Part 5
Dr Darkholme hates snow, then again, the man is not very fond of springs, however, autumn is his favourite season and it seems only him appreciate such season. The man is free of his second job and his primary job is going well as Rogue´s girls are healthy and take their medication, to perform their work in a clean way, and it leaves Dr Darkholme available to do whatever appears in his mind and at the moment it looks a great idea to see Ariel.
London is not that big of city and spot the working woman is not hard and for once, she´s not with her friends and it gives him the courage to have a talk with him. (Deadpool, Remy and Rogue often tell him how terrible he´s to do small chat and now its time to prove otherwise)
“Ariel, nice weather” he states and is proud of his words as Ariel is blinking owlishly.
“I quite like coldness and I´m happy no kid will have to work in snow or in ever season again” she offers a triumph smile to the azzure man and the man can imagine she has something to do with that.
“Your job changes lives then, Ariel” Dr Darkholme replies impressed and knowing that a gentleman like himself and from a blue blood heritage (Deadpool can crack several jokes with about being blue and being from a blue lineage) should address Ariel by her real name, but, “still won´t tell me your real name?”
“No, Dr Darkholme, that is part of my charm” and offers a nice smile to him hugging tightly the shops she acquired in the story in front of them (the big logo is so bright that is a clear evidence she shop there and Dr Darkholme wonders if this is a new tactic of marketing) “But your job also changes lives. I know you help your sister´s girls” she uses the euphemism with care but letting him know that she´s aware of what those girls do “work in a health fashion...that´s incredible”
Dr Darkholme never meant anyone who shows compassion to hookers. That´s ...something that really caught his attention.
Dr Darkholme is not a smiling person, but, in this case, he can offer a ghost of a smile and nods his head as if accepting her kind words. “I heard, and people talk a lot here, that you managed to sue the mine of Mr Jackson and make sure each employee got a nice reparation for wasting their time and health in that place” and Ariel stops smile for a moment and nods sagely.
“Yes, but, my success is not only to my skills or friends...I got lucky this time” she confesses still hugging her shops, the bright logo is still visible even with her action of hugging more. She narrows her eyes at him and confesses. “I´ll confess to you a secret that no one shall believe. Mr Jackson had a partner that was supposed to testify and his testimony could change the trial to Mr Jackson´s side, however, the man never shows up in the court...He was a victim of the nameless killer and considering the reputation the victims of this killer has ...the court went more to my side than Mr Jackson”
“And you´re not happy with the result?”
“Oh, I´m, but, I would prefer winning without having to count with Mr nameless killer killing bad people again” she confesses and Dr Darkholme is too amused now and asks how she can know if the nameless killer is indeed killing only bad people. “Easy, all his victims committed a hideous crime. Mutant traffic, human traffic, paedophilia, rape and Mr Jonhson was accused of sleeping with his step-daughter...so I can see that´s his line for victims”
“You like to know about this case?”
“I like to be informed, Mr Darkholme as is my job, and you?”
“I like to stay informed as well, Ariel, talking about killers is fun and all, but, is not very safe for a woman. Can I escort you to your house?”
“I´m heading to my office, but, sure, you can, Mr Darkholme. And if one of your fans try to desperately marry you, I vow to protect you” she jokes and Dr Darkholme can appreciate the light tone for a moment.
“Careful, the last one had two pin hairs”
“I´m not easily intimidated, Dr Darkholme”
