But you're hurting me from inside of my head

[Filtered to the Legion of Doom, Edward Nigma, and pretty much everyone he's contacted in regards to this post]

I think our friend Nigma has, once again, neglected to consider the finer points of telepathy...as, perhaps, all of you may have. Namely, if he's asking you all for ways to defeat a telepath, then he doesn't have any now. So he's blithely led me to being aware of each and every one of you.

I know who you are. I know everything you've cared to pass on to Edward Nigma. For your own sakes, I'd suggest questioning the risks you're taking, aligning yourselves with a self-proclaimed genius who can't even wrap his mind around the basics of mind-reading. Look how badly he's stumbled right out of the gate, exposing every one of his allies. Is this really the horse you want to bet on? Because, if he suddenly becomes more well-equipped or more competent than he is now...

I'll know who to blame.

What are the terms?

[thenorthernwall]

Leave Ken Hidaka alone. In fact, leave all my people alone.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

And in exchange, I get what? Your protection as a member of your resistance doesn't exactly instill me with confidence, given how it's helped people like Hidaka and your husband so far.

[thenorthernwall]

...Name your terms, and I'll make it happen.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

An open offer...? Interesting. Of course, most of the things I want are things you can't promise.

Give me time. Until then, keep Hidaka off my back. Whenever we run into each other, he's more combative than I am, and I'm not going to refuse to defend myself for your sake.

[thenorthernwall]

He's already been dealt with. We'll talk the terms over when you have some for me. Until then, I'd like a truce.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you would. All the benefits of a deal with me without having to do anything for me up-front does sound ideal...for you. I don't see any profit in it for me, of course.

I'll act as I please until you come through for me, Major General. Not before.

[thenorthernwall]

Then name your damn terms. Ken's not an issue. He'll do what I order him to do.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

I'll tell you once I've decided what they are. As I said, most of the things I want are well outside your power.

[thenorthernwall]

Then let's get some collateral on the table. I don't want Ken fucked with at all. You don't seem to be understanding the situation.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

Try it this way, then. What can you offer me?

[thenorthernwall]

Immunity. Information. Physical protection.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

Immunity to what, might I ask?

[thenorthernwall]

From attack by any of my numerous allies. Or all of us. And if it comes to it, from Grady and the Smiths.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

And you actually think you can guarantee that?

[thenorthernwall]

As long as I am here.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

Maybe you can control your allies, but you know damn well you can't even protect your own from the Smiths and Grady.

[thenorthernwall]

We haven't been caught or punished yet.
