"Hey, it's Kate. Leave a message."

You have a good rapport with this man, then, I take it.

[selfequipped]

Well, if it comes to getting information and looking into stuff, I'd rather work with him.

[It feels like an important thing to say.]

[notdaredevil]

As opposed to...Punisher?

[Which, to be fair, would also be Matt's preference. But he's got to work with what he's given, and he also never has to worry about Spidey running off and going on a murder bender.]

If you think Loki's phone needs a tracker, I want to know why it needs a tracker.

[xpostate]

I didn't say it needs one, only that we have opportunity and it might not be a terrible idea. If "he's Loki" isn't reason enough, then obviously that opportunity isn't being taken.

[selfequipped]

Well, he's my boss.

[doneproperly]

... I... I see. How convenient.

Perhaps "vested interest" would be more appropriate...

[selfequipped]

Yeah, so if Frank's only gone temporarily—which happens, by the way—we should consider that avenue in the future.

[selfequipped]

Let me think about it.

[notdaredevil]

Where did you get the impression I hadn't considered it?

[selfequipped]

You do realize this is the first time he's ever come up?

[notdaredevil]

Because he doesn't require a babysitter. Or necessitate warnings.

[selfequipped]

I lucked out. He's pretty damn good at what he does.

But I'm not planning on getting arrested.

[doneproperly]

No. ... Nobody ever does, in my experience.

[selfequipped]

Yeah, but given the "we're using him to find out information" angle, he really could have.

[selfequipped]

Anyway, I'll get back to you.

[doneproperly]

... I look forward to it.

[notdaredevil]

Spidey needs to work out some of his own problems first.

[Like that part where he lives with Tony Stark. But he can't tell Kate that.]

[selfequipped]

I thought most of his problems were wrapped in a Jameson-shaped box.

[xpostate]

Alright, but you may not have forever. You probably have at least a day, but if he shows up before then there isn't much we can do about it.

text.

[selfequipped]

I see Loki a lot.

text.

[xpostate]

There is a very big difference between "seeing Loki" and "getting Loki's phone away from him long enough for me to install a tracking device, then returning it without him noticing." We aren't going to get this opportunity again.

[selfequipped]

I'm up for the challenge. You should see the number I did on Madame Masque.

text.

[xpostate]

Madame Masque is a roboticist and a crimelord. Not quite a trickster god.

[selfequipped]

A trickster god who fell on the floor in a show of a dramatic fashion and also bank rolled a New Year's Eve party.
