Piotr comes back to Serenity after spending a few hours wandering New York.

He can't go charging in to free her. Not alone. And both Logan and Kurt are out of contact. He won't know who to trust. He doesn't know about bringing in others, because. Kitty might be making a point, she likes to make those. He was paying attention when she told him stories of her life at the University of Chicago. And he isn't sure he can face Scott right now. Not just yet. He might lose his temper because he didn't help her, they're family.

So, he wanders back to Serenity, and finds himself in the cargo bay again at the foot of the stairs. And isn't sure what to do from there. He has her box in his duffel bag over his shoulder but should give out her notes? She isn't dead. But.

He really isn't very good at this side of being a hero.

First the toes touch down, foot pointed. Then the slow shift of weight: to the ball of the foot, the slowly flattening arch, and finally the heel, in a slow deliberate sway downwards. Next step: repeat.

One hand slides along the wire bannister, fingertips just brushing the metal. River's gaze is focused on the air three steps down, a foot above the stairway.

Whatever else, River will always be a dancer.
