I’m not sure what I want more
mcsweeten being in leverage redemption and still having not a clue that parker and hardison are, in fact, not federal agents and are actually world-class criminals
or at some point between the finale and now he did find out, and then some government official gets wind of one of their heists and is jabbing their finger at a blurry image of parker and hardison mid-thievery and with a completely straight face, mcsweeten explains that guys, those are agents hagen and thomas and they are working on an undercover op and were in no way at all involved of what is inconveniencing the government now
and the government official keeps trying to explain they are criminals but mcsweeten just pulls up their dossiers and credentials and he can literally see the vein throbbing in the man’s forehead but he just smiles says that he has personally worked with agent hagen and would trust her with his life
look all I’m saying is that I manifested fbi director todd mcsweeten and every like and reblog to this post was adding energy to the manifestation
Wait hear me out
What if our favorite top dog at interpol told him? A fan fic idea. A buddy cop between McSweeten and Sterling. Just fucking helping cover up the leverage team so they dont get caught.
Think about it?? Like they have friends in high places people!! The friends of my friends are my friends!!
McSweeten is genuinely enamored with the team helping pick up where he can't get involved and Sterling just keeps owing a certain retired insurance investor favors. Eventually ending with "just keep Parker and her team and my Sophie safe now. You will be around much longer than i will." His final favor as Nate will die a couple years after without speaking to him again.
