Well... [His mouth pinches together. Maybe in his upset Akechi's mixed up a few of the facts. Now that he isn't seeing red, it's a touch easier to recall the conversation from memory.] She may have alluded to a desire she had for traveling to other worlds outside of this one, something about becoming a superhero. But the intent is still the same. She's needed back home, we have a mission to complete. Not to mention her guardian is there.
You don't think she's allowed to have aspirations to travel the multiverse should the opportunity present itself.
[Said with a raise of his brows. Listen, they are all stupid teenagers, but she in particular would obviously have 1. a fascination with the very weird and sci-fi concept and 2. a disinterest in listening to anyone telling her off for it. (3. especially Akechi)]
Look, I can't say it's a conversation that's gonna go well, especially if she's still pissed about it. But I'll figure out what's going on here. And maybe everyone needs reminded that any ideas about what happens after is still dependent on there being an after, which none of us have figured out yet.
[The refusal is right there on the tip of his tongue, the snap that doesn't come. But then Clint's question gives him just the slightest pause and that tiny second is enough to get him thinking. To Akechi's credit, after biting off Futaba's head, he really didn't intend to come here and fight her roommate.
So he gives himself time to pause and consider, how to word his thoughts without barking them.]
It's different for us, we have a future we need to protect. Whatever she decides to do after isn't any of my business, but I struggle to believe she's truly satisfied leaving Tokyo as we left it. Not to mention that her friendships seem important to her. [He doesn't mean him, naturally, but the other gaggle of thieving teens from Futaba's home.] She wouldn't abandon them to fight alone.
[Clint is right, of course. What a ridiculous hypothetical situation to freak out about, but Akechi can only hold himself together for as long as there's hope of returning.]
Give it a day or two then, when she's less furious with me. But I would appreciate it.
