[ THe greatest problem for Nathan and Nate, in very different times, at very different ages, has always been control. She knows that one all too well, too. There is one whole world forever silenced by it. She also feels an endless, weighted responsibility for it. Because it all comes back to her in the end. No matter how you work time, space, and genetics. Another version of her. A clone of her. The powers her children carry because they are hers.
(And how much more does that carry now, knowing what all she is, and has always been?)
Speed is not one of the things she is denied here in Etraya, even if it isn't the same as being able to cross galaxies in heartbeats. It's still barely minutes, not even to five when she's dropping to the ground, fire melting off her skin, dispersing into the air without any hint of smoke or scent as it goes. Clothes entirely untouched.
She comes down on his side, gentle, slow. A hand reached out to curve his shoulder. Unable to not touch him at all. ]
