[PEGGY, YOUR INNUENDOES WILL ALWAYS WORK ON STEVE.]

Steve rubs at his face, trying to get his brain in order. He's so Goddamn tired.]


I'm sorry, I'm doing this completely backwards aren't I? I meant to tell you all of this... I dunno, two days ago, probably. ...Jack's our resident murderer and kidnapper. He strangled a kid to death, 'bout a week and a half ago. ...She's been revived. And. Seems to think it's all great fun and Jack is the best ever—anyway, he was threatening to kill more people, I got a posse together and we tracked him down. That's where I was when you arrived, a bunch of us were trying to figure out what to do with him. I left him in Steph and Shiro's custody—you met Shiro, I think, he stole my tablet, briefly?

[Steve frowns, thinking.]

...I gotta warn people he's loose. And—all the other new people, they probably don't know what he looks like either, or anything about him. [He tries to think if Jack's shown his face on the network, recently, then shakes his head, sitting and digging through his packs for his sketchbook and pencil. He props up his tablet so he can keep talking to Peggy, and starts drawing swiftly. He'll have to get moving in a bit, soon as it's light enough in the tunnels to see where the hell he's going, but he can spend a few minutes on this. He has to. It's kinda important.]

Honestly, Peg, if by some incredibly slim chance you do happen to run into him, it would be really great if you could take him in. It's not good he's loose, and everyone's so scattered— [Who even knows where Quark is, and he's alone, probably—and Frisk—shit. Steve's lips press together, and he has to take a momentary pause from drawing so he doesn't break the pencil tip.

Steve's pretty distracted worrying about Jack, but he still smiles a little and glances up at Peggy at the mention of showering together.]


Gotta be honest, that sounds... real nice, Peg. ...I'll hurry. Fast as I can, promise. Wings on my feet.
