He gently wraps his fingers around Connor's, rubbing his hand with his thumb, on the outside they're just a couple having a private moment. Something sweet to be smiled at.

He gingerly gives him the thought. He has a suspicion, because most of the people at the department didn't remember the incident, he thinks they might have shut down during the black-out. The ones that don't remember at all are the ones that have already been replaced. Then he recalls Loki's theory, that the black-out released the things before they were done. He'd like the sound of it. That led him to the idea the Heart might have caused the black-out.

And that doesn't make him feel warm. It makes him feel cold and angry, that they treated them like idiots to manipulate loyalty. To present themselves as a safe place when people probably would have listened if they'd said the truth and not spent their time on masks and performance. But that's beside the point.

People aren't supposed to be dying and staying dead. They are. And these are definitely humans. So there's a lot more to find out than a drug bust. Maybe the Head is breaking down in its old age. Who knows.

He's going to look into it, but he wants Connor to be careful. Be very careful, because he can't stand the idea of losing him right now.
