[Late in the evening, after the seminar has concluded and after a kiss and an I Love You, and a very firm you have 6 hours, no more from Hermann, Newt shows up at the location where he agreed to meet Miles, a bag in hand with tequila, some ice cream (because Newt wanted it, okay), and a pretty shitty American movie dubbed into Spanish. He might be bad at this, but he could at least fake a cover story.]
[ Miles is there in his usual brown hoodie and jeans, looking worried and a bit damp but otherwise fine. (He keeps having to teleport out of these damn seminars, it's really annoying with his range cut down to barely anything.) ]
Oh, wonderful. As always. They love administering electric shocks to my braces.
[He puts the bag down and looks Miles over, just to see if there's any visible other signs of torture, because he doesn't expect Miles to tell him everything.]
Shit. [Miles is enduring all of that? Newt wouldn't have survived long without breaking under pressure.] And Gregor just LEFT you to that? What the fuck is he thinking??
[His whisper is still pretty intense, but it IS a whisper.]
I KNOW that. Or I figured. But that doesn't change the fact that you're enduring shocks-- Why the hell are you staying if he's the only one going--? [The gesture is supposed to mean undercover. It's really just filler so he doesn't say the word.]
So why are you still here?? Why are you putting up with this? Is this some sort of crappy passive-aggressive way to get back at him for not taking you along, because that's not good--it's not good, Miles, you need to get out of here.
God, fuck, man. You're worse than me-- Why do YOU have to resist if HE'S in there? Why not just run to Mexico? What is this achie- He's not torturing you, is he?
Then what does it achieve to have you go through this? Why is this a part of your plan when he's embedding himself? How does having a resister for a friend help him? This isn't-- I ...I don't understand why you're putting yourself through this.
Okay... [OH, so that's why you're staying. Greg will get the info, and Miles will act with it. Good. Yes. He likes this plan. Newt grins.] Sure. What's the target?
Okay. Count us in. Us, I think I can speak for Hermann. His other power lets him manipulate objects--their construction, I guess--or remove them entirely in the same way he sent me here. That's another weapon in your arsenal.
How's Gregor getting you the information, though? If you're so actively resisting, it's not like he can pass you notes in seminar class.

Keep it down. [ He hisses the words. ] No, he did not leave me. He's spying, not defecting.

Alright, yeah. You're in it together, even if you're not in it together. I left because of Hermann, so I get it. Sort of.
What can I do to help you, then, since you're staying?
