[Ward's throat still feels like shit and a half, but he's managed to process the following. He's no longer in jail (that's a plus), he's got super powers (he's unsure if that's a plus or minus) but he arrived and avoided the network for a few days out of fear of breaking the damn thing. He's decided long since then that he can't let Skye intimidate him.

She's here. And she's been here for awhile. She has home team advantage.

The only problem is they have a record of him. This whole registering thing was crap - what was the point of being given a second chance if he really couldn't leave Grant Ward behind? For the first time he wants to.

So time to test the waters. He's been to the ceremony, he's been sworn in, he's had a dramatic reunion with the woman he'd thought he cared about.]

New arrival here. Roomba salesman and repairman. Anybody else get a completely shit job? I know nothing about Roomba's.

Assuming Roombas here are the vaccuum robots. Y/N?

Also feel like shooting myself in the foot here, but is there some kind of a "so now you have super abilities" support group? Any help or advice appreciated.

[Reading over it two or three times he nods, satisfied that it's not incriminating, that it's blaise enough that even if people decide to ask him questions he can think up enough to talk about without screwing up.

He'd been in worse situations.

His roommates might have noticed that his doorknob on the outside was significantly bent and someone has been closing doors in their apartment very, very quietly.]

guess that also depends on what his superpower is and whether he can defend himself against other people's

[hackitude]

go on

take one guess as to what it is

i dare you

[shittybirthday]

judging by that response, some kinda super strength is the first thing that comes to mind

[hackitude]

ding ding ding ding

[shittybirthday]

well shit

[hackitude]

Right? It's just like... *why*??

[shittybirthday]

he can be shot tho right?

[hackitude]

Honestly? Who knows.

[shittybirthday]

well theres only one way to find out

[hackitude]

I'm not going to shoot him, Joel.

... Not unless it's in self defense, anyway.

[shittybirthday]

wasnt necessarily talking about you

[ Joel has no qualms shooting him if he has to. ]

[hackitude]

Don't you shoot him either.

Unless it's in self defense.

The last thing I need right now is having friends thrown in jail because of this guy.

[shittybirthday]

[ ...Did Skye just refer to him as a friend? ]

uh
we're friends now?

[hackitude]

Well, you're Ellie's dad, and Ellie's my friend, so. Close enough, right?

[shittybirthday]

[ He raises his brows at her response. He begins typing back that he's not actually Ellie's dad, but... He stops and deletes what he's written. ]

i suppose

[hackitude]

I rest my case!
