MENTAL LINK.

[batmotif]

[Though it may be the first time that Bruce has reached out to everyone mentally, there’s no hesitation in how quickly his voice permeates in other hosts’ heads. As with most things, the man gets right to it — besides, this isn’t exactly being done for the sake of pleasantries.

Straight to business then:]

(If you’ve been paying attention, you’d know that Public Security Commissioner Seong-Hye Ngozi has been hiding something. I plan on visiting her office to find out exactly what that is.)

[Images of the office building itself filters through the link, the fruit of prior research and reconnaissance. And the implication is more than clear that this isn’t exactly going to be a scheduled office visit.]

(I’ll need distractions outside of the Public Security offices. Only volunteer if you’re confident that you know what you’re doing.)

[He’s sure questions are on their way, but he’s not willing to entertain them preemptively. Thus, his words end there.]

((ooc; this is the post for your character to ICly offer themselves to help with the break-in plot. (As detailed here.) Note that while Bruce might not find everyone’s credentials compelling, that won’t stop your character from coordinating with others if they want. He's not your supervisor!!!

Therefore, threadjacking is highly encouraged so all characters can sort out their plotting together!)

[ It's not just Bruce -- it's the Kate and Steve and Sam, too. The fact that he's having to justify his job, his actions, in four back-to-back conversations.

Still, Clint does pick up on the fact that Bruce hasn't shut him out, is still considering. Clint hasn't been a hired gun in -- well, in years technically. And even now, he was volunteering his spy skills before he was volunteering his bow. He's got more than enough blood on his hands, and Clint's pretty sure that'll never change. But he doesn't senselessly take lives. Never has, never will. Maybe a funny line for an assassin to have, but everyone's gotta have one.

There's a sigh, but yeah, he's not wrong. ]

( Pretty much. Look, we could go at this all day. I volunteered, and if you want my help, you've got it. Don't have to be more complicated than that. )

[This conversation can be delegated to another time, another place. He can sense through their link that Clint is already getting grilled by various others, and though Bruce has his fair share of questions for his broodmate, this wasn't the point of him reaching out to begin with.

He doesn't like getting derailed, even if it's with information he's glad he now knows. And so:]

(For now, no it doesn't.

We'll be working with Mara and Rey, as well. I assume that won't be an issue?)

[ Later, later. Clint won't mind answering questions, giving information; nothing's secret now, and nothing has relevance here with SHIELD dead and gone and an entire galaxy away.

He focuses on the here, the now, the slowly drawing conclusion. ]

( Not a problem. )

[ Though he isn't very familiar with Mara or her skill. ]
