Maybe… (part 3)

The institute looked the same, the hallways were familiar and she knew where Jonathan’s lab was, at least in her world. Should would just ask someone.
People glanced at her as she walked along the corridor, like they knew she wasn’t supposed to be here, not just because she was from an alternate reality but also because she walked into a research facility just like that without permission.
