Fight to the DEATH! [rp with not_a_shadow]

There's a Nexus Gym. Did you know that? Mayday didn't know that, until the day she stumbled upon it after putting in the wrong PINPoints. Ever since, she comes there to train occasionally - the place is usually pretty empty, though decently equipped, and she's stopped wondering why. (Most of the time ( Read more... )

Enzan had been seriously tempted to show up in his most Isamu-ish duds (to be fair, most of his clothes these days tended to resemble something Isamu would wear, with less holes in them), but judging from the look in May's eyes, he decided to play it safe, and showed up wearing plain slacks and a button-up red shirt.

"I'm going to regret this, aren't I?"

It is for the best Enzan didn't get even to those terrible, terrible urges. Who knows what would have happened if he did. Glaring probably would've been involved. In liberal amounts. Instead, Enzan will get a bemused face for his troubles. Haha, he's like a tinier, tidier, Isamu~

"Of course not! My Dad's a good guy and, for once, I can bring a guy he won't attempt to kill with a deathglare." This would be reassuring if she didn't say it with a grin.

Ding dong~

My, what a one-legged man that is in the doorway.

"I knew you had something planned - "

The advantages of being short means he could duck behind people like May and almost be hidden. This is an advantage he's using now.

Enzan doesn't really have good experiences when it came to parents.

May will give him a Look. She hasn't seen someone this wigged about her parents since, well... since Reilly, really.

"Honestly. He's not going to bite. He's not a real spider, youknow," she mutters to Enzan. But before she can get too deep into teasing, Enzan will find a hand reaching out to him. (The other hand is clutching a cane, of course.)

"Hello. I'm Peter Parker. And you are hopefully not my daughter's boyfriend, because I really would hate to have to send her down to the station?"

"...Dad!"

"You would do that to your own daughter? Really?" Enzan leaned out from behind May, blinked at the hand for a moment, and then shook it.

America. Duh. He knew how to shake hands.

"That's both horrible and awesome."

"Of course. I must uphold the law, no matter what the horrible personal cost might be." Oh yes, Peter Parker is still a colossal dork in his old age. As if you had to ask.

He gives Enzan's hand a firm shake (but not too firm, because that could hurt). "So who are you, really? May told me you were a friend, but..."

"Um. I'm Enzan. Enzan Ijuuin." Enzan's grip is pretty firm too, even though he almost forgot how to shake in the first place.

"I, ah, want to be a cop, and your daughter told me you worked with the law. She said you'd be a pretty good person to talk to about it.""

"Well, come on in, please." Peter will shove you, gently, into that doorway if he has to. Hopefully he won't have to.

"I'm not sure I'm the best person in the world to ask, but I'd be willing to help you out if you have any questions."

He's also willing to get you a drink. Even if you don't want one. Witness him walk to the kitchen with the, uh, not-so-proportionate speed of a spider, these days.

Enzan entered, if only to prevent being shoved into the house, and shot May a look. What was he supposed to ask about?

"Well, it's always good to ask around, right?"

May shoots him a look like she's trying to say 'you're the one who had all the questions!' with her eyes. Since eyes don't work like mouths, this of course will meet with failure.

"Um! Well, Enzan's interested in cops and superheroes, and since you did a few cases and worked with Spider-Man for so long..."

'..and was told our secret and brought him home and because I am an idiot please forgive me', she tells Peter with her eyes.

"Um. Yeah." Enzan managed to look sheepish. "I'm not really used to superheroes, so I was curious. And, well, she said you could tell me your experiences with working with the law too."

Suddenly he knew why May had that look in her eyes.

spiderdad September 2 2008, 04:45:23 UTC
And now Peter understood that look in her eyes as well! He'd deal with it later.

"I can tell you a lot about law enforcement, and... well, some-" Here, he takes a moment to glare at May. "Some things about Spider-Man. Just because I photographed the guy doesn't mean he told me everything. What's part of law enforcement interests you? Or- or the spandex clad. Unless your answer to that question is spandex, I can't help you there."

Ha ha ha, whoops. Looks like there would be some fireworks when he left. He relaxed visibly; Mr. Parker clearly wasn't anything like his father.

"Well, just the basics, really. I'm interested in how your system approaches superheroes, but that probably has to do not being used to the idea."

"You don't mean the legality of superheroes, do you?" Peter shoots a worried look at May. But still, after making coffee (in Spider-Mugs, because he is a dork like that), Peter sits down and slides one to Enzan.

"Well, on my side of things, we don't really tolerate vigilantes. What they do is still illegal, though after having exited this long, some of them have built up... credibility. I guess that's the best way to put it? What I'm trying to say is that we do - occasionally - work with superheroes. Despite the illegality of what they do." Peter takes a sip. "We can't be everywhere, so the help's appreciated, but there's problems with it - most vigilantes just offer us a criminal and no evidence, for example."

"What? They don't even leave you with evidence or anything?"

He would be hanged if he ever did that on Wayne's watch. Quick preventions of muggings aside, first Wayne would kill him, and then he'd let Comm. Gordon kill the rest of him.

Peter chuckles at Enzan's obvious surprise. Oh, this kid has so much to learn about what a pain in the... uh, posterior, working with superheroes can be!

"They do it all the time. It's not that they want to hinder investigations - why else would they bring these guys to the police in the first place? - but many of them don't know any better. Your average superhero, after all, is usually someone in their teens to early twenties who doesn't have a lot of experience with actual policework. At least the paperwork side of it."

Peter rubs the back of his neck, fighting to keep a sheepish expression off his face as he adds, "Well... and a lot of the ones who should know better often forget." There's a Significant Glance at his daughter, but oh, he's guilty of it too.
