( And cell range he'd bet if they tried to get in touch with him. )

The team he was working with did not feel like Black Badge. It is possible they nursed him back to health. I could see Dolls splitting off. He never liked being under their thumb in the first place. He can only be so grateful.

[There's a period of silence as Waverly connects the dots on this.]

So he's just been out there. And he hasn't said anything?

[Oh. That hurts, possibly more than it should.]

[cowman]

Perhaps he thought it best we all move on with our lives.

( Which is not an excuse in his eyes. )

Waverly. ( Hence his call. ) Wynonna.

[stupetballs]

I have to tell Wynonna.

[She can't keep a secret from her, and definitely not one this big.]

You really don't want me to tell Wynonna?

[cowman]

That is not what I said. She deserves to know.

( He agrees on that. )

[stupetballs]

We need to tell her. Together.

[She's going to need the support, because she can't imagine on any universe this going well. This is definitely going to turn into a fight, and given Waverly hasn't actually seen Dolls ...

Yeah, sorry Doc.]

[cowman]

Alice has plans this weekend and Rebekah is preparing for the solstice with her sister. Saturday may be best.

( He is not looking forward to this. )

[stupetballs]

I can keep it to myself until Saturday.

[She's sure this will be totally fine. But oh, no, these are not nice feelings.]

[cowman]

What will we say is happening. Should we - plan a meal?

( Drinks? What is the least suspicious? )

[stupetballs]

Wynonna will never say no to free food.

[Or drinks for that matter.]

Make sure there's whiskey, and she'll show.

[cowman]

Then we will have whiskey. Perhaps we should do it close to campus. More incentive that way, if she thinks Alice will make an appearance.

( Perhaps. )

[stupetballs]

Maybe. I think she already knows Alice has plans though.

[There was a text, instructing all of her adults that she was very busy Saturday, and please do not panic if she doesn't respond to your texts before Sunday morning.]

[cowman]

Maybe after. Waverly, I will be in touch.

( And with that, he hangs his head, ends the call and returns to his in-laws' apartment, exhausted from the night. )
