People have made do without powers for a long time. [Tim-- craves to once again be underestimated. The preyish instinct to bluster is deep-rooted, though. He's not sure he wants to think about why; rather, he needs to fix it, fix himself.
Straighten himself out.
He quits his fidgeting, the restlessness still there but he can ignore it. Pack it up and shove it aside. He decides, no, Doctor Strange (for the love of ...whatever is deigned holy, do not be a doctor of psychology) doesn't have to worry himself about what Tim can dig up from the organization's network on the 9-to-5. Not when it's his file he'll be keeping a sharp eye out for next.]
Someone I know is convinced we're only here to be fed to the monsters. ADI hasn't done anything but attempt to prove them right.
[Oh.
The doctor is-- new.
He doesn't know about the sealskins, maybe. Tim's frown deepens; it's an old, resigned thing he'll wear on occasion. No big deal.] ADI constantly contradicts themselves, and not everyone has the leverage to command a straight answer like you do.
[--yet. But, as it is.]
There's nothing mutually beneficial about that relationship.
