~Yer wrong.~

[magnet_girl]

You would be the one.

[hollow_man]

~To not take yer shit? Yes.~

[magnet_girl]

Some day I will throw you through a window.

[hollow_man]

~I'm pretty durable, luv. Just get right back up and come inside again.

...so really, wot do you think yer right about?~

[magnet_girl]

That we need a few more mutant terrorists running around, not less.

And do not give me the "But think of the civilians" look. I'm perfectly aware of how much the average person cares about us and don't need a lecture on it.

[hollow_man]

~I'm not giving you that look. I just...

I agree in theory. A bit. I mean, sometimes you 'ave to riot. You do.

But it's... We are dangerous, yeah?~

[magnet_girl]

I am. You are.

The kid who talks to trees and hangs upside down from their toes? Less dangerous than a redneck with an assault rifle.

At least until someone tries to kill them a few times.

[hollow_man]

[He somehow manages to sigh telepathically.]

~Yeah. Yeah, yer right. I guess I just don't want people who didn't do anything getting 'urt.~

[magnet_girl]

They don't help, so I don't have enough left in me to care about any of them.

[hollow_man]

~So if someone isn't actively helping you, sod em?~

[magnet_girl]

Pretty much? If they're not taking our side they're by default taking the side of the people who want us dead. So yeah. Sod em.

[hollow_man]

~Even kids?~

[magnet_girl]

Children? No. Teenagers even? No. I'm not a complete and unreasonable monster, Jono.

[hollow_man]

~No, yer not.

Just want to make sure it stays that way.~

[magnet_girl]

What? You're the Mutant police now?

[hollow_man]

~Oh yeah, look at me, obvious filth.
No, I just generally think of you as a decent person, but I'm not so stupid as to be blind to the fact that decent people, when under an onslaught of utter shit, can sometimes get cold.~

[magnet_girl]

Each and every one us lives with the threat of utter shit descending on our head at any given moment if the wind blows in the wrong direction.

[hollow_man]

~I am aware. I was shot the other day because I'm not exactly inconspicuous.~

[magnet_girl]

Yeah? What did you do about it?

[hollow_man]

~Fell over.

Oh, but when I realised a moment later that I was fine because I've nothing in me chest? Blasted the guy and ran like fuck before he could aim at me head.~

[magnet_girl]

Did you kill him?

[hollow_man]

~I don't think so.~

[magnet_girl]

Too Bad.

[hollow_man]

~Yeah.

Yer ruthless.~
