This is pointless.

A waste of time, simply sitting here. There is more important work to focus on.

That depends on the type of laws you seek to break.

[ She is, after all, a vigilante. Some infractions are worse than others. ]

[rebelwithoutaface]

I'll say it proud. I don't have time for law or order. All I'm interested in is justice.

[He crosses his arms. Goofing off aside, one of his few passionate subjects.]

Some people will call me a terrorist, but I've never hurt a person who wasn't willingly part of an evil bigger than any one person.

[toavenge]

[ Her expression is wary, but not hostile. ]

And what is "evil," to you?

[rebelwithoutaface]

[And suddenly, he's a bit flippant, shrugging widely.]

You know. Suppressing the masses, conquering those that don't want to be suppressed, destroying stuff you haven't got a right to even look at. Anything that treats people like commodities, really.

[toavenge]

We are not so different, then.

The innocent and vulnerable need protection from their oppressors.

[ And those oppressors deserve to be punished. ]

[rebelwithoutaface]

[Allow him to vocalise that unspoken sentiment-]

And the oppressors deserve punishment for what they've done.

[Justice, revenge... Same thing.]

[toavenge]

Perhaps you'd like to help me, Mister Lawbreaker.

[rebelwithoutaface]

Depends what you need a hand with. I can't reach the top shelf, if that's what you need, but I'm a fine booster.

[toavenge]

I have been working on a few cases. Swine that must be stopped. Victims who must be avenged.

[rebelwithoutaface]

... Is it sad to say that this request is actually one of the sweetest things someone has done for me in years?

[toavenge]

[ Her vaguely amused smile returns. ]

What company do you generally keep, I wonder.

[rebelwithoutaface]

Keep wondering, I'm suddenly feeling the urge to upgrade for a while.

[That's a 'yes' on the giving her some help, although he reserves the right to be a pain about it. He's always a pain about everything though.]

[toavenge]

Then, we can start at once.

[ The sooner, the better. ]

[rebelwithoutaface]

I'll warn you. I've been doing a lot more of the 'nothing worth doing' side of things lately. The gears in my head are a bit rusty, but if it's a beating you'd like administered, point me the way.

[toavenge]

With time, gears can work quite well, even after an absence.

We won't be doing anything rash.

[rebelwithoutaface]

[Funny thing is, he thinks he's lying and is as sharp as ever. But several years of being without challenge has him pretty dull compare the super genius self of prior years.]

In that case, you can be my motor oil. Or something.
