the bed. Three rows of different-sized pillows in more white linen were lined up like soldiers at the head of the bed. A set of antique wooden doors, brown and weathered, framed the end of the bed. Really, the headboard was the only decoration in the bland room. Hotel rooms had more sense of style. Two nightstands with lamps flanked the bed. A set of single-paned double French doors let light in and opened to a terrace.

Selena walked into the closet, then into the big bathroom. Not much to see in either space, except for the fact that both rooms were obviously designed for large humans, given the height of the ceilings and fixtures. She made use of the restroom, then washed her hands and face. For a moment, she stared at the water slipping through her fingers. This day had not gone as she’d expected.

Nor had her life, for that matter.

She plugged her phone in. Hopefully after the coming convo in the kitchen, it would have enough power to make a call. She shoved her hands into her jeans, unsure what to do with herself. No point hiding. She’d better get down to the kitchen to hear them out. Kit and the rest of her team would go bonkers once they discovered she was missing, so hopefully she could reach them first.

She paused with her hand on her doorknob, remembering her visceral reaction to Bastion just a few minutes ago. She’d had no control over herself. She’d had to touch him. Kissing him seemed the only thing she could have done at just that moment, after seeing he was alive and healing. She needed to get her head on straight and get a lock on her emotions. She was alone in unknown territory—best make the most of it so she could bring good intel back to her team.

Her composure resolved, she left her room and went around the bend in the hallway. As she reached the stairs, Bastion’s door opened and a wheelchair came out. By itself. Moving on its own locomotion, it turned down the hallway but didn’t take the stairs—because what self-running wheelchair did that? As far as Selena could tell, it wasn’t motorized, so she had no idea how it was moving. But after seeing all the tricks Bastion had pulled while she was at her team’s headquarters, this didn’t surprise her. Much.

She followed it past the stairs, down a short hallway, down another hallway, and into a vestibule with an elevator. The smell of laundry detergent was strong. She could hear machines running in an area behind a door.

Such a human activity in a house of altered reality.

The elevator opened. The chair entered. Selena followed it. A button lit up.
