[Crazy stuff. It's so damned accurate that Roy can't help the half-snort, half-laugh thing that escapes, but there's absolutely no amusement in it. He brings a hand up to pinch the bridge of his nose, then gestures at the ground next to him.
Pull up some dirt. It's a long story.
What's Truth trying to do here? Teach him some idiot lesson wrapped up in storytime?]
That's one way to put it. [Definitely crazy things.] I killed one of them. I started digging after-- [He cuts himself off, because finishing that sentence just isn't going to happen.] I went fishing and the catch nearly killed us. Havoc was medically discharged. Paralyzed. I really thought that they'd come after me. [Because, you know, vulnerable in the hospital. Just gonna gloss over that.] Hawkeye was expecting it.
[He drops his hand and shrugs.] They needed me alive but apparently I was too dangerous to just let be. [And now there's a bit of a wolfish grin.] That may have been because I walked into Central Command and accused the fuhrer of being a homunculus. I was right. [This is said with a bit of an air of superiority. He was right damn it.] I probably could have done that a little differently. They kept me there all night and, in the morning, my team was given new assignments. It was implied that if I didn't keep a low profile, my people would pay the price.
[Yay, hostages. He's pausing here, opening the floor for questions. Whaddya gonna throw at him, Truth and/or actually Hughes?]
