[ Not that Jack's all that happy with what she's been up to lately, but for the six years before the Recall she'd been able to live her own life and maybe even settle down a little. It's worth something. ]
That doesn't mean that I want people knowing my every move.
You didn't have the right to decide that, Jack, because we did need you! We needed to know that you were alive and okay, that we didn't have to bury someone that we looked up to and mourn for a friend who wasn't even in that casket.
[ There is a short pause as she tries to collect herself. This is getting a little hard for her. ]
It's a small price to pay, one that Amari is fine with.
[ If nothing else, at least they're not doing this in person. It's one thing to read the words. It'd be something else to hear Lena's voice cracking. Jack can hold a little stronger this way. ]
If you had known I was still around, you and Winston probably would have tried your little Recall even sooner.
You don't know that. Besides, we had no choice in doing that because Reaper had come along and was attempting to steal all the data! Talon could easily try that again and they're getting bigger again.
[ Which is actually scary to deal with, especially after her run-in with Widowmaker. ]
There's a way to deal with Talon that doesn't involve running around calling yourselves Overwatch, you know.
[ He seems to have been managing that just fine, after all. But invoking that name is going to draw a lot of attention, and eventually that's going to catch up with Lena and Winston both. ]
[ No, why is Lena bringing up Reaper? Because she doesn't know, of course, but Jack remembers very well the way Reaper had riled him up by threatening her. ]
You're better off staying as far away from him as possible. Trust me on this.
[ And what are the chances of that? Pretty much zero. ]
Well, if you're planning to go after him, don't do it alone.
[ He can't assume she'll stay away if Reaper gives her reason to hunt him down, but if he's kept in the loop, he can attempt to do damage control. It's better than nothing. ]

So, why did you reject it?
[ Coming in with the hard-hitting questions now. ]
no subject
I wasn't willing to be under their watch for that long. I was branded a criminal back home too. I know how to deal with it.
no subject
[ You thought too soon, Jack. The topic is stirred completely onto him now. ]
It would be easier for you to come clean because a month isn't a along time and you don't have anything to hide ... do you?

She may be, but I'm not.

You're so stubborn.

I could say the same about you.
no subject
[ TOTALLY NOT THEIR FAULT. Besides, it was the Recall or allow people to live their lives in fear. ]
I guess I learned it from the best.
no subject
[ It's a lecture that's far too late, though, considering that the grand majority of people here have no idea what Overwatch is. ]
Sounds like there are some lessons you should un-learn, then.
no subject
[ you're such a butt, jack. ]
Good luck getting me to do that.
no subject
[ So Lena can totally stop it with all this Overwatch business, right? ]
I know better than to think I can make you do anything, Lena.
[ At one point he'd found her stubborn devotion to the cause commendable. Now it's more like a thorn in his side. ]
no subject
[ No, she's just getting sourer now. ]
Then don't think I'm going to get any less stubborn or change my mind about this.

I might, as long as he doesn't cause any trouble.

[ Not that anyone would blame her. Jack isn't an easy person to be around these days. ]
no subject
The answer is somewhat obvious, but she's curious to hear it from him.
no subject
[ It has nothing to do with Overwatch. Nothing at all!!! ]

Reaper hates Overwatch.
