Hank just having a crisis here again it’s fine. Don’t mind him

[bootyshortsforoldmen]

[Hank is torn here. When Sevika asked who all was involved, he tried to avoid saying anyone else’s name.

Except Catdog. Whoever the hell Catdog is.

He doesn’t want anyone to get hurt — more than they already have been, anyway — but this is all so much bigger than Hank. Which is why he confided in Accelerator in the first place.

And Hank will probably sound like an idiot if he says he trusts Connor here. Would Connor really feel this guilty about hurting his friends if they were the type to go through with this fucked up mission? Hank wants to believe no.

But what if Hank is wrong? What if he’s risking people’s lives?

Regardless, this isn’t something he wants to burden Accelerator with.]

I’m sure Connor will tell us everything we need to know. Now that he’s deviated and that barrier is gone.

[Although the whole “physical rewiring” thing that Connor mentioned has him worried.]

I’ll try not to die. TRY being the keyword.

[And he mostly means that, although Hank has kind of yo-yo’d on that. As recently as yesterday! But dying to help Connor is another thing entirely. Not a waste of his life at all.]

I’m sorry you had to deal with that. I don’t know how it all works, but I’m sure it sucks.

[He and Vincent talked about losing things through death, but Hank had been in a weird place mentally at the time.

...And still is. Just a different sort.]

[Accelerator has a hell of a lot more trust towards Connor and Hank than... whoever else was involved. Unless it was someone like Laura, which he seriously doubts. Either way, he's really hoping the fight that broke out was because these people were trying to stop Connor. That would make things a lot simpler, a lot less dangerous for everyone on Etraya.]

Yeah, I trust he will.

[This is Connor, after all. If he has the power and agency to do the right thing, then he's going to do it.

He's just... a little worried that if Connor is freshly deviated he's coming off some trauma, and interrogating him might cause additional damage. Accelerator isn't sure, he supposes he's just being (over)protective.]

Well, if anyone tries to fuck with you or Connor and you two can't handle them, let me know.

[It's fine, he's a contingency plan for Damian, he can be the same for them.]

It was my own fault that it happened, so whatever. I've moved on.

[Not really, but that's more because of the loss rather than the death.]
