( after venice she leaves a message for him. moira knows that it's a bad idea with a capital b but she'd never much cared for him anyway, or his opinions. if he'd wanted to do anything to her he'd just missed his prime opportunity.
she's waiting 50 miles outside of the city, confident that he'll show up. considering the public shitfest that he'd just fallen into this opportunity would be too good to pass up.
she had something that wasn't in the report. it was the bait to draw him out, and it wasn't entirely a lie. whether moira would hand it over... whether he'd even take it from her...
honestly she's a little curious herself. he coulr have done so much to her, rid himself of some of the problem at the same time. now she was out, and whilst blackwatch had simply been a means to an end she's interested enough to have this little dance with him )
[ Jack doesn't consider it a dance. If anything, he considers it an inconvenience. He's got about ten other things on his mind right now, and about twenty other people he needs to answer to, but this isn't something he can pass up.
He hadn't even known that Moira had been part of what has already been dubbed the Venice incident, so when she sends him an encrypted message saying that she's got pertinent information for him, he has to push past the anger first. Just as his frustration with Reyes' handling of things had started to simmer, now there's this.
Even getting away from HQ without causing a fuss or starting rumors is difficult. She's picked out a small town for them to meet in, someplace no one would expect to see either of them. Jack's not here officially at all, so he's in civilian wear, hood up and hands shoved in his pockets.
He expects she'll be able to find him, so he stops in front of the address she gave him and waits. ]
( she sees him arrive, her position in the shadows affording her a good view. the opportunity to reach out, to do something other than pass along this information is tempting but she hasn't come for this fuss, not in such a small place where she could be noticed, as much as getting him noticed could be beneficial.
no, for once her motives are exactly that -- information, though whilst it seems like a benevolent gesture it isnt. not from moira. he'd end up wishing that he'd ignored her message one was or the other )
I'm surprised you came.
( whe isnt, not really, but there had been a chance )
[ The truth of the matter is that Jack couldn't afford not to come, not when there's a chance that Moira might have a piece of this puzzle that he's still missing. With how Reyes handled things in Venice, he's had to reevaluate a lot of things. Is Reyes in a position to be heading Blackwatch right now?
Blackwatch will already have to be benched after this, their handling of Antonio far too public, but Jack doesn't just see Gabriel as a cog in the Overwatch machine. He's his friend, and he can't shake the feeling that this has all been uncharacteristic of him.
Moira might know something. So he's here.
Instead of explaining himself, Jack closes the distance between them, looking her up and down with an expression that doesn't hide his distaste. ]
