[She knows two people who could override it, but neither Howard nor Jason Wilkes happen to be here, and so Peggy is left with a device in her head that she absolutely does not trust one bit.]
If you find one, please let me know. Perhaps we can meet there, ride this out until everyone is done being some false version of themselves.
I'll keep you updated, but it I find a place, I won't be joining you. I've been compromised. That means I'm riding this out alone as long as possible. [ he sincerely doubts a headache is all that he has to guard against. he can't predict what's coming, but he knows what he's capable of at his worst and it's not a variable he wants in play.
his earth is stock full of kill or be killed choices, and just because he'd prefer not to hurt someone, it doesn't mean he won't. ]
[Peggy hates to leave any of her people alone, which means that she needs to be there in order to help, no matter what it means for her.]
Let me come and check on you? Or is it better if we pick a time when this is all done, check on each other then?
[Will the paranoid thoughts be gone then? Will the drive and the need to find the items on the list dissipate to the point that Peggy can bear it and be herself? She doesn't know, but she has to try.]
[ keeping her in the dark ( when he knows how encompassing it is ) has him switching the feed to video. she can get a good look at him from a safe distance. ]
I'm in one piece. I'll remain that way as long as I know you, and my other friends, are okay. I'm asking you not to come looking for me before this is through. Can you do that?
[She takes her fill of looking because she never really tires of looking at Bellamy (her secret, for now) and because she wants to make sure he's not making up any stories about being fine. It does seem that he's safe, though, thankfully.]
I don't like it, but yes, I can do it.
[She's switched to video as well, letting her face fill the screen.]
Be safe, Bellamy. I like your face the way it is, it would be a shame if you did something stupid with it.
[ he's alone in his bedroom, bag packed, straps around his shoulders. there's nothing outwardly wrong with him. when she gives him the opportunity to look upon her, he ensures the same. bellamy nods, taking some consolation out of her agreement. ]
What, this old thing? [ it'd be flattering in another type of situation. ] Try as I might to make the dumbest choice possible, nobody's ever completely dismantled it. [ he's sort of kidding. ] I'll do my best, Peggy.
