It has only been a few hours since they left Daniel fighting back Adria with his newfound powers, but it feels like much longer. Every passing moment seems to expand and last a much larger amount of time than it really is.
The fear in the pit of her stomach has only tightened the longer she's been apart from him. She swallows hard - it does not alleviate the heavy feeling in her throat - and she cracks her knuckles. Sucking her bottom lip up into her mouth, she bites down on it. Any harder and it will draw blood.
She looks from each of her teammates faces and tries not to sob out loud when Daniel's face is not among them.
"We're doing everything we can, Vala," Sam says quietly.
She nods, unable to speak. Her earlier outburst had done nothing but invoke more panic inside of her; to keep silent now can only benefit her. Silence limits the chance of another breakdown caused by her concern for Daniel, and therefore results in less strain on her emotions.
Cam pats her on the shoulder. "She's right, you know. Before you know it, Sam'll have something worked out and we can go and get our boy back."
Another moment fades away and then another, each moment filled with their determination to get back Daniel.
For her, the time passes by far too slowly.
