Bishop went rogue, yet somehow Mr. Nobody keeps dragging her back in. According to her, this is the VERY LAST TIME she'll be involved with the Agency. All she has to do is find Project Aries and befriend Han Lue.
How hard could that be?

Bishop could really go for a drink or a cigarette – something, anything – after what she had to deal with now. She wasn't sure what Mr. Nobody was doing, or even how he was able to get those two things official with the Japanese government. Bishop wasn't sure what to say to anyone if they asked. Her coworkers at the high school already saw she was stressed out more than usual, Kiomi even asked if she was okay. Bishop lied and said that her brother was coming into town.
Bishop wanted to wring Mr. Nobody's neck, make him take back everything he did.
Bishop sat at one of the tables in Han's garage. Tonight was pretty lowkey, not many people came by that night. There were a couple of people talking softly with each other. The students who stayed there were at a race. Han was supposed to be at the race, but with everything going on, he decided to hang back.
Han came out of his attached apartment, finding Bishop by herself. She was playing around with a bottle of beer, not taking a sip of it. Bishop looked lost in her own thoughts. Han had planned on working on one of his cars, but seeing Bishop in her current state was hurting him.
Neither of them wanted this to happen – Mr. Nobody blindsided them.
Bishop had someone from the Agency look into what Mr. Nobody had done, and they were legit. Bishop also had someone getting the paperwork ready for setting Elle up in a different school. In the year that Han was introduced to Bishop, he had never see her look so upset.
Han walked over to the table. "Wanna talk?" Han pulled the chair out from the table, taking a seat across from Bishop. Bishop gently pushed the beer away from her, setting her arms onto the table. Han could see the tears filling her eyes. "Look, if you don't wanna be involved, you won't hurt my feelings. You and I were both thrown into this-"
"It's not about the mission or Elle," Bishop sniffled lightly. "I trust you." Bishop admitted. She had been denying herself the fact she trusted Han. It was weird, she didn't think she'd ever tell Han about this detail of her life – it looked like Nori was right. Not that Bishop thought they'd automatically jumped into a relationship; she didn't even know that Han was falling for her before she came to terms with these feelings.
Han chuckled lightly. "I mean, took you long enough." Bishop let out an airy laugh. "But what's wrong? You're starting to cry." Han pointed out.
Bishop ran her fingers through her hair.
"What happened to you?" Han asked.
Bishop scoffed. "What hasn't happened?" Bishop was incredibly damaged, physically and mentally. Bishop's life was one horrible thing after another from the moment that car accident happened. Bishop knew where to begin, but at the same time, it meant reliving that horrible day. "Can we talk in private?" Bishop asked, not wanting to talk about her past with people around.
