Daine glances up at him in confusion and alarm as he draws her hands away, allowing the light inside of him to seep out, unabated. She opens her mouth to object, but he cuts her off with his promise to take her - back to Earth? They're not on Earth already? She's given little time to wonder where this 'heaven' place is located, or to be grateful it's either on another planet or in a different realm, before Gabriel presses his fingers to her forehead and brings her somewhere she does recognize: Bethesda Terrace. They're back in the park.
The wind hits her, and she hunches her back to it, arms wrapped around herself as she looks around the deserted terrace. Something isn't right. She casts a nervous glance up at the rift, a bright tear that reminds her of the holes in the barrier - and Gabriel's wound. When she turns to check on him, she finds the terrible gash in his chest has vanished, but her relief is short-lived. He still doesn't look very well, and she wonders if he has some sort of injury she can't see.
He seems surprised to see her, as if he'd forgotten she was there in the brief moments she'd been turned away from him. Daine frowns as he starts talking gibberish again, and it deepens as he reaches for her and is forced to stop, his expression pained. They have to get indoors, Daine decides. Whatever's wrong with him can be sorted out once they're out of the cold and wind. At least the base is close by.
"Let's go in." She takes his arm to gently steer him in the right direction, mindful of his hurts. "I'll help you." It's hard to sound encouraging when she has to shout a bit to be heard over the wind, but she tries.
