A word of warning, for anyone else who feels like popping out of nowhere to try surprising me: should you succeed, I can't make any promises that I won't do anything to retaliate.

That being said... [He sighs, looking like he's just barely managing to keep from rolling eyes.] Mr. Stark, you have my sincerest apologies for this morning. It won't happen again. [A beat.] If I can help it.

[orangetoughguy]

You have a violence problem.

[saidrepent]

The only problem I have is with people sneaking up on me.

[orangetoughguy]

It's all in the reflexes.

[saidrepent]

And some of us have finer reflexes than others.

[orangetoughguy]

Good to know you know your limits.

[saidrepent]

What's that supposed to mean?

[punchedhitler]

Tony, or Howard?

[orangetoughguy]

Some guys lose speed and flexibility with age. It's natural.

[saidrepent]

Tony. [He hasn't met the Howard.]

[punchedhitler]

What did you do?

[saidrepent]

Forgetting, once again, that age isn't exactly a factor for my physicality.

Besides, I seem to remember beating you in a race some months back...

[orangetoughguy]

That's different. I wasn't ready.

[Not really but |(]

[saidrepent]

Pardon my frankness, but I'm not sure I see how that's any of your business.

[saidrepent]

Sure you weren't. [Like shit he believes that, Freddy Newendyke.]

[orangetoughguy]

They don't train us for stuff like that at the academy.

[steleheart]

[ Curiously. ] So the jumping out at people doesn't usually happen?

[studmuffin]

If it's Isaac, you should probably just leave it.

[punchedhitler]

Maybe not, but Tony's my teammate, and you apologized in public.

[waitedforyears]

Did you shoot Tony Stark?

[fe_male]

You're lucky I'm such a forgiving guy.

[saidrepent]

Then maybe you should ask him.

[saidrepent]

Not usually, no. Odds are it's just a curse.

[saidrepent]

That might be helpful if I knew who Isaac is.

[saidrepent]

If I'd shot him, I don't think I'd be giving him a public apology.

[saidrepent]

I'm sure we're all lucky for lots of things, Mr. Stark.

[saidrepent]

They don't train you to chase perps across town?

[orangetoughguy]

They don't train us to climb walls and jump around like Spider-Man, asshole.

[saidrepent]

You ought to prepare yourself for any kind of occupational hazard, you know.

[orangetoughguy]

Where I'm from we have these black and whites on the city's dime, never fear putting one through the wringer.

[fe_male]

[ well that's just an annoying response. ]

You always this jumpy?

[saidrepent]

[At least he's not rolling his eyes yet. Wait for it...]

Just on curse days.

[waitedforyears]

You don't think shooting him would be a reason to apologise?

video;

[steleheart]

Oh good, I wasn't really looking forward to being constantly surprised.

[fe_male]

So, basically always.

[saidrepent]

If you want to generalize, sure.

[saidrepent]

I do, but I wouldn't make it a public apology.

[fe_male]

Why ever would I want to do such a thing as that?

[waitedforyears]

So what did you do, then?
