Guys, I just want to let you know you might be getting a call from a friend of mine. You know the guy that looks like Bucky? Well, he could use a little support around this place and I thought you'd be the perfect guys for the job.

Private to Enzo:

How you been, you big prat? Staying out of trouble and all that boring stuff? I miss you, and it hurts every day

Listen, I was talking to the Doctor, and he says that with my big gob, I could probably arrange for some sort of deal with Sam and the hunters. I don't know yet what that deal entails, but if you trust me, I'll see if he can give you one more chance.

And I swear if you do this to me one more time, I will stake you myself.

Love ya. <3

Private to Sam:

What would it take for you to let Enzo come back? And if you say that it's too late, then it's too late. But I've got to believe that he can be better, that he can do better. Please Sam. I'm just asking for one more chance. If you can't give it, that's fine, but I've got to try. I care about you. You know that. You helped me, and I don't want to any harm to come to you or your mates. I just feel like this is going down a dark road. If there isn't some sort of treaty made, then someone is really going to get hurt. I don't want that to be you, and I don't want it to be him either.

Can't we sort this out somehow? Can we at least try? For me? You don't have to answer right away. Think about it. Come see me if you want.

So I have a completely hypothetical situation to run by the three of you. Remember. Hypothetical.

If I arrived here without my suit or any of my tech, I would have to find a way to rebuild it from scratch, right? Hypothetically speaking.

And the only place I could really find the materials I needed, hypothetically, would be at a military base, including the chemical compounds I would need to build a reactor strong enough to keep this hypothetical suit running.

I'll admit I'm not at my strongest point right now, and finding a way to break into a military base or even weapons manufacturing base is all fine and good but I wouldn't be able to a) break in myself or b) carry out everything I needed by myself.

I would need help to do that. Dare I say a team.

So what I'm asking is, would any of you be willing to be a part of this completely hypothetical team so I can rebuild my suit and start acting useful around this place?

I wouldn't need help getting the technology for my computers, I think being a professor at the local university can help me pull enough strings to get the right people to make me what I need them to make me, but they might draw the line at a repulsor powered exoskeleton war machine.

I found the Quibbler that you left for me. I'm so happy to have it that I spent the whole afternoon reading it, but I only read it five times through. I know, that's not very much for a whole afternoon but it made me cry and that slowed things down. But don't worry, it wasn't the bad kind of crying. It was just the kind where you remember something you don't want to forget but it hits you like a bludger would if there was an unexpected Quidditch game while you were reading a newspaper.

I'll leave the payment laying around and I'm sure it will get to you like the Quibbler got to me.

Thank you.

I know that I kept thinking that I wanted to get away, but this wasn't exactly what I had in mind.

Is there really no way back? And is it true that HYDRA doesn't exist here? Holly wasn't very helpful. I'd love to hack into her system and find out what she really knows.

TJ how are you doing?  Did you have a nice Easter?

Out of curiosity, what good music have I missed in the last, oh, six years or so?

(And for that matter, science tech and astronomy.)

You don't happen to have any Retcon I could borrow, do you?* If not, I should officially apologise for having an incredibly embarrassing breakdown at you.

*(You wouldn't actually get it back, but this seems more polite.)

Any updates? How are you holding up?

[Private to Finn]
Can you please get Quinn? She's at Rebekah's. She needs to go to her house and get clothes. She'll be staying with us for a little while.
