"You start as a Diversion." Laura spoke once more. Cable was almost wary of her decision to fully disclose all of this information to them. There was no telling how they would react to it all, but she never was one for subtlety. "Bonny, feeling like she is not enough, decides to stay at the mansion instead of being on the mission team. We can no longer change the landscape. We convince her to go to alleviate the problem. Tatiana cannot resist feeding on people who deserve it. This causes a rift in the team. We give her blood bags to feed on before the mission."

She went on. Every time a problem came up, Cable, Wade, and Laura had to start back at square one and make sure that they were more prepared than the last time. If it wasn't one thing, it was another. She had briefly touched on how they had attempted to use other teams on the mission, but for some reason, only these X-pendables were truly sucessful in getting to the end. 

"If you're all together at the time we... Persuade, big britches, temporal fuckery is less likely to happen. We've seen you all a thousand times, and something goes wrong. This time is going to be the last." Wade shoved himself out of the chair. "We have everything that we could possibly need to prevent any of you from getting killed this time around, and none of you are pretty criers."

The room was silent. Booker, Emma, and Charles were already briefed on the situation, but they were all as wary as Cable when it came to laying all the cards out. 

"Well," Cable wasn't quite sure what to do or say next. "Wade and Laura are right. All of you seem to have much better chances at surviving the mission than any of the other teams." The three of them were essentially in an intentional groundhog day. Everything was so rehearsed, so nearly exact, that even just the small changes in this timeline seemed like a completely different world. Maybe it was due to His, Laura and Wade's actions being different. It was hard to be certain. "As for your future selves, Heidi, I worked under you. You assisted in making time travel a reality." He wasn't going to tell each and every one of them their future, even if they were all still alive when Cable went back in time.

"Let's go. We're wasting time now."

The time trio allowed the team time to gather essentials and gear up before meeting up in the hangar once more. They needed to be in Arizona as soon as possible, and all this loafing around and asking questions was really starting to press on time.
