his own shoulders slump slightly in turn , tension abating .

“ that sounds just fine to me . any specific movie in mind ? “

mending distance , offering hand to the other .

“ ‘m not goin’ out. pizza , wine , and a shitty movie will do if you’re game , though. ”

gaze flickers aside as shoulders relax. sufficiently awake.

“ finished my latest job . thought i could use some of the payout to treat you to dinner , but … “

meeting other’s gaze , letting silence linger for a moment .

“ if you’re gonna drop dead from caffeine overdose on the way there , then there isn’t much point . “

“ uh — huh. ”

eyes roll as he rotates , leaning back against the countertop.

“ whaddaya want , basil. ”

Gabe is drinking pizza and wine as though I wouldn’t take him out to some fancy ass restaurant .

[ glove — clad hand lifts to the lock . off the back of his wrist , astral form splits from flesh and reaches through the lock to disable it . it blinks for a moment , and then opens up before them . ghostly limb slips back into his body . ]

all yours , doctor .

[ there’s a silent appreciation for how swiftly the team moves , a wave of shadows moving as one . it had been some time since alvarado had been a cog in the machine instead of a solo operative on a mission . ]

[✧ 𝕞𝕠𝕚𝕣𝕒 @foircean]

[ for a moment , all fall silent . the machines are the only noise that fills the empty space . the geneticist's hand reflexively moves as if to brace the back of alvarado's neck , while another agent sweeps in to similarly to his body before it might give out . ↘︎

[ he steps over the fallen bodies with the same disinterest , coming nearly shoulder to shoulder with the geneticist . being in such close proximity to biotic lock means not the same amount of effort needed to be applied — thankfully . ]

he’s down for the night .

in a random chair somewhere not his house , no less .

[ whatever snark he could’ve dredged up has long since wilted in the back of his throat . a few drops of sweat dot his forehead , glistening in cyan and magenta lights .

a quick glance over her shoulder to confirm , and then the mind separates once more . ]

[✧ 𝕞𝕠𝕚𝕣𝕒 @foircean]

control panel , her vision snapping up to the multiple security monitors that capture movement in the base . one catches her eye . the 𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙨 . stored research .without looking at him , she gestures for alvarado's approach . ]

bypass it . disengage the alarms .

[— Y͟꩜𝐔’𝐑𝐄 𐍂𝑰𝑷𝑷𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝐌𝐄 A͟P͟A͟R͟T͟ ͟.ᐟ @infragmented]

[ the lights flicker for a brief moment , and then the alarms disengage .

this time his return is less of a drifting and more of a slingshot . his body jolts harshly once two pieces connect again , ears ringing as his mind reels . the merc sucks in a harsh breath . ]
