"-but I'm sure it'll all be fine." Alec finished, glancing up briefly from the road, catching Kevin's overly wide eyes in the rearview mirror, flashing a reassuring smile before turning his focus back to the road.

Kevin blinked rapidly, swallowing, turning from the rearview mirror over to Simon setting beside him, gesturing vaguely.

"Um...s-so...w-um...so he's-"

"CIA."

He gulped, nodding, gesturing towards Raphael.

"A-and s-"

"NSA..."

He nodded again, blinking, looking him over, head tilting curiously.

"A-and that makes you-?"

Simon huffed, head shaking.

"Completely screwed."

Raphael snorted, nodding. Simon glared, leaning forward a bit, brow quirking irritatedly.

"Not helping."

Raphael glanced over, catching the expression, teasingly smirking, placatingly holding up a hand.

"Hey I'm just agreeing with you."

"Yeah, thanks a lot Smirky."

He gave one of those irritatingly appealing soft little chuckles and a teasingly flirty little wink.

"What I'm here for."

Alec scoffed.

"I thought that was to make my life a living hell."

Raphael chuckled, shrugging.

"Just part of my job...I really love my job."

Alec huffed, glaring over at him in the passenger seat.

"It's really not."

"Sure it is Boyscout."

"Don't call me that!"

"Again no can do. In fact since we have to go into HQ anyways I can give Luke an in person update on the codename a-"

"Don't y-"

Kevin blinked, looking again over at Simon in confusion, leaning closer, head tilting towards the squabbling agents in the front seat.

"They always like this?"

Simon groaned lightly, helplessly shrugging.

"I-dude I don't know. I've been dealing with this for like a grand total of 36 hours- I'm nearly as in the dark about it as you." He paused, head tilting, giving a condescending nod.

"Though going by what I know so far? Yeah- like constantly. Feel like I'm back in high school babysitting the Walker twins, only because of some weird, totally irritating twist of fate the squabbling little monsters are somehow my first line of defense against a crazy ass cabal of evil counter agents out to kill me or worse- because apparently there IS in fact a worse then just dying in this case so...yeah...

I-I said it was complicated, right?"

Kevin huffed out a faintly disbelieving laugh, head shaking.

"Yeah but...uh...don't really think 'complicated' quite covers it. More like bat crap crazy fever dream come to life insane."

He snorted, nodding quickly, animatedly waving.

"Oh dude- you don't even know the half of it..." He swallowed, glancing over, shifting uncomfortably, feeling a little twist in his stomach, looking up, catching his eye.
