I don't know. Both? Does it count as "betraying his country" if he thought he was doing the right thing for his country? I don't even know anymore. HYDRA is crazy.

[immuno]

At the risk of sounding trite, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I'm not sure that excuses him.

It's just that actively trying to murder you is a little different from well-meaning and delusional.

[hackitude]

... I'm pretty sure he can't hurt me, at this point. I think his feelings get in the way, or something. I was being kept prisoner by HYDRA at one point and they needed to get information out of me, but... nobody was sent to torture me. And it's HYDRA, they're not exactly known for being weaksauce.

That said, his feelings for me didn't seem to extend to the rest of our team. So.

Yeah. It's all kinds of fucked up.

[immuno]

Well, if we're looking at it from a comparative perspective, I think I can revoke my disapproval of Jessie.

[hackitude]

Haha. Yeah. Jesse has his faults, but... he's not a neo-Nazi. Or spying on me for the enemy and lying about it for nearly a year. Or emotionally manipulating me.

[immuno]

or a total asshole. Who does Ward think he is?

[hackitude]

Who the hell even knows. He lied to us for so long, Lydia. I can't believe none of us saw it. I really... thought he was a good person.

[immuno]

I'm sorry. It must be terrible just knowing he's here.

We won't let him do anything.

[hackitude]

Whatever, I'm dealing. [Badly, but still.]

And... thanks, Lydia. I know.

[She doesn't exactly believe it-- Ward's a Navy Seal unit all on his own, and this place saw fit to grant him super strength. She's not even sure Captain America could take him down. But she appreciates the sentiment.]

I rented Pompeii.

I don't know how you feel about Kit Harrington's abs, or movie night at my place given who I live with, but the offer's open.

[hackitude]

omg i LOVE kit harrington's abs

let's do it.

[immuno]

Good. :) bring popcorn.

[hackitude]

I'm on it like white on rice.

[immuno]

Stiles is an idiot but I also live with him so he might come hang out while we watch if that's ok w/ you.

He's usually less of an idiot than it sounds like he was to you. I can't believe you guys didn't know each other already. I totally would have introduced you in a better way if I had realized.

[hackitude]

We've spoken like... once? Whatever, he's a teenage boy. He's like contractually obliged by his existence to be a dumbass.

[immuno]

You're not wrong.

So it's ok if he hangs out?

[hackitude]

[Skye shrugs before realising Lydia... can't see her...]

Yeah, it's cool. As long as he and Ward aren't suddenly like bffs or whatever. I'll deal.

[immuno]

I warned him about Ward it's ok.

[hackitude]

Thanks. You're a lifesaver. I mean, I've warned all my friends, but... I draw the line at warning away random people I don't even know. If they read that argument and they still want to be friends with him? That's their business.

[immuno]

Or, more accurately, it's none of their business.

[hackitude]

That, too.
