The One Where They Steal an Arsonist
When Eliot Spencer discovers his friend Mick Rory is being cruelly mistreated by the Legends team while struggling with grief and mental health issues, the Leverage crew hatches an elaborate plan to rescue him. But with an alien invasion underway and superheroes to outsmart, this heist might be their most dangerous yet. Can you help them save Mick before it's too late?The bell above the door jingles as I step into the bar, scanning the room until I spot Hardison at our usual table and Parker testing a new harness setup on the wall. My jaw tightens with resolve as I approach them.
"We got a problem," I say without preamble.
Hardison looks up from his laptop, grinning. "Let me guess, it's one of your exes?"
"Worse," I growl. "It's a friend." I pause, choosing my words carefully. "He's having a mental health crisis while stuck with a crew that's been making his life a living hell. Mocking him. Dismissing him. And he's just lost someone... someone important."
Parker drops down from the wall, her expression serious now. "Who is he?"
"Mick Rory," I say. "Heatwave. From the Legends."
Hardison's eyebrows shoot up. "The arsonist supervillain?"
"He's more than that," I snap, surprising even myself with the intensity. "And he's in trouble. I've been texting him, and... he's not doing well. Attempted suicide by cop at least three times that I know of."
Silence falls over our table. Then Parker nods sharply. "We're gonna help him."
"Damn right we are," Hardison agrees, already typing furiously on his laptop. "So what's the plan?"
"We're gonna steal an arsonist," I say with a grim smile. "But first, we gotta deal with his team of so-called 'heroes' and an alien invasion that just showed up."
Hardison blinks. "Alien invasion? When did that happen?"
"While I was on my way here," I sigh. "Complications never end, do they?"
Parker grins兴奋地. "This might be my favorite heist ever."
I glance at the clock, knowing time is running out for Mick. "We leave for Central City in an hour. Let's get to work."

Your carefully constructed life as Elizabeth Burke, FBI wife and event planner, is about to collide with the dangerous family secret you've hidden for years. When your estranged brother Nathan Ford reappears after your father's death, you're drawn back into the criminal world you escaped—the very world your husband Peter hunts.

The past won't stay buried, and the Ford family legacy of crime, loyalty, and complicated love is about to change everything.
Taste of Freedom
After escaping a life of violence, Eliot Spencer finds solace in the rhythmic precision of cooking. But his carefully constructed world of routine and empty spaces is shattered when a tiny blonde thief breaks into his apartment—only to declare she's 'stealing his home' rather than his valuables. As Parker infiltrates his life with stolen artwork, lava lamps, and an unsettling ability to see through his defenses, Eliot must decide whether to push her away or embrace the chaotic, fragile connection forming between them. A story of healing, found family, and the unexpected ingredients that make a home.
the answer to an unspoken question
In the silence between heists and the chaos of cons, a language older than words has been growing between you. You've always shown your care through the precision of a perfectly cooked meal, the warmth of a shared plate, the vulnerability of letting others taste something you created with your own hands. Now Hardison and Parker are answering in kind - with messy kitchens, burned cakes, and a question you're finally ready to hear. This is more than team dinners. This is love, served hot and home-cooked.
