hey can I get yusuf “invented modern art” al-kaysani and nile “is this a rodin” freeman and “slightly unhinged but loves a scam” quynh banding together to heist precious cultural artifacts from western museums and return them to their home countries? nicolo “we fight for what we think is right” di genova can come too.
bonus:
james “I’m now appatently the tech and privacy guy” copley hears whispers about a group called leverage consulting that is rumored to do things exactly like this and gets in contact with a user called @age.of.the.geek.baby and bing bang boom the leverage crew is helping plan heists and showing the tog crew the ropes of liberating art and artifacts for the greater good (and looking good and sometimes ridiculous doing it)
Can you imagine if they met face to face and became friends?
Eliot and Nicky talking about the horrible things they did in their pasts and working towards forgiveness and how they find it in the people they love.
Nile, Joe, and Parker geeking out about art and techniques artists use and the security around different pieces (that's mostly Parker but Joe is taking notes as she rambles).
Copley and Hardison talking about ways to cover virtual and physical footprints and Hardison giving Copley tricks he's learned over the years.
Then the Leverage team hears from Nate and Sophie who are in France, trying to track down a forger who has been making replicas of paintings to pay for his alcohol addiction. Imagine Nate and Booker reluctantly bonding over loss of a son and alcoholism. Imagine Quynh and Sophie taking over the world together.
