It had been a few weeks since he and Twelve had been hiding from the US government that was hell-bent on hunting them down and silencing them permanently thanks to the airport incident. In the meantime, everything about the Athena plan had indeed gone public, which eased them quite a bit knowing that no matter what their goal had been accomplished.

It’s been a while brother.
