[It's about 4am Jack's time. He's at the UN General Assembly session in New York.

They're several countries and time-zones apart. As per usual.]

Miss you.

[reprehensible]

I'd miss you more if you were sleeping.

What's got you up at this hour?

[dadjoke]

Spent all day trying to stay awake during endless power points on political BS.

Now I can't sleep.

Ain't that the way of it.

Plus. The bed isn't half as comfy without you in it.

[reprehensible]

Not sure why you bother trying to stay awake. They say the same thing twelve times anyway.

That's got nothin to do with the bed.

[dadjoke]

Because someone will take a photo and it'll be in the morning paper.

'Strike Commander Morrison asleep on the job. Wasting tax payer dollars.'

How are you?

What are you doing?

Talk me to sleep.

[reprehensible]

I'm sure they'll make sure to capture your good side while you're snoring.

Waiting for the ninja to check in.

[So, on edge. Tired, and very much awake.]

Thought that was your job, Jackie.

[dadjoke]

I don't think I have a good side anymore. You could parachute with the bags under my eyes.

Fun. Hope you're holed up in one of the good safe-houses.

Aren't you always complaining I keep you awake?

...I'm keeping you awake right now, aren't I?

Shit.

[reprehensible]

I'm pretty fond of the backside, myself.

This one's got coffee, at least. Stale as shit, but it's something.

Nah, I'd have been up anyway. Shimada might have half a mill sunk into those upgrades, but nobody's perfect.

[dadjoke]

How romantic.

True enough. We've got more than that sunk into us, and I still walk into doors when I'm tired.

Not that I've done it recently. Or in front of anyone.

Overwatch has an image to maintain.

Don't worry. Everyone has been very impressed over here. I smiled and nodded a lot.

The backside helps.

Ballpark figure. Kid's got enough tech in him, I think he's managed to beat us by a few zeroes.

Or was that privileged information?

I'm sure it does. Money well spent. ;-)

[dadjoke]

Hey. I brought my ass into the program. They didn't give it to me.

This is homegrown.

My ma has the same ass.

...

She keeps asking why you don't call her more.

I tell her you're busy, but you know ma.

[reprehensible]

And nothing kills the mood faster than you talking about your ma.

So much for that...

[dadjoke]

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Come on now.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Just call her more.

I love you.

[reprehensible]

Time and place, babe.

We were talking about your ass, and you bring up your mother.

[dadjoke]

Sorry, what were we talking about?

I get distracted when you call me babe.

I'm blonde like that.

Right. We were talking about my ass, and how lonely I am without you.

;)

[reprehensible]

Hell of a recovery.

I think I might take more convincing, though.

[dadjoke]

You're a tough crowd Gabriel Reyes.

[How's this for pleading his case?]

I know it's not much, but what else does a simple boy from Indiana have to offer?

Maybe you could give me a few ideas.

[reprehensible]

Hey, I'm pretty easy to please. That's definitely doing the trick.

Better send another just to be sure.

[dadjoke]

[Jack sends another one, and this time it's a frontal shot. Hand down the front of his barely there boxers, so Gabe gets an eyeful of golden blonde treasure-trail and a hint of dick.

Keeping it classy.]

It's too bad you're not here.

This is a really bouncy mattress.

And there's champagne in the fridge.

The expensive stuff.

Nice to know where the taxpayer dollars are really going.
