"Hey! You've reached Skye. Leave a message. I mean, if you want to. Or uh, don't. Whatever."

Comments

[hostage]

You don't have to stay locked up just keep Kara with you until we think of something permanent

[hackitude]

... Sure. Whatever. Fine.

[There's a short pause before the next text, while Skye debates whether to send it or not.]

I'm thinking of assembling a team here. I mean, I was thinking about it before Ward turned up. I talked to my boss about it. Tony. ... He thinks it's a good idea.

[hostage]

What kind of team?

[hackitude]

A team like the one I had back home. The police here... they aren't exactly well equipped to deal with imPort crimes. They're just normal humans. What're they gonna do against super powers? But if they had a dedicated imPort task force...

[hostage]

I think it's a good idea

[hackitude]

... Wait. ... You do?

[Skye thought for sure he would protest. Being on a team is slightly more dangerous than sitting behind a desk writing programs for Tony Stark.]

[hostage]

[Things aren't exactly not-dangerous as they currently are.]

We can't just let these crazies run around forever

[hackitude]

[Jesse can't see it, but Skye smiles on her end. Finally, something they can agree on.]

Yeah. ... I'm glad you agree.

[hostage]

Really shouldn't talk about this stuff over these things tho

[hackitude]

What, about starting an imPort task force? It's not illegal. The government would probably thank us. They want us to be heroes, right?

Anyway, I've got all my data set to erase itself immediately if anyone tries to hack into it.

[hostage]

I'm not talking about the govt or hacking

You can't tell who's actually typing this right now can you, you just know it's Jesse's device

[hackitude]

Um yeah, but I know it's you because I know you, dummy.

[hostage]

Like your stalker who's also a spy couldn't kill me, take my phone, and pretend to type like me to get info out of you

Like where you are and what you're up to and who you're with

[hackitude]

Okay. Geez. We can have a password. Or just... call each other instead of texting.

[hostage]

Or wait until we know it's safe before discussing secrets and big plans

[Because Skye is good, but it's a world full of supers. Someone might be better.]

[hackitude]

... Okay. Fine, done.

How do you know "when it's safe", though?

[hostage]

When we're in the same room

[hackitude]

Okay. No secrets or big plans over text.

Damn, now what am I going to text you about?

[hostage]

What are you wearing

[hackitude]

[Skye just laughs and facepalms in her hotel room. Seriously, Jesse?]

a chewbacca onesie

[She's not, but two can play at that game.]

[hostage]

[Ow. It hurts to laugh.]

Fuck that's hot

[hackitude]

Uh huh. You know it. You want a piece of this furry action, huh. For shame.

[hostage]

Gotta get my ass over there ASAP

[hackitude]

Better finish healing quick, then

Dammit now I actually want to rewatch Star Wars

[hostage]

Me too

Movie night OK?
