That doesn't stop that premature swell of hope and relief in his chest - the idea that they're alive, that they made it out the other side of the battle he has yet to experience.

No pointers as to where he is on the timeline.]
[Well, shit. Time to be cautious and vague his own damn self, at least for now.]

[Because last time he checked, he was the leader of Blue Team.]
