After the blackness came drifting. She floated in a place between times, between alternates, between the seconds on a clock face. Her life drifted past, and she knew who she was. She remembered the project, her first Leap, all those missions, ruining lives, the advantages she'd gained in the present as a result.
Then she remembered Dr. Sam Beckett. The punishment for not killing him. Their next encounter. Leaping together - such a different experience from the loneliness of travelling alone. After that... Leaping was her own for a while, but then they'd caught up with her again. Punishment again. The resigned return to Lothos' control. No choice... no choice...
And then she'd come to the island, and forgotten everything. She could see it now in her mind's eye, the point where her memory simply vanished. It wasn't gone, merely hidden. Here, between Leaps, she had access to it all.
But it wasn't between Leaps. There was still a thread connecting her to the island. She'd be going back soon. The retrieval was incomplete, and for this endless moment she drifted nowhere and nowhen, marvelling in being a complete person again.
OOC: Don't worry, she'll lose most of these memories again when she returns to her body.
