something something about how mirage has learned to be extremely quick on his feet and thinks fast in stressed situations to help himself + his team get out of them. there’s also been probably numerous instances where mirage was the last one standing on his team and probably got away and safely brought back his team

#...... do i know if this makes sense. no #but basically elliotts entire THING has made him super good at making up things on the spot #when hes in a tight spot hes good at getting out of them for him and his team #but also i think elliotts cloak during revive/respawn implies that he does that a lot for his team and as a result #can safely pull it off and bring his team back. bouncing back babey #you cannot unlearn the feeling of a broken man. / headcanons. #i do think that instinctively while he doesnt have the energy for it... elliott probably falls into the leader role without realizing
