Honestly, after Juniper the other day, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before they all found out about Maxwell and Josephine. Then again, considering the paperwork he put in, it really wouldn't be long. Despite his cynicism, people weren't as stupid as he wanted to believe. They'd figure it out.
"Neither was my brother." He said matter of factly though his face softened. "Or my father or sister. They're all agents. Just to keep them out of jail..." He shook his head with a sigh. "I'm hoping they're able to keep their head down and continue so that, like you, they can get out once SEA passes."
He rubbed his face. "What's wrong with me? I want what you want. I want you to get your freedom once SEA passes. I want them to look at your file and see nothing that sticks out so that you're able to go back to a normal life like you and every other agent that's taken in like that deserves."
Because some of them deserved to be taken in. Some of them were dangerous people who used their powers for themselves. Others well, they just had the misfortune of being born different. Something that Marshall loathed above all else...
"I can't say you're doing anything if you're not doing anything. I won't put others at risk. You need to show effort. Improvement. How can that happen if you're not doing something? Add in the fact that you could get yourself killed out there..." At that Marshall looked genuinely angry. That JP was risking his life with his laziness. "And others. I willingly signed up for this... but think about the others like you. The ones that didn't sign up for this. The ones that want a normal life just like you. To get the fuck outta this place. They're counting on you having their backs out there." He snorted at that and shook his head.
"I'm going to turn off the water. Get dressed. I'll have the mess cleaned and things replaced." It was Marshall's fault, after all.
And just as he said that, the hose broke where JP had created the damn, spraying Marshall all over as well. He sighed heavily as he left the room.
