Good. Good. You took a roundabout way, my dear, but the important thing is that you're here, now. We'll accomplish great things together. I'm sure of it.

Now. What was that you said, about Raven?

Loyalty. Why do you think I spent nearly twenty years hunting you?

Loyalty, yes.

[he is completely serious.]

Loyalty to a cause. To a way of thinking. Loyalty to the man who followed in my footsteps. You may have killed me, Erik, but then you became me.

[That is more a gut punch than an actual gut punch.]

I'm not you.

Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck...

Someday, Erik, you'll use fear and anger as effortlessly as I did with you.

You son of a bitch-- [Impotent rage is not a good look on Erik; he's throwing a punch at Shaw's jaw.]

[ Kinda like hitting a brick wall. Except a brick wall that eats kinetic energy for breakfast. He catches Erik's hand in a punishing grip, shoves him back with unsurprising strength. ]

I believe I recall a story from the mundane... Something about shoving a boy off a radar? Now that sounds like something I would do.

[Certainly not his best decision; he stumbles back, shaking his hand out and grinding his teeth together.]

Really? Are you sure you wouldn't have hunted down his family and killed them one by one until he jumped?

Please, Erik. There are much more subtle tools to be used on a boy like that in this day and age.

[For a moment, he looks like he might hit Shaw again, but logic prevails ~~for once~~.]

Then it's a good thing you didn't find him. One monster is more than enough.
