You're probably right [she's been spooking herself lately] but Max is the agglomeration of all of my life's horrors, I can't let that go. So the only thing left for me is to continue forward, I'm not about to let go of all of my convictions at this stage.
[As long as she doesn't let her desire to be reckless override her meticulous side.]
Really? A man of many hidden talents I imagine. [You're so badass in those Marvel Shorts Coulson.] I don't suppose a promise to take care of myself would ease your concerns?
You weren’t really going to eat that bird where you?! [Wide eye and concern, tell me you where just bluffing that guy]
[Then a beat as he ponders]
Turn a hero into a villain. Interesting theory. Not impossible... Somehow you'll need to find what motivates them to be a do gooder. Perhaps you could twist that around. Though personally, I'd rather just destroy them.
Of course not. [She has a fondness for animals, but she was just trying to get a little rise out of Oswald.]
Well, I'm not really interested in killing anyone other than Max and destroying Batman would make him even more of a bother to me than he is now...I'm sure Max would use it to his advantage. Don't worry though, I think we've got a handle on it.
Naturally, I don't have a taste for anything that can look at me and plead for it's life.
Oh? You mean the squat unpleasant man? Oswald Cobblepot, the future mayor of Gotham City.
Max is loved by the citizens of Gotham, Batman is also loved by the citizens of Gotham. I'm sure Max would use the Batman's destruction in his favor...it'll make him even annoying.
[It seems as though everyone is afriad of her getting herself killed.] I promise you, I won't get myself killed...you have my word if it helps, Denzel dear.
YES! Him. He reminds me of our Mayor here in Dimmsdale. [Mumbles] All he needs is a goat.
The way you describle Max, he certainly sounds like the type who would. Yes.
[Denzel leans forward] Friends worry about the other's well being. Something I've learned. [Beat] Though doesn't mean you have to like the rest of the world. But that's besides the point. And - YES! It does.
[pressing his glasses on, there's some sudden insanity in his eyes] Now, you know that I know, that you know, that the reason I didn't want you under my skin in the first. Is that I've lost enough people. [If she didn't should had be rather obvoius] But you've managed under their anyways. [Pause and a whisper] And I was tired of losing people before I even found this place. [Insane yell] SO DON'T GET YOURSELF KILLED!
You better. [Why yes, that was a threat] Or I'll have to find you, bring you back to life and kill you again! [Look at that insanity brewing in his eyes]
[Oh, good, the less interested people are in her dastardly deeds the better.]
Thank you very much. I suppose you could call me a cat burglar, but it's conditional. I'm only interested in making one person miserable at the moment.
"Ooo, I know how that is," [Captain John gives a chuckle.] "One of those do-gooders huh? What is with that, did they put something in the water this time period?"
You're referring to the Batman? [He's not just any do-gooder, he's a self-righteous do-gooder...the worst kind] If he would keep his good intentions focused elsewhere it wouldn't be so bad. Though...I really can't account for the sudden upsurge in do-gooders.
"Of course I am, he's famous for it. Have to admit though that bat belt is pretty impressive." [They always seem to have kick-ass accessories those do-gooders maybe there's something in it after all.] "What sort of accessories do you have. Apart from the classes that is."
Oh...so you know Batman then? I didn't think anyone else on the community would know of him. [Selina's not to fond of his little Napalm bombs.] I have a pretty nasty set of claws and a whip, nothing fancy, but this gal is on a budget.
"Well not personally, being from the 51st century and all. " [Time Agency secrecy directive? What's that?] "A whip. I used one of those when I was in the Old West. Good times."
[He looks sympathetic.] "Lacking in funds is always a problem. Perhaps a bank heist is in order."
The timelines of this community...I'm not so sure I'll ever be able to grasp it. You're pretty far along aren't you? [If she wasn't baffled enough] Whips are a very versatile weapon, I find.
[Yes, she's had to re-stich her outfit every time time she's been knocked off a building.] Well it's a practical idea, but I'm not quite ready to draw too much attention to myself yet. Right now I'm small potatoes next to the Red Triangle Gang.
"I am indeed! Though I'm currently taking in the sights of the 21st century. Aside from the rigid sexual rules it's turning out quite fun indeed." [Hey, John's more than happy to give credit where it's due.]
"And there is something to be said for anonymity. Perhaps something a little more subtle." [As if he knows the meaning of the weird! ]
Yeah, well, we do have Disney World and Soapland...So you're a time traveler then? Must be terribly handy.
Mmm since I only have it out for Max there's absolutely nothing wrong with stealing from his industry. Convienient since I also happen to work there...makes it easy to be subtle.
[Video]
[No good end anyway.]
[Video]
You think I'm self-destructing?
[Video]
[Video]
[Video]
...is there something I can do to help? [Less with the vengeance part more with the keeping her alive part; he's kind of lawful good, after all.]
[Video]
I'm not sure what and I'd be very concerned with wanting to keep you safe and sound. [Which is why she'd have to ask how he could possibly help her.]
Re: [Video]
Safe and sound isn't something I need to be worried about. I'm tougher than I look. [But she has a point.] I'm not sure what either.
[Video]
Really? A man of many hidden talents I imagine. [You're so badass in those Marvel Shorts Coulson.] I don't suppose a promise to take care of myself would ease your concerns?
[Video]
Well, at the very least, that sort of promise can't hurt. Just, you know, I expect you to keep it, Selina.
[Video]
Then I'll make that you're Christmas present [or part of it] I promise I'll take care of myself, I'll survive this no matter what.
[And if she does get hurt, it totally won't be her fault.]
[Video]
[Video]
Maybe I'll see you when this is all over.
[Video]
I hope so.
[Video]
Well I made a promise, so it's a date, Phil Coulson.
[Video]
Then, I'll look forward to it, Selina.
[Video]
Yeah. I'll be looking forward to it too.
[Video]
[Video]
[This isn't going to be smooth at all.]
[Video]
[...he'll really be unhappy if he has to worldhop for the first time to go to a funeral B| ]
[Video]
[Fortunately he won't have to, but he might think so for a little while, shhhhh.]
[Video]
[...hey. Uncool, Selina. 8( ]
[Video]
[You'll get your present though, she already has the picture, she'll just need someone top hop it to you XD]
[Video]
[Then a beat as he ponders]

[Video]
[Beat] Who was that? [Scratching his head]
[Before another beat] Why would destroying Batman make Max more of a torn in your side?
[Distress brows] Just so long as you don't get yourself killed.
[Video]
Oh? You mean the squat unpleasant man? Oswald Cobblepot, the future mayor of Gotham City.

Re: [Video]
Of course, he's quite the opportunist, anything to get Gotham under his thumb.
Denzel, you're very sweet...it's surprising that people are worried, but at the same time it's a comfort. So, since it helps I'll keep my word.
[Video]
Well... You can't say that's a bad trait...
[pressing his glasses on, there's some sudden insanity in his eyes] Now, you know that I know, that you know, that the reason I didn't want you under my skin in the first.

[Video]
Well, I have seven lives left, you can rest assured that I will not be killed in this endeavor...besides I'm a woman of my word.
So, you're not going to have to bring me back to life.
[Video]
With what luck I have, I wish you the best of that.
