easy peasy

That's good. Small teams is better, provided we can maintain a flow of information.

[ through the secure server. smaller groups appeal to him for the same reasons that bobbi thinks. that's the compromise: strength in numbers, just not too big a number. ]

Doubt anyone could wrangle the lot of us, anyway.

[ bless gaby for even bothering with them... ]

Mm.

[ a generous helping of his food pauses further inquiries. ]

You think people aren't feeding back?

[ an casual question, despite the loaded implcations. ]

[ they keep weaving through the food market, never stopping long enough for someone to catch more than a snippet. ]

I'd agree on that front.

[ he has some suspicions, naturally, but they're tabled for now. ]

On a similar note, I've been trying to encourage people to pair off and spread out.

[ Rey in Giles Bell, Noctis in the NAFD, Jason and Illya in the fighting gangs. Bobbi may have noticed his discussions with the first two on his network post. ]

We do. [ for so many reasons. he picks at his food. ] Dunno how you manage it, though.

[ as someone who has been more of the handled than a handler. ]

Yeah.

[ he has the same thought and yet, ]

I don't think I should be the first eyes on anything, [ or anyone. he looks down, beyond his unfinished food, at the even tread of his oxfords. ] no matter what. [ it surprises him that he admits it. and his voice drops, suddenly quiet. ] There's a lot of leftover β€” [ thoughts, impulses, actions. he gestures helplessly with his free hand, searching for the word. ] β€” muck. In here. [ a hesitant motion at his head. ] From what happened. Before.

[ before he got here: the framework. it's why he doesn't like ferrying the samples back and forth on his own, either. what if he sees something useful? there's a window of time where he could make a called based on that intel, all by his lonesome.]

[ he lets her. of course he does. there's no instinct to hide from her, not in this moment. (there have been times where he's yanked his hand away from others, knowing what might seep through their taction.)

the worry comes through first, a nervous skitter at the point of their connection, electric on the skin (enough to make one's hair stand on end); the heavy press of fear, too, barely contained by a shaky control.

a tiny shake of his head. that's the problem, isn't it? she trusts him too much. her and daisy both. everyone here. a spike of new emotion cuts through the rest, guilt. he already knows there are moments where he edged over the line (and a few where he lept, without repercussion). ]


Then trust what I'm saying now.

[ what bobbi offers nearly knocks him over, the warmth so at odds with the swirl of his own emotions, but she says i do and allows him to feel just enough of her resolve, balancing the rest. she loves him. bobbi has always loved the lot of them β€” but never at the expense of the job, of the world. maybe hunter doesn't understand that, but fitz grasps it quickly, with the aid of the bond. and he needs it, too. that's what shield would do.

fitz exhales, and a measure of relief comes through the bond. ]


Okay. [ a nod this time. he shifts his hand to hold hers in return. then, after a moment, he looks up. ] Then we're β€” okay.

[ for now. ]
