A/N: It's best to view this chapter the 1/2 setting. Without it, it doesn't really capture the blog feel. But, hey, that's totally up to you =P.
I gotta say. I learned a couple of things while being with the crew. Can't say that everything I learned I liked, but hey, it's life lessons.
So, without further ado, here's a list of
Things I've learned being on the Leverage Team:
1) A plan never goes according to plan.
We can have all the resources to have a job go nice and smooth. Does it happen? Heck no. Someone always have to come in the middle and shred our plan to pieces. The deal we made with the sheriff? Yeah, it was almost perfect until Nate and Sophie became part of hostage situation crafted by a father and son bank robbery tag-team. But, in the end, we did help the bank robbers and saved the day. Irony at its best.
2) I can't just be the tech guy.
If not an FBI agent, a lawyer. If not a lawyer, a DJ. If not a DJ, be an FBI agent again. Seriously. Just let me be with my computer and a liter an orange soda. People, that's all I ask. Oh, and a couple of Star Wars booth babes wouldn't hurt.
3) I found my other niche.
I can fight injured people. Well, when the injured people happens to jump a priest, that is. Old ladies and handicaps aren't on my hit list. Just saying.
4) I need more paintings.
I made one of Nate, and only Nate. I think it's only fair to make a couple more to give homage to the others. Parker or Sophie as Susan B. Anthony, hm. Or even better. Eliot as Benjamin Franklin. Hey, admit it. That's tight!
5) I miss the Headquarters.
It had to go. We couldn't leave a trail for Sterling to find. And now, I can't watch Doctor Who on the mega-screen. Thanks…a whole lot, Sterling.
6) You have to be crazy to be a thief.
If not crazy, extremely brave. Which makes me think Parker puts both traits to very good use. She wanted to save those kids, and that's exactly what she did. With a little help from her family, of course.
7) Eliot and Nate need hugs.
They get too uptight, too fast. One would either yell too much, and the other punch too much. You know. All I'm saying is give peace a chance. That's doable, right?
8) We're meant to be together.
You can't deny it. We all were hand-picked by some guy. He double-crossed us by putting us all in one building and attempted to erase us from existence. We come back. Add Sophie to our deck. And dish out the proper hand to win the game against him.
Not to mention, Sterling sabotages the team (with me and Parker taken captive). Nate and Sophie come to the rescue by "thinking" like me and Parker to turn the tables. Sterling tries to obtain what evidence he can from our house. I tell him to get out my house. Blow it up. And we scatter.
Then, we all somehow come back together to try to steal from the very same museum of our last con. Shocking to all of us, I must admit, except Nate. Nate brings us back together. We take revenge on Blackpoole. And, we begin to part ways. But…I don't think we will. There's too much we can do together. It just…doesn't seem right.
Well, that's my list peoples. I hope you learned a bit more about "the" Alec Hardison. But for now, peace out.
