I don't care much for learning to have superpowers, Pops. I just want to be able to face-to-face with some of these guys is all. You have a point, though

Thanks. Could you keep this on the down-low? I don't want more people than those who need to know finding out early on.

[greatinspector]

Yea, of course. Who'd I tell anyway? Smoker? You? Fujiko? I guess maybe that Doctor Adele, but why would I?

[redjacketthief]

Aahh, that's true...

Cap' is making me ask for Dellie's blessing too. [He frowns at this, no longer hiding his discomfort.] I'd rather not tell her anything...but, you know.

[greatinspector]

She is your doctor, after all. She's good people, you should take her advice.

[Lupin's just going to stare at you, Pops. Just going to stare and wonder what the hell--he has a hard time trusting people period, and is wary of Adele because of how easily she could be used against him.]

[redjacketthief]

[Then--he sighs.]

I know that Pops. But, you know me.

...I will try, though.

[greatinspector]

Yea, I know. Paranoid little guy. Sometimes you just gotta trust folks though. I mean, Adele doesn't seem the type who'd want to mess with you anyway.

[redjacketthief]

['Little guy'...? He's of average height, so the comment is more than a little jarring--then again, most people were little compared to Zenigata.]

It's not Dellie I'm thinking about here, Pops.

[greatinspector]

[You are little compared to Zenigata, but you are right, most people are...]

Then who are you worried about?

[redjacketthief]

Who do you think everyone is worried about her, Pops?

[greatinspector]

Well, she's a doctor. She's very nice. And she's clearly easily depressed. I'd say that any of those three traits would make people worry...

[redjacketthief]

You got it. I don't need a depressed person in the fold, and she's liable to get herself killed by acting stupid. Granted, that could happen regardless of whether I tell her...

It's worth time to think about, in a place like this.

[greatinspector]

True enough. People around here seem to get weepy and weirded out for no reason. I mean geez, seriously. I ignore so many messages over the journals because half the time its just some kid freaking out because his nose turned purple or somethin'

[redjacketthief]

Hah! You've got that right! This place is wierd, but that's no reason to let it break you!

...Thanks, Pops. Seriously. Thanks.

[greatinspector]

Sure, anytime. Just don't get yourself busted up again, alright?

[redjacketthief]

I'm a big kid, Pops, remember? I'll be more careful in the future.

[greatinspector]

Bah, yea. That all you wanted, then?

[redjacketthief]

Mostly.

...But there is one more thing.

[greatinspector]

[He takes a few steps away, making sure to be just out of Lupin's reach before he asks. He remembers FULL WELL and its a dangerous game]

And what's that?

1/2

[redjacketthief]

[It takes a hop and a skip to get close enough--

he pokes Pops on the arm.]

TAG!!!!

2/2

[redjacketthief]

[RUNNING AWAY~]

[greatinspector]

[Not even missing a beat, the long-arm of the law coolly reached into his trench coat and flung out a pair of handcuffs, hurling them with the oft-mentioned, but rarely scene superhuman accuracy. He'd known this was coming. Since the minute that bastard had walked in the door...]

[redjacketthief]

[The cuff easily snaps around his bony wrist, with little effort on the thief's part. He was just playing, really.

Messed up as he was, he didn't really feel like fighting.

He grins, only a little sheepish at being caught--then again, he hadn't been too subtle, and this was only an after thought.

Mostly.]

Ha ha~ You caught me, Pops.

[greatinspector]

[Zenigata walks over, pokes Lupin on the shoulder, undoes the cuff and grins]

Tag. No backsies.
