"very good." [break][break]
his pen scratches against the notepad, putting answers to ink with nothing more than a glance at the paper. if Zev Harcourt scrutinized it long enough, he'd see the stereotypical, illegible scrawl of a doctor is just some shorthand form of his words. [break][break]"and how is your relationship with the rest of the beasts?"[break][break]there is space made between one question and the next, bridged by answers and penstrokes. where silence lapses, another question emerges to fill the void. [break][break]"any trouble with authority?"[break][break]he looks up from his notepad, mouth quirked in a conspiratorial smile. [break][break]"it's understandable if you have — i've dealt with my fair share of difficult bosses throughout my time in team rocket. i think it may just be in our nature."[break][break]he shakes his head like it can't be helped.

a fake smile is insignificant in a setting such as this. no one wants to be viewed beneath a microscope. marcus imagines that Zev Harcourt , especially, must have distaste for him and the command to come here that had been disguised as an invitation. [break][break]"great."[break][break]he picks up his pen and rests it against the notepad, ink bleeding a small dot onto the page. his gaze remains on the beast.[break][break]"i'll start with something simple — how are you feeling? eating and sleeping normally?"

marcus listens, expression impartial. PETRA MONROE is not the first anxiety-addled disaster to walk into his office, but her circumstances are different than most. he has no pity for her, a girl who probably now insists that she got mixed up in the wrong crowd. she knew. she is just cowardly and selfish, abandoning her organization once it no longer suits her. [break][break]but he knows how to play a part. his brows knit together ever so slightly as she starts to cry. undeserved concern manifests in the angles of his face as he puts a hand on the tissue box on his desk and slides it towards her. [break][break]"it isn't fair," he agrees, reaching into his drawer and taking out a pokeball. his MUNNA appears, floating idly above his desk. the small pokemon tries to reach its psychic fingers into the woman's mind to quiet her panic with a CALM MIND. it knows how sniveling grates on its trainer. [break][break]he turns his attention back to the computer, letting the sharp sound of mouse clicks fill the deliberating silence. [break][break]"i'll give you a script. something for anxiety, and a sleep aid if you'd like. there is a wyndon pharmaceuticals down the street — they can fill it for you as soon as i send it out."[break][break]he turns his full attention to her. [break][break]"it will only be a thirty-day script. a follow-up is necessary for medications such as this, to be certain that they're working properly for you. you can schedule another appointment with the boy at the front desk."[break][break]she will get the peace of mind she's crying for, just on his terms and on her compliance.

the critique is received impassively, closer to a slap on the wrist than a closed fist. marcus can only give THEO BECKETT conjecture for now, but he accepts the shortcoming with a nod. [break][break]he follows after the underboss, the steadiness of his footfalls coming to a stop as the other man turns back to address him.[break][break]"very well. i'll speak with him, then."

opposed to his meeting with BARNABY FINCH , marcus requests Zev Harcourt to meet him at his office in lilycove. he has done some research on the beast ahead of time, mostly through whatever channels THEO BECKETT makes available to him. blue-light references stare at him through his computer screen, but a blank note pad sits in front of him. [break][break]caden maher lets zev into his office. the man strikes him as unremarkable — nothing like the impression he thought he'd get from the avatar who is high and above the rest. [break][break]he stands up from his desk, offering his hand. [break][break]"beast harcourt," he greets. "my name's dr. marcus kotov. thank you for coming."[break][break]he gestures toward a chair — "please have a seat." — then returns to his own. [break][break]"i'd like to ask you a few questions, if that's alright with you?"

marcus misses that ephemeral moment in time when he and THEO BECKETT had been the same rank in this organization. no longer could he cross the room and shake him by the shoulders and call him an idiot for catching the unwanted attention of the man he calls their biggest asset — and threat, perhaps. [break][break] but things are different now. this isn't kanto. he stays rooted where he stands, a silent, measured sigh slipping from his lips. [break][break]"you showed your hand too early."[break][break]he speaks without chastising, flat and observational.[break][break]"if she truly is his weakness, then use her. endear rocket to her. make her feel like family."[break][break]something easier said than done. marcus has no idea how strong her connection to team rocket is, nor how compelling her words are against her husband's wants. [break][break]"if she has his ear, she can be your mouthpiece. he will consider what she says, presumably."

"thank you for coming, admin bee."[break][break]they meet under better circumstances, but not a better setting. the sterility of sootopolis general hospital doesn't lend to the same comforts his lilycove city office does, but he has far more resources here. sequestered into a pale-walled psychiatry office, marcus finally — unknowingly — meets the man he had treated in that medical tent. [break][break] "underboss beckett requested for me to ask you a few questions about your avatarship, if you'll allow."[break][break]though, assuming THEO BECKETT has done his due diligence during negotiations, BARNABY FINCH 's consent takes the shape of him coming to the hospital at all. [break][break]"but first — congratulations are in order. it takes someone truly remarkable to be acknowledged by a legendary pokemon as you were."

marcus narrows his eyes against the low light, making out something that might have resembled the structure giada morgan is talking about. [break][break]"it's strange to think those individuals might have been like us at some point."[break][break]churches, living quarters, cities. despite the two of them standing in an alien world, there's something decidedly human about this place.[break][break]"agreed."[break][break]he feels through the dark until he finds the wall, then a handle, then the wall gives way into a door to a back alley.

damage control?[break][break] his eyes alight with intrigue. THEO BECKETT has made some costly mistake — and he says as much in the beat that follows. he weaponized the wrong person. he miscalculated. [break][break]and he never once thought to consult marcus until it's too late. he doesn't begrudge him for it; most of his patients wait until their problems are unbearable to seek him out. [break][break]he knows of the beast in broad strokes, just as any other rocket, but he can infer enough from the underboss's concern of him. [break][break]"you threatened his paramour."[break][break]not quite a question, but prying for more information nonetheless.

"not cross. he's too volatile."[break][break]before his avatarship, jayden cross would have been his first choice for these kinds of things. quiet, agreeable, willing to do whatever if it means furthering rocket's goals. now, whenever his patron is around him, marcus feels disconcerted. they don't function like the milder partnerships he's observed — their relationship is easier explained by superstition than neurosis. [break][break]"as for the others ... yes, i think they could yield results."[break][break] so long as they — and their patrons — allow the testing. he crouches down as THEO BECKETT speaks, his voice undercut by the sound of a zipper opening. a hand sifts through the contraband, confirming.[break][break] the topic of control rears its ugly head once more. marcus breathes through his nose. he can still feel the phantom fingers squeezing his jaw for the sacrilege he'd spoken a moment before. [break][break]does he really care what i think? he wonders, tipping his head back to look up at the underboss through the dim. or does he want to hear that he's right and she's wrong?[break][break]"different people respond to different methods," he says, vague, as he bows his head and tugs the zipper closed. "our methods work well for the majority, but avatars know they're stronger than most. fear doesn't work on people who don't feel like they have much to be afraid of anymore."[break][break]he straightens, hoisting the strap of the duffel bag over his shoulder. [break][break]"my advice? be adaptable. speak to them, learn what they're susceptible to, and tailor your methods to that."

marcus wants to stay in the heady languor that always comes after, but he returns to work obligingly as THEO BECKETT does. he blinks once, twice, then clarity returns. pressing a hand against the support beam against his back, he centers his weight back onto his feet. [break][break]the underboss's voice breaks the silence as his flashlight halos their hidden cache at last. marcus doesn't talk out of turn this time, even if he thinks avatarships are mired in something supernatural and beyond scientific understanding. [break][break]"when i first arrived here, i attempted to get a scan of delarosa's brain."[break][break]it's not new news; he had reported the incident after the beast had left the mri room a disaster. [break][break]"i'll try again. with a more agreeable avatar this time."[break][break]he pulls the duffel bag from an obscuring shelf. he pauses, consideration clouding his features. [break][break]"but it's more important to you to know what they're thinking, isn't it? i'll try talking to them. perhaps i can get some insight you can use."

this is how it is meant to be between he and THEO BECKETT . comfort. pain. forever pushing each other up against the boundaries of their relationship but never quite transforming it. his mouth curls into an easy smile, skin dimpling beneath the fingers gripping his jaw, and keeps his eyes on the underboss's face. he doesn't have to look down to know what is being asked of him.[break][break]he doesn't favor the dusty, warehouse, doesn't favor the selflessness of performing — but it's theo, and he is afforded a side of marcus that others are not.[break][break]
"as you wish."[break][break]his voice is rough, heady with desire. [break][break]he kneels.[break][break] he provides.

PETRA MONROE is agreeable, allowing her interview to come to an end without much coercion on his end. he's sure she'd prefer to sit here and talk about hoenn's weather until he grows weary and the fairy lock loses its luster, but his patience thins the longer she sits before him. a traitor to their cause, cornered like a trapped rattata. [break][break]"no," his interest narrows on the cigarette glowing on the tip of her lips, then unfurls once more to take in the face behind it. "i only want to talk."[break][break]silence disperses like smoke as his attention divides. he turns his face toward the computer screen. [break][break]"you're here for pills," he notes, bereft of his usual decorum. he hardly spares her a glance as he finally takes in her full patient notes, however little caden maher extracted over the phone. "what for?"

"then you'd better keep them happy," marcus says, voice remaining level as mint frost brushes off the comment with a laugh. any treatments to handle legendary pokemon-induced psychosis would be novel and unpleasant.[break][break]"good."[break][break]his porygon beeps, parsing its own map of AREA ZERO by pinging league drills and various devices further down in the chasm. [break][break] "there's no better time to familiarize yourself, now is there?" he smiles, a quirk of his lips in the crystalline light of their makeshift hideout. mint has made it this far and been through reported hell — the worst of his affliction is staring at him through the rearview mirror, now.
