It's a little less climactic than he'd imagined, but at the voice he swats a bit to the side of his head as if there might actually be something or someone there.
You've given me all the information that I need and death means nothing here. It's not as if I can open portals by snapping your bones and taking your eyes.

Date: 2022-10-27 11:24 pm (UTC)Okay. I'm out in the hall.
no subject
Date: 2022-10-27 11:29 pm (UTC)And then his voice is in Steve's head, like he's speaking in his ear.
You really are lost without Nancy, aren't you?
no subject
Date: 2022-10-27 11:34 pm (UTC)"I'm fine without Nancy."

Date: 2022-10-27 11:43 pm (UTC)The Admiral said my name two months in a row during pairings and you didn't notice.
You could have stopped this months ago.
no subject
Date: 2022-10-27 11:58 pm (UTC)“Well, I’m stopping it now.”
no subject
Date: 2022-10-28 12:05 am (UTC)Tempting as it is.
Even in his head, he sounds a bit smug about it.

Date: 2022-10-28 12:51 am (UTC)He doesn't understand it, but that doesn't mean he discounts it as unimportant.
no subject
Date: 2022-10-28 02:22 am (UTC)Or whatever. Sure, Steve hit him with a car, but it was to try and help everyone else.
no subject
Date: 2022-10-28 11:28 am (UTC)Henry's quiet for a while. Clever trick with the music. For what it's worth, I don't know what happened to Max.
no subject
Date: 2022-10-28 12:42 pm (UTC)Because it doesn’t, and Steve shifts his weight uncomfortably at the mention of her.
no subject
Date: 2022-10-28 02:21 pm (UTC)There's no sign of the last encounter they had, no bruising and no blood. However, he stays out of arm's reach.
"I don't care if you feel better. But blaming me for it doesn't help matters."
no subject
Date: 2022-10-28 02:36 pm (UTC)Or at least Henry’s the one that hurt her, because Steve blames himself a lot more than he probably should.

Date: 2022-10-28 10:40 pm (UTC)Steve does not return the smile. Instead, he crosses his arms and raises his eyebrows.
no subject
Date: 2022-10-28 11:19 pm (UTC)He turns his back on him.
"Thank you for the information, Steve."
no subject
Date: 2022-10-30 05:29 pm (UTC)Steve's not about to let Henry just walk away that easily.
"You're done with Billy now. That was the deal."
no subject
Date: 2022-10-30 05:31 pm (UTC)You tricked me Henry hears in his mind.
He already knows the answer to that. He's going to save them. Save Billy again, if he needs to.
no subject
Date: 2022-10-30 05:34 pm (UTC)Here being Steve's mind. That's what Trixie had said, right? If he revokes consent then Henry's back to being shut out.
no subject
Date: 2022-10-30 05:36 pm (UTC)And, as far as he's concerned, that voids the deal that they made anyway. The very vague deal he had no intention of following.
"Have a good day, Steve."
no subject
Date: 2022-10-30 05:37 pm (UTC)It's petty, but Steve means it. He knows that it doesn't mean they're rid of Henry forever maybe, but it would be so satisfying.
