rustboro. night time. the roof top.

leon is an enigma. a man missing an arm yet able to relay such confidence from afar. it makes fernando curious, careful. it's hours until the operation and he's here to inspect the vantage point. he still can't believe that suppressive fire can be gauranteed on such a small target, from such a distance away. it won't be until tonight that fernando gets to watch him in action, if at all. ultimately, this operation hinges on the fact that his hypothesis is correct. it's equally as possible that nothing will happen. they won't know until it happens.

a squawk from above alerts them that they're not alone. apparently they're not the only one that seeks to deliver death from above. but that's okay, this time fernando has company. this time, he's prepared.

leon watches the other man for a moment.

tensing of a scrutinizing jaw. calculating eyes. an air of confidence that comes from needing to be right. all or nothing gambles. leon knows the type. he knows it well.

the illusionary veil drops. tendrils of shadows falling away to reveal leon separated from fern by mere feet. a cigarette sits between wind battered lips. there's a tiredness that lingers in his gaze. a weariness.

the cadet's eyes linger on the street below. lifeless. quiet. the stillness of it all captures something in leon. he holds tight. "it's cold," he says, words lacking color. filled with as much life as the street below.

nicotine takes the edge off. a deplorable habit with a worse alternative. leon puts the thoughts to the back of his mind. it needed to be clear. he needed to know what happened next was him. truly him.

still.

his hand shakes.

fernando doesn't bat an eye at the comment. idle chatter doesn't do him good. his attention is forthright. this vantage point is peerless. should the day come where fernando is on the other end of the scope, he needs to be ready. he needs a safeguard, a counter. there's no greater blessing then being given a chance to dissect this armament. with proper measures, this moment will become ammunition. another bullet in the gun for fernando's log book. another detail that attributes to his prep time.

when the fowl strays too close it's shot down with impunity. the ZAP CANNON doesn't miss. leon isn't the only sniper in the league. the precision of porygon's LOCK-ON cannot be matched. the only problem is the distance and scarcity of the shot and shooter. fernando calls the noctowl into a spare pokeball. he doesn't intend to leave its fried husk shriveled on the roof. no, it's his duty to leave the place clean. as clean as when they found it.

"do you enjoy it?"

he stays away from the edge. the wrong updraft can spell disastrous. being left alone with a stranger also feeds into his paranoia. it's good to be prudent.

"or is it another task? a measure of skill?"

silence doesn't bother the cripple. he relishes it. a moment to think. a moment of peace. nicotine laced smoke fills his lungs. breathing deeply, it's scratches an itch. but it's not enough. smoke expels from his nostrils, a steady gaze lifting upwards.

the peace wasn't meant to last.

a shifting of loose concrete rattles next to them. the unseen force of the zoroark rising in the air, thick mane lifting behind it like a crimson shadow. her eyes gloss over a deep magenta, a claw swallowed in thick ink-like tendrils that bleed red and obsidian. DARK PULSE makes contact with a sickening crunch against the attacking avian.

by the time she hits the concrete again, the unconscious bird lie in her tight grip. the dark-type holds it, eyes looking at leon expectantly. "place it where it won't be found." the bipedal fox nods, shifting her attention for a moment towards the cerulean haired man as if to gauge his reaction, then swiftly disappears.

"neither," he breathes. "i loathe it." taking the cigarette from his mouth, he shook the cinders away, watching as the breeze carried them out of sight.

"what of you?"

the ZAP-CANNON is a mistake. the sudden discharge gives away their position. it's enough to attract the attention of pokemon that have no business being here. from the void, two electric pokemon come out, crackles of electricity radiating off their bodies as they enter the building's rooftop. there's no time to rest. no further word has to be said for the porygon to attack. a punishing TRI-FORCE is enough to batter the electabuzz into submission. thunder may not prove effective but fire and ice are different. just enough of a difference for fernando to catch.

"i do it--" a pause, time to think before he answer. fernando uses it carefully. "--because i have to."

simple enough, no?

the electrical discharge rests uneasily in the air. an invisible layer only evidenced through the hairs that rise on his arm. scampering up a large metal pipe, the raichu approaches them with an air of curiosity. leon considers it for a moment. an instinct to approach and be gentle. the sentiment is squashed with fern's caustic approach towards the other creature. it reacts without impulse, lightning dancing around it's small form in preparation.

it's enough for her to act. she emerges from the illusion, rushing the now confused electric mouse. her fist meets contact, form slowly U-TURNing around and absorbing itself inside the crimson shower. instantly, bo emerges, string already under tension as he releases a SOUL SHACKLE. it's enough to keep it at bay, squirming to break free. tears corner it's eyes as leon approaches.

"fear not. you're safe now." the tap of an orb against it's head solidifies the engagement. he remains there, a rage rising in his chest. fernando's words ring in a memory. 'because i have to.' he stands but doesn't turn, bo perching near the door-way.

"because you have to?"

his tone is devoid of emotion. colder than the frigid chill of the wind around them.

"that's an excuse used by weak men. men without conviction."

'dangerous men'... but leon held his tongue.

there's no way to measure the man before him. every chance that provides him some insight, some reason to his actions, is met with an elusive cliffhanger. who is leon shepard? if fernando cannot comprehend the man himself then he'll have to probe deeper. beyond interaction, beyond the curious questions that he doesn't dare ask a man with one arm-- no, he'll need something more. fernando will employ his own version of a background check. the only difference is that he's more thorough. privacy is a privilege for the naive.

"i suppose that makes me both then, doesn't it?"

the squabble in the background is ignored. the passive sound of pokemon battling comes to an erupt end, almost as soon as when it started. as long as his pokemon don't find themselves cornered, fernando has full confidence that his only participation will be to clean up the limp body of whatever they handle. another pokeball is used and the rooftop remains as clean as how they found it.

"how unfortunate."
