Good. [A pause.]

Have you heard from Robin?

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

She wants in on anything I do. But she doesn't want her heart back when we find it.

[caveatwalls.livejournal.com]

She thinks she doesn't.

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

She says she works better without it.

[caveatwalls.livejournal.com]

And I'm sure she hasn't told you what that means.

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

...No, she hasn't. What's she done?

[caveatwalls.livejournal.com]

She will kill him when you lead her to him. Working better means working without a moral conscience. [Not that he has that great of one himself, but, well. He's not Robin.]

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Ha.

[It's an almost bitter sound.]

Let me make one thing clear to you. If she attacks him, he'll do worse than just not give her back her heart. She won't stand a chance.

[caveatwalls.livejournal.com]

I have no doubt he's more capable than her. Most people are. But if he's apprehended, she'll have no qualms in killing him after the fact if she thinks it's the better route.

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

I doubt we can arrest him. In either case...I guess this means we're not bringing her with us?

[caveatwalls.livejournal.com]

Why doubt that?

Even if we don't, I'm sure she'll get to him somehow. I just want to know where she is so I can prevent her from doing anything stupid.

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Because he's stronger than I am, stronger than anyone on the police force. You won't be able to take him in.

I can find her too. Are you coming with me to his place, or staying out?

[caveatwalls.livejournal.com]

If he's stronger than you, what do you plan on doing about him?

I'm going.

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Trying to subdue him until we can get the hearts. I can fight him and keep him well distracted if his assistant's not with him.

[caveatwalls.livejournal.com]

[That's not good enough. He needs to know the greater plan behind it all, that's what his job really is. Finding answers to what other people didn't know. That and the nagging feeling of consequences.]

So he can continue doing it to other people once we've retrieved those?

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

I don't think he'll be able to. His location will be outed and no one will trust him. On top of that, Xemnas - one of the others who could have done this - has agreed to help me should I need it. He wouldn't be able to take both of us.

[...And that suddenly starts to bother him. Xemnas and him fighting together. He pushes that out of his mind.]

For now, we get what we need and make sure he can't do this again.

[caveatwalls.livejournal.com]

There's SERO to worry about.

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

What about them?

[caveatwalls.livejournal.com]

If he has an extensive laboratory, he must be getting funding somewhere.

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

He's more than likely with SERO. It wouldn't surprise me if he's even giving them information on this subject.

[caveatwalls.livejournal.com]

They'll protect their own, so there's no guarantees for the cease of activity.

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Not if there's enough on his head from the police and the people here.

[But even then... He knows Xehanort is in with SERO. Nothing will really stop him.]

[caveatwalls.livejournal.com]

[Silence for a while.]

You can't think of any way to stop him.

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

[He pauses as well.]

...There's a way. I can do it, too.

[He just really, really doesn't want to.]

[caveatwalls.livejournal.com]

[He can already tell it's not a good way to do it, whatever it may be.]

There's no way to use what you call Light against him?
