Well. You know now.

Alpine? Not a bad name.

Guess you're gonna have to tell Val that you were wrong about turning this into a zoo.

Thanks. She picked it out.

Kidding.

I asked Val to begin with before this all started.

Cute.

You don't need to ask Val. It's your choice.

Now I gotta name the new cat.

It's her building.

Why don't you ask it its name?

That she's lucky we're residing in.

Great idea, I'll do just that.

More like I'm lucky I'm not in my dingy apartment anymore.

You're a lost cause, man.

Valentina doesn't own us, and we don't owe her a damn thing. Don't you forget that.

Thanks, I know.
juniorvarsitycap: (pic#17832644)

[personal profile] juniorvarsitycap 2025-05-24 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
I actually owe her a lot.

So lost.
endof_theline: (17836104)

[personal profile] endof_theline 2025-05-24 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
She tried to have you killed. Tried to have all of you killed.

Sounds like you're the one who's lost.
juniorvarsitycap: (pic#17832647)

[personal profile] juniorvarsitycap 2025-05-24 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know. I still owe her.

Maybe I am. A bit. At least I'm not asking a cat what their name is.

[personal profile] endof_theline 2025-05-24 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
For what?

That was a joke, you know that right? You owing Val anything sounds like a joke too though.

I lost everything when they took the shield from me. She gave it back. Gave me purpose again.

Yeah, Bucky, I know. It's called playing along.
endof_theline: (17838308)

[personal profile] endof_theline 2025-05-24 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? Is that what you call purpose? Look at where it got you. She did it to use you.

Okay, sure. I guess insulting me was part of it.

[personal profile] juniorvarsitycap 2025-05-24 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I felt needed again, okay? I was giving my family a chance to survive.

It always is.

[personal profile] endof_theline 2025-05-24 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
And you paid your debt to her since then. Get it out of your head that you owe her anything, John. You're better than that.

Fine, whatever.
juniorvarsitycap: (pic#17832644)

[personal profile] juniorvarsitycap 2025-05-24 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Look, I know you don't trust her. Neither do I. But a lot of what she's done has worked out.

You know I don't really mean it. Right?
endof_theline: (17838292)

[personal profile] endof_theline 2025-05-24 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
No it really hasn't. It hasn't worked at all. She was about to be impeached, she fucked up with OXE Corp, failed as a mad scientist. What happened here with us, it wasn't because of her. It fell into her lap and she grabbed at it blindly. If she didn't have Mel she'd probably be in jail right now.

I know John, it's fine.

Yeah, Mel's a pretty important piece there.
endof_theline: (17844440)

[personal profile] endof_theline 2025-05-24 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. So you know- just be careful.

Think about this. Really think about it.
