We might want to sort this out. (Quinn)

[notmadeofglass]

A few months had passed since Tina's boyfriend decided to confess to not being who he had said he was while simultaneously insisting that his feelings (and their relationship) were real. She had decided to go on vacation, then came back to New York for a bit, then decided that going back to the villa in Tuscany just would be uncomfortable and awkward. Steve-Quinn was welcome to stay as long as he wanted, though. She was mad, not going to make someone homeless.

She'd simmered down considerably, though, and decided to attempt to figure out where things were with them. She had no expectations, though she was pretty sure no Italian hookers had been involved. She left a message with Steve-Quinn asking him to meet her at a restaurant in New York. She knew he was in the city. She'd checked the customs computers.

"I wondered, actually. I was pretty messed up after you told me about things. Which reminds me, if you ever meet my friend Rose she will probably punch you."

"How many people did you tell about our little confessional?" he asked.

Re: The Following Night

[notmadeofglass]

"Only Rose. She is my one friend."

Re: The Following Night

"You never spoke about her." he said.

Re: The Following Night

[notmadeofglass]

"I also never spoke of my odd family dynamic."

Re: The Following Night

[i_can_hit_that]

"Well, I didn't talk about my family and friends so I can't be mad."

Re: The Following Night

[notmadeofglass]

"You might like Rose. When she decides she doesn't want to kill you."

Re: The Following Night

"We'll see." he chuckled.

"Do you have other questions?" he asked.

Re: The Following Night

[notmadeofglass]

"Why don't you just face SHIELD?"

Re: The Following Night

[i_can_hit_that]

"Because I'd go to prison...if I'm lucky. Otherwise, I'll just disappear and you won't see me again. And I don't get a chance of finding my mother." he said.

"And there's no chance that you're wrong about how SHIELD would handle it? You're, apparently, a Barton after all."

Re: The Following Night

[i_can_hit_that]

"That's the thing. They can't really give me a pass because of my parents. Sends the wrong message."

Re: The Following Night

[notmadeofglass]

"I don't think they'd give you a pass, but I do think they'd go the extra mile to clear your name."

Re: The Following Night

[i_can_hit_that]

"I wish I knew that for sure, babe. But I can't take that chance until I've got some proof." he said.

Re: The Following Night

[notmadeofglass]

"You do realize that any proof you would get they would discount if it were you that brought said proof to them, right? That's how these things usually work."

Re: The Following Night

[i_can_hit_that]

"Well, yeah. That's why I find the proof and then get another party to give it to them." Quinn said.

Re: The Following Night

[notmadeofglass]

"I feel like you are over-complicating this in ways that you can't even begin to keep a handle on."

Re: The Following Night

[i_can_hit_that]

"Me? Over-complicate things? Babe, I'm the /master/ of keeping it simple. I'm a guy. I'm so simple, I make simple look like calculus." Quinn told her.

"But spy stuff really is complex. You'd make a hot spy, though. Just saying."

Re: The Following Night

[notmadeofglass]

She rolled her eyes.

"You are so not simple. And I'd be a terrible spy."
