because up until last night, i had no idea the inner circle existed
[ funny how helpful secrets are, isn't it!!! ]
if you want shield manpower to take them out, you have to be willing to bring something to the table too right now, the offer is strictly supplies and safety. that was marcos' request
as for passing the buck, i have a feeling he wanted somebody who could be objective to call the shots since you've never seen me naked, you probably qualify
[ maybe she was telling the truth but all things considered, john doesn't see how that's possible when the inner circle had been making as much as it had been lately. ]
they've been setting the world on fire and you haven't noticed?
our hands have been a little busy the last few years between radcliffe's aida project dragging us into cyberhell and being sent to space in the future, looking into mutant uprising programs wasn't really on the agenda
[ do you want to have a pissing match about whose life is harder, john? is that really productive? ]
mace might have been an idiot, but he got us funding from the black books again we have the money to support ops programs the lighthouse is being refitted, the playground's being rebuilt
if people want to fight, they're welcome to fight whatever battles you have if they want a safe place to go, they have them nobody's being pushed anywhere they don't want to be
i'm gonna talk to everyone tonight. i'll let you know what they've decided.
[ but one more thing: ]
marcos can do what he wants. he's an adult. and if he wants to restart something i can't stop him. but just know that if the same thing happens again, we're going to have words.
[ he doesn't care if it was marcos' fault. marcos was his brother and blood meant everything. ]

[ because been there, done that. he does not want to open his people up to someone from the inside taking them down. ]
no subject
we've lost enough friends to know what loyalty means
[ more importantly ... ]
if you think i would ask you to expose your family to harm just to get back with marcos, you really don't know me at all
no subject
[ god, he hopes no one would do that for someone else. ]
but we've had some defections. i don't want that happening with any of yours. it exposes us.
no subject
defections and exposure doesn't help anyone
if there's anything we can all agree on, i would hope it'd be that.
