Then it's good I found a hair of yours, and fingerprints.

[Bluffing? Not? Did it matter? He worked with the police, he could forge it.]

And that you're a known house burglar.

[motherwarnedme]

You really think I would steal from you?

If we're going to use my past to pin me to this crime, you should know that I would only steal from those who have more than enough. Fortunately, here, most of us are on equal ground, unlike in Gotham.

So tell me, what would be my motive then?

[doctorisin]

Revenge, most likely. Upset at our last conversation, wanting to prove you have power, control.

That's very typical of your kind.

Don't let it happen again.

[motherwarnedme]

Would I be so petty to seek revenge over a trivial conversations?

[ Short answer: yes. But you don't need to know that. ]

And what kind would that be?

[doctorisin]

Emotionally crippled kleptomaniacs.

[motherwarnedme]

You're starting to sound like a broken record.

[doctorisin]

Then stop asking the same questions and leave my apartment be... I'd hate for there to be an accident.

[motherwarnedme]

As I told you, you've got the wrong girl.

[doctorisin]

Careful, Ms. Kyle.

[Voice strained, before he hung up.]

[Letter xoxo]

[doctorisin]

[As a 'thank you' for what you did to his apartment, Ms. Kyle...

Please find an envelope, red, delivered under your door. Can't resist that, now can you, Ms. Kyle? After all, such a flirtatious little kitten, it could be a love letter...

In fact, there is a letter inside. All the letter says is the following:

Sweet Dreams.

He'd graciously coated the paper in his toxin, and let it dry. Still, holding it in your hands will give a slow burn, Ms. Kyle. Your fingers have pores, after all. So that little bit of the toxin that will get in, through your fingertips and through your nose?

It might have you a little on edge for the rest of the day.

Enjoy payback.]

voice; anon, the day after the minihulk event

[powerofthegods]

[Schmidt was, of course, distracted by making sure his assassin had properly located Dr Erskine, but he still found the time to call Selina. He knew she couldn't call him, as she had no way of reaching him.

And he really hoped she'd succeeded, as the minihulks had proved a good distraction and it didn't look like this was going to be traced back to him.]

Ms Kyle, was your heist successful?

[voice]

[motherwarnedme]

[ Don't you have great timing, creepy anon boss. ]

Successful may not be the word to use at this point...

Selina-san! During mother's day we made some memories, I've finished editing everything and even added some stuff to the pictures and put them in an album. When I can stop by to drop it off?

[motherwarnedme]

[ Why are you the best son ever, Ritsuka? ]

You can drop them off whenever you want. I'll be here.

[ She clears her schedule just for you &heart; ]

[in_loveless_memory]

[She can't see it, but his tail is swishing.]

Great! I'll come by tonight! I can't wait to show you.

[voice; perma anon]

[powerofthegods]

[Not the word to use? Oh, great.]

So you failed then? [Can you hear the disappointment in his voice?] After the way you touted your skill, even with Dr Connors helping you?

[ permavoice ]

[motherwarnedme]

Okay, first of all, you don't send a big lizard for a job that requires finesse.

Second of all, it wasn't like the station was left completely unattended. I was promised a distraction to make it easy.

[motherwarnedme]

I can't wait to see them.

[powerofthegods]

He was there for your protection, and to create a distraction if necessary. It should have been easy.

So, who stopped you? Was it anyone you recognized? [He bet he already knew the answer.]

[Action]

[in_loveless_memory]

I'll be right over!

[Getting everything ready, he made his way to Selina's and knocked on the door.]

[motherwarnedme]

There was a Doctor there...didn't get his name. And one other....I think I heard Lestrade mentioned.

It's going to be a bit harder to get those items back.

[powerofthegods]

[He considered for a moment. A Doctor? Maybe she meant the Doctor, although honestly it's not like Schmidt knew anything about the man except in passing. He'd seen some of his broadcasts on the network. He was hardly a big enough man to take on a giant lizard. And neither was Lestrade.]

You mean that you were stopped by two people who I would hardly describe as formidable, unless they have some ability I am not aware of, stopped you from stealing finishing your job?

[motherwarnedme]

Two others too. That kid, Peter Parker and one other guy. Blonde with super powers.

[powerofthegods]

... Captain America? [Of course. Steve was getting in Schmidt's way even when he didn't know it. Damnit.

He is silent for what seems like a while before he speaks again.] If I were to give you another chance, would you be able to produce results this time? [He wants that stuff back and it's not like he has anything else to try and get it.]

[motherwarnedme]

I hope he really doesn't go by that name.

[ That's way worse than Batman. It's like the name of a Saturday morning cartoon. ]

I may be able to. This time, I'll go in alone. A crippled lizard isn't exactly discreet.
