Damn.

Re: 7/4 Re: Peter's Arrival

[useofcuriosity]

Bakemono, I thought you were all about trusting everyone and changing people to good.

[truealphascott]

I am. I did. I tried. But..

[He rubbed his face with frustration. He looked a lot more tired than he normally did. Haggard almost.]

[useofcuriosity]

But?

[truealphascott]

I don't know.

[He shakes his head.]

The timing sucks.

[Why couldn't he be talking to Stiles? Although.. really.. Thomas had been surprisingly easy to talk to the last couple of days.]

We're going to have to keep an eye on him again.

[useofcuriosity]

Why?

[truealphascott]

Because I'm sure he's going to be doing somethings we don't want him to do.

[useofcuriosity]

Like what?

[truealphascott]

[He sighed heavily.]

I don't know yet.

[useofcuriosity]

I could kill him, if that would help.

[truealphascott]

[He laughed a breath, but there was very little humor there.]

No, you know I wouldn't be okay with that. Maybe he's learned something important by coming back a second time.

[useofcuriosity]

Like what, exactly?

[truealphascott]

I don't know.

[It was mostly wishful thinking, let's be honest.]

I still can't believe no one told me about Allison.

[useofcuriosity]

If people thought you knew, why would they tell you?

That can't possibly be the only thing bothering you.

[truealphascott]

I don't know what is really bothering me.

[And that is also bothering him.]

[useofcuriosity]

Do you want me to check?

[truealphascott]

[He looked at Thomas blankly.]

Check what?

[useofcuriosity]

Check and see what's bothering you.

[truealphascott]

How would you do that?

[He's not sure he likes that idea.]

[useofcuriosity]

I can reach into your memories and see if there's something in particular bothering you. I can pull it forward, and then you'll know.

[truealphascott]

[Scott frowned, unsure.]

Can I really trust you to do that?

[useofcuriosity]

I did it for Bucky Barnes. He's my friend.

Of course, he did hit me with his robot arm. But that was reflexive, not on purpose.

[truealphascott]

Then I want you to say that about me first.

[useofcuriosity]

That you have a robot arm?

[truealphascott]

Riddle for you- who care about you and has helped save you on more than one occasion? Hint, you just said Bucky was one.
