I couldn't sleep
Stark Industries was raided by SHIELD this morning.
They asked about the tesseract and whether I was doing any research related to it but even when I said no, they took some part of the computer in the laboratory. I don't know what that part was.
I would like to keep to our outing today but I fear I may not be in the best of moods. There was an unsettling event at the place where I work this morning.
Don't worry about any chatter you hear on SHIELD channels.
Have you heard anything on Tony or all that mess from yesterday?[Filtered to Victoria Hand]
So what the actual fuck?
Men can be such idiots at times...
I've spent a great deal of time thinking on not only what you said but the timeliness of how you said it. The two of you, in lock-step, seem to be quite possible of completely bowling me over. Now I shall be honest with you.
My feelings for Abbie - as ridiculous as I find this sentence - are as intimate and depthy as I am quite sure you imagine. We are one, she and I. And I was quite free to choose my friendship with her not because of any prophecy (though it was driven by it) but due to our connection.
However, ladies. I should like you to realise I am not a man who can easily set aside promises. My wife - though she is not here - lives, if the Horseman has notoh godkilled her already. And Abbie deserves - Abbie should have - a companion free of such intricate failings. I hasten to add that you should press her in this direction.
I love her enough to know that I am not the best choice for her. Not in the way you expect or perhaps even hope.
I know we lost quite a lot in the midst of the raid. But if you've enough ink and parchment, I can set to recouping for you.
So, Elena.
Remember when you suggested we move out of the tower?
We're on board, but YOU have to tell Caroline.
Maybe you should do that before we look for a place, because we won't need one after she kills us all for abandoning her.
That was not how I expected my graduation from SHIELD training to go, but it's cool and I'm a full-fledged agent now. I know we talked about all going out to celebrate and I'm still for it when you lot are free.
