You probably forget that I grew up around a real genius." Sorry, Tommy, but that doesn't rattle me. Although I wonder how smart you'll feel when you end up dying alone in a pool of your own blood. God, I hope Kelly is the one to finish you off, you manipulative bastard. Poetic justice.I wonder what role his assistant plays in this. And what tricks he manages to have. Elite powers? Cybernetics? The man behind the mask?"You're wrong in several ways, Cassie. First of all, Chance has threatened at least one friend of mine, Tina, and I dare say she doesn't plan on sending me a gift basket at Christmas. Adding to that, I have no particular desire to see you dead, so that's another reason. I mean, these one-on-one duels might seem cool in Hollywood, but if she has your powers then there's at least a fifty percent chance you'll end up dead and she'll win. Probably more, because she seems to be the type who wouldn't hesitate to deliver the killing blow to her dear twin. You probably would, which speaks well of you.""And remember that we're playing for stakes that are bigger than just you or I. So why don't you cut the macho BS and start thinking like the soldier you claim to be. How would you fight an enemy unit of equal strength?" You do everything possible to win, of course. In this case, grab a few friends and ambush Chance.And obviously Cassie is going to go off on me for this little bit of advice or commentary or whatever. Not that it matters. She can't seem to decide whether or not she hates me from one minute to the next...just like someone else I happen to know. I swear, sometimes I just want to be sent as an envoy or something to Cardinal or Bishop. Assuming I managed to survive, I'd at least know where I stood from day to day...and it would be nice working with proper villains instead of a bunch of whiners who view every little setback or problem as some kind of disaster."Anyway, any chance we could tap this collective brain trust," Ryan asks with a dismissive eye roll, then continues "And figure out something a little more about Proxy the Eternal?"</blockquote>
