[She exhales, and nods. It's good to at least know they were starting on the same square.]

I suppose I don't need to overstate how committed I am to doing the same.

[Hey, they could each do worse than having the other on their team.]

[deaddrop]

That's half of why I'm here.

[Natasha hugs herself, shrugging.]

The other half being the fact you have all the information I seem to be missing.

[bravejemma]

Some of it, anyway.

["All" feels like a lot, but it is something she can offer that no one else can.]

[deaddrop]

Well. I'd like to think at this point I know a fair amount.

[But missing some key information.]

[bravejemma]

Honestly? Seems like you knew more than me -- of the two of us, you're the one who didn't get shoved into a stasis pod.

[Something, something objectivity compromised. She knows it. Fitz knows it. They all know it.]

[deaddrop]

Different pieces of the same picture. The question is how much of it we're still missing.

[bravejemma]

What else are you wondering about?

[deaddrop]

I wish I knew. Mostly I think... what comes next. Barbas isn't going to stay in that house forever. Not like this.

And Fitz is still a loose end.

[bravejemma]

[She grimaces, but Natasha's right: Barbas won't be kept forever, and when he's out, it's won't be pretty.]

I'm going to look into magical solutions -- at least see if there's something about the name taboo, and see who I can talk to. I'll let you know what I find out.

[deaddrop]

I appreciate it. If I find out anything else, I'll keep you in the loop too.

[bravejemma]

I appreciate it. [And she does.] If there's anything else you think I can clear up, just ask.

[deaddrop]

I will. And I'll keep you in the loop.
