[Huvrye doesn't know nearly enough about this world's technology - namely, the internet. Sure, he'd gotten a brief explanation, and he'd picked up a bit from usage, but the fact that seeing privacy settings in action had taken him by surprise told him he definitely had more to learn. He can't have deep or dangerous conversations out in the open - not where everyone can see and react accordingly. He needs to know more about how all of this works.]

[He picks an evening when Leo doesn't seem to have much homework to ask. He is not expecting the conversation to span more than an hour and to cover factors he'd never thought of, let alone ask about (and he's fairly certain that "what Leo thinks is important" and "actual security risks" is a venn diagram overlap that is not a circle). Probably a good thing that he's not keeping Leo from his homework with this. He's still trying to wrap his mind around a few things.]

So you can just comment anonymously on some places, and people can't figure out it's you? You're sure it's secure?

Hamato, I found more suspicious news stories about Fantastic.

[He's sending some links along and that's it, that's the whole message. Extremely sociable, this guy.]

[This message is coming towards the end of April, in a group Discord chat Accelerator is starting. He probably could've messaged them individually, but if he's going to force himself to be the least bit sociable (if one can even call it that....) then he's going to do it in the most efficient way possible. He's also going to try and keep things vague, since he doesn't exactly want to blurt out Hey by the way I'm joining the Society and doing shady things for them since I'm a hugely murderous villain to two people who are entirely uninvolved in all of that.

(That's what he's telling himself. It has absolutely nothing to do with trying to put off the inevitable communication cut off that'll come when they do find out. No sir.)]

Yo.

I'm going to be attending school in May. Consider this a head's up.

[He actually isn't sure if Donnie is going to school given the whole registration thing, so that might not be particularly relevant to him. This next part is, though:]

I've also got an address for an electronics recycling facility for tech equipment. It's less 'scavenging' and more 'breaking in and stealing,' but that shit's going to be recycled anyways so I doubt there's a big difference.

[That part might not be directly relevant to Leo, but Accelerator is at least fairly sure that he would want to know if his brother is possibly going to get up to crimes.]

Does your teleportation have a range or any weight limits?

[That has been on his mind, among other things, but he really, really doesn't want to interact with Leo's teleportation vectors to find out (for obvious reasons), so asking is his next best option.]

[While Danny and Leo might not exactly be close, he was still just about the closest thing Danny has to a friend his own age. And as more and more shit starts hitting the fan that's enough to push Danny past any lingering social anxiety and get him to reach out. However hostile things were getting for the majority of Starfallen, it had to be a hell of a lot worse for anyone like Leo who couldn't hide their mutation without the help of the Guilds.]

Hey. Things are getting pretty crazy and it sounded like the quarantine still isn't coming down anytime soon. Just kinda wanted to check-in. How are you holding up?

[It's a few hours after Chaos Gate and Fantastic have disappeared that Accelerator is able to find somewhere halfway quiet and pull out his phone.]

You two better still be alive after all that shit.

[Left on whatever clear spot he's able to find at the time: A map. It's a printout of the city with the apartment circled- a starting point, and ...a QR code with Donnie's trademark symbol in the middle of it. When scanned, it provides an overlay to the map, purple lines blazing along streets from the apartment to a point marked with the familiar insignia inscribed on their belts. It's not an overly complicated venture, as much fun as that might be, but Donnie's just as eager to see Leo get to the goal than he is to watch his brother jump through as many hoops as possible. ...that and there's the chance that Leo might realize when he's just getting yanked around and cheat.

The end destination is an old garage, part of an abandoned auto tune-up joint. The rest is in shambles, but the garage is actually locked up tight. The door however will start to open once Leo comes within a couple feet of it, spotlights turning on to highlight what's parked inside: a motorcycle trimmed in iridescent electric blue. Okay, it's not a lightcycle, its previous life was that of a more standard motorcycle body than a sportsbike but its got some thick wheels that could have been lightcycle worthy, not as big as but reminiscent of those on the Shell Hogs. The real fun is when it's turned on, activating a blaze of neon lighting that streaks along the chassis from head to exhaust, and along the rims of each side of those wheels. It's been set to turn on for the inauguration run, but has a switch to turn them off and on otherwise. Because let's be real, the best time for this baby to shine is at night!

...and because it's Donnie there's of course an owner's manual, but thankfully it's not encyclopedia-sized. It is however still light novel-sized.]

[The next time Leo ~~invades~~ visits the penthouse, there’s a box waiting for him.

Inside the box is a polish and cleaning kit for his sword]

[It's a few days after Christmas, but Accelerator will be delivering a book.

He's forcing a window open and leaving it on the coffee table, along with Donnie's gift. Leo's will be unwrapped, and there will be a simple note attached saying "For Leonardo."]
