[There is a lot of static and wonky reception when Cambot first comes on.]

Th--I thin--at---id it.

[The camera finally focuses, catching the edge of a nearby bookshelf; Cambot is sitting in Liz's lap.]

Thank you so much, Gypsy. Are you okay Cambot?

[Cambot starts to hover. He's a little wobbly at first, but he steadies out quickly and turns to look at Liz, visibly relieved and now, well, human again.]

There we go. Hey, I'm really sorry about that. [Slowly, Cambot bobs up and down in an acknowledging nod. Liz smiles and turns to look directly at the camera.]

I owe you guys an apology too. I just...I dunno, Discord just really got under my skin. I really didn't mean anything I said while he was here and...I'm sorry I said them.

[Yeah, that. Harvey takes a seat on the bed, for lack of another place, and pats the spot next to him.]

Ah, c'mon, kid. I told ya not to worry about it.

[punsofiron]

No, really...

[She comes over and sits next to him.] I just want you to know...I'm glad that you've been around to look after us.

[She smiles a little sheepishly] I guess in a way you kind of are like an honorary dad to me. I don't mind it at all.

[For all his counseling of the rest of the team, Harvey's never really been one to open up about himself. Which is probably why he'll never say aloud just how much hearing that from her means to him. When she's done, he smiles warmly and reaches out to pull her into a hug. His voice is quiet when he speaks, expressing more than his words.]

Thanks, Iron.
