[Steve purses his lips, thinking.]

Since we don't know yet how long it's going to take me to get up in that neighborhood, a comfortable house near the school might be a good place for you to wait. Houses 52 and 53 are good ones for you to know, they look pretty destroyed from the outside, but 52 has a big bed with a comforter and a functional bathroom, the shower's even got about ten minutes worth of hot water every day. Don't ask me how that works, we're just grateful it does. That house has become kind of a clinic, Dr. Clayton Epps has been stashing toiletries and medical supplies there, and there should be some generally useful supplies stashed next door as well.

Private

[Steve is not surprised at all that Peggy is able to figure out the private setting without any further help from him. She's too smart by half.]

I'd be happy to, anytime you like. When we meet up again, or tonight, even. [He ducks his head laughing a little, then glances back up at her with a shit-eating grin.] I dunno Peg, my rates for tech support are pretty steep. Might be able to give you a good deal, though.

[Steve sighs a little.] I'm sure there's nothing to worry about, really, he's hardly warm and fuzzy at the best of times but generally he's civil. Just don't threaten Angel or Rhys and you'll be fine, I expect. I just—I don't know what to think about him anymore, what happened with him and House and Quark the other day is upsetting and unexpected, don't know if I should expect more of that from him or what I should do about it. One more thing to worry about—

[His eyes widen suddenly.]

...Sonofabitch, Jack! [Steve puts a hand to his head, dismayed.] You say this happened to everyone? If that's true then Jack's loose. Goddammit. [He thinks rapidly.] I'll have to touch bases with Steph and Shiro and the others, see what they want to do. [He frowns, thinking some more.] ...Dammit. I'm starting to wish this whole conversation was private. [He rubs at his face.] Peggy, this is going to sound really paranoid, but Jack strongly dislikes me in particular, which is fine, I put a target on my own back on purpose, but now that means you could be a target too. Keep an eye out and be careful, OK? ...I mean, if Steph can take him you certainly can, but he could always get the drop on you. Just... watch your six. Please. ...Do you know what he looks like?
