[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.]

[devoutish]

If he comes after me for that, he'll be more of a dangerous criminal than I am here, won't he.

[jumpthegun]

[He hates it when you do the thing of pulling a half-threatening joke to its extreme logical conclusion.]

I dunno. Depends on what he's planning to do. Smack you upside the head? I'd say you've earned that, yeah.

[devoutish]

All right, he's free to do that. That's not gonna bother me much.

[jumpthegun]

Does that mean you're open to the opportunity for others, then? Because I know this doctor bloke...
