I didn't think you'd be stupid enough to tell me you're trying to have Fray killed against regulations. I want to know who I'd be potentially pissing off. [ for example, if it were Bucky, he sure as fuck isn't attempting it becaue he doesn't want the possible future of having to watch out for Steve Rogers. He doesn't trust Dagger to keep him safe from that eventuality. That, and, he actually likes Steve. ]
[ and after having a second to actually think about this and what the motherfucking fuck he might be agreeing to, a second message is sent ]

I also need your word that whatever kid you ask me to poison/kill is absolutely necessary for the success of the crew.
Not just that they made fun of your helmet, or you woke up on the murderous side of the bed. [ he could lie to him about it easily, but this will at least let jack sleep a little easier, if he ends up having to do it. ]
Fray, and don't ask me to go after the others mentioned. [ He won't expect him to keep them off the list if they throw a fit, but he won't be the one doing it. And since Dagger isn't his instructor, he doesn't have to be. Hurrah. ]
For clarity's sake, is this is a request to have them killed, or just made severely debilitated/vomiting blood? [ one he'd be a lot more agreeable to, but he's not exactly saying no to the other. ]
Anthony isn't on your team. Not part of the agreement.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
That's a long shit list. You'll be cutting your team in half.
[ fuck shit fuck why did you change your mind, gdi. natasha's on there and jack was just looking at red kids, not red adults, jfc, fuck you dagger. okay natasha's off and that makes it mor managable, but that's still a lot or murders, so still fuck you dagger ]
If you put her on there, you're doing her yourself or finding another assassin. There's plenty of recruits more lethal than me here.
Kill them and it'll be obvious it's you, especially given the report on mission failures just came out. If it's illness, I can mix it in with others, make it just look like an epidemic.
[ because he's not just randomly killing a bunch of other people to make you look less suspicious ]

For what?
no subject
To paint my helmet.
What do you think?
no subject
How's electric pink?
The plant came from Gliese, you work with her. If you need someone poisoned, why not ask her?
no subject
That's like red, right?
Surprisingly, I'm not allowed to poison my own team.
Are you helping or not.
no subject
Yes. Red with white. It's very popular. [ pls make your helmet electric pink, dagger, do it. ]
Depends on who it is and what I get for it.
no subject
I like that.
It's not Fray, if you're worried. She's stupid but she's useful.
You have a problem with kids?
no subject
Get me some paint, I'll make it happen.

Varies. Which kid?
no subject
Kids.
If you have an age limit, now's a good time.
no subject
Telling me what I get from it will decide the age limit.
Ones I won't do: Dirk Strider, Dave Strider, Arya Stark. Others are fair game.
no subject
What do you want for it, then?
no subject
Free pass for Fray, next time she fucks up.
no subject
Done.
You're not gonna ask why?
no subject
As long as it isn't the above stated, I'm not that concerned about it. But sure, why?

You're cute.
I am not risking the entire crew for the morals of a few kids who think they know better.
Culling the herd. I'm sure you understand the concept.
I keep Fray off the list, you don't warn anyone.
Don't mess with me either, I'll know if you do.
no subject
You're more unhinged than I'm willing to trust.
Fray, and don't ask me to go after the others mentioned. [ He won't expect him to keep them off the list if they throw a fit, but he won't be the one doing it. And since Dagger isn't his instructor, he doesn't have to be. Hurrah. ]

Striders and Fray. Got it.
[ That's not much to ask, given that they've never been on his list in the first place. ]
FROM: dagger@cdc.org
I'll give you the whole list in a bit.
Just get them as close to death as possible.
no subject
And Stark.
[ he doesn't know her personally, but knows bucky's fond-ish of her and no way in hell is he getting on bucky's bad side ]
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Fine. Deal.
[ that he can do with a free conscience. he's not a terrible person, but he's not that good of a person either. ]
no subject
Arya, not Anthony.
[ Dagger likes her. She's killed people. ]

I changed my mind. Go for the kill. No one takes me seriously.
no subject
On second thought: not Romanoff or Karelin either. I think Mom was Russian in her past life, they're her comrades.
I don't want to die yet.

I agreed to 'as close to death as possible'.
no subject
I've worked with less. I don't need anyone who's useless to my team.
And I haven't agreed to Arya Stark.
This could be longer. New Reds haven't started their homework yet.

no subject
She trusts you. There's only about five recruits here that can claim that. You'll do it.
And don't worry about that, I've got you covered.
no subject
She trusts Barnes, not me. I've hardly even met her. Have him do it.
I'm not on your team. If Gliese tells me to, I have to. Not you.
