Oh, man. Jaime had forgotten how grating this guy could be. He huffed, fighting the urge to facepalm or just outright punch him.
"You got nothing, man," he insisted, jabbing a finger at him. "In fact, the only person in this entire universe who even knows what you're about is me. No cronies. No motherships." The finger retracted, tapping at his own temple. "But all I gotta do is ping the Network and a buttload of folks a lot less considerate than me'll know what you're about. Save yourself the beatdown and maybe try behaving? Because you really don't have any better choice."
The hand dropped to his side, then settled on his hip as he pondered over this...this...whatever it was. Did other superheroes have to chat it up with their more-or-less archenemies like this? What other choice did he have? Besides beating the guy to a pulp, which wouldn't do at the moment. Like it or not, the Negotiator wasn't guilty of anything in this dimension. And if it could stay that way, then...all the better, right?
He sighed. Man...
"This could be one of those change-of-heart things, you know," he said, a little flat. "A chance to see what it'd be like if you worked with humans instead of playing them for saps and plotting their downfall."
