the bisexuality spectrum: leverage edition
parker: is bisexual as in she doesn’t really care about things like gender
eliot: can appreciate the differences between the genders because they are all hot in their own ways
hardison: similar to eliot as in he thinks the different genders all have their own attractiveness's
sophie: men can be distinguished but women are Hot. everyone is equal opportunity to seduce in a con
nate: attracted to men, women, etc but specifically tends to find himself in homoerotic nemeses
harry: was in a straight relationship for so long he forgot just how hot men could be until he joined the leverage team (eliot was his bisexual reawakening)

Headcanons: Flirting (Eliot Spencer)
Headcanons: How does he flirt, does he like being flirted with, etc.
Pairing: Eliot Spencer x Gn!Reader
Requested By: Anonymous
Warnings: Nothing really
Tumblr media

Eliot Spencer is a shameless flirter (is that a word? idk lol)
He is not afraid to flirt with you in front of other people, but he doesn't always do it. Just when he can't help it.
And it always gets called out by Hardison if he over-hears.
He is not the type to use pick-up lines, but he does compliment you in flirty ways.
If you are wearing a new perfume, he will notice immediately.
"It suits you, you should wear it more often."
"That color brings out your eyes."
They come off as kind compliments, unless you know him. It is him flirting with you, because he likes how flustered or blushy you get when he compliments you.
He will fix your hair, shirt collar/outfits, or wordlessly adjust your crooked or backwards necklace, just to be close to you. It's his way to flirt in an almost intimate and personal way.
Eliot will let his fingers brush against your skin, or if your shoulders or arms brush he will delay in pulling away.
EYE CONTACT
He is a sucker for eye contact.
If you catch him staring at you or watching you, he will not look away. He will keep is eyes locked with yours and smile softly.
You will almost always be the one to look away first, which only makes him smirk proudly for flustering you.
I know I said he doesn't use pick-up lines, BUT if you are ever on a con and he has to approach you, he will use the worst best pick-up lines, just to throw you off.
Sophie warns him not too, afraid you might break character, but he can't help it.
"I don’t believe in God sweetheart, but if I did, you’d be the answer to all my prayers."
"Have we met before?" "No, I don't think so." "Must have been in my dreams then."
"If Angels don't walk among us, then I don't know how you exist."
Also flirts by teasing you.
If you are wearing a new style for a con, or using a new accent, he will tease you, and when you get pouty or annoyed he will chuckle and console you "It's okay, it's cute."
The flirting does not stop when you two are in a relationship it only get's more obvious.
But he also uses more flirting techniques like bringing you candy/deserts, coffee/tea, flowers, whispering things in your ear to catch you by surprise or fluster you.
He's also not afraid of using suggestive comments here and there, that makes you choke on your water. (He waits until you take a drink on purpose, he's a menace)
Even though Eliot is very confident, charming and flirtatious, if you flirt with him??
eliot.exe has stopped working
He is so caught off guard that he just kind of stutters, unable to think of what to say.
He's the one who is supposed to make you blush and get all flustered, what is happening???
Hardison and Breanna think it's hilarious when this happens, and they tease Eliot about how he is no longer big bad confident Eliot Spencer.
This is always followed by an annoyed and flustered "Shut up Hardison!"

🥞 regressor eliot spencer headcanons
→ a very quite regressor, it’s one of his biggest tells for when he’s feeling small. talking starts to feel like way too much of an effort and he resorts to mostly just nodding or shaking his head to whatever people are saying. It’s given him away to the others way too often
→ he absolutely loves movies when he’s regressed, someone could post anything on the tv and he’d end up watching it mindlessly, if it doesn’t send him to sleep it is. (the others have worked out to just stick a movie on if he is refusing to sleep, and take bets on how far through the movie he’ll get)
→ eliot doesn’t like complex foods whenever he gets like that. big him absolutely loves combing flavour combinations and textures; small him would compare that to being tortured overseas. nuggets, and fruit are very popular items in his house.
→ almost entirely an involuntary regressor, it usually hits him when he’s suffering from a horrible adrenaline crash after he’s pushed it off too long, or simply just from being overwhelmed. occasionally it’s because he’s gotten relaxed enough around the team, although he’d never admit it.
→ chews the hell out of whatever is around him, usually hoodie sleeves, his fingers and pens; although he would violently deny it till his dying day. they eventually invest in chewlery, and it is a much favoured item of his.
→ detests being cold to a significant extent. he can whine about being cold for absolutely ages, there’s a reason he has so many blankets spread around his own, and piled onto his own bed. his hatred of the cold ramps up even more when regressed, and he usually finds himself covered in multiple layers even when it isn’t actually that cold.

every once in a while, when it's a quiet moment between him and one of his partners—could be anything from a stake out to a long drive in lucille to the warm moments between making love and sleep—eliot will turn to them and say, tell me something i don't know.
parker will usually tell him secrets. the bits of history that only exist between her, bunny, and now eliot. there's a lot from living on the streets, when she was young. she tells him about training with archie; eventually, she tells him what it felt like. she tells him about loneliness and not understanding and frustration and how her hands hurt when she wants to flicker them around; when he asks her why she doesn't let them, she says to ask another night. that's too big a secret to share when another's been revealed already. he does ask, and she does answer. once, she says in a shaking voice, i love you and hardison so much, and parker feels silly because duh eliot knows that, hardison knows that, but eliot heard something deeper than she could express, so he held her tight and kissed her hair as she shivered through the weight of her confession. after sharing with eliot, sometimes parker feels comfortable enough to share with hardison, peggy, sophie, or a client who needs to know they are not alone in the mess and hardship of the world. much later, the fact that parker has shared something once makes it easier to tell her shrink as she gets on SSRIs, which she seeks out after confessing to eliot that even if it had been based on a lie to grift hurley, maybe there was something to her treatment at the second act rehabilitation center that she missed. occasionally, she'll tell him about art. he listens just as patiently as anything else she decides to divulge and she loves him all the more for it.
hardison infodumps. parker didn't press eliot for what he meant the first time he asked; hardison did. eliot had shrugged, anything you wanna share. hardison nips out a testy, so if i go off about (he paused thinking of something that would surely turn eliot off) optimal simcity street design strategies, you wouldn't mind? eliot didn't back down, even when hardison went into a two-hour spiral that branched into different iterations on the concept, including rollercoaster typhoon. eliot made a few comments here and there, asked some clarifying questions now and again, but otherwise let hardison rail on. the next time, the question was framed as what you working on? but the effect was the same. eventually, hardison stopped hesitating and started looking forward to these monologue sessions. hardison doesn't think anything of them other than he's got some quality time with his partner, until one day on a job with some leverage international trainees, eliot manages (elle woods style) to untangle the lie at the heart of a condo scam with a few pointed questions about the plumbing. when one of the trainees asked how the hell he knew that, hardison expects to hear over the comms how eliot once dated a plumber or an architect; instead, eliot scoffs, you met my partner. genius knows a little of everything. which is when hardison remembers once infodumping about sprinkler systems. eliot gets the tightest of hugs when he gets home for truly listening to hardison.

re: "All I’m saying is the fact that someone isn’t talking to me about Eliot Spencer every second of every day is very unfair and borderline illegal." & tags - if you want to, can you elaborate on your werewolf!eliot ideas?? i’d like to hear about it!! if not all good tho :)
Oh boy oh boy oh boy! Yes I would love to elaborate! (buckle up because i have Thoughts)
(wow this really got away from me so uhhh .... warning for 2k of ranting about Eliot as a werewolf?? list of headcanons under the cut)
From the moment I first met Eliot Spencer, I knew he was werewolf-coded. Aside from his insanely fantastic fighting abilities and the absurd amount of punishment he can take, there are many other factors that contribute to his werewolf status.
Eliot needs a pack Our boy is out here working on his own for years and look at all the good it did him! None! He carries severe trauma from his family life because he blames himself for how it all went down and doesn't think he'll be welcomed back. Plus something probably happened during his military days or early PMC days to put him off working with others. Could have been the pain of losing people all the time, could have been something more. Either way, Eliot working on his own is a defence mechanism - but a self-destructive one.
Wolves thrive in packs - like duh, they're pack animals. As my username suggests, I'm into werewolves and, by extension, wolves. I've done research for my own werewolf novels in the past, so I know that in an average wolf pack, each pack member will have physical contact with the other pack members on the regular. Like, several times an hour! (gosh if I can find the research paper this info came from I'll link it but honestly it's been years) That's a serious level of physical contact required to keep the emotional bonds of the pack healthy!
Flick back to Eliot. He loves to fight, he loves the violence and the pain, yes. He hates the killing and the blood on his hands. He actually tries to leave the assassin world behind after he meets Toby (which is before he meets Moreau, as per early dialogue in The French Connection Job). He bonds quickly with Toby. Show Eliot a little love and care and he's yours for life! He moves onto retrieval work, then somehow ends up working for Moreau.
Now, when we see Eliot and Moreau in The Big Bang Job, Moreau says, "You work alone." Which means that Eliot had that reputation when he came to Moreau. He probably only took contracts to start off with. But he accepted job after job from Moreau and was so good that he was highly respect and it's inferred he ended up as Moreau's top bodyguard/assassin. Why the hell would Eliot end up that close to a man who brings out all the worst in him? Because Eliot's a werewolf and no matter how toxic, Moreau fulfills the need for a pack bond that he's been missing all this time.
Fast forward to Eliot meeting the rest of the Leverage team. One job only - my ass. He saves Hardison's life after Hardison brought a gun to their little meeting - and we all know how Eliot feels about guns.
Wolves are designed to live and operate in packs. Eliot says it's one job only but is bonding with them all from the get-go. Werewolf trait confirmed.
Eliot needs physical touch Now, I know what you're thinking. Eliot canonically avoids physical contact with the team. He refuses hugs, especially from Hardison, growls at Parker poking his bruises (don't get me started on the growls), and shoves people (ahem Parker) out of his personal space. So why would he do all this if he needs physical touch??
Because he's one gigantic ball of angst and self-loathing and guilt.
Eliot doesn't think he deserves forgiveness or love or family, etc. That is a whole other rant, but he denies himself the physical contact he needs with others as a way of punishing himself.
However, as the series progresses, we see him become more comfortable with physical contact! He hugs Hardison several times, he doesn't move away from Parker, etc. Why? Because he's bonded with this team (ahem pack) and there's only so much he can suppress his instincts. The more time he spends with them, the more naturally the contact flows.
Eliot needs to protect others Whenever we get a scene of the team walking as a group, where is Eliot positioned 90% of the time?? That's right, at the back of the group. He lets the others walk in pairs and falls back to bring up the rear. He's keeping them all in his line of sight and constantly scanning for threats ahead, along with protecting the team from any rear attacks. It makes sense for him to do this given his military background, but it also makes sense for a werewolf to do this.
He's the only werewolf in the team. His instincts revolve around keeping the pack safe and protected, so he does that in the best way he knows how.
Not to mention how feral gets over kids!!
Wolf life is all about the pack and the family structure. Pups are integral to the pack's survival and future. Eliot doesn't have kids of his own. But that doesn't stop his instincts from blaring every time he interacts with a kid, be it on the con or off. He takes time out every time to help that kid in an attempt to calm the raging storm of instincts inside his body.
Eliot needs to feed others It's another werewolf instinct that rears its head when they're in the safety of their headquarters (ahem den). Protecting the team/pack from physical threats is just one aspect of taking care of them. Feeding them is the other major one.
None of these idiots can cook to save their lives - except Nate, but he's also drowning his liver 90% of the time, so Eliot has to compensate for that, too. The team can't operate at full capacity if they're not consuming good nutrition. So Eliot makes sure to feed them.
His humanity recognises that these are independent people - coworkers - and he can't control every meal of every day. But he can cook for them, once a week or once a job, which is just enough to satisfy his instincts that he's doing his part to care for them. Plus they love his cooking, and the praise he gets from it is an unexpected but pleasant bonus.
Eliot and team sports/kitchens This ties in with my first point about Eliot needing a pack, but all the times we see Eliot go super hard and get absorbed in the role he's playing are when he's on a team sport or he's in the kitchen. Both of these fulfill super important instincts for him - being in a team/pack and providing food for others.
Think about The Tap-Out Job. Eliot's playing a fighter but he's not pretending to be on a team. He doesn't get over-invested in the role. But what about when he's a baseball player? A hockey player? He falls into those roles hard because he's working with another team again, and this little werewolf is built for that environment. Same in The French Connection: the kitchen becomes his den, the students are his pack mates, and he goes hard at investing in them and protecting them. Never mind the personal aspect of Toby.
Same for episodes like The Fairy Godparents Job when we get a scene of Eliot teaching a bunch of girls self-defence. Team setting + protecting kids = happy werewolf instincts.
So, werewolf headcanons? I have a lot of different origin theories but the main one I like for Eliot is:
he became a werewolf either for a covert military op, or was bitten by Moreau (choose your own angst flavour)
if it was for the military, they were trying to engineer supersoldiers and he was deemed a failure; he has werewolf instincts all the time but only has enhanced strength, healing, etc on full moons
if it was bitten by Moreau, there's a psychic-style bond linking them, which is why he was so loyal to Moreau for so long, and also why he is so reluctant to go after Moreau
(wow this is too different theories already and i said this was my 'main one' whoops)
Eliot can only shift easily on the full moon; shifting outside of a full moon can only be caused by extreme stress and is ridiculously painful
he suffers an insanely high prey drive all the time and is so strict about his control because he doesn't actually wanna rip out the throat of Random Guard #3
he used to chain himself up for full moons so he didn't hurt anyone, but since the team found out about him, Hardison and Parker have taken it upon themselves to 'puppy-sit' him every full moon
this involves no chains but an obscene amount of dog chew toys. Eliot is never impressed. He also never chases or chews the toys. The video evidence Hardison has was obviously doctored.
Hardison and Parker found out the truth when a con went sideways and Eliot was trapped in a room with them during the full moon
he was terrified he was going to kill them - or worse, bite them - but his instincts recognised them as pack so instead he just tried to wrestle with them all night
Hardison had a major freak out when he discovered Eliot was a werewolf - it's one thing to be obsessed with sci-fi/fantasy, it's another thing entirely to see your best friend transform before your eyes
Parker was not even remotely phased, being all like, "pfft of course werewolves are real, I thought you knew that Hardison, you talk about your elves and orcs all the time!"
"Woman that is completely different and you know it!"
"What else do you think is fake? The tooth fairy?? Ha!"
Eliot is Done With Their Shenanigans
Parker only ever refers to Eliot as Sparky when he's in his wolf form
Sophie didn't actually know about werewolves before the reveal but she pretends that she did
Nate knew about werewolves before Eliot, he just chooses to pretend that they're Not A Thing
werewolves generally don't make good hitters, because the constant exposure to violence ramps up their hunting instincts aka they find it hard not to kill
of course, this doesn't matter if you're someone like Moreau who specifically wants killing machines and thus turns his top hitters into werewolves, to ensure loyalty and enhance his strength
the only other werewolf hitter not under Moreau's control that Eliot knows is Quinn, who most certainly did not pull his werewolf strength punches when they tousled in The First David Job
Quinn doesn't have a pack (werewolf or otherwise) and genuinely doesn't seem phased by this, which pisses off Eliot to no end
however, after they work together in The Last Dam Job, Quinn deems himself Eliot's Best Werewolf Bud and keeps popping up randomly to hang out on full moons, etc
Parker and Hardison are a bit weirded out (and a little jealous) of Quinn's attention initially, but soon get over that when they discover that two werewolves on a full moon absolutely play for hours like 6 month old puppies - especially with the tug rope
Eliot is Extremely Susceptible to belly rubs even in his human form, which is half the reason he pushes people out of his personal space a lot - his reputation would never survive anyone finding out
of course the entire team figures it out and take to ambushing him with belly rubs whenever he's being stubborn or annoying
belly rubs are also the only way he will relax enough when he's injured so they can treat his wounds
despite the incessant dog jokes, the ever-growing pile of dog toys, and the bowls labelled with "Sparky" and cartoon bone symbols ... Eliot absolutely adores the pack he's found himself in and wouldn't change them for the world
One of these days I will sit down and write a thousand fics for werewolf!Eliot! Till then, I'll just keep churning out the headcanons ;)

I wanted to talk about The Broken Wing Job and a thing I noticed about Parker.
I think we all know that Parker is definitely Autistic-coded, though to exactly what extent that was directly intentional depends largely on who you ask.
What I noticed is Parker's initial hostility toward Amy. She gets upset because Amy is trying to be friendly towards her in a way Parker interprets as insincere.
I think a lot of Autistic people can relate to the experience of being suspicious towards people who act friendly, especially if it might be insincere, because social interaction can be filled with invisible landmines. This can result in people who do the opposite of masking. Basically, seeing conversation/ friendly overtures as a type of conflict and refusing to play the game. Rather than try to figure out the rules for optimal conversation (and risk getting them wrong and being ostracized), they just skip to choosing to make things as uncomfortable for the other person to avoid trying and failing.
I think we see Parker do this a lot throughout the series. I mean, her first instinct when she feels social conflict while grifting is literally to start stabbing. She never masks to make the team more comfortable, even when she learns how to play the game to grift.
So, when it comes to The Broken Wing Job, Parker acts as weirdly as possible. See: "Best meal I ever had was in French prison." I see this as her trying to communicate 'I am not like you' in an attempt to get Amy to acknowledge the communication barrier and leave her alone.
HOWEVER, as the episode goes along, Amy not only accepts all the strange Parker gives off, but shows Parker some of her own strangeness back. (See: all of the people watching).
Amy met Parker on her level and communicated in a way Parker understood.
This is really important because even her teammates sometimes fail to do this. They don't always 'get' Parker, and because of this they can sometimes dismiss her. I think Eliot and Sophie are the worst about this.
Sophie gets Parker sometimes, but as a grifter she relies on the rules of neurotypical interaction, and can sometimes get frustrated with Parker, or try to get her to do it the "normal" way.
Eliot out of all of them is the most stereotypical man out of all of them, and as such he has a strong tendency to enforce this worldview. He does this to Hardison, at least originally, when he sincerely does not value computer skills because he deems them "geeky/ nerdy". Similarly, he is the one who most frequently chides Parker to get her to be less weird. That said, he tends to speak straight forwardly, say what he means, and honor his word. So out of all of them, he may be the one she understands the best.
Anyway, that's all.

My headcanon:
Hardison and Parker are the only two that are allowed in Eliot's personal space unannounced.
He has to see Breanna and Harry coming- because if he doesn't- on instinct he might hurt them.
Sophie and Nate can be in his personal space- on a good day.
But Hardison and Parker?
They're allowed.
Parker can throw things at Eli any time she wants to. She can run her hands through his hair and steal his sweatshirts, shirts, and even flannels. Sometimes- Eli and Hardison catch her wearing his beanies. And she's always welcomed in his home. Day or night and he's never surprised seeing her there. (Sometimes when Eli brings a girl over- and he walks into his apartment and she's on his couch- he kicks the girl out.) Parker is more important than a one night stand. In the morning- Eliot has her favorites on the bar waiting for her. Eliot kisses' Parker's forehead or temple sometimes.
(Hardison isn't jealous of their friendship. Eliot is the only person he truly trusts with Parker.)
Hardison is one of two people who can take food off Eli's plate or fridge. (Parker is the second one. Duh!) He's also the only one that Eliot can sit and listen talk geek speak- if anybody else does it, Eli growls at them to shut up. He is also allowed in Eliot's apartment unannounced. Usually he comes with a movie and they have a guy's night. (Eventually Parker shows up and they end up snuggled on his couch.)

Headcanons: Taking care of each other when you are hurt (Eliot Spencer)
Headcanon Prompts: Taking care of them when they are hurt + Them taking care of you when you are hurt.
Requested By: @spuffyfan394
Pairing: Eliot Spencer x Gn!Reader
Warnings: Mentions of injuries/wounds, blood, pain, stitches, etc.
Tumblr media
-
Taking care of him:
Eliot gets hurt a lot, like A LOT.
Pretty much on every con he's a part of.
So he is used to having to take care of his own injures.
When you joined the crew, before and after the two of you began dating, you would insist on helping him when he was hurt.
He wasn't used to someone trying so hard to help him, and wanting to, that it made him feel vulnerable in a way.
At first (before you were in a relationship) you just tried to be helpful. Bringing him bandages, cleaning solutions, bringing him stuff when he was having difficulty walking or getting places.
You never treat him like a child, or like he can't handle the pain. Which he appreciates, because he is not one to be coddled.
That being said, he does love when you are gentle with him, because you do not want to add to his pain.
Once you were in a relationship, and more comfortable physically, that is when you started to be more proactive in helping him when he was hurt.
You would change the bandages that were more difficult for him to reach. You'd help him clean off an blood after an injury. You'd tie back his hair if he was too hurt to mess with it.
You would give him massages when he was sore, had pulled muscles, or was suffering from his chronic pain from past injuries.
Sometimes you insist on running him a hot bath to soak in after a rough job.
He enjoys these baths, even if you make it a bubble bath, though he insists you never tell Hardison he enjoys a nice hot bath. (Because we all know Hardison would have a field day with this and probably by him rubber ducks just to piss him off)
You learned how to take care of serious wounds after you joined the team, including doing stitches. For those jobs when things go very wrong.
The first time you had to help Eliot with a knife wound, he watched you stare intensely at the wound stitching it up.
You were delicate enough not to add any needless pain, but you were thorough. He was impressed, and touched at your need to help him.
Later he asked you how you learned to do stitches, and you told him you learned from an old "acquaintance" who owed you a favor.
When he asked why you learned, you told him you learned for moments like this.
You learned in case he ever needed you.
This only made Eliot love you all the more.
Taking care of you:
Fortunately, you do not get hurt nearly as often as Eliot does.
But when you do get hurt, Eliot becomes protective and your own personal nurse.
He also always feels guilty when you get hurt, as he thinks he should have protected you - even in situations no one could have stopped.
You learned fairly early on that words only ease his guilt somewhat.
What helps him more, is you allowing him to help you.
Bandaging you up when needed, giving you proper medications or treatments. Just letting him help you recover.
He can over react a little, not really letting you do much.
Making you too much food to make you feel better, watching your every move to make sure you don't strain yourself.
And if the tam tries to get you back in a con too early? Uh-uh, he wont let that slide.
Eliot also tries is best to distract you from any pain you might be in. He will tell you a story, or jokes to make you laugh or smile.
He is surprisingly gentle with his care, as he never wants to be the one to cause you pain.
Eliot will softly kiss your bandages, and kiss your forehead/temple, and hands, if you are hurting.
He also draws you hot baths, using your favorite oils, salts or bath bombs. He will even light a couple candles for you.
And he always asks if you want him to join you; mostly as a joke, but also not really.
If you are seriously hurt, he will sit outside the bath with you, helping you, gently cleaning your arms and hair, something you have done for him a dozen times before.
Also, just putting this in here - anyone who hurt you, will definitely live to regret it.

Headcanon: Hardison, Eliot and Parker's lock, key and guitar pick necklaces have a built-in GPS tracker in them in case something happens and one of them goes missing.
Maybe Hardison and Parker got their necklaces (and put a tracker on Eliot's) after a job went wrong and Hardison and Parker got kidnapped. Maybe Eliot almost wasn't able to find them on time because the earbuds were broken so he decided they needed a backup option for tracking them. Hardison made sure to set it up so it would be easy for Parker and Eliot to pull up the tracker on their phones.
It's not 100% foolproof but it's better than nothing and it's saved their lives a few times.

if dubenich never brought the crew together, they would meet again at the boston museum of art when the dagger of aqu'abi is on display again. they are like, fuck yeah, take two at stealing that stupid thing. sophie at least knows the context because nate (who w/o leverage fell even deeper into addiction and only got out of his alcoholism on a whim when he reached out to sophie and things got rolling and they are together) told her. sophie and nate are flirting so they engage in pvp and plan against each other.
they basically run into rashomon 2.0, until they all collide which immediately expands the pvp to all five of them. over the course of the night, though, they really put together how much of an asshole the daggers current owner, nigel hayton, is. events snowball and they team up to take the oil baron down. and then they? keep in touch? and leverage again.

[ID: Rough sketch of Eliot Spencer leaning on a bathroom counter in front of a mirror with his left hand, the right bent at the elbow before him. He has a bandage on his left thigh and an open bullet exit wound in his right shoulder, and is hunched forward slightly. His back has a few lightly visible scars that were absent in the Tapout Job. Beyond the door to the bathroom, Parker is leaning on the doorway looking in with a hand in her pocket, and a little distance behind her, Hardison is watching with his arms folded. End ID]
-
Probably the last sketch for a while and duly unfinished because otherwise I'll just abandon and forget about it, but it throws some headcanons into the mix:
Eliot gathers more scars and serious injuries as part of Leverage than back when he killed people because a lot of the time he's fighting people who are trying to kill him, but necessarily not using lethal force or killing blows, so he's always holding back and fighting against his training to some extent. He also fights harder because it's not his life that's at risk anymore, but those of his friends. Hence new scars on his back here that weren't in The Tapout Job.
After The Rundown Job, Eliot goes to deal with his injuries on his own, but Parker and Hardison are having none of it because how exactly is he meant to clean and stitch the exit wound on his back? After allowing him an hour to deal with it alone, they break into his hotel room to 'offer' their help. Eliot hasn't dealt with it yet because (i) too much blood loss/pain and he can't and/or (ii) caught up in thoughts of past similar operations that he's been in that maybe didn't go well and fears of what would have happened to Hardison and Parker if they'd messed up today, and all the reasons he doesn't want them involved in things his old life entailed.
Parker wants to know whether she could see all the way through Eliot via the bullet wound through his shoulder.

The team playing the soundtrack to the Oklahoma! musical just to watch Eliot's reaction.
