"There's no need to thank me. You asked me to keep it safe, so I did," he explained, shrugging his shoulders. If any of those he considered friend needed his help he would offer it without question. And this time was no different. Of course, he'd been curious about the locket and why she needed it tucked where no one would find it. He'd always been a curious person and when she'd left the package with him he hadn't even bothered to ask what it was. The only thing he'd asked at the time was if she would come back for it. Steve didn't want to keep it hidden forever. Especially if it meant trouble. But if she was going to come back for it…

None of that mattered since she was there. His house maid had been the one who hid it in the first place, and he knew she would know where to retrieve it from. The woman who ran his house was someone he trusted with his life and he hoped that Charlie would understand why he handed it over to her. Everyone who worked in his house had to pass her judgement and if she thought they weren't good enough then he wouldn't hire them. It was as simple as that. Now that Charlie was there, Steve was definitely curious to find out what it was he'd kept hidden away. Was it as dangerous as he was assuming? Or was it something else entirely?

"Why would I hate you? We're friends. You don't normally hate your friends."

@celestialpriick braved the city to leave a message: ❝ That man’s asshole must be tight enough right now to bend space. ❞ for tony

"I'm not sure I'd go that far…"

He had to admit he hadn't thought about it like that, but now that she'd put the thought in his head he couldn't see it any other way. Though, if he actually thought about it in terms of science there was no way something like that was possible. Bending space took a lot more effort than most people thought and there was no way that someone's ass could actually do that. And even if they could it wasn't something he wanted to think about. Not when he had far more important things to worry about. Like how the hell she managed to get past FRIDAY's sensors. Tony had made certain that no one could get past them and yet somehow she had. And that was concerning for him. The last thing he needed was for someone to find and exploit a weakness he hadn't known about. "Since we're talking about people — who are you and how did you get in here."

"What are you even talking about?"

He'd taken a moment to entertain the other's question and standing there he was thinking it was a mistake. The Flagsmashers had escaped once again, and he needed to get ahead of them before the disappeared all together. It didn't help that he n longer had the backing of the government. They'd asked him to take over the shield, they'd asked him to be Captain America and now — they'd stripped him of that honour and now he was having to do everything without their approval. Not that John cared. The voice in his head reminded him that they needed to pay for killing his friend and partner. Shoving it aside, he looked over at the other. What was it that they were after? And what the hell did they mean with that question? "Who are you and what the hell are you after?"

@celestialpriick braved the city to leave a message: ❝ This is just an excuse to wave their cocks at each other. ❞ for lanie

"Uh-huh."

Not for the first time did she honestly not want to know what it was Chuck was going on about. Usually when she asked him to explain it ended up with her finding out things she never wanted to know about in the first place. And this time felt just like some of the others. Unfortunately, her curiosity had been piqued and a part of her wanted to know what it was he was prattling on about. She knew she'd probably end up regretting it, but there was always that small chance that it might be something of use. Damned if she did, damned if she didn't. Narrowing her eyes, Lanie knew if she didn't ask him to explain Chuck would do it anyway. At least this time it would seem like she was truly interested even if she knew she'd regret it in the end. "What is it really? Because that seems extreme for a dick measuring contest."

@celestialpriick braved the city to leave a message: ❝my accidental legacy, but yes.❞ for anakin ;)

"Okay…"

Confusion was etched into his features as he stared at the other. What had she meant by accidental legacy? None of it made sense and he was trying to focus on the mission ahead of him instead of someone like her. The war against the Separatists was getting worse and the blockade was one of many they were trying to break if they could. There were plenty of innocent people on the planets being blockaded and they needed to help them instead of allowing the Separatists to starve them into compliance. Anakin knew they couldn't afford to split their attentions and knew they needed to deal with her first before they moved onto their current mission. First, he needed to figure out who she was and then he needed to figure out what the hell she meant. "Who are you? How did you get in here?"

@celestialpriick braved the city to leave a message: ❝congratulations on being alive.❞ for kanan. in her sw verse.

"How?"

Blinking, he remembered his death, he remembered pushing Hera to keep her safe and alive, and how he'd finally been able to see her one last time. He'd always known the Force was something no one truly understood, but he didn't think it was possible for him to return to life. Had it been the Force? Or had it been something else? He didn't know and while he would've loved to know how, he knew the answer wasn't going to be simple. And then there was the woman in front of him. Kanan hadn't seen her before and wondered if she was behind his sudden return to life. Something else he wasn't certain he wanted to know. Too many questions, not enough answers and even if there were answers they would be ones he didn't want to know. "And who are you? I've never seen you before."

@celestialpriick braved the city to leave a message: ❝the only thing that’s magical here is you.❞ for eames. she's subtle.

"Darling…"

He actually rolled his eyes at the other, wondering just what it was she was after. Most people who complimented like that were after something and he would figure out what it was she wanted sooner rather than later. The last thing he needed was an interruption like this. He'd been sitting there watching his mark so he could use it in the dream when she sat down with him, and now his attention was split. Not that it was difficult for him to do two things at once, but he'd rather focus on his mark than on some random conversation. Unfortunately, Eames knew he'd have to give her more of his attention than he wanted and do his best to keep his eye on his mark. If he left? He'd definitely cut the conversation short. This was more important in the long run. "Ifn you were trying t'get into my bed you're going t'have t'do better than that."

Confusion once again etched into his features listening to Charlie talk. He'd seen and heard a lot of things since moving to the 'ton, but something told him this was going to make everything else insignificant. What did she mean that she wasn't human in a way he thought? There really was only one way to be human and hearing that had him beyond confused. But he'd taken her in, he'd protected her secret, and now he knew he was going to get the truth. But was it the truth? Or was it something to cover up her disappearance? Steve wanted to believe her, but he'd spent too much time around those in the 'ton to truly believe what he was told.

"What do you mean not human?" At least he was alone in the house. Or as alone as one could be when his staff had gone off for the night. Even the head housekeeper had slipped off to do whatever it was she did when he wasn't there. Which meant whatever was going to happen next wouldn't make it past the front doors. Something he would actually be grateful for. He knew that everyone talked about him being there on his own with no wife. Some of them actually tried to set up their daughters with him. Steve hated telling them no, but at the moment he wasn't ready to start the next chapter of his life. But that wasn't why Charlie was there. He hated just how many secrets ran through the 'ton and the last thing he wanted was to be the target of them. "So you do know who she is," was all he could stay, shaking his head. It didn't surprise him. Lady Whistledown's secret could only stay hidden for so long before it came to light.

For now, though, he was focused on the secret Charlie was going to reveal. The light that came forth from the necklace was bright and he brought his hand up to cover his eyes. Once it was done he brought his hand down and found Charlie was still there. She even looked the same and the confusion on his face deepened. "What was that?" None of it made sense and yet something told him that what he'd seen wasn't even close to normal. What he really needed was for her to explain what the hell he'd seen. Steve didn't need visuals, he needed her to explain so he didn't feel the need to walk out of his own house.
