“Fuck,” SYx muttered, “Well your friend needs some life lessons about negotiation tactics and how to give threats,” talking more to the ground than to Lyn. He’d grown comfortable enough around the other villain over the years to let her see the real him. To see him weaker and frustrated. There were things he still would never trust her with… but that number had dwindled in ways that scared him some days.
Biting his finger as she listed the powers, he reasoned, “So cubing won’t work on him… my protection will be the same I use on you dad, so that shouldn’t be an issue…” he tapped his chin, “What’s old Jimmy Boy think of him anyway? I thought he’d take it harder than I did finding alternates?”
Especially as it sounded like this guy was somehow the evil version, which was a worrisome thought. For all their fights and disagreements… Jimmy wasn’t the worst thing. They were killers and Syx really didn’t trust them… but they were manageable for the most part and Jimmy did have morals. He could come to some agreements with the man.
Lyn nodded slowly as Syx went through his thought process out loud, waiting with an arch of her brow. She shifted her weight onto one foot as her tail shifted behind her in a rather graceful curling motion before stilling again. She crossed her arms over her chest, the action opening the deep V of her coat a bit more to show the white lace top she had.
“Well.. he reacted bout as well as ya can expect. Calls him Double Bubble a lot. I wasn’t there for tha actual talk.. Dad didn’t wanna show me in case shit went ta hell-” it was fairly often that Jim used Emma as his secret wild card.. several people knew who she was, and what group she was a part of.. but her powers? Those were either wildly dramatized or undermined… nobody truly knew just what Emma was able to.. Syx included. She had never went full on with him, and likely never would unless things truly went to hell.
“Tha guy is a bit of a fucknut from what Dad says.. but there is at least enough of a interest in what tha dude does ta work with ‘im,” she mused, though she was very careful with what she said. Everything she said was true.. but there was far more to it than just that… and it was hinted at as Emma mentioned Jim’s interest in it
Syx stopped his pacing and narrowed his eyes at her while he thought through what she had and hadn’t said, “They have overlapping business but not exactly overlapping. And in Jim doesn’t like him much, then he’s either annoying or even too crass for the drug lord.”
He mused out loud, knowing full well that Psycho would complain about him using the drug lord’s name so casually.Though they both did it to annoy the other, “But not enough to want to fight him.” Syx sighed and crossed his arms, “Great,”
He wasn’t really surprised, Psycho was a very cautious crime boss. Which was the main reason the man spent so little time in jail. He avoided doing anything directly whenever possible which was why he employed people like Destruction Worker.
