With A Little Help From My Friends [Closed]

[[Bendytimed to immediately after this.]]

Relieved that he had managed to finally managed to escape Scott Lang and leave him to mourn in peace, Jonas staggered through the corridors, desperately seeking out a private space where he could sit and not think about what he had just done.

He had needed to do it. It would have been wrong to leave Mr. Lang oblivious to his Cassie's sacrifice. That had not made it any easier to explain to the man that his daughter had died, that even if they did manage to defeat the Ohm and restore their worlds, a day could come where she would suddenly and inexplicably by their universe's knowledge cease to be.

He sat down in a hopefully-deserted area of the hallways, leaning against the wall and burying his face in his hands. After a moment, he pulled out his omnicom and sent a message to Kate, telling her that Scott Lang was awake, had been brought up to speed, and was currently in the Media Library if she wished to avoid him.

Kate had to reread the message on the Omnicomm a few times. Scott Lang?! It hadn't been that long since Cassie's passing, and now NOW, he gets let out of the pods? After she mourned and missed him for so long? It seemed very cruel.

But now, Jonas needed her help. She ran down the halls to find him.

She found him in the exact same place he had sat down when he had sent her the message, wrapped in his cape with his head in his hands. He raised it when he heard the sound of footsteps and considered fleeing into the bowels of the ship, but decided against it.

"[Hello, Kate.]"

Right, guess what Jonas? Hugtime. No arguing, no waiting. She came up to wrap her arms around him.

"Hey Jonas."

Jonas leaned into the hug, letting his cape fall open so that he could hug her back.

He did not have anything to say at the moment. He did not even know if he could speak.
