video; closed to hargreeves family & prim
[ His expression is mostly drawn, thoughtful, and grouchy as per usual. ]
I think once Klaus is back in one piece, we should probably start some private family training. Prim, I'd like you to come and if you don't feel comfortable joining, at least maybe you can pick up a few things that might help in a pinch just by watching.
I know we already talked about it a little, Klaus, but I might as well put it out there to the group. Some of us are rusty. Some of us have a lot to learn. Either way, people are going missing at a pretty uncomfortable rate, according to the local paper, and when you add that to the attacks on Supers?
Out of all of us, I'm probably the last one interested in picking up Dad's training to restart the Academy and go out and play superheroes, but it sure as shit wouldn't hurt to at least brush up on the skills. And...if I'm being entirely honest, maybe it wouldn't kill us to try to help find some of the missing locals. There are kids being hit with whatever the hell is happening. A nine-year-old girl isn't the one hurting Supers, but one is among the missing. I don't care about the Academy but...I've got enough blood on my hands. Maybe helping a little bit might wash some of that off.
[ His brow creases a little and he frowns, then looks away briefly before looking back at the camera, shrugging, and sighing. ]
I don't know. Either way, we should train. When are you all free?

[ If sarcasm could drip off of his words it might. In fact, the whole room might be full of it at this point. He reaches for a jacket as well— on that's definitely not his based on the style, but most likely one of Tony's. ]
I've been in worse shape before and you know it. I'd say being physically beaten is better than being high as a kite any day. Maybe. You walking over now? I'll come with!
[ Sorry, Ben. ] Then we can all be uncivil, overcompetitive nutjobs together. One big happy family.

[Ben Scoffs, pointedly.]
I'm walking over now, meet me in the lobby - and I don't know where you get your logic. How is being physically beaten and healing from those injuries somehow a better state than being high as a kite? Please. Logic that one out with me.
[Ben shakes his head.]
I don't think one big happy family has ever been the right tagline for us.

[ He snorts and fumbles with the video for a second, trying to hop into one of his shoes. It's not working. ]
Lobby. Got it. I'll see you in a sec. Oh, shit. [ The video swerves, because he's probably just fallen over, but it goes black. He's fine. Just another day ending in Y. ]
