"But abilities like mine and yours carry a price, sometimes a heavy one. I'm paying for mine. I'm just glad I'm getting the help I need," before I hurt someone innocent who can't regenerate, she thought to herself. "I.... I don't know." she leaned back, closing her eyes briefly. "I'm not an FBI agent anymore. I guess you could call me a double agent, since I'm working for both AEGIS and the Trust, although our boss heads both or headed both organizations." she rubbed the bridge of her nose. "I'm.... not exactly a superhero either. Most supers either view me as an anti-hero or a pain in the ass, sometimes both." she opened her eyes and looked at him. "It's complicated." Understatement of the year. Hope looks at him soberly. "I wouldn't  want to try it without a full medical backup. Last time I had a vision of the future, I nearly passed out from the force of it." she tapped the side of her head. "Any sort of deep mind-probe coupled with my own psychic abilities and um... past won't be pleasant." she said sensibly. "I wouldn't want to risk you or me without all the safeguards we can get." "And I'm gonna have to ask you to undergo a geas, so you won't be able to tell anyone what else you find in my head without my permission." she tapped her finger on the table. "I have someone I care a great deal about to protect." she smiled. "If you want, I'll undergo the same geas for you, just in case I pick up things about you that you'd prefer to remain secret. This way, we won't be able to betray the other's secrets, by accident or by force," She looks at him, and you can see that ferocious protectiveness behind the easygoing mask. She wasn't giving him any information he couldn't easily find on his own, through the Trust channels. This part, though, she was serious about. If he was going to delve deeply into her mind, she wanted those safeguards. Both for his sake, hers and those they protected."It's not that I don't trust you Errant, but anyone can be broken and a geas will help us both keep our mouths shut in that regard. I'm a very strong postcognitive, I don't want to accidently pick up something classified you did and then be forced to tell it later." "As to your previous suggestion about investigation... We should start with that blasted lawfirm. It represents most of the supervillians in town and no doubt has plenty of information on Barrington. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a major client of theirs." she grinned. It was a no brainer at that.  ooc:I'd say at this point, it might be fun to have a bit of her past revealed, at least some of her childhood before she was found. She is serious about the geas and she's more than willing and happy to undergo the same, to protect his secrets. It's not 100% fullproof, but it does add a serious layer of protection for them both, I doubt that Barrington or anyone else would be looking for something like that.Basically, her stipulations are pretty sensible caevets to a deep mind probe, especially since they're both essentially psychics. The blasted lawfirm bit, um. it's Wolfson, Sheppard and Doe, right?</blockquote>
