He's not sure how Molly gets the gun from Starbuck. He's seen Kara blow away dozens of toasters, pull off maneuvers in a Viper and walk away laughing. But watching her after the crack of the gunshot, after another version of himself fell to the ground, its brains splattered on the sidewalk, there's a long moment where she's not that steely-eyed viper jock.

He drops his guard for a moment too, seeing himself blown away on the asphalt, the back of his head open and bleeding, but he tries not to look, tries not to focus on it. He does that and there's a good chance they're all dead.

Lee wonders to himself if this is how it was after Cloud Nine, when Billy had died and he'd been shot. They hadn't really talked until a long time after that, after he was already on the mend and she'd been transferred to Pegasus, and by then he'd been too pissed off to really notice that the whole thing had messed her up almost as much as it had frakked with him.

He lowers his gun, slightly, before he turns to keep his eyes peeled for threats, for his own face to try and ambush them again. At least, until Molly speaks.

"Church?" Lee asks, confused, and oddly, he's reminded of back on Galactica. A tomb, a temple, a nebula. Now there's a church, and some kind of doubt about whether or not he'll be able to go inside of it. But Molly sounds like she knows a hell of a lot more about what's going on than he does, so he's not doubting her judgement. At least there, they'll be out of the open, which can only be a good thing.

"Okay, I guess we're going to the church."
