"Hey, none of that face. I’ve been incident free for a year.” [Of course her jokes would backfire.]

"Hey, hey, I'm allowed to make that face. You'd make it too if we switched places."

"Well, hey, look on the bright side, at least the computer was the thing that glitched.” [A hand motioned to her chest to try and pull a smile from him]

"Yeah, thank god..."

[he didn't even want to think about that]

"Because my code is flawless. Well, maybe there was a flaw or two.”

"Yeah, well that flaw or two caused the system to glitch. I went in to fix it and I caught all but one mistake and it crashed."

❝Oh…❞

[ She wasn’t entirely sure how to react. She had expected him to agree. She didn’t think it was even a possibility moving to Maryland without him. ]

❝ why not? Birkhoff, if this about us once again not telling you anything… then I’m sorry. But we want you to come with us. Michael needs you. Nerd, I need you.❞

"Nonono, i'ts---It's not that."

[she's making it harder than it needs to be. he really didn't want to leave his family, but, then there was sully. he couldn't leave her, and he wasn't quite sure moving her in with assassins, with people who, even though the government had given them all the okay, there were people out there that were crazy, he knew it would never be truly safe with them. even with him]

"I can't leave Sully. I don't think it'd be best to bring her with, either."

"Well, we wouldn’t have to work on it. If you didn’t mess with my code.”

"Why am I always getting the blame?"

"Hey, it's not like I'm not working on it, too."

[ She sighed feeling terrible, as she knew he was upset even if he tried to hide it. ]

❝It all happened so fast, but you’re right. We should have told you sooner. Still… don’t think we’d move to a new place in Maryland without a room for Nerd…❞

[he was too busy being upset over the fact that--yet again--nobody had bothered to tell him anything, that he just now realised that going with really wouldn't be an option. he exhaled, not quite sure how to say it]

"Look, Nikki---The offer is great, but---I, uh. I don't think I can go to Maryland."

[Of course. There was no other way it would have happened. She grinned even wider as he kissed her. The moment being exactly how she’d dreamed. Her heroes coming to life for just a moment. And that moment with someone she cared about. Someone that she actually was comfortable around. It was amazing.]

"I never thought…I mean, I’m not the easiest person to get along with. I…thank you."
