”sure. doesn’t everyone?”[break][break]

the maher family were traitors – except the one that everyone was watching, waiting for him to do the same. only, he’d proven himself.[break][break]

to desmond, that was not enough to trust him with his life – which was precisely what something like this could turn into.[break][break]

”great. let me check this real quick.” he raised the back door of the truck, just enough to hear the beast within thrashing around, before lowering it again. ”good enough for me.”[break][break]

he went around to the driver’s side and pulled himself up into the seat. his ruby eyes focused on pulling out, but he was chatty. ”you know, i have a thing with doctors. it’s weird. i keep running into them. what kind are you?”[break][break]

it was a shame the majestic gold pokemon he’d heard about couldn’t be captured. still, desmond was more than glad to go after one of hoenn’s newest apocalyptic marvels, if only to see what it was capable of.[break][break]

he was punctual as ever, neatly dressed even in his field work attire. a persian slunk along at his side. upon their arrival, its eyes went to the lucario, and then to the zeraorac carefully – an unfamiliar creature.[break][break]

desmond identified the mythical pokemon in the corner of his eye with great curiosity. on the surface, his attention fell to the pretty violet mercenary he’d been paired up with.[break][break]

he smiled, approaching with an easy stride. “how’s it going? hope i didn’t keep you waiting too long.” after sliding off a black glove, he held out his hand. “i’m desmond.”[break][break]

he’d expected cyrus to prove himself yet again a creature of habit. one of those people who knew what they would order before looking at the menu, bound by their own rituals.[break][break]

even so simple, it made him smile to find another thing in common at the center of their dichotomy.[break][break]

“variety is the spice of life.”[break][break]

he paced closer to the door. perhaps it was evident that he’d leave soon. there was always business to attend to, somewhere.[break][break]

“don’t forget to pack something nice for when i convince you to go out on the town with me.”[break][break]

his fingers slid into his back pocket for a folded up brochure.[break][break][break]

it was a short conversation. on the surface, something to do with a get-together. he put in an order for tandoori combusken, and said he’d see them later.[break][break]

the phone slid back into his pocket. getting caught by surprise was something he’d learned to roll with.[break][break]

“yeah, i do,” he replied, glancing at the battered little office’s exterior. its walls were gnarled and streaked with grime; inner devastation obscured by a crack in the old window. “the flood really did a number.”[break][break]

turning back to the ranger, he smiled and tugged off a dark glove to offer his hand. “evan mclain.” his brow furrowed slightly. “is there something i can help you with?”[break][break]

look at me.[break][break]

as much as he wanted to build him up, desmond also wanted to tell cyrus what to do. he imagined it would be so much fun, that he barely refrained from pushing further in that moment.[break][break]

”i could make you say it,” he teased, almost softly. ”but i won’t, because i think you would probably melt into a puddle.”[break][break]

he relented with a sigh, though not without leaning into the path of his friend's fleeing gaze to reassure him, “don’t worry. you’re going to do great.”[break][break]

because cyrus was smart, careful, and more than a few things desmond wasn't, and for that, he believed in him wholeheartedly. his fingers went up to grip his shoulders and he shook him a little, before giving him a pat on the arm and pacing away again.[break][break]

”are you a macchiato or a cappuccino? my bet's on espresso.”[break][break][break]

the voice of a stranger nearly made him jump out of his skin. he stumbled in the boat, heart racing. a pokeball fell beneath the seat where he’d been setting down the corpse he’d dragged aboard.[break][break]

frantic, he pulled an empty pistol at the dark suit approaching on the dock. sharp leather shoes gleamed in the speckled moonlight through the rain. the ghost over his shoulder made the man's presence even more menacing.[break][break]

too menacing, desmond realized, to be law enforcement. no, he knew these people. had seen them here and there growing up, when they'd appeared to speak with his father or his uncle.[break][break]

the gun lowered. his chest heaved like someone who’d been outrunning the hounds of hades.[break][break]

“like hell i did. who are you?”[break][break][break]

a smile lingered at cyrus’s stroke of confidence before it predictably fell flat. this tendency was as frustrating as it was strangely endearing.[break][break]

desmond sighed. “match up?”[break][break]

they were there because they were needed. welcomed to stay because they’d done well, and because without kanto’s branch, team rocket would have been off the regional map. their sole total victory in petalburg was proof enough.[break][break]

it took sharp teeth, but also talent and expertise to win a war, and that was why they weren’t still going through the motions in kanto.[break][break]

“you just said you were good at what you do.” he approached the desk where cyrus leaned at its edge. “so own it. tell me you’re the best vet in hoenn.”[break][break]

”punishing me?” cyrus was trying to turn the tables on him. what a fun wildcard. desmond smirked, looking at him as though he were ridiculous for his assumption. ”what, do you think i’m going to be scrubbing the decks?”[break][break]

although there would be messes he’d inevitably find himself picking through in the wake of kyogre’s rage, it was not the kind of dirty work he’d been referring to.[break][break]

no longer pacing, he faced cyrus fully with a bemused pinch still in his brow.[break][break]

“they don’t call on me because i’m trouble, cyrus. they call because i’m good at what i do.” an insinuating smile flashed.[break][break]

forgotten history. so forgotten, that cyrus had stowed it in a secretive precious vessel, and remembered to take it along with him, packed aside all his most important materials.[break][break]

”mhm.” desmond watched him comb his fingers through his dark hair. it looked soft. ”you don’t have to apologize. keep your secrets, it makes you interesting.”[break][break]

he would find out eventually.[break][break]

pacing continued, an idle ambling like a cat in a cage when he’d inevitably lost cyrus’s attention to his work, however briefly. his phone was already in his hand when asked about his own obligations, and it was promptly pocketed again.[break][break]

”supply chain business, meeting the managers.” though further details were not confidential, they seemed unnecessary to share unless cyrus pressed for more. it was no big secret what he did. “probably some cleanup, too. turns out there are pros and cons to all this widespread devastation.”[break][break][break]

a dock nestled at the edge of mossdeep had become a place of suspicion. rumors of criminal activity. they were true, and despite the damage that had been done there by kyogre’s waves, traffic had practically tripled.[break][break]

the office on the dock was a mess, like much of the rest of hoenn following the war. ink bled through maps and charts, shipping manifests and bribery logs, even in their places of safe keeping.[break][break]

desmond paced around the room, wondering where to start. maybe it was best to just leave it for someone else and pretend he hadn’t seen it.[break][break]

”what would cyrus do…” perhaps shut down, he thought at first. then he sighed, realizing, ”cyrus wouldn’t have left homework at the office. shit.”[break][break]

on his way out the door for air, his phone rang. twice, as his eyes landed on someone unfamiliar not far from him.[break][break]

he picked up the phone, ”this is evan.”[break][break]

it was a very short call.[break][break]

there was not enough salt in the air to ward off the evil in those ruins. few things made desmond stop for long and feel his own fragile existence in such a way. he should have worn a mask, he thought. he didn’t leave, however, even though he hadn’t really meant to be there at all.[break][break]

a voice drew him out of his own head, and he looked up from a dusty iv bag with a sober expression at the stranger calling him over. there was something in charge about the no-nonsense question and gesturing, but desmond couldn’t immediately identify him from any photos he’d seen of the higher-ups.[break][break]

he walked closer.[break][break]

“saffron city,” he said. and though he figured this no-nonsense stranger probably wasn't looking for questions from him, he didn't refrain from asking, “you?”[break][break][break]

no mai tais, but desmond still smirked like the cat who got the cream. “fine. coffee it is.”[break][break]

he wondered what sort of horror stories cyrus could be referring to. thieves would be foolish to target him, though perhaps it was merely the negligence of others that concerned such a careful and organized individual as he was.[break][break]

metal winked in the light, and desmond glimpsed the locket again as it was pocketed with a quickness that could not go ignored.[break][break]

”good to be in control,” he teased about the movers. cyrus was smart for it though, really.[break][break]

homework was then quickly forgotten as he focused on the far more interesting item in the doctor’s lab coat.[break][break]

”so sentimental. was i not supposed to see that?” he stared at cyrus, having already taken note of all the markers of his fluster. twitching fingers, tense posture.[break][break]

after a second, he averted the pressure of his gaze, letting him off the hook with a couple steps from his bubble.[break][break]

”relax. i’m just messing with you. i won’t pry.”[break][break][break]
