[She nods because living with this sucks, but he's not wrong. Though that brings up another thing.]

The person that told me it was something we did? Wasn't Astoria.

[And she'll pull up the message to play the mystery voice for him.]

[billionaires]

Okay, well. That's good and spooky.

[ thanks he hates it. it's starting to sprinkle now - or at least until he glares up at the sky and it moves back into its ineffectual thunder rumbling. ]

Even the disembodied voice said we didn't have enough info though. [ he scratches his nose and sighs. ] If no one's gonna help us out, how are we supposed to help them, you know? I'm not saying we should stop trying, just... maybe hold back a little, on the next turn. See if we can gather real intelligence before - acting.

[ this from a guy who once said his attack plan was "attack." what is character development? ]

[hackedhistory]

[He's grown up so much. ;;

Zari nods in agreement, running a hand through her hair.]

Hathaway was way better at this. We had dossiers, we had information. We knew which buttons not to push and what the end goal was going in. Why does she keep doing this?

[billionaires]

Why are you asking me? [ it comes out more hostile than he intended, or maybe that's the snap of the clouds behind him. will u guys shut up?? he's having a ~moment here. ] I would say ask her, but look where that got you.

[ he gestures to her device and shakes his head. ]

From now on, this is our op. Screw her.

[hackedhistory]

[She nods. Screw her indeed. Which reminds her, they have a project that they need to be working on.]

I'm going to reach out to the people I looped in on our little project to see if we can meet before we get shipped off to the next place again. Hopefully we can at least get the groundwork laid before we have bigger problems to deal with.

[billionaires]

[ of course, if it is their op that means... it will be their fault the next time they screw up. but that's a future tony problem for sure. ]

You know I'm in. Who else did you call?

[hackedhistory]

Keith had a friend named Pidge who he said was tech savvy so I reached out to her. And I have a friend named Billy who knows more of the magic end, that way we're covering all our bases.

[A beat.]

I'm gonna loop in Sara and probably Constantine too. If you want to fill in Steve, you should.

[Especially given that Sara has "find a way home" on her priority list, and Steve might be able to help with that angle too.]

[billionaires]

That's one of those magical teens, right?

[ there were a lot of those, but he'd met billy briefly before they'd been whisked off to akvos. he forgot to check and see if he was still here, god. ]

If I know something, Steve knows something. That's how it's gonna be from now on. [ which is to say: ] Yeah, I'll brief him. Well, as brief as I'm capable of anyway.

[hackedhistory]

[She smirks at that.]

You know how to be succinct when it counts.

[Usually when it involves telling someone to go away.]

[billionaires]

Just... doublechecking, but this is one of those times?

[ just tell him what to do he's so tired ]

[hackedhistory]

[She nods.]

I'm gonna go find Sara. You go find Steve. We'll probably be smarter if we sleep on it.

[billionaires]

Okey, smokey. Can do.

[ the 'sleep on it' gets a wisp of a smile, the sky finally clearing up in anticipation of them parting ways. ]

Hey... [ he's going for it - tony drags her into a gentle half-hug, one arm snaking around hers to pat her back and rest his head against her hair. ] You're not alone, okay? Remember that.

[hackedhistory]

[She gives him a small smile in return and nods.]

You too.

[And with that, off she'll go to find Sara. /scene]
