[jumpthegun]

Heard back from Mr. Barton. They're not going to be doing anything with the information from my notes, no hunting people down or anything like that.

How are you feeling about our new Mr. Belfry?

@ASolomons; audio

[devoutish]

I hope the lot of them clash horribly and spend all their time trying to arrest each other.

[jumpthegun]

[Entirely deadpan:]

That would be unproductive, Alfie.

[devoutish]

But it would be very funny.

[Beat. Okay, fine, you can have a serious answer.]

I think he's gonna learn that his methods are pointless here, or he's gonna make all our lives difficult by trying to neutralize everyone he thinks might cause him trouble.

[jumpthegun]

[John is quiet for a moment, deciding how much he wants to tell the other man.]

He's another one of the ones I know. Not as well as the Avengers, but I know him. The Joker is his nemesis. I'm sure they'll keep each other busy. The Joker's probably gonna get more violent with him being here, though.

[devoutish]

What else do you know about him?

[jumpthegun]

I don't know which... version of him this is. Generally, he's a lot less nice than most other heroes when he's got his suit on. But he's still a hero and cares about helping people. He just doesn't mind playing the 'bad guy' if that's what he has to do.

[devoutish]

Bit of a hypocrite, then? The sort who thinks doing bad things is only all right when he it?

[jumpthegun]

Yes. He is. He lives with that because more people are protected because of it.

[devoutish]

Does he admit it, then? I can stomach that better than the self-righteous types.

[jumpthegun]

Depends on the version. I dunno about this one. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. He's bloody pushy, though, ordering me about for medications.

[devoutish]

Are you really too polite to tell him to fuck off? You're a doctor. Is he?

[jumpthegun]

I'm not and I did.

[More politely than that.]

He kept on about it trying to order me. But he wants to help, I didn't see verbally slamming him into the floor because he's a rude git would do much good. I can deal with those, as you know.

[devoutish]

Did your Sherlock tell you how to do your doctoring?

[jumpthegun]

[He's talking about you, Alfie. But he'll let it pass.]

No. Of course not. Sherlock knew how to deal with dead bodies, not living ones, and he still needed my advice at times.

[At very rare times.]

[devoutish]

Well, I'm gonna tease him a bit.

[jumpthegun]

Have you seen the other people trying to tease him? Didn't go much of anywhere.

[And your idea of 'teasing' isn't fun most of the time, Alfie. It's frustrating and annoying.]

[devoutish]

[But Watson, it's fun for him!]

I'll ask him if he needs help. Yeah? Frequently. Remind him that he's a little fish here, just like the rest of us.

What do you think he'll have to say about the gang leader doing supply runs?

[jumpthegun]

[Alfie, why do you do these things? You make his life harder when he admits to being your friend and ally.]

Alfie... [He sighs, exasperated.] Have you got a pathological need to jab the hornet's nest with a stick? You're gonna get stung one of these days for being a git.

I think he'll roll his eyes and dismiss you as a non-issue for him until you make yourself an issue.

[devoutish]

You don't think he'll drive himself up the fucking wall trying to figure out what my horrible, nasty ulterior motive is?

-- You wish I'd just not talk to him at all, is that it?

[jumpthegun]

I wish you'd play nice and not purposefully antagonize people you don't need to. [Well, if this isn't every other argument with Sherlock...] What's telling him you're a gang lord going to do for anything? D'you want to watch his head spin?

[devoutish]

Yeah, I do. It'll be good for him.

[jumpthegun]

[Enjoy your irritated silence, Alfie. John is scowling at his communicator, but he's not actually... saying to stop it. He's fairly certain he's lost this particular battle.]

[devoutish]

I won't say anything too awful, mate. Don't worry.

[jumpthegun]

If he comes after you for being a dick, I'm not stopping him.

[He's absolutely going to try to stop him, but he can pretend.]
