I know a lot of people are still recovering from what happened to them, but we have a responsibility to help the ones who are still sick. The news reports say that they've been taken into medical care. I think we need to do what we can to help them. I'm not sure how.

If I was at home, one of my teammates would have an answer.

[Well, Pidge. Pidge would have an answer.]

She'd find a way to harness whatever this freaky blue stuff is inside of us so that we could help someone else. Make a vaccination. Something. Do you guys think we can pull that off? Or do you guys have any ideas for how we can help? We can work together and get those people cured. Some of you weren't yourself the last few days. I wasn't, either. Imagine being stuck that way.

There's one other thing.

A lot of people want to get home. A lot of us need to get home. We left something important behind. But if we're a part of what's happening here, there's a chance we'll be leaving this world in worse shape than we found it. We need to do what we can to help.

I guess I should also apologize. That wasn't me. But the people I talked to didn't know that. I'm sorry.

So. Let me know what you guys think. And how we can help.

Kara, who is this??

[crisised]

it's a long story, but the short of it is that hafid and "matches" are brothers. our families know each other and work in the same circles back home

[ and this makes it sound like they're from the same universe but WHATEVER it's easier than explaining the clusterfuck that is the dc cast right now ]

i can handle them. just ignore them

[secondnature]

Can you point out Matches to me?

[crisised]

that depends
are you going to be as much of an idiot as these two and pick a fight?

[secondnature]

He threatened to take out my eye! I think I should know who's going to try!

[crisised]

he won't. he's just being a douche

[secondnature]

Who is he?

private.

[crisised]

he's hafid's older brother. they're both trained combatants who have been fighting since they were teenagers, but they're good people deep down

deep, deep, deep down

i won't give away too many of their secrets, but you can trust they've got the greater good in mind even if their methods can be a little extreme and they're more than a little rough around the edges

i think it's cause their dad is so emotionally constipated

private.

[secondnature]

You didn't have to tell me all that. If you trust them, I figure it's for a reason.

[Maybe Keith shouldn't believe in Kara if she has their backs, but she is trying to defuse this situation, and Keith can see the value in that. Temper or not, he's not that much of a stubborn idiot.]

I just want to know what he looks like if he decides to make good on that threat. There are a lot of people here who look like Hafid.

private.

[crisised]

i mean
he's tall and muscley with dark hair and blue eyes
but i don't think that's going to help you much

private.

[secondnature]

No, but I think I have a feeling who he is.

private.

[crisised]

he's not the subtlest crayon in the box
hey, if he does something stupid, let me know? i've got your back if you need it

private.

[secondnature]

[First typed response: I can handle it myself.

Second one, after backspacing:]

I'll let you know.

[reneger]

1: shut up
2: don't put my name in quotation marks
3: shut the hell up
4: i don't know you
5: seriously fuck off
6: you only wish you could handle me

[secondnature]

Were we supposed to think "Matches" is a real name?

[reneger]

you don't know jack shit about me """"keith""""

[crisised]

it's a terrible alias you knew that when you chose it
don't be pissy because you know i'm right about all this being a giant mess

[reneger]

no, i'm tired of you being a fucking idiot
butting your head in where it doesn't belong
acting like you're part of shit when you're not

private.

[crisised]

i'm butting in where i don't belong?? i was de-escalating the situation when you came in and threatened to put someone's eye out WITH A SPOON

[ there's a pause and then she goes for the low blow-- ]

alfred would be ashamed of how you're acting right now

private.

[reneger]

oh thanks
don't worry about good old alfred
he's already plenty ashamed of me

i'm not with them anymore, any of them
never will be
so fuck off
let me deal with the one goddamn kid who isn't wondering whether or not me coming back out of the ground was a good thing or a fucking omen

private.

[crisised]

genuine question: what does hafid being unsure with you coming back have to do with this situation that did not involve you at all?
i'm legitimately curious

private.

[reneger]

you're misunderstanding
all i've got left is little d
if he's going to be a shitty little asshole
i'll just be the bigger one

private.

[crisised]

how on earth does that help?

private.

[reneger]

when you're targeting someone for being a dick
do you go for the littler dick
or the bigger dick?

private.

[crisised]

that
that is terrible logic
i don't even know where to start with that
