Shades? Ah. Fuck.

I...think I work with him now. I'll explain you have bad history with 'Mr Shepherd'. And...cops and everything, okay? I'm sure he wasn't trying to upset you.

You're fucking kidding. Why the fuck does mister 'I took Security so I am the law' pretend to work at the hospital?

If it's who I think he's like...a research doctor I think? He works with infectious diseases. I'm helping him build a lab.

I'm sure we can work it out, okay?

Work it out? I was doing my own thing, in my own space, at no risk to anyone. And he treated me like shit. And I got angry, but can I be fucking blamed when dude basically treated what I was working on as frivolous and then threatened me like that?

Be careful, B. He's Noh-Varr fast. And way less trustworthy than Noh-Varr turned out to be. And probably has crap music taste too. Dude got suspicious Tony was a pervert because Tony told that new REAL doctor that he's got a gentle touch with machines.

Maybe he was just worried about the fire? And emotions got kind of...heated? I believe you. I just want to hope that it's more 'misunderstanding' than 'targeted hate crime', you know? I know you're sort of predisposed to take issue with police.

Why were even talking about Tony?

Dude, you know how much I care about that diner. The oven wasn't close enough to even begin to be a threat, even if it went bonfire.

Dude doesn't know me from Sunday. But I'd think you would fucking trust me. But of course, I forgot, you don't see a problem with cops.

Because it came up, alright? Dude's just fucking snap judgements.

I know. But that doesn't mean everyone knows.

I do trust you. I'm just trying to understand. And I don't think all cops are bad, no. I know you don't feel the same. And I understand why.

Okay. I hear you. I'll talk to him.

Billy, ACAB. AFuckingCAB. And if your response is 'and I understand why' to why I think that, you've never had a serious talk with Eli. Or David. Or Kate. Fucking hell. At least Lauri-Ell actually MEANT to do good, and cared about the spirit of justice. Cops don't.

Did you know that 2014 officially marked the first year in the US where people had more assets stolen by cops by illegal or barely legal laws than assets were stolen by ACTUAL BURGLARS!? That when people get pulled over on the freeways for speeding, other cops come and park behind the first cop just to harass people?

Dude, ACAB.

I'm sure some of them are good people. I know there's a lot of bad ones. I know.

Can we not do this? Not right now?
We can talk about this, I wanted to learn, just...later? When we're both a little calmer?

I just want to believe there's good people out there, Tommy.

Good people that try to be cops get driven out in the academy, or shamed. There's plenty of records of cops killed in 'training accidents' after they've reported their fellows for abuse of power. So maybe there's a small number of them that are good, but that's like saying 'well the Thunderbolts are trying to be good people, so ALL people that have ever been super villains are good'.

It's not one bad apple and all that shit. It's one or two good eggs in a whole damn store.

And if you don't want to hear that, then I don't even know what to say. Maybe congrats on being comfortable. Because maybe there's good people out there, but you won't see them among that sort of crew.

I do want to talk about it. I want to hear it. Just not now. Not over text. Okay?
We'll talk later. I'll listen, I promise.

Yeah, whatever. I'm going to go poke that Reeve dude, see if he can tell me where I went wrong on the oven.

You promise you're not hurt? You'd tell me?
I'll talk to Wesker (that's his name).
Love you, kay? Be safe.

Wesker is a shit name.

And no I'm not hurt. If I was I'd seek you or that kid Omega out. Don't trust that lady doc that arrived.

Tommy.

She seems good. And she's a proper doctor. But I'm always here to help you. Or Omega, whoever you trust.

Don't you Tommy me.

You think I trust a 'proper doctor' with the sort of thing I am? I'm barely human in the ways they care about, B.

I'm gonna Tommy you.

You can trust whoever you trust, I'm just saying, I think she's all right. If you needed your appendix out or something I'd recommend her over me.

Acting like you're the older one. Just be careful B.

Oh, I don't have an appendix.

Little bros can still worry, T.

You don't?

I know.

Yeah, it's gone. It went sideways when I was only about seven, and during the school day. I got sent to the ER before the Shepherds could complain, and once there the docs weren't going to take 'no we don't want to spend the money' as an answer.

<3 I'm sorry.

Dude, not even that bad. I got SO MUCH ice cream.
