Everything and More

Tango works hard. He's pretty used to just running till he crashes, then getting up and doing it again. It's been that way for years. Tragic childhood aside, though, as the head of mechanical development, he's been busier than ever. So when Xisuma brings a note from the over-city to his attention, well...a little text couldn't hurt. Right?Zed is about to go insane. He's a researcher, and while he's grateful beyond words that Cub hired him at the Hot Cave and saved him from getting run out of the city by the biotech institute, if he has to make one more net arrow the exact same way he might just snap. Of course, he's exaggerating. He'll keep facing things with a smile, and Cub always did say he was far to devil-may-care in disposition, but then, if he wasn't, he wouldn't have dropped his phone number down a rift on a whim. And then, he wouldn't have gotten that first text from Tango. Now that would've been a real shame.{In which Tango needs a full eight hours, Zed wants to break an arrow over his knee, Pearl enters protective big sister mode, Joel and Lizzie have terrible advice but fantastic cookies, and it's strange, isn't it? To crush on someone when you don't even know what they look like.}
