the last time they'd seen each other, they found themselves on opposing sides of a cosmic war. he stood on the side of THE SEA KINGDOM, insistent that they'd be worth saving if he could convince them to accept diplomacy. she stood on the side he used to be on, but through time, he realized it was a terribly lonely side.[break][break]

he wonders, as he sits lakeside with his legs resting in the water, what side they'll find themselves on today. hopefully the same one.[break][break]

while she would have preferred to conduct this summons in the comfort of her lab, his presence within league headquarters is no longer welcome. she must adjust to fit his stipulations, whether she likes it or not...

[break][break]

it's how she finds herself lakeside, approaching with slow steps and darting eyes toward the water's surface. it's not the ocean, but she's uneasy all the same.

[break][break]

"hey, were you waiting long?"

[break][break]

she doesn't think so - the trip here had been rather instant - but timing has not and never will be her strong suit.

he can't hide the way he grins almost too easily at the first chance he gets, though it's unclear whether it's an effect she has on him, their dynamic in general, or something else entirely that has him at ease.[break][break]

"all fucking morning. what took you so long?"[break][break]

patting the spot on the ground beside him, he invites her over with a gesture.[break][break]

"you can join me, you know. i'm not going to bite."[break][break]

he borrows words annalise henderson said to him a few nights ago, unaware of it in the first place.[break][break]

without missing a beat, she returns the smile with ease. it's reminiscent of another time, another version of them lost in the past.

[break][break]

"i'm here, aren't i? having a little patience won't kill you, you know."

[break][break]

the seat beside him is taken after a moment of feigned consideration.

[break][break]

"true, your bark is worse than your bite anyway."

[break][break]

after submerging her legs into the lake, the water feels cool and foreign against her ankles. she resists its tempting paranoia, pushing the sensation from her mind to focus on him and the task at hand.

he clicks his tongue, chuckling.[break][break]

"when have i been known for my patience?"[break][break]

never, most likely, as he has never been associated with that word, only the opposite of reckless, impatient, and headstrong, all of which he still is but to a lesser extent, perhaps.[break][break]

shifting a little to accommodate her beside him, he tilts his head to look at her.[break][break]

"what if there's nothing on the agenda, hm? what if i just wanted to spend some time with my friend?"[break][break]

"never, though some find that charming, i guess."

[break][break]

not her, but someone...

[break][break]

he tilts his head toward her and she meets his eyes, holding them steady. she's searching for signs of something familiar, something akin to a ticking clock in the back of the mind. whether she finds it is indiscernible for now.

[break][break]

"then you would have called me here months ago."

[break][break]

he didn't and she won't fault him for that. they're just simply not close anymore.

she found him charming too, once upon a time, back when things were simpler and all he had to worry about was how to carve his path in hoenn after spending a lifetime fighting for kanto.[break][break]

"i wasn't myself months ago."[break][break]

he chuckles, moving on.[break][break]

"but speaking of months ago, back in april, we encountered alternate versions of the swords of justice in area zero. they were led by the drk triad, anomalies created to rid other anomalies, but we took care of them, no problem. but we all asked a question, and naturally, i asked about the red orb."[break][break]

a pause allows for the information to settle in. he can't remember if any of them ever wrote a report about it, but they must've given how KELDEO'S in league custody.[break][break]

"they told me to just make one."[break][break]

whatever charms that had worked on her before no longer find their mark, not after the things he's done, the spoken words existing like immovable objects between them.

[break][break]

and yet, she sits with him. she listens, a carefully constructed mask of neutrality held in place by slightly trembling fingers. the mention of alternate selves, however, results in an echoing crack cutting through porcelain. she tries, and faintly fails, to keep a hold on composure and instead focuses on the latter statement - it's the meat of this summons, after all.

[break][break]

"so, you'd like my help with creating the red orb, right?"

[break][break]

if he believes she can simply create it from her own hands, however, then he's surely mistaken.

"aren't you meant to be the scientist?"[break][break]

he laughs, shaking his head with his response that, no, he has no ideas on where to start. at least none grounded in reality as he lacks the knowledge to base them.[break][break]

"i always thought the easiest way was to retrieve one from another universe, but that seems unlikely, so the next best thing would be to replicate it."[break][break]

tugging at the collar of his shirt, he reveals a glimmer of the RED SHARD embedded in his skin.[break][break]

well, if he wants the scientist then it's what he shall get...

[break][break]

"retrieving one from another universe would require prior intelligence confirming that universe 1. has a full red orb and 2. where it's located. both would be increasingly difficult without multiple trips. we also don't have the means to travel to other universes as a region, but palkia would be able to."

[break][break]

the likelihood of her allowing that, however, is slim. she shifts to the next point instead of outright crushing his idea between her fingers, though they twitch at the thought.

[break][break]

"it would, yes, but..."

[break][break]

the reflection of the red orb's shard matches the glimmer in her own eyes. have they always been similar shades of red?

[break][break]

"there has been cases of things being grown within the body, usually for transplant organs, where the part is sown into the body and gradually feeds off one's own system and nutrients until ready to remove. i'm not sure if the logic will apply here, though."

[break][break]

she breaks away from the red shard, eyes darting up to meet his instead.

[break][break]

"or we remove all of the shards from your body and see if they naturally form back together over time."

he mulls over her suggestions.[break][break]

"i'm in a precarious situation, as you may be aware, of being indefinitely suspended yet not released of my service. it doesn't take a genius to realize why that is."[break][break]

continuing,[break][break]

"without me, they'll never be able to control groudon."[break][break]

and the main reason why he has control in the first place is because of the RED SHARDS in him. to remove them as illeana suggests would essentially be suicide—the quick demise of MATIAS SILPH. he could hear the cheers already.[break][break]

"i'll let you take a piece of it. you can study it and see what can be done."[break][break]

it's the only compromise he's willing to make at the moment.[break][break]

she hums, softly like an idle observer gaining new understanding of the work in front of her.

[break][break]

"well, your use would need to outweigh the risks you pose."

[break][break]

she does not need to remind him of his transgressions, of the unfortunate trail he's left behind. she's certain, by now, he has come to see the perspective for what it is.

[break][break]

"you control groudon, yes, but it also controls you."

[break][break]

at the cost of his life, in fact. which is worse, she wonders... quick death by the league or slow death by primal intoxication?

[break][break]

"very well - i'll take a shard and go over its composition to see what the best course of action is. it's more conclusive with all of the pieces, but i understand your reluctance."

he raises an eyebrow.[break][break]

"oh, professor. if i had all the pieces in me, then surely there'd be no need to create an orb in the first place."[break][break]

there would've been no need to accept the corrupted RED SHARD from Elisabeth Fiorelli either. he wonders why the realization never occurred to illeana reyes. perhaps this was a mistake.[break][break]

"no offense, but i need you focused if you're going to do this."[break][break]

but he has to give her a chance.[break][break]

"so, i'm only going to say this once: when i brought groudon back to hoenn, the red orb shattered in the process, leaving pieces of it seared into my flesh. the rest of it remains in land hoenn, though given its inhabitants and the fact that their leader, zac, died in the process, it's safe to assume they won't be easily retrieved anymore."[break][break]

his tone softens.[break][break]

"if i had the red orb to begin with, things would have turned out far differently."[break][break]

his words, whether he intends to or otherwise, act as a key being slotted into the ignition of a car. they turn and spark up a barely contained rage that seeps through cracks of an already crumbling mind.

[break][break]

she snarls, body quick to rise in a clamoring sort of way until she's no longer seated beside him but glowering down at him instead.

[break][break]

"i have a thousand other things to focus on - most of which include ensuring this universe stays whole."

[break][break]

her eyes narrow.

[break][break]

"i was intending to do this out of kindness and a hope for repaired friendship."

[break][break]

though, she will not tolerate ill mannered statements hurled at her assistance, not when the very fate of their world rests solely on her shoulders.

[break][break]

she angles her body as if she's going to leave, then, and her expression contorts into something more volatile.

[break][break]

"so unless you treat me with more respect, i suggest you find someone else that will tolerate this behavior because i surely won't."
