[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.

[ She's freaking out. Straight up hyperventilating, chain-smoking, bedroom-pacing, a frantic, manic sort of freak out that has been building over the past few days and will continue to play out for who knows how long.

Alan is gone. She could feel it, though she can't explain it - intrinsically linked. Like the absence of white noise, the odd silence of a power-out, the stillness of a refrigerator that stops humming. Alan is gone and although she barely knows him, she doesn't know what to do now that he's not here. What does this mean? For her- for him? Is he back home, on a roof? Did they fail..?

Of course, she says nothing of this. She does take to the network with a simple request. ]

I can't be the only one here who needs to get fucked up. I'm talking cockroach killing levels of numb here - who's with me?

[ And then she adds, like an afterthought. ]

Alan, you absolute piece of shit, if you're avoiding me I will fucking kill you.
