[juniorvarsitycap]

When are you turning on us?

[ciadirector]

10 months from now.

[juniorvarsitycap]

Well, at least we've got some time.

[ciadirector]

That's when my term ends. If I don't get another one, then I don't work for the President anyone more so...legally I can't stay with you.

[juniorvarsitycap]

Do you think you'll get another term?

[ciadirector]

No. One full term would already make me the longest serving CIA Director.

I can try for the DNI.

[juniorvarsitycap]

Do you want it?

[ciadirector]

Of course I do, but it's another nomination position. I'll have to get cozy with the next President.

[justavoid]

Do you actually care about any of us or are we just a means to an end?

[He's pretty sure he knows the answer, but... if she really can't lie right now? He may as well get the answer while he can, whole and unbidden.]

[ciadirector]

[ She sighs, putting a stack of papers down to look up at him from her desk. Her brain is screaming: lie, lie, lie. They were always meant to be tools to discard, nothing else.

But...she can't cover up the other part overridding it. They're just people who were fucked up like her. People who, like it or not, she's been getting to know beyond manufactured assignments. ]

I'm starting to care about all of you, but don't let that get to your head.

i'm laughing lmfao you're welcome 😂

[justavoid]

Don't worry, I wasn't planning on it.

[That didn't entirely sound like Bob, did it? There was something a little more there, for the briefest of seconds... gone just as quickly as it had arrived.

He's staring at his hands clasped in front of him as he mumbles a soft apology. Always doing that, isn't he? Apologizing for what? Existing?

It does occasionally seem like someone made a mistake in the paperwork somewhere. Oops, All Anxiety and Dissociation For Dummies probably aren't really the best foundations to build a person around, but it's apparently all they had left when he was created.

Good luck! You'll be fine.]

Did you mean anything you told me when you tried to put that leash on me? [Metaphorical leash...

Why did he say it like that???
Fuck.]

edna mode voice: no leashes

[ciadirector]

I figured.

[ She can hear and feel the shift. It doesn't scare her any more than the first time, which exactly matched the point she imagined he was making here.

He could have killed her in an instant for trying to kill him. Survival of the fittest. She had no chance, but he'd hesitated. Why? ]

A leash, what? That's just a high collar.

[ A flaky gesture towards the split second flash of his suit. ]

I meant what I said about your past, even when Mel begged me to reconsider it. I don't care about it. I just care who you are now.

[ That's the main thing, isn't it? ]

And I meant it when I said that the darkness doesn't scare me.

[ That's more like it. ]

i love this thread so much omg wtf jfjdkls

[justavoid]

Tomato, potato, you know? [He lifts one hand and tilts it, like he's trying to shake something off of it.

He shrugs a little, unsure how specific he has to get for the full truth, here... so he just keeps poking the stick into the trap.] Even if I never touch any of my powers again? That still true? Or only because you know you're not actually in control, and you think you can wear me down into it anyway?

same sdkfhfk

[ciadirector]

They're two different foods. [ The Italian came out with that one. ]

[ She can guess where this is going, but she'll do her best to avoid it even with the truth serum. ]

It's complicated. If your powers are needed in a world death type of situation, I can't promise I won't provoke you. Any other time, I don't care.

[justavoid]

Whatever. [So not the point right now, Val!

He nods a little. It... tracks, more or less, for the experience he's had with her so far, honestly. He'd be more wary of believing the last part, but... the whole truth serum thing makes it harder to doubt.]

That's really fucked up, you know that, right? [He huffs a soft, mirthless sound at that last comment of hers.] Yeah, I'm used to that.

[strash]

Did you like limo ride with Red Guardian Limo Service?

[ciadirector]

Oh yeah, you're a great driver. Except for the time you ratted me out.

[strash]

I could not let Yelena burn alive!

[ciadirector]

I'd already pressed the button by the time I got in your limo.

[strash]

That is why I had to warn Yelena! I'm her Dad! Look at it from different angle — we would not be your Avengers.

[ciadirector]

You've got me there.

The limo playlist is good, and the vodka.

[strash]

The vodka is the good stuff. I buy only high quality.

[nardil]

What sort of childhood trauma did you go through to make you this way?

It won't make anything you did to Bob okay, but maybe I'll actually understand you.

[ciadirector]

First of all, what do you know about Bob? Second, why are you in my penthouse? And third, watch your questions, vampire boy.

[ Honestly she's had weirder things happen, but she's going to try to delay answering this as long as physically possible...which only ends up being about a minute until it's bursting out of her, through clenched teeth. ]

...raised by the guy who shot my dad.
