( while David delivers the prodigal daughter, the Malreaux siblings take recon at Mexico City.

Rusty travels separately, they can't be too careful.

Max would deny he feels anything about that, or anything for Rusty who rebuffed him, so it's good they're focusing on the matter at hand, isn't it.

they spend hours the first day watching the compound connected to hernandez, but nothing sticks out of place. Rusty estimates a week, but, he makes it clear, it's best to eliminate Hernandez as fast as possible once her body goes up in smoke.

back with zip, zilch and bupkiss, the siblings sit at the rooftop bar.

the dj spins a collection of reggaeton hits and has several guests up on a makeshift dance floor by the rooftop pool. two fruity drinks are placed in front of the Malreaux's.

max rotates from checking the elevators ahead of them and his messages.

ostensively: (how it has to be)

( it's twofold. david's alibi and the trigger they need to turn the entire board over after swiping their hands across the pieces. when sierra resurfaces, 24 hours later, the gauntlet starts, and everything that comes with it.

she waits in the lobby of the Baltimore location.

david and her talked it through beforehand, parking his car down the street first. her parents will be called, but likely won't be there. his will. she reminds herself and him this isn't their parents and even when they were, they weren't god's gift. they were born wanting and keeping power. and in one way they kept it.

she crosses her arms, tapping her fingers along her elbow.

and second, david will be back down. with either his mother, father, or both, in tow. and everything will begin.

( statistically, you're not supposed to have regrets at eighteen years old. but most eighteen year-olds aren't rescued, adopted, and brought into the fold. it was his first assignment, his supervisor pulled rank, and everything got mucked up.

yes, he needed undercover experience. but not at the expense of making alice earp (and to a lesser extent, wynonna) look like fools. it ended with a bang in every sense of the world, but he was being pulled back and there were no pieces to pick up.

he was the biggest liar she'd her met. she was the first person who gave him shit and didn't just say yes.

and then he left.

a little over six months later and he's sent to New York. in between, he's been on a few shorter-term assignments. week-long in and out's. and still, he can't stop thinking of the one that got away. if it's even fair to think of her like that.

wild magic ran amok and black badge wants answers, especially because it was in proximity to Wynonna Earp's progeny, who, apparently, had gotten into NYU. he tells himself he won't even tell her he's here. the city is big enough for the both of them. but the origin of the wild magic is, of course, on campus. and not far from Alice's dorm. he's told. he hasn't resorted to finding her, yet. when he taps into surveillance, it's clear Alice, and others, none of which he recognizes are involved. Alice is lookout, and then, frantic. (there's no sound, but he knows people disappeared, there's a sheep, the older woman reappears.)

yep. wild magic.

he couldn't just head in and out, could he?

he owes a report, but he can't run it, because he doesn't know what black badge will do with the information. she doesn't need to be on their radar. she needs to get an education. to heal her heart, find a better guy, to grow in every way and leave him behind.

unfortunately, he still needs to know himself, what happened, if he's going to cover it up.

he tracks her room down, lets himself in and parks himself by the desk he thinks is hers. (there's a picture of her and her mom, so he hopes it's hers.)

he's not hear as a grand gesture. he's here to do a job.

and, to hopefully leave her out of the job.

( after baltimore, his failed relationship and his failed kidnapping, Luke falls back into his old life. he ups his security and hires a middle man to vet his new and old clients alike. he charms his apartment, the floor his apartment is on, and his building. some might call him paranoid, others might point out that he should've done this in the first place.

but he's always been the reckless brother. someone had to step up while his sister went corporate and became common-law married to a werewolf.

everyone has to grow up, some time. right?

it's a two-punch wake-up call. he was in actual danger. and he was with an actual asshole. both are dodged. happily.

a week later, he boards the subway a few stops away from his, still slightly paranoid. he grabs a handle above him and focuses on his phone. he always zones out on these rides, or gets business done. he has two drops to make today and he has to put the finishing touches on a 48 hour concoction in the middle of it all. right now?

he's planning on quitting his day job as a biochemist. so, he's going in on his day off. take that, life.
