Re: Looking for Jack: Evie/Wren/Luke + Jack
[Luke probably would've spent the entire ride in silence if Evie hadn't spoken up. He didn't mind speed, because the faster she drove the faster they could get Jack and go somewhere safe. He tore his gaze away from the window and met her gaze in the rearview mirror, briefly, shifting to Wren before he looked back outside.] Yeah. He told me not to worry at first, that he was infected but the hallucinations weren't bad. I told him to go back to Stark Tower, but he wouldn't listen. [He shook his head.] Then... he didn't reply for a couple hours, and when he did he said he wasn't alone. But he had been before. He said he was home. [He had a pretty good idea of where Jack thought he was and who he thought he was with, and his expression turned troubled as he looked back at the two women in the front seats.]
I don't think he'll be violent. We should be able to talk him into coming with us, and then we can get him to a quarantine zone. [He didn't say what he was thinking, that they should probably stay there too, just in case, since they were going to be exposed to someone who was infected. With any luck they'd come out with an antitoxin soon, and then they could get their dose and everything would be fine.
He started to say something else, stopped, and stared down at his hands instead, falling silent and still.]
