"I though you were bae. Turns out... you're just fam." [...]

After becoming suspicious about Jean Deaux’s origin, Beth Egami discovered the truth AEGIS was trying to hide: her brand new teammate was a supervillain. Well, the younger form of one, at least. She brought the concern to her superiors, only to find they knew- and expected the team to go along with it. Realistically, Jean knew that they shouldn’t take it personally. Superheroing, of course, was just another form of business.  But out of everyone on 2-Liberi, they’d seen Beth, and her green hair and collection of 'old' video games- (Halo: Combat Evolved, in particular) and they'd seen a reminder of home- and more than that, a friend. 

Perhaps it's still worth pretending, if they have a chance at getting their hands on that damned video game.  

"Backstreet's Back, alrIGHT... badadada."

Blake was intimidating for about five seconds. Then, she asked what flavor dish soap Jean thought was best to get bubblegum out of a Brunello Cucinelli Cashmere, and the effect was completely ruined. But it didn't stop them from deciding that codename 'Feral' would be their first (and very enthusiastic) strategic ally on 2-Liberi.  

What Jean failed to take into consideration was Blake's wholehearted loyalty and increasing level of concern towards her 2016-stranded self. She didn't deal in terms of quid pro quo or expect anything in return for her friendship. And no matter what Jean tried, said, or did to convince her otherwise, it didn't stop Blake from being ride or die. Even if it meant taking the heat for Jean’s antics once in a while. 

"Mug shot? I don't even drink coffee."

Copper's a technical wizard with an ongoing plan to force 2-Liberi into actual communication via duct-taping them together. Jean respects and fears her in equal measure. Initially introduced  as a source of reliable information on the basics of modern tech, she became a source of both interest and concern. Being around someone with such an obvious aptitude for government systems didn't exactly put Jean at ease- until Copper demonstrated how to hack them. Since then, Jean's considered her a respectable ally, and Copper's attempts toward befriending her have been unexpectedly effective. But Jean's still not letting her guard down anytime soon- especially  whenever she's within arm's reach of duct tape . 

"STOP, I could've dropped my croissant."

Sadie's got a terrifying specter form and could be an expert at jump-scares, in Jean's opinion, if she didn't ruin it by apologizing to the chairs she bumped into while she was half-opaque. She occasionally disappears through the walls and the floor, and struggles to stay corporeal when it comes to vehicles either. But she's damned good in a fight, and has proved she's more than capable of carrying on her family's legacy- whether they believe it or not. It's Jean's goal to boost her new friend's confidence- and find a horror movie that actually manages to scare her.   

Lipstick??? In My Valentino White Bag???? 

Don't let the angel wings fool you. Celestial or otherwise, Gabi's still everyone's favorite mean-girl on 2-Liberi. Unless you're Jean- who considers her the perfect intended recipient of any number of ill-advised pranks. She's got fame in excess, more designer clothing than most people would see from runway collection compilations on Pinterest in a lifetime, and attitude to pull off any look she wants. Unfortunately, the more Jean gets to know her, the more difficult it is to keep seeing her as a prissy know-it-all. She's (albeit slightly resentfully) helped outfit the rest of the team, saved everyone's skin on more one occasion, and has gone through just as much pain on her way to 2-Liberi as anyone else. Jean's not going to stop 'borrowing' her Versace though.
