Day 10ish

[shiro2hero]

(It's high time I did this.)

[Oh no, someone is gearing up for one of Those Speeches. Because one of their new arrivals ticked off a box in his head, and Sam's asking for training helped.]

[And he's tired of walking on eggshells.]

(I don't know how many of you were there when I found out what my Symbiote does. I sort of wish I hadn't. But. I can't change that.)

[Yeah apparently it made him the Space Hulk. And it took at least two people to keep him from ripping someone's face off.]

(What I can do is control it. I just need to know where to start.)

(So I'm taking a lead from Sam Wilson. Asking if anyone is willing to help. I... don't think I can promise no one will get hurt, but if we're careful, maybe it'll just be me.)

[And he can live with that.]

(Both of you.)

(Step back. Calm down. None of this is going to help the situation.)

[ she's yours when she's like this you deal with her

It's not going to help, though, and Sam knows that. He and Pidge are just feeding off each other through the brood bond at this point, and he does need to step back. There's a quiet curl of acknowledgement before he pulls away. ]

[She's my responsibility anyway.]

[He doesn't say it. But it's there, all the same. Just before Sam withdraws.]

[... some things he's fighting to keep close, in the wake of all this.]
