Well, we need to move forward. Together. And she finally agreed to being on the team.

[Of course, Kate doesn't know Skye goes off and points a gun in Jesse's face, but hey.]

+1 Skye

I assume "move forward" means "Jesse".

[selfequipped]

They're broken up. Have been, apparently.

But he's definitely related to the "how do we deal with what he's involved in."

[selfimage]

I take it we're still clueless on the distributor. That doesn't mean that we can't be a bit more aggressive.

You know.

TRACKERS.......

[selfequipped]

Trackers!

Since your name is the one that got involved, I could probably hand off a tracker undetected, too. Maybe! Hopefully.

As long as Emma Frost isn't anywhere near by. We forgot to consider her as a factor, but apparently she is one.

[selfimage]

What kind of tracker are we talking? I could make this an UNtrackable tracker if we're talking Emma Frost.

[selfequipped]

Can Emma Frost read the minds of machines? I like my trackers just fine. In this case, my trackers are invisible because the owner of them didn't recklessly and stupidly throw himself under the bus.

[selfimage]

No, but Emma Frost is really good at reading your mind. She likes to poke and prod, and somehow I can't imagine that you've put psychic blocks up to combat her curious nature.

[selfequipped]

Why would she be interested in me?

[selfimage]

Now that depends on the flow of events that are out of our control. The most obvious would be your connection to me. With my psychic blocks, she could decide to look other, more convenient places. She's already told me how irritating they are. Of course, my view of Emma is generally from a different time. I don't think she remembers me quite the way I remember her.

[selfimage]

Context: She tried to peek at my ideas for Chap 6 of my fanfic.

[selfequipped]

Can you give ME psychic blocks? Because if she's "curious," it might be too late, and there's a whole lot of time biding.

[selfimage]

Since we still have time, I'm going to make the assumption that she hasn't.

I can give you them temporarily. Long enough to deter her interest.

[selfequipped]

Or make her wonder why I have them, but the Verity thing might take care of that.

[selfimage]

Now you're using your noodle. She'll be none the wiser.

[selfequipped]

He says, as if I've never used my noodle before.

We'll go with that. And it might make me less neurotic about being in Verity's company.

[Loki knows that Kate has her own version of "leaving out the middle of the story," after all.]

[selfimage]

The whole telepathy thing can get a little unnerving.

[selfequipped]

I don't mind telling the truth.

[She does mind the truths connected to those thoughts. The extra pieces of information that Kate keeps bottled away.]

[selfimage]

With most things.

Everyone lies about some things they don't want anyone to know. If it's by omission or some other clever diversion tactic.

[selfequipped]

Or just who you are? We all hide things about ourselves every day. It's how you deal with that that matters.

[selfimage]

We also hide things from ourselves every day. There are lies that hold certain comforts.

Verity doesn't have that.

[selfequipped]

No.

It's why I'd like to help her as much as I can.
