“I suppose a lot of teenage girls feel invisible sometimes, like they just disappear. Well, that's me—Cammie the Chameleon. But I'm luckier than most because, at my school, that's considered cool. I go to a school for spies.”

Matt: [On the phone to Joe who’s babysitting] Keep your eye on Cammie. She has a tendency to wander off.
Joe: [seeing Cammie is gone] Matt... uh, wh-wh... I'm... I'm totally capable of...
Matt: You lost her, didn't you?
Joe: No. No, no, no, no. No, she is right next to me. Hi, Cammie.
Matt: I can hear it in your voice. Look in the dairy case.
Joe: [finding Cammie but struggling with doors] Matthew, do you honestly think that I would lose...
Matt: The doors don't pull. They slide.

"The more he thinks about it, the more it comes down to the same two options he always runs into: Joe or Rachel. Except this time, the answer ain’t so obvious."
-Full Circle, 1989
I am so in my feelings about this line in particular because it struck me that Matthew Morgan loves these two people so much that he walks this tightrope for the rest of his life. His two soul mates.
He quite literally goes back and forth between the two of them until someone ends the turn on Joe. Just how it started.
Matt in all of his love, takes these two makes them his top priorities. Shows them a lot about true love, which softens Rachel and assures Joe. Matt waltzes into their lives with all the sweetness and promises of rising sun and is torn away like one of those infamous Midwestern tornados.
What's left are two people without their soul mate. Both Joe and Rachel are no longer being loved like they were. Neither is the priority of someone's affection. Connections? Gone. There's essentially a "Matt shaped hole" in their hearts.
Maybe he knew he wouldnt be around forever, so he probably nailed it into both of them that when he was gone theyd need someone. Rachel was allowed to fall in love again. Joe was allowed to fall in love with whoever. That kind of thing?
Matt, in his final act of kindness, gives them one another. Both of them hold one of the last pieces of Matt. They miss that Matt like love. Not that they know it, but they are capable of loving like he did, forever touched by his heart.They slowly realize that they had the same soul mate. In their own way, Joe and Rachel are made for one another......by Matthew Morgan. They are soul mates in their own special way because of him. Ugh. Why.

Find the list of January Prompts I’m participating in here - join in! I love seeing all the different stories people come up with from the same words 💙 I actually didn’t pop the words of the prompt into this one, just more of the general feeling that they brought to me. Please enjoy Joe being Joe and also the tiniest hint of a nod to the listen series by @averagejoesolomon in the form of a spoon, a dad and his daughter in this 
Joe could use a shower, a warm bed, and a decent cup of coffee. His jet-lag hasn’t caught up to him just yet, that feeling of an op clings to him, keeping him going far longer than possible. Adrenaline and anxiety curl around tense and tight muscles still, making his brain more alert than it should be. 
Which is why he slows his steps when the black town car rounds the corner, heading in the same direction as him. Eyes track the moving vehicle from under aviators as he pulls out the burner, maintaining his course towards the idling jet, dialing the number he’s had memorized for the past several years. 
Tumblr media
It rings three times, he speaks five numbers into the receiver clearly, then a click. 
“Rachel Morgan, Headmistress of the-”
“Catch me up here, Rach-Ms. Morgan,” he corrects, staring as the car’s red brake lights glow, and a teenage girl climbs out of the backseat. 
Rachel’s voice is crackled and stiff over the line, but he can detect the amusement in her tone. “We have an international student who just so happened to also need a lift home. Win-win.”
The teenage girl stands with her arms crossed next to the trunk of the car, a stubborn pout on her lips before she sees him. He can tell she’s startled at the sight of him - hesitant - all of it clear just from her eyes, but she’s pretty good at hiding it - her body language and pout remain intact. 
He ducks his head, lips barely moving against the phone as he hisses, “How is me, sitting on a jet, alone, trapped with a teenage girl for eight hours, a win-win, Rachel?”
“You need a ride, she needs a ride, and I need you both here. Quite literally the definition of a win-win, if you ask me. Actually, it’s technically a win-win-win. They should give me a trophy for that many in a row.” 
Abe and Grace Baxter climb out of the car and he watches the girl melt into her mother’s embrace as he grows closer to the trio and the waiting jet. 
He shakes his head, ever so slightly, and laughs, amused, but irritated nonetheless. 
“You know, you’re becoming more and more like your sister each passing day?”
It’s meant as a joke, a light-hearted jab, like they used to. But things aren’t the same anymore, and they haven’t been for quite some time. 
If he were there, in person, maybe he’d see her eyes, feel that air that surrounds Rachel and tells him the silent things he needs to know. But he’s in London and she’s in Virginia, and all he can do is listen to the tight way her words come out. 
“Well, I suppose I should take that as a compliment. Everyone likes Abby more anyways. Always have, right?”
“Rachel, I didn’t mean-”
“Best get going, Mr. Solomon. At this rate, you and Ms. Baxter will be crashing my welcome back speech.”
The phone clicks and then she’s gone. 
He’s at the car now, and Abe Baxter has his hands on his daughter’s shoulders, smiling.
“Don’t forget that thing I taught you with-”
“With the spoon. Yeah, dad, I got it.” She rolls her eyes, tone seeming to be brushing it off, but Joe can see the way she loves her father fiercely, all from those eyes that give her away. 
Grace smiles at him, “Sorry we can’t stay and catch up, Joe. Duty calls. Keep an eye on our girl?”
He nods, a short but courteous thing and offers his best smile. He drops the burner, stomps on it, and pulls the pieces apart before tossing it to Abe who catches it without looking up. Rebecca Baxter watches it all with eager, hungry eyes - like a sponge trying to absorb every last drop. He suspects she’ll be one of his new students who gives him a run for his money. And that’s before he hears:
“Darling, give Liz and Cammie our love!” 
She waves as the town car doors close, watching until it disappears and her bags and trunks are loaded into the plane. 
Joe is fairly certain his heart rate has increased exponentially because not only is he about to be trapped on a plane with a teenager, but a teenager who just so happens to be best friends with the one girl he isn’t ready to see again. 
Rebecca turns to face him, her hand out, overconfidence radiating out of her like she thinks she’s a seasoned operative like her parents, like him, and not the inexperienced teenager that she is. 
Joe is one thousand percent positive he can hear Matthew Morgan, somewhere, wishing him an apprehensive:
Good luck, buddy. And get ready.

How do you think Zach asked Rachel for Cam's hand in marriage?
So here’s the thing. Zach didn’t just have to ask Rachel. He had to ask Joe.
You see, Joe Solomon takes his role of stepdad very seriously. Once, Cammie called him dad without thinking about it, and it was pretty much the best day of his life. And yes, he loves Zach and has taken him under his wing and he’s basically his kid.
But that doesn’t mean he gets a free pass.
There was a rather intensive test. And while Rachel rolled her eyes, she let it happen—mostly because she wanted to watch it play out.
(She did make it clear that it was ultimately Cammie’s decision and they would support her no matter what. Joe agreed, although they both knew he would try and dissuade her if Zach didn’t meet his very high standards.)
So Zach shows up, and he’s a world class spy, he’s not afraid of anything. (He’s shaking in his boots.)
He has a speech planned. “Your daughter means the world to me, I will do everything in my power to make her happy for the rest of her life” blah blah blah.
Joe was not impressed.
He took him to a course that makes those American Ninja Warrior courses look like a kindergarten playground.
There was also a written test, and a practical final eerily like the Covert Ops final but like…way harder.
(Zach passed, but he almost failed a couple times.)
Joe gives him the shovel talk, but ultimately gives him his blessing.
Rachel laughs and pulls Zach to the side, letting him know that those ridiculous courses were never really a factor in whether or not he could marry Cammie. And then she told him, with a sweet smile on her face, “If you ever hurt my daughter, I will kill you with a piece of uncooked spaghetti.”

Joe: I don't answer stupid questions.
Townsend: I speak Swahili.
Abby: My eyes. Oh, and I guess my hair, too.

Rachel: Are you hitting on Joe… for me?

CATHERINE GOODE
Still, Matt has one more question that he just can’t seem to shake. “Joe?” he says. “What’s her name?”
It takes Joe long enough to answer that Matt wonders if Joe’s already hung up, and he’s talking into dead air. “Her name is Catherine,” he finally says. “Catherine Goode.”

Do you think Matt had ever seen blackthorne?
Hi friend!
I do not believe that Matt ever actually saw Blackthorne and here's why.
He had his suspicions and then we find out in the fourth and fifth books that Matt was so close to taking down the circle. He had dedicated so much time and effort towards this mission. He found out that Joe had been recruited and then they decide to work together.
I truly think that Joe was afraid for Matt and I think he wanted to protect him as much as possible and that the only way to do that was to work together, and Joe would handle everything on the inside while Matt handled the outside.
I don't think Joe would have let Matt get anywhere near Blackthorne. it was too risky. I think he gave him clues to it but I don't think he ever showed it to him. Blackthorne was a part of Joe's past, and he didn't want to Matt to think of him like that. He didn't want Matt to hate him.
Which is also why Joe never told Matt about his part in the Circle. He didn't tell him that he had been recruited. He didn't tell him anything. He let Matt figure it out on his own.
So no. I don't think Matt ever saw Blackthorne. I don't think Joe had any intention of showing it to him. Not in the slightest.
