#if he Tells ricardo (and chen) then. they get involved. and thats Bad. he doesnt want them to get hurt

[aro-ortega]

it takes ace three days to convince vanya (marta) to go to her friends (ricardo) for help. to finally trust them w the truth

#partially bc she is still very limited in what/how she can communicate w him #and also her precog powers are still weak and this isnt like. imminent danger so its harder to get him to notice/See it #but also. he is so so scared he is not sleeping at All those three days he is paranoid and anxious and #its bc whatever is Him is Dangerous. ace (s precog powers) showed him that. this is. Big. Terrifying #its Really Fucking Bad #if he Tells ricardo (and chen) then. they get involved. and thats Bad. he doesnt want them to get hurt #(he gets mad at chen for having not told ortega that he was still alive. but. he immediately calms down and understands and forgives him #when he realizes that chen is right. Knowing would have gotten ortega killed #he doesnt want ortega or chen to get hurt or worse case killed. so them Knowing is bad) #so it takes three days until she can get him to finally call ricardo and ask for help #(ALSO ALSO always thinking about how pist puppet crash w ortega -> ortega calls and says something like: i really fucked up. #maybe even i reslly fucked up ? anyway. vanya (marta) says i really fucked up i need your help when she finally calls ric) #op #fh #vanya mikhailov #vanya & ace #ace #vanya x ricardo #vanya x chen
