[Diego is not a fan of... well, a lot of things, but in this particular case, this whole idea of being kidnapped to another universe or version of Earth or whatthefuckever this place even actually is, and demanded to hero at the world. Sure, it was familiar, and even a choice of a certain kind by the end--although he'd argue to the death that his vigilantism is entirely different than what his father set out for--but he was doing things in his own way back home, before the rest of...the Apocalypse situation exploded (literally).

Being shoved under someone's thumb, and told to toe their line was not sitting well with him, right out of the gate.

However, he can deal with red tape when he absolutely has to, and for now, he's pushing all of that aside in favor of something much more important:]

If you know someone else with the last name of Hargreeves, I'm gonna need you to tell me which one and where to find them.

[A beat passes.

He adds, with a sharp edge in his voice and harsh, narrowed glare into the camera to match his demand:] Now.

[ When Diego’s face suddenly pops up on the network, and his voice is there. A threat in the form of an order that really isn’t asking, and she knows intimately probably wouldn’t involve a thank you at the end for anyone who had seen it first. 

It’s, also, disjointing to suddenly see his face so soon again — and she needs to tell Luther — but she’s pulling up her phone and tapping a text even as she hits the video on. It pops up as typed words on the bottom of the video for him, combining the two mediums. ]

We’re all here.

[There's an instant swell of comfort at seeing one of, any of, his siblings' faces. He feels it rise up in and tighten his chest, ignores that he also feels it twist something small at the edges of his eyes just a little softer for it, too.] Allison... [Her name shouldn't be a sigh of relief, but...] Where are you?

Klaus, I assume?

What's the magic word?

[Guess who doesn't look even slightly intimidated it's Gabby she just looks amused.]

[deadlycurves]

Now was already the magic word, kid. I don't have time for games. [He doesn't look like he's been amused in his whole life. It's a lie, he has been, plenty of times, but right now is not one of them.]

Charming, as always.

[He's not surprised to see Diego- if the rest of them were here it was only a matter of time before he showed up.]

[deadlycurves]

Charming wasn't my intention.

Where are you?

[He may have gotten the city from Allison, but he doesn't care. Everyone's probably getting that thrown their way anyway.]

[choosetruth]

[Georgia gives him a flat stare through her sunglasses.]

Why? What do you want with them?

video

[deadlycurves]

[He's unphased, and only stares just as flatly back at her.]

They're my siblings and I want to know where they are.

[hellogoodhigh]

Jeez, tone it down will ya?

[ There’s a slight wave as he grins at the camera. ]

I don’t think any of us have quite enough money for bail just yet.

[ The smile softens and for a moment all the joking and flamboyance leaves his voice and his expression softens. ]

Missed you, bro.

video;

[deadlycurves]

Would you? [He pulls a face at his brother.]

How long have you been here, cause- uh- by my estimation and everything, there hasn't even been time to do any missing.

[the_horror]

"Now" seems so demanding. What do you expect people to say when you are unapologetically demanding? Try being polite.

text;

[deadlycurves]

[He finds absolutely no humor in this handle, but doesn't have any reason to think much else about it. Yet.] It was supposed to be demanding. It was a demand. I don't have time for niceties.

[iminthebook]

[ Have a grinning face, and one of welcome. ]

I have talked to a few of the Hargreeves, but I don't know where they live. I'm sure they will respond soon, if they can.

Are you one of that family?

[ A hand is raised. ]

So far, they've all seemed well, when I've seen them.

Video

[deadlycurves]

I don't imagine they've been the quietest about their sudden kidnapped existence in this place. We usually aren't-- [Beat.] Quiet. [A shrug.]

That's good to know, at least.

[forcelight]

That's one way to ask. [ like she really cares about the attitude all that much, she understands being desperate to know that people you care about are safe and together, now that she has Finn and Poe. ] One of them happens to be my roommate. Jeopardy number four.

[the_horror]

Rey, let me apologize for this knuckle head now. He has no grace when it comes to asking for things.

[deadlycurves]

Yup. [It's one-note and monotone, not even anything he feels requires more commentary. It takes the slightest moment to realize she means the house number and not Klaus. People probably aren't even aware of that number-name system their father had favored so much more than their actual names that Mom had given them.] Which one is your roommate?

Video

[hampire]

Shouldn't you be following that up with an 'or else'?

Video

[deadlycurves]

It was probably implied? [He spreads his hands in a shrug, which he somehow also manages to do with his face.]

video

[marineris]

Nope, I haven't. Is looking angry on the network while completely removed from the people you're talking to supposed to be threatening?

video

[deadlycurves]

Don't care if you find me threatening or not. I just want to find my people. [Because he knows that at least some of them are here.]

[whiteviolinist]

[ Vanya's one of the last to respond, which is business as usual, really. Despite the tension between them during their last few meetings, though, she's still glad to see Diego finally here. ]

Hi, Diego. We've been waiting for you to show up.

video;

[deadlycurves]

[The tension still exists, probably won't dissipate anything like immediately, no mater how much she missed him, or how glad he is to see any-and-all of his siblings on this stupid phone.

But.
He can put those things in a box to be closed up and set aside, dealt with later (or never-- whichever came first).]

Hey, V... Gang's all here, huh?

[desmodusdraculae]

[Kirk snorts at the threat.]

Well I was going to tell you about Ben, but I tend not to be too cooperative when people start demanding things from me.

video;

[deadlycurves]

[His jaw sets tight in a straight line. He really needs people to stop saying that name, like it's easy as breathing and doesn't gut him to hear it every time.]

Well, don't expect an apology. [He'd be waiting a really long time.] How do you know Ben?

[ Luther's late to the party — he was on a work shift when Allison's text came in, and hadn't been able to check his phone until he got out, at which point he rushes. He prefers audio, but for identity verification purposes, he knows how crucial a video can be. So he turns it on, knowing Allison's probably filled Diego in already. He nods his head at his brother; a curt acknowledgment that doesn't touch on what he's really feeling. The thank god. The finally. ]

About time, Number Two.

video

[deadlycurves]

Gotta save the best for last, right? [Said smooth and cocksure, like he didn't totally have a whole ass internal meltdown at Allison earlier about how he was last and what that meant.
