Getting to sleep with no nightmares except for the start of one last night? Priceless. Thank you, so much.

Alison

Ps - But, y'know? The superhero TV costume, purple butt floss costume and all? I'd laugh you out of the 'bird if you showed up wearing that for an actual mission. Just saying. ;)

The fact that he'll be at the boathouse where Miles goes all the time freaks me out on very basic non-reasonable levels. Put up with me checking in more often than usual? I know it's all good when you're there, but... yeah. Not thrilled with this.

Chuck vouches for him - and you know me, I ain't letting Miles out of my sight when he's here. Might want to give Miles my pager code so he goes looking for me from now on and not just wandering to the boathouse.

I know - and I do.

That's why there's no howling protests from me, right now. He already has the pager code but I'll tell him to use it to find you first from now on, yes.

I should've done something sooner, but I was otherwise detained *cough* Scott *cough* He hasn't taken this assigning of new duty too well and I've been trying to keep up on damage control.

You shouldn't have any more problems sleeping, but I have to ask. Has your dear friend been lost so far up her own arse that she's missed what's been troubling you so deeply?

Love,
Bets.

P.S. Why, I thought the outfit was quite provocative, really. Besides, buttfloss is the dentist's number choice for crime fighting.

Betsy? Scott stuff? TMI. Honest to god, not wanting to know. Starting to snicker in the middle of a team meeting would be bad. (Seriously though... yeah. I sorta figured he wouldn't be thrilled.)

Thank you. Again. And... I read a few files more than I should have. The ones we found on his hardrive? They weren't much of a pleasant read and I guess you could say they left an impression.

Alison

P.S. - It was only hanging on you by a thread, Betsy. Literally. And that is bad bad bad and I've got water up my nose now, thank you very much!

I wasn't talking about that, silly! Oh, god. Don't mention this to him, I think he'd die from embarassment. No, no, he'd kill me first then combust on the spot.

Seriously though, he's been sullen and withdrawn and truly no fun to be around. And instead of leaving him to his own devices, I've been trying to figure out what's really been bothering him. Alison, if only you could see it. I'd let myself be heartbroken, if I knew he couldn't sense it tell.

The scenarios, I've had the luck of seeing them firsthand and I can undertand....your difficulty. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to keep the nightmares away from now on. There's no use both of us staying awake at odd hours. Besides, you have a son to deal with and I only have a full-grown man to harass.

Bets

P.S. ...and some well placed glue. I thought you'd get a kick out of it. I'm still trying to figure out how the sheer weight of those sais don't manage to pull off the whole outfit. Wouldn't that be interesting? In the middle of a fight with some bad sort and my uniform snaps in two. I don't think that's what the Professor meant by utilizing my assests.

Ruin my fun, why don't you? Phooey. Betcha I could embarass him straight into another reality, if I really tried. One where he has long hair and everyone has stupid face tattoos, or something like that.

Well, yes, I'd noticed that. Along with the obsessing over everything and generally being cranky... Wish I could tell exactly what really is bothering him, but he clings to his work like a drowning man. It's more than any one person can see, I think.

Firsthand? ...oh. In his nightmares too, right. I wouldn't mind at all, really - I like sleeping, unlike most people in this place (I just do less of it, s'all(. And I'd appreciate not having nightmares. A lot.

Heh. Hyperactive little boy vs depressed grown man... At least I know Miles is happy, no matter what else might worry him from time to time.

Alison

P.S. - That'd need a heck of a lot of glue! No. Not interesting. Hello? Flashing the bad people with guns would not be effective much! And besides, wasted on the lot, too, I'll bet you. (I am NOT touching the assets line. Am not.)
