Tasteless.

Hey. Hey.

It got the job done, and I didn't have to swashbuckle or anything.

I'm lazy today, give me a break.

Euw. No.

...maybe on Brood.

Look, I literally do not see a single dead person in this room I liked. Win win.

Yeh were supposed to beat them up and get info, not kill them! Heed ain't one of yeh X-Force types, yeh know.

But I'm so bad at that!

Okay look, I think that guy over there is still breathing.

Hmph. Get better.

[The dragon sees that he is correct so he hops onto the guy's chest and pulls him up in a surprising feat of strength with his stubby hands, smoke in his nostrils.] Heed can't talk like yeh so simple. Talk about where yeh boss is or Heed let Deadie finish yeh off. [Ok, so Lockheed has a dark side, it's been a long day.]

... If he doesn't answer will you set him on fire?

[Lockheed opens his mouth to deny such a thing before pausing, then smiling a faux cruel smile at the goon. This gets him talking. And maybe wetting himself if he hadn't already.]

... Awwwwwww.

Will you still set him in fire?

No, he told us what we want, police can take care of him. After what yeh did to his buddies Heed doubts he'll be bad again.

Can I at least shoot him in the leg?

[He makes the dragon equal to a heavy sigh. Lockheed sometimes misses the days he could pretend to not speak a word of English.]

...No. Now get goin', we got mutant buddies to save.

But none of them are my friends either.

How about... you go save them, and I'll catch up on some Maude reruns.

I thought you enjoyed getting to 'swashbuckle'.

I ate a burrito an hour ago, my stomach's heart isn't in it.

What a poor villain you make. [He sounds almost fond.]

I don't do that villain shit anymore. Good guy now.

Anyway, everyone is dead, mission accomplished. Collect check, go home, watch TV. I do not see any downsides to this.

I will not be shamed by someone who wears fucking giant gold horns and a cape.

Oh yes, for nothing says "good guy" like C4.

You can't blow people up and still be a good guy. I know because I asked Steve Rogers last time I brought down the Town hall. He was quite positive.

And I rather think the horns and cape give me panache.

What does Steve know, he was frozen for fifty years, he doesn't even have a Facebook.

Can too, just did, don't make me shoot you, boo boo.

True, but he has a Grindr. I know because I signed him up.

You're not going to shoot me.

Actually yeah. I am.

I don't like you so I'm gonna shoot you in the dick.

That's hurtful.

I thought you were lazy today, are you sure you wish to pick a fight with me?

You underestimate how much I really don't like you. I'm pretty much ambivalent about a lot of people.

But you're a dick and no one will miss you.

Would you like me to kill you now, or may I ask what's the reason for this sudden inimicality first?
