"Okay, what is this nerdy crap?"

The piece of paper in Tamsin's hands was definitely some kind of nerdy crap, she was sure of it. Still, it was their best shot at at least getting the island back to somewhere that had actually decent bars

Gather Up And Wait

[fjordicswagger]

Before Tamsin types in the code, there's plenty of time to hang out among yourselves and talk about how stupid all of this is.

At least, she figures that's what you're doing.

"I hate you," Hardison muttered. "You're just messin' with me, I know it."

Except for the high possibility he wasn't.

Eliot gave a small, toothy smile.

And changed the subject.

"So how do you know about a giant computer city under the island, exactly?"

Re: Gather Up And Wait

[age_of_the_geek]

"Been there before," Hardison said. Smugly. "What, you think you're the only one who goes on adventures, man?"

Re: Gather Up And Wait

[vdistinctive]

"I'm thinkin' I shoulda noticed any adventures you been havin' on this island."

"Maybe you were off fightin' cyborgs at the time," Hardison said.

Take that!

Re: Gather Up And Wait

"Nah, I ain't done that since you moved out here."

Which was true even if he hadn't done it before then, either.

"Guess you weren't payin' attention, then," Hardison said. "I was too busy tryna not get shot at to call."

He nodded over at Tony Stark. "That's when I met Tony, too. Cool dude. We talk tech."

Eliot frowned. He didn't take things like 'you weren't paying attention' lightly.

Or particularly well.

"Again, when did this happen?"

Re: Gather Up And Wait

[age_of_the_geek]

"...Coupla years ago, now," Hardison said, trying to remember. "Not too long after I got here, I think. Spring of '15, I wanna say?"

Re: Gather Up And Wait

[vdistinctive]

"Right around when you first got here," Eliot guessed, and relaxed minutely.

The spring right after Hardison got here Eliot hadn't been paying attention to anything the way he should have been.

Re: Gather Up And Wait

[age_of_the_geek]

"Yeah, right after the whole mess with Gaunt," Hardison agreed. "You were busy gettin' un-crazied."

Re: Gather Up And Wait

[vdistinctive]

"And y'all just, what, wandered into the sewers for fun?"

Yeah, that sounded just like Hardison.

Re: Gather Up And Wait

[age_of_the_geek]

Hardison's expression agreed with the narrative completely.

Re: Gather Up And Wait

[vdistinctive]

"You know, you're terrible at tellin' a story."

Re: Gather Up And Wait

[age_of_the_geek]

"Well, you're terrible for assumin' I'd ever wander into the sewers!" Hardison protested. "I was bein' chased, there were weird clones runnin' around, we ended up in the computer city."
