[Fountain]

Mary had a very eventful couple of days. Her house had been broken into, she had been abducted and then later rescued by her brother and his partner. After she helped her brother and his Task Force out a bit, Steve had put her on a plane back to the mainland as he was convinced that she was safe to be on the island. As much as she didn't want to leave, she knew that he was right and by her not being on the island, it'd give her brother some peace of mind.

She had been in the air for about half and hour to forty-five minutes before she dozed off. Before she knew it, she was waking up underwater. Mary was taken by surprise but she feels a slight push upwards and she rights herself in the water and proceeds to swim towards the surface. Once she breaks the surface, she takes a deep breath as she treads the water, looking around to try to figure out what is going on. Did her plane crash? She looked around but she saw no evidence of such but instead she was in some sort of...fountain?

Swimming over to the side, she climbs out, brushing her now wet hair out of her face and she realizes that the bandage that was wrapped around her hand from her fight with her abductors was missing as was the one on her face. "This is some kind of weird dream right?" She said out loud, mostly to herself.

Mary takes a few minutes to look around from where she stands and she realizes that nothing looks familiar but she starts to walk towards the village. She didn't know where she was going but something told her she may be able to find some answers there.

[Village]

As she walks through the village, she has no plan in mind but she has genuine curiosity. She's still wet from the fountain but she wanders through the village, looking at the various buildings located in the village. All of the buildings look old and not the skyscrapers and built up homes and apartment buildings that she was used to at home. This village looked like something out of a history book.

As she did some exploring she figured she needed to find some help. Maybe someone could explain what was going on and point her in the direction of a telephone. If she could get in touch with her brother, he would come find her. She hiked her backpack up on her shoulder and continued her exploration through the village but now she is also on the lookout for someone who she could talk to.

Steve couldn't help but to smile at his sister at hearing that she hadn't taken anything for the plane ride home. Before she'd left she'd told him that she would try and this was evidence to him that she was making an effort.

With a nod, he shrugs. "It doesn't. I've been here a month and I'm still trying to figure it all out. Those here have ideas, but it seems like whoever brought us here, they're not sharing much." Noticing her actions he reaches to take the knapsack from her. "Have you looked in here yet? You have dry clothes and a warm coat in there." He'd be happy to stand guard while she changed.

"Being a lab rat is no way to make extra cash." He really hoped his sister had never been desperate enough to try that, especially those with drugs involved. "As for here, I don't think we have a choice in the matter, but I do plan on getting us the hell out of here. It just might take a bit of time."

Steve shouldn't get too excited that she hadn't taken anything. She was going to try hard to straighten herself out but it'd be easy for her to slip back into old habits if the opportunity presented itself. As it was, she felt like she could use a hit right now to calm her down.

She lets Steve take the knapsack from her and she looks at it. She hadn't taken the time to rummage through it yet as she was too intent to find someone to help her. "No. I just got out of the water and started walking." She opened it and pulled the dry clothes out. She didn't really want to strip in front of her brother so she decided to just put the coat on. It was better than nothing.

"Sure it is! You have to do the bare minimum for money." She was joking, mostly, and she gave her brother a grin. She had never tried it but she had considered signing up for those drug trials to make some extra cash but she never bothered. "I know you will Steve. I can help."

She looked her brother over again. "Does this place not have a shower? You could really use one."

"Of course you did," he says with an amused smile at her. Holding the bag for her while she looks through it and pulls out the coat. he's surprised that she slips it on before taking out more of the clothes as well. Giving her an unimpressed look, he shakes his head but keeps quiet about it. Sometimes it's better just to let the little things go.

That she does the bare minimum for money has a quick, and some what negative, reply on his tongue but he holds it back when he sees the grin. She's teasing him. Instead of grinning back, he narrows his eyes at her but there is amusement there. Steve's not great with human to human interactions as Danny called it but at least with Mary he doesn't feel the need to try to be. Whether that makes things between them easier or harder is hard to say. "Damn right you're going to help. There's no way I'm doing all the work and allowing you to sit back and put your feet up." By the time he's done speaking the smile has spread to his lips and into the tone of his voice.

Looking down at himself he frowns, then tilts his head so his nose is in his armpit and sniffs. It's not... terrible. "What?! It's not that bad. I've been mostly roughing it in the woods and bathing in the stream near the water fall." He pauses for a moment. "is it really that bad?"

Mary could see Steve had something to say about her choice to just wear the coat and stay in the wet clothes. She waited for him to say something about it and was genuinely surprised when he didn't. She was going to goad him into saying what he wanted to say but she decided against it. She didn't feel like the lecture.

Her grin grew even wider when her brother narrowed his eyes at her. It was easy for her to get a reaction from him. Sometimes she wasn't trying to and didn't welcome the attention but she did like to tease him. She rolled her eyes playfully as he told her that he wasn't going to let her sit back while he does all the work. "I'm more of a supervisor than a do-er." She grinned.

She watched as he smelled himself. "It's bad. You need a shower and a shave as you're starting to resemble a bear." She grinned as she teased him. "And your clothes could likely use a wash."

"Of course you have. Only my brother would be kidnapped and use it as a chance to go camping! There has to be somewhere in this place that you could squat without having to camp in the woods." Mary had no intention to rough it in the woods. She would find somewhere else she could stay. She looked around at their surroundings. The one thing that was very evident to her was the lack of lighting. There was and old-timey feel to the place as well. "So this really isn't some kind of weird nightmare, is it?"

Raising an eyebrow, he looked at his little sister with an amused air of disbelief. "Supervisor? That wouldn't have been my word of choice. Supervisor implies you know what you are doing to begin with."

Crossing his arms across his chest he shakes his head refusing to let her get to him. "It's not that bad if you think my clothes are likely cleaner than I am!" That may not have sounded as good out-loud as it did in his head but that's not the point. Really though he could use a shower and a shave, and his clothes could use a good washing - all far more than he's been doing but at least he has been doing something.

"There are houses. Lots of houses actually in various states of repair and some people just stay at the Inn." Steve had been hoping to find a way to get out of this place and hadn't wanted to become to settled in. Mary arriving though was about to change his all that. His priorities already shifting to include her in all his plans. At her last question his uncrosses his arms and steps in to give her a, hopefully, reassuring hug. "No. I'm sorry. But you're not alone and we'll figure out a way outta here."
