Solace's announcement makes the situation unfortunately plain - those who have worked to stop Blade and company for the last five years have been side-lined, and will be until this ends, one way or another.  Jack has sent out a secret communication to all members of the team, asking them to gather in Thomas Bancroft's old room, which has stood empty since his death, and is usually locked.

When they make their way there before 8am, however, they will find the door unlatched.  Jack is already inside, with Gar seated near him, one hand on his arm.  Kat leans against the wall behind Fred, who is seated in a chair.  Her arms are folded, and she's grinding her teeth back and forth.

My life took a turn before I even bloody got here, I'd wager. Certainly I've never known a different life.

[He gives a half smile.]

Just wanted to get your side of the story. I won't say you can count on me as an ally, but... I'm not your enemy. Not unless I need to be.

Well, you have it. [shrugs] That and a nickel will get you nothing by distrust and ridicule from the rest of the team, but that's life, right?

[He steps away from the pump and turns to go, throwing over his shoulder:] If you can trust me on nothing else, trust me when I say this- you'll know when you need to be my enemy. It sure as hell ain't now. Whether everyone likes it or not, we all want the same thing right now.

[bigbad]

I believe you.

[About that, at least. Everything else, well... they'll have to wait and see.

He slides back into his car and pulls away.]
