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.

He is better than Archer, I'd wager. [SPIKE REALLY HATED ARCHER.] Just... know you can talk to me, all right? I may fret, but I won't judge.

[She simultaneously smirks and rolls her eyes.]

I sure set a high bar back then, didn't I?

[Sarcasm ahoy. That said, she sobers up a bit, shaking her head softly.]

You're offering me something that I can't entirely accept, through no fault of your own. Much of my life must remain private. [Gotta keep the Devil's secrets, after all.] I won't make you a target.

[She reaches out, fingers wrapping around the hand that isn't steering the car, and squeezing softly.]

But it's nice to know that you're open to it, regardless.
