I see you bounced around a lot.

[iamverybadass]

[ Huffs and stuffs his phone into his hoodie pocket ]

Apparently so.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Raises an eyebrow]

What? Sore subject?

[iamverybadass]

My mother is.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then let's talk about the fact you can drive. You never told me that.

[iamverybadass]

Oh, yes. I've been driving since I was 10, at least. Presumably even younger.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Can you hotwire a car? I lost ---

[Read: Gave away]

The actual keys.

[iamverybadass]

Of course I can, but can't your unit control machines? Or do you not have that ability yet?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Sure, if I want to drive.

But this is about you driving. Might as well go all-in in case you ever need to "borrow" a car.

[iamverybadass]

[ Snorts ]

I see. While I do not typically condone theft, I am sure I'll be forced to make exceptions from time to time.

Where is the car you need hotwired now?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It's not theft if you bring it back. Eventually. Even in pieces, since I can repair it.

[Gestures toward the opposite of the hotel - other side of the park]

Follow me.

[iamverybadass]

Please, I can keep it in one piece. I'm a professional.

[ Following after him. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[And in an abandoned building on the opposite side of the hotel, there will be one silver convertible (because of course that's what it is).

Intensity gestures to the driver's seat.]

After you.

[iamverybadass]

Thank you.

[ He's just going to slide right in there and lean down to pop a panel on the steering column open to get at the wiring. ]

This shouldn't take more than a minute.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He just grunts an affirmative as he climbs into the passenger's seat.

Take your time, Talon]

[iamverybadass]

[ It definitely takes him a little longer than a minute to sort through the wires and make the connections he needs, but before long there's a sparking sound and the engine purrs into life ]

There. Now, where are we going?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Not even trying to hide his grin]

Hospital.

I need to "borrow" another x-ray machine.

[Spoiler: He never returns them]

[iamverybadass]

I'm going to tell Silver you're involving me in felonies.

[ Give him a sec to scoot his seat closer to the wheel, and then he'll pull out and onto the street ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If we grab another one, I'll make x-ray goggles to buy your silence.

[iamverybadass]

[ He starts to say something, catches himself, and shoots a quick glance at Intensity before looking back at the road. ]

Are you serious?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[With a wicked grin]

I'm always serious.

[iamverybadass]

[ Lighting right up like the kid he is ]

Then I have something to look forward to.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then let's add to the felonies. Go ten kilometers over the speed limit!

Go big or go home.

[iamverybadass]

Only 10? Please, if you want me to go big then I'll go big.

[ FLOORING IT

thankfully he is in fact skilled enough to handle a car at this speed, but it may not make it any less alarming to be speeding through city streets, even if they are empty ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Casually folds his hands behind his head as they go cruising at ill-advised speeds through the city.

Yes. Good. Perfect even.

This is why the term joy-riding was coined]
