"Aren't I clever. Why am I your point person for this?"

They shrug. "I just happened to run into you today. Also, I like tinkers, and the fact that you didn't try to convince me to join was a big plus."

"It still means that we'd have to know when and to expect the mover to pop in and start stabbing and expect to be able to get him to do it where we wanted him, somewhere clear. Even if everyone were on board with it."

"Yeah. Are all of Windflower's poisons deadly? No stun-poisons or anything like that?"

"Far as I know, but she's new and hates her power."

No comment.

"Okay, other than that, limiting his visibility is the obvious thing, probably. Also putting trackers on him, maybe if we could predict where he was about to land...? Or maybe one of your robots, a very fast and discreet one, could perhaps attach itself to him and try to tranq him?"

"I did land a tracker on him last time but it didn't help that much. Maybe I could rig something up that could do gaze-tracking through his mask and tell where he'd land and have something ready there but it'd need split-second timing."

"Hmm, maybe a tracker designed to deal with him, hooked up to lot of people's visors or comms or something so everyone knows where he and his copies are all the time."

"Transit's the only one who wears something with an HUD that's me-friendly. Armsmaster might be able to figure out an interface, I guess."

"Can't you design one for the other heroes?"

"Branding doesn't like it and I'm not particularly good at 'inconspicuous' to get around that, and it's hard for other people to get along with my tech anyway."

"Why?" Pause. "To all the things."

"Interferes with costume flow and recognizability, not my specialty, not my specialty."

"...'interferes with costume flow and recognizability' sounds like a really bad reason not to do a thing."

"I presume that one would be in your 'cons' list."

"No comment."

They giggle. "Right."

Patrol, patrol.

"He's my dad."

"Yeah."
