I am fine with that - I would expect no less, given the tensions building from certain posts made recently.

He can have someone with him if he likes - I would suggest Stephanie Brown or Saul Goodman. I simply wish to speak to him about this entire mess, calmly, without it ending up on the damn network again.

He can have his lawyer if he requests him.

I'll see about setting it up.

Alright. I do not want mine with me, however. Nor do I want her knowing, if you could.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

It's up to you of course.

I am certain she means well. But it is well-meaning people who started this damn mess in the first place.

Jesse Pinkman is a dangerous and potentially psychotic criminal, Tempest.

Frankly, I agree that that's something that should be common knowledge. If she hadn't said it, I would have had to give a public service announcement about his arrest and abilities simply because people do need to know that someone who can steal powers and has no concern about harming others is around.

Oh, I am not disagreeing that he has gone a bit mental. And I do not disagree that his power should be well-known, either.

But he is right, in that I did hurt someone - even if I had not meant to. It is my understanding that he did what he did for that person, but did not say why. That is the problem I have with all of this.

He doesn't get to exact his revenge without going through the proper channels of law. It is not his right and it is not his position to decide what happens to you at any point in time.

Nor do I think it was entirely about the person who was hurt. You're not the only person he's done it to and he seemed aware that it could be viewed as a crime the first time if it wasn't done in self defense so he had literally no excuse.

[whoa wait what]

He has taken someone else's power without their permission?

Yes.

She had used them offensively prior to temporarily incapacitate someone for a few hours, but according to her account he held her at gunpoint and stripped her of them without her doing anything more than asking why he was carrying a gun in dark hallways in the middle of a crisis. He says it was in self defense and she tried to use them against her, but in the previous encounter she at least tried to use physical force first and had no reason to be attacking him at all as he had not been posing a threat to her. She also had a gun on her but never pulled it. Previous to this incident I had been more inclined to believe his word over hers, but that is rapidly changing.

And those are only the ones we are certain about.

[oh Ros, if only you could hear the very angry curse she just shouted at her wall]

He has gone completely mental.

Either that, or he's sadistic and enjoyed inflicting pain on you and the other person in question.

I'm not sure which my money is on.

I would like to say he does not seem the type, but I am not sure anymore.

While an appeal to his theoretical better nature might work, I would urge you to be very cautious. I will keep you safe and physically he will not pose any threat to you, but I would not recommend walking into that meeting thinking anything but that he is an exceptionally dangerous person who has zero concern for the harm he has caused.

I appreciate your efforts to do so. I know that there has been words about what has been done, but you have handled this in the best way possible.

However, Jesse is not an exceptionally dangerous person. He thinks he is, and has made it so everyone else thinks he is as well through Sonya and her post. But he has taken the only thing he can from me, and should he try to pose a threat, I will defend myself, and do so without hurting him. Because I will not lower myself to harming someone, as I have not the entirety of this mutiny. I will keep my word to that.

He should be lucky, I am able to be rational about this. I have killed men for far less.

You have been far more rational than him, and you have caused far less harm than him.

While I do not think he is physically harmful to you and I hope that he will not be able to pose any psychological harm to you, he still remains someone who is entirely complacent about the harm he has caused you.

Regardless. I promise you he will pose no threat that is not in words and I will be there the entire time.

He is not psychologically harmful to me either. That I am certain of as well.

Thank you.

Good.

I don't believe I have apologized to you. I am terribly sorry that harm came to you under my watch. It was inexcusable and I should never have allowed his visit knowing that he could remove powers.

I promise everything in our power will be done to restore them to you. I hope this meeting will help.

An apology isn't necessary. He is a friend, who I thought had come to visit me. Unless you are psychic and were able to determine his true motives, then the fault does not lie with you.

I hope so, too.

Nevertheless, you are owed one. There may not have been a way to know it would be a problem, but you suffered as a result.

Then it is accepted and you are forgiven.

I'll wait to accept that forgiveness until it's been righted, but thank you.

If you wish to.

I will speak to you soon, then, I hope?

Very shortly, yes.
