316: The San Lorenzo Job

I love that this is basically the same as the “We have a Hulk” scene in Avengers (and came out before it) but that in terms of the Leverage Crew, the Hulk, who you’d think would be Elliot (rage, not good with talking out his emotions, Mr. Punchy) is actually Hardison (that cheerful grin, the sass, the neverending well of love and joy).  Because the truth is, Elliot can’t do that always angry thing.  He can’t sustain his anger, he can only sustain his pain.  He can’t simmer for ages, he has to get in there and Do Something when he gets mad.  He’s Steve, to be honest.  But Hardison?  Hardison who hacked a foreign bank on prom night to pay back his Nana for all the good she did her foster kids?  Hardison who buries himself in games and toys and gummy frogs and orange soda because that’s what people expect of the “geek”? Hardison who grew up poor, and orphaned, and black, and oh so incredibly smart?  Hardison who is so constantly afraid, of dust, of small spaces, of high places, who loves a vent-crawling building jumping thief like she’s the sun?  Who had to hold Parker’s hand as she panicked about foster kids in Eastern Europe somehow ending up broken like her?

Hardison is angry.

He’s always angry.

And no puny evil like Damian Moreau can stop him.

every ot3 has these very important roles:

  • person a, who runs headlong into crazy bullshit
  • person b, who acts like they’re too sensible to

    run headlong into crazy bullshit, but is really just as bad as person a

  • person c, who actually tries to avoid running headlong into crazy bullshit, but keeps getting dragged into it by the other two anyway
  • parker
  • hardison
  • eliot

How would Eliot fare in Cutthroat Kitchen?

I think he’d be cranky to be on it in the first place tbh, because for Eliot cooking is something really emotional and personal. He’ll do it commercially, like I assume sometimes he cooks at the brewpub, and he’ll do it for a con, but to do it on a television show like that, I think he’d find it crass (not that I do, but Eliot would). So he’d be on it for a con, I assume, and that’d make him cranky. MURDER EYES. And the con probably would hinge on him losing, but it’s real easy to win by accident on Cutthroat Kitchen, so he’d probably go home with all the money AND a win, forcing Hardison to take his place backstage and do the shit he was supposed to do after losing. 

I bet at one point Eliot serves an empty plate in an attempt to lose and still wins because “if he couldn’t make it perfectly he wouldn’t serve me substandard food, and I love the glimpse that gives into the mindset of the chef.” – The Guest Celebrity Judge. 

“Okay,
Hardison, I need you to steal a place on the…”

“No.”

Nate
stilled and frowned. Out of the whole crew, Eliot was perhaps the
most reasonable one. So why now…?

“Eliot,
we need to infiltrate the show from the inside to get to our mark, we
need you to participate in it. It’s the easiest way to make you
interesting to Marlow.”

Eliot
breathed sharply through his nose and, after a long while, nodded
curtly.

“Fine,”
he rasped. Nate hummed, satisfied, and was about to give Hardison a
set of instruction when the hitter spoke once more. “But there
is no way I’m cheating my way in. If I do that, I do that right.”
