[GP] Food for the soul

Carlos hated being back at the hotel. He had begun by trying to access the Nevernever but that had totally failed, then caught up with Buffy to go and visit both London and Edinburgh, for varying reasons, and the rest of the time he had headed to Spain - he may have been well travelled, but rarely got time to be a tourist - but his time relaxing and finding out about Spain had been unceremoniously cut short when he woke up and found himself back at the hotel. For a few moments he lay there, utterly fed up, and just feeling incredibly homesick.

That only lasted a few minutes; after that he was a man on a mission.

He hunted out Caroline, and had a long chat with her. Plans were set. Time to cook up a storm. They'd missed 4th July, this could serve as a belated celebration, as well as a 'things ain't all bad here' event. Posters went up throughout the hotel, giving notice of a cook out. Everyone was encouraged to attend. What could be bad about this?

Grills were set up outside to cook up as much meat as they could hold; non-meat options were there as well for variety; salads prepared... a vast array of food to try and cheer up anyone who needed it. Carlos took his place at the grills, brandishing tools, turning the meat over just at the right point.

All that was needed now was people to attend.

"I don't think it was the feelings that brought it up but the physical action. I think since pulling on your memories, me and your laptop files, more and more will break through." At least that was Molly's theory anyway.

Jane set her bocce ball down, the game forgotten. "You're probably right. I met someone that thought he knew me. I know it can be mistaken identity like Dean and Alec." Though Dean had a good decade and a half on Alec.

"But it got me thinking. What if my memories are false? That not only did someone make my memories go away but the ones that are coming to the surface are planted ones." She looked at Molly, "can you tell if the memories are real or fake when you're in my mind?"

That was a very interesting question and Molly gave it good consideration. "I'm not sure, to be honest. I've never thought about it if planted memories would look different to me than real ones. It might be if you believe them to be real, they'll appear real to me."

Jane took that in and nodded. "If I had implanted memories, I would think they were real because I don't know they're not. Well that sucks. I guess I'm going to have to go with my gut instinct. I know that I was a soldier, that's too ingrained to be a fake memory." She paused, "but I'm not sure which soldier I am. Am I Asgardian, the woman Thor knows or am I Alice Kreuger from South Africa trained to be a soldier from a child?"

"I'd say have someone do a DNA test, but that won't help. You said in your files that it had Taylor Shaw's DNA and South African genetic traits. If they could manufacture Taylor's into your tests, they could probably do the same with Asgardian." Molly thought so anyway. "You might never know, but go with your gut instinct when you learn more from Thor."

Jane nodded, "it sometimes feels like all I have is my gut instinct but it hasn't been wrong yet. Thanks, Molly. Maybe it doesn't matter who I was but only who I am now.""

"And who you are now, is pretty damn amazing." Molly gave her friend a quick hug. "Don't worry too much on who you might have been. I have a feeling you'll get it figured out eventually. Your memories will work their way through."
