Heads up.
This one's just for you.

[ not daisy, not peggy, not anyone else. the more people he tells, the more likely he compromises that he shared it at all. ]

Strange can read minds.

[ so watch your thoughts, agent. ]

[covertness]

[ that's an interesting start to a conversation and bobbi's eyebrows are already up by the time he writes that, so they have no higher to climb. ]

you're sure

[ not really a question, but. that's a lot. better confirm. ]

are there limits?

[retravel]

Yes.
If anything, he'd underplay his hand.
I assume it's like our own abilities, localised. If he can see you, you're potentially within range.
I'm looking into it.

this whole thing is 10000% private right

[covertness]

good to know
i'll come up with something that'll reasonably preoccupy katelin's mind

yes!!! trust no b

[retravel]

And I'll hope he gets lost in mine.

[ tbf it's a fucking disaster in there, so seems unlikely anyone else will be able to parse it. ]

[covertness]

maybe he will
how is your relationship with him these days?

[ for some reason, she never connected with strange. she should try again —but it seems more difficult an endeavour now. ]

[retravel]

We're working through our trust issues.

[ "loki accidentally parent-trapped us" ]

[covertness]

how?

[retravel]

We're swapping stories.

[ intel. ]

He's taking point on the new safehouse alongside Markus, if you haven't noticed that already.

[ in the hot mess post. ]

[covertness]

i saw markus take lead on it
got distracted before stephen joined in, it seems

[ by arguing about murder... on her own post ]

[retravel]

[ yeaaaah, he clocked gio. seems like connor sorted him out with #logic: do murder and you get caught. ]

They're a wise pairing for it. Both command a measure of respect from most of the displaced, and they've our best interests as a group in mind.

[covertness]

[ katelin, too. and now hafid is telling him murdering is great sometimes. ]

you know i agree

[retravel]

[ hafid cannot be stopped... only paused and slightly lessened... ]

So we wait and see.
You have any thoughts you want me to funnel over to Strange first?
This is what I sent him.

[ he pastes his response to strange re: the new safehouse but here's a link bc lazy ]

[covertness]

[ the worst bit is that she agrees with him more than she can let on, given her cover. not entirely, not even close, but. more than she lets on.

it's giving her a headache. ]

that's good thinking
i think the idea of some combat training for new ones is a good one as well, and will give us an idea of their level of skill at the same time. hafid's suggestion. but that's for later

[retravel]

[ why can't they assees threats and assassinate people like professional adults, bobbi!! none of these sloppy back-alley murders. ]

Thank you.

[ he appreciates the approval more than he can say. ]

Combat's definitely for later, but I agree.
I spoke with Hafid. He's been set off by personal troubles. There'll be no wrangling him until he sorts himself out.

[ as an aside. ]

[covertness]

[ why is she still pretending to be a civilian instead of the spy she really is? oh, right, because of how much of a spy she really is

sloppy back-alley murders should definitely be avoided though ]

personal troubles i should be aware of?

[ feel free to tell her no ]

him and kat seem to have sorted it out for now

[retravel]

No, but you’ll be updated in the event that changes.
Just expect higher amounts of sparks than usual from that side of the multiverse in the coming days and weeks.

[ it’s sunny skies in new amsterdam today with a 100% chance of bat family drama. ]

Well done on Kat’s part.

[covertness]

so noted

[ she trusts his assessment. even with the conversation they've recently had, she trusts his assessment. ]

i'm worried about our group after these latest developments

[retravel]

The displaced as a whole?
I should think discord is expected. This is the first hurdle we’ve faced in the grey.

[ the moral grey, where there are risks at every turn. prior problems have been of the big damn hero variety. fight the monster, save the civilians, and protect each other. not so, with this.]

[covertness]

discord is one thing
discord and possible exposure another

[ she's not too worried. worried, but within limits. still, it bears mentioning ]

[retravel]

Do you think they could expose us all?

[ the captives and the vocal individuals. ]

[covertness]

not immediately, no
they don't know enough
but they can make people in a position to find out ask questions

[retravel]

Agreed.
But what do we do about it?

[ keep the lines of communication open, but tilted in their favour? wait it out? ]

[covertness]

that's the million dollar question, isn't it?
i'm inclined to let morningstar take the lead on this
and to take precautions
we need more intel

[retravel]

They’re working on it, apparently.

[ even though gaby suggested neutrality in public. ]

So we wait and see.
