There's more than one threat facing America right now - not only is it the home of Keijen Blade, who has ascended to godhood and begun summoning an army of dark creatures to his beck and call, apparently, but what's perhaps more insidious: the President has declared all Shadowkind to be suspect as a result, and vowed to try to run anyone from another dimension out of the borders.  While figuring out how to do that, particularly when these new residents basically drop in from the sky sometimes, he's ordered all Shadowkind rounded up in internment camps until the 'crisis' passes.  Some Shadowkind have gone willingly, out of an optimistic hope that it might actually make things go more easily for them, but others have been gathered up from their homes and businesses.  

S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Knights have decided to investigate one of these camps for themselves, in hopes of finding a way to liberate it and make a statement to the government and people, ideally getting these people safely out of the country.  Hasmed and Solace have sent in a small force of Knights to scope out the situation.   They arrive in Wyoming via a stealth jet from S.H.I.E.L.D. that releases them up the road several miles out.  A van waits for them there.

[And Cora will snatch up that opportunity so fast, shifting off her bag and dropping into the seat so hat she can take the bacon and tap some out into her hand for her new BFF. The look on her face is just ... incredibly delighted because animals are her favorite people in the world.]

I had to leave my dog back in England. He's a big guy and I wasn't sure how much space we would have.

[A Bernese mountain dog would be unhappy in both desert conditions and small spaces, so she made the right choice, but she still misses her big furry lug.]

Hopefully he won't be too mad at me when I get back.

[ The second the baggy is open, Oscar raises himself up onto his hind legs. His nose following the scent before he even lays eyes on the prize as Sawyer is immediately forgotten for the holder of the treats. ]

I can't imagine the base would have been much fun for him. [ A smile softening her features as she watches Oscar greedily snatch up the bacon, two tiny clawed hands gripping it as he takes so much in his mouth his tiny cheeks puff out. ]

If he's anything like Oscar? He'll be falling all over himself to welcome you, and then he'll make you pay for leaving him for a week solid. [ Lifting her gaze from Oscar to meet Cora's. ] But he'll get over it.

[She laughs.]

Yeah, I know. But forgiving myself is the tricky part.

[Even though she knows it was the right thing to do.]

Especially since I'm not one hundred percent sure that Shawn Spencer is the best hands I could have left him in.

[She's kidding. Mostly. Shawn has been good about sending her regular pictures.]

[ That much Sawyer clearly gets, understanding flashing in her eyes as they soften. Her gaze drifting to Oscar as he returns to Cora's hand in search of more bacon. ]

He'll be safe there. That's something to remember. I feel selfish bringing him with me.

[ He was her familiar, which many a magic practitioner would see as different but no matter the connection, when an animal was considered family? It didn't matter what said connection was. ]

And... sorry for lovers of bacon everywhere. [ Oscar was not opposed to stealing it off the plate of a stranger. He was far too aware of how cute he was. ]

Hey, bacon is good. I don't blame him for wanting the good stuff.

[From one carnivore to another, he has some good taste.]
