So, um... I was just wondering, did anyone ever find Teddy Altman? He went missing after the storm, and I'm... Well, I'm a worrier. Can't help it. [ Shrug. ] Mostly looking for an update from his friends, but just in case anyone out there knows anything - I hope no one else's missing people who should be here too - ...or if Teddy's around and just hasn't posted on the consoles again yet...

Teddy, you out there? Hello, hello, come in, Hulkling... [ She smiles a little awkwardly and clears her throat. SO SHE GETS RIDICULOUS WHEN SHE'S WORRIED. Shut up. ]

Also, Tommy, I still owe you dinner. [ NOPE, NOT GETTING MORE AWKWARD. DEFINITELY NOT. ] Some time this week, maybe?

And while I'm here, um... Agent... Peg- Agent Carter. Can we talk? In person maybe? There's something you should probably... yeah. It's not an emergency or anything, and it's not about Steve - well, mostly - it's just... a thing. [ Oh geez the awkwardness is reaching peak levels ABORT POST ABORT. ]

What's it matter to you, anyway?

[GOSH.]

Because he's a friend? Because he's helped me out before and I owe him? Because there's only so many of us here and I care what happens to us? I don't know, pick one.

[ GOSH YOURSELF. ]

Somebody's a bleeding heart.

[... despite the derisive words, he tilts his head to one side.]

Sorry he's gone.

Somebody's got a job looking out for people.

[ ...whoa, was he actually just a decent person for two seconds there? She just eyes the screen for a moment before answering: ] Yeah. Thanks.

I don't know, it's probably best for him, I just... feel bad for Billy and the others.

They'll be fine. They're pretty tough.

[ She's scrolling through the network when she chances upon Rikki's video post and spies Brandon's reply.

And someday Kate will remember that it is always better to find context before knee-jerk reactions, but today is not that day. ]

She's expressing concern. For a friend.

Thank you for that illuminating statement. You must be new.

[stop calling him out on his bullshit that's not cool!!!]

Actually, I am. That a problem?

[ Kate smiles so sweetly, it's a wonder you haven't gotten cavities, Brandon. ]

Nope. Sure explains some things, though.
