Can we all take a moment to admire the fact that 2801 technology still supports emoji functionality? 🤩 👍 🕷 💁 🩰 💫 🍆 🧊 💅 👁‍🗨 🎯 🤡 🔋 🐈 💲 🧙‍♀️ 🐦💋 🐜 👽 🕶 ⚡ 🕵🏻‍♀️ 💦 💦 💦

It seems like they're pretty set on calling us 'Hatchlings', so... hello, fellow Hatchlings, I'd like to play a game.

Two truths and a lie. I'll start.

  ① Starbucks makes the best lattes.
  ② I've never watched All Dogs Go To Heaven all the way through.
  ③ My birthdate is May 21st. What year? Every year. 😉😉😉 But my party in 2018 was 🔥🔥🔥.

what do you mean 'that's how that's going'?

[dissemblance]

You're making friends.

It's cute.

[unclesam]

it's practically a hallmark movie.
but in all seriousness, I don't know if I'd call it making friends now - we already did, but he hasn't lived that yet. he's from earlier than I am.

I'd say that counts. You're still doing the work. You just have the cheat code. It'd be like Barton meeting me at eighteen.

[ He tries to imagine her that young. Tries to reconcile the things that have been dragged out into the public eye with the woman he knows. Feels the ache in his chest - Natasha is still a wound layered over the scar Riley left behind. ]

showing up for people or walking away from them is the only choice we get to make sometimes.

For what it's worth, I'm glad you're showing up for him. He's been through a lot. I know that's, you know, redundant talking about any of us, but I guess I've got a soft spot for brainwashed assassins.

Touches a nerve.

you know you're not exempt right? You're family too. 6 months don't erase that.

[dissemblance]

Sam, I'm pretty sure there isn't a force on Earth that could stop you caring about the people you've brought into your family.

I know I'm not exempt.

stubborn enough to be both the unstoppable force *and* the immovable object. I'm the whole package.
