He doesn't style himself after the god of mischief. He is the god of mischief.

And given that absolutely no one from your world is honest (NO ONE), you cannot judge him. You're not even anywhere near a position of "it makes sense for Freddie Lounds to judge him."

[ yeah, she's about to rebut that "Abigail Hobbs is totally honest!!!" but no. Abigail isn't. her world is full of liars. ]

Get Loki to promise to me to keep his damn mouth shut and then you'll get the information.

[That won't happen.]

Fine, I won't tell him. This shouldn't take too long.

[ YEAH, FREDDIE KINDA FIGURED. ]

So for clarification, what I'm telling you is strictly between you, Billy, and America.

I won't mess it up, but do know that our lovely Anne might be spreading this information around.

I doubt it. I'm the only one of us who can reach that wide an audience. She's banking on me to tell this info.

Just making sure you know that I keep my word.

And I'm holding you to it.

Get on with it.

It was a Cape Canaveral scientist. No names, but Anne essentially gave me the equivalent of loose lips sink ships.

Btw, she doesn't want me to give the source's name in the article, mostly so she can have the potential of getting more information. Though, now it would be so Ananke doesn't have as wide a net to cast to find the blabbermouth.

Or loose memories. A shake of a hand can get us a long way.

I still think an anonymous source is going to sink you after last time. I'm verifying this partly because of that.

I know that in an ideal world, I'd prefer a source linked to a name over anything else. But this isn't an ideal world, is it. We make do.

I'm really wondering why you're so attention starved.

And I'm really wondering why I texted you up in the first place.

Because I'm your friendly neighborhood detective with a photographic memory. I know all, I see all.

Or something like that.

I should get a theme song.

[Oh, there is a sing-song quality to that text. It's like Freddie's words gave her a boost of energy.]

You do know how absolutely Orwellian that sounds, right?

I had a lengthy conversation about 1984 the other day. Maybe I felt inspired.

Then here's your theme song.

[ and attached is a link to whatever the Heropa version of Rockwell is ]

I don't know how long it'll take you to work your creepy powers on Cape Canaveral scientists and I don't know how long it'll take you to FIND the right scientist. Neither Kanaya nor Ruka were scientifically inclined at all and gave me pretty much nothing about the Porter. [ it's almost like Kate purposefully sent her towards a fussbudget alien and a fourteen year old girl. ]

I'm hitting print.

[Damnit, Kanaya. What happened to being a condescending know-it-all about everything?]

Tony Stark. And Loki will know.

They'll be Part Two. Part One is getting this out there and stirring the waters. [ Freddie managed to milk the Summer Games for at LEAST five articles, she's gonna milk this thing for all it's worth. ]

No, you know as well as I do that Stark is legitimate. Go to him.

He's also an asshole, and he could try to use that information in a bad way. I hoped the others knew about the Porter before. Kanaya prides herself on knowing everything, and as we've shown, common knowledge says nothing.

I'll retract Loki knowing if you don't print this. I won't be able to talk to any scientists if this goes to print.

I've got a limited window of opportunity here. Yes, I'm the best means of doing this, but I'm not the only. I'm going to print this, before someone else gets their hands on it or you accidentally spill the beans to any of the scientists.

You're enterprising. I'm sure you'll manage to figure this out even when I do print it.

I don't "accidentally" spill beans. You print this, and I say you don't even know who your source is. That we're back to square one, and without the opportunity to find out more. I gave you the names. That was the deal.

I've got an idea of who the source is. [ no she doesn't. ]

I've been doing a lot of research since last night. You call me out on that, I might just retort with the source's name. Oooh, but then we wouldn't HAVE any more information about the Porter, would we? Care to risk it?
