[ The silence hangs for a few moments as Nelson both waits for Gil to say something and tries not to get any more upset; finally he stands, adjusting his tie a little absently but hastily. ]

I should probably go. I didn't come by to fight with you, Gilbert, I-- [ A beat. ] hope that you're feeling a little better now.

[ Nelson looks at him, expression still a little frustrated but also confused. ]

Did I know what?
retropolis: (bitter drunk)

I haven't even seen him in a week, Gilbert!

[ Nelson waves his hand in mild impatience. ]

He's either crime-fighting or-- [ "Out with boys," he wants to say but doesn't. ] No, I don't know what he's doing! God knows what!
retropolis: (oh no it's change)

[ Nelson stares at him, mouth open slightly in surprise.

Though probably not over what Gil thinks.

You saw him?
retropolis: (he never even called)

[ Nelson walks over to him, breathing quickly. ]

Where? When? What day? What happ-- tell me. Gilbert, please.

[ Stopping some criminal. Somehow that relieves Nelson slightly, though not completely. Hooded Justice is at least still around and all right (or was, last Friday), but the why still resounds heavily. ]

Tell me everything, did you... speak to him? Was the criminal-- [ He pauses. ] He survived, didn't he?

What happened to H-- [ He stops himself, swallowing and shaking his head. ] I mean, that's good that the man didn't-- that... I'm sure there'd have been a story in the papers if...

[ He gets to the point: ]

Did he say anything?
retropolis: (invades your personal space)

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-07-18 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
Was he angry? Especially angry, I mean, he's always more violent when--

[ He bites his lip. ]

Why didn't you tell me sooner?
retropolis: (time to be overdramatic)

[ Nelson's eyebrows furrow and he bites his lip a little harder. ]

I know he's-- he's twisted, there's something wrong with him. [ "Sick in the head," Nelson had said once, but he isn't sure anymore. ] He won't kill someone for just no reason, Gilbert. If anyone can handle him it's me.

Well--

Some of them. Not death, mind you. I wouldn't-- [ He clears his throat. ] There are all kinds of criminal lowlifes out there, sometimes an example needs to be made. That's all I meant.
retropolis: (internal shrieking)

[ Nelson goes a little red. ]

D-don't twist my words around, Gilbert. Hooded Justice goes much farther than I-- I'm not saying he's always right.
retropolis: (ℳ | rude ozymandias)

action!!

[personal profile] retropolis 2013-07-18 11:23 am (UTC)(link)
I hope he's all right.

[ Which "he" could he mean!! He steps back slightly, glancing away. ]

Thank you for letting me know, I-- [ Swallowing. ] Should probably try to find him myself. Before he hurts anyone else too badly.
retropolis: (ℳ | life hard)

[ Nelson wrinkles his nose. ]

I can take it. It isn't as if I've never been punched before. You don't understand, Gilbert -- if I give up on him he's got no one else.
