Alcide is quick to agree with the research and development idea with a nod. He would have sworn it would have been in medical before they'd come up empty handed there. Well, not completely empty handed, but having found nothing pertaining to their cause. Now, he can't for the life of him figure out how else they might have suppressed these intricate and essential things inside of them and it not be medical. Where else, what other department, could they have altered them on such an intimate level?
"Two stubborn as fuck peas in a pod, huh?" He adds jokingly, even though he knows that he's not far from the truth. He and Zee won't quit, no matter how dangerous it gets.
For Alcide's part, he's even almost trying to get the Computer's attention, daring it to bring him in closer for just one minute so he can see what they're dealing with. He's on a razors edge playing with fire and he knows it. Right now he just doesn't care because if the Computer's game is to pit them all against each other, Alcide isn't distracted by that. He's thinking clearly and he knows who the real enemy is. He thinks Zee is right there with him, not cowering and waiting, but ready to spring into action all day every day, just like he is.
They slip into HQ and Alcide still leans in and down to listen even though they're the only ones and it's supposedly safe to talk in here. There's a way out, she says, and Alcide feels another spike of hope. Can they get everyone out of here? Zee, Gracie, Derek, Buffy, Prim? Would everyone go back to their homes somehow or not? What if there's only one world for them all to go to? There are so many questions and not enough answers.
When she mentions his going back with her, a corner of his lips pulls up and he nods. His wolf can be pretty lethal when provoked. So can Alcide himself although he doesn't like it so much as the wolf does. It touches his heart in such a strange way, knowing that Zee would take him home with her if she could. Because no, he can't go back to his world. "You don't think I'd cramp your style, then I'm there." He pauses. "Zee this is amazing. We're close, I can feel it. We just have to figure out, if not medical then where? Then the... underground tunnel."
