Oh, Jan. In a way, they're all in the same boat--worrying whether someone else is alive--but for Jan and S'teve it feels different. Hank and Tony walked in knowing exactly what they were risking.

CLINT! His PoV is so... well, messed up, but in a good-to-read way. His time playing spy really worked a number on him. ;-; And then we got the Isimud/Kammani moment and that was just made of awwwh.

(WINCE) That's just... (flail) We've all heard those arguments before, and then Steve nails it with the not-too-subtle reference to WWII war criminals. AND THEN TOOOOONY D: D: D: D: Omg you guys almost had me there! I can't help but wonder what Kammeni was thinking just then.

One chapter left! One! Is it next Saturday yet? (eyes the calendar)
