I don't know for certain how they view me. The discussion was...tense. And I could not say everything I might have wished to on the matter. Pepper was present and would not leave. As we were in her home I could not ask more than once. Barton is well. He's healing- Sue Richards and Billy had a hand in his mending.

...Loki fell through a black hole, Luke. I can't- just thinking about that gave Apep's influence an entirely new flavor of horror to work with. He's bitter and scarred and when I checked in with him after the shift he was in such pain.

I don't know...this is far, far too big for me. This is the most I've been in over my head, ever. It's part of why I'm leaving for two weeks. I need to be elsewhere.
