[They destroyed millions of dollars worth of art in one night for a “team-building” exercise, Donnie breaking into a bank is the least of his problems.]
So her daughter stepped up. Joined the D’Amicos. And they have beef with that Red Hood guy, which is what lead to Huvrye getting shot.
[And he’s totally unrepentant! Though… Leo hates to admit it, but he doesn’t think the guy is a monster. Just a jerk.]
[Excellent point. Not that this will really help dissuade him from future potential infractions.]
Pretty much.
...the Backbreakers, right?
[He'd come across the names, and while he didn't really formally go through any introductions with the guy when he'd helped Red Hood out during the fight out in Excelsior, it hadn't been hard nailing down a name to put to face- or mask, in this case.]
Not to my knowledge. [Donnie shakes his head as he tucks the paper back under his laptop, falling silent for a bit as he mulls things over his coffee.]
I mean, I'm not sure if anyone had attempted to break into the bank after I never followed through with a delivery, much less if it was successful and they found the box empty.
[If he becomes a full time villain then Leo may have to do something about it. For now Leo doesn’t… think he has to worry about it.]
Yeah. Not a very inspired name, but what do you expect coming from a guy who names himself something as basic as “Red Hood”?
[As though Leo is really one to talk here, since he has only ever used his own name, but anyway.]
It was like, almost forty years ago from their perspective, right? They probably think you’re long gone by now, maybe even dead.
Then again… [He sighs dramatically.] Our gorgeous green skin and movie star looks do tend to stick in people’s minds. Plus you’ve got that big forehead.
[At least Raph had put some effort into making his alias an acronym...which...really wasn't much of a difference in the end.]
I was thinking along the same lines. Of course, I have no idea if Elena Reach-D'Amico is holding any of her mother's grudges.
[He shoots a glare over at Leo then, suppressing the urge to finger his poor head. No, not at all self-conscious shutup Leo.]
...you know, the Bronze Owls practically dissolved in existence not too long after she married into the family, and the D'Amicos aren't exactly fans of metas. Now, I'm just theorizing, but if this information was to be applied against a certain meta by some means or another, then there's a chance Elena's still got whatever her mother had been planning or working on.
[Leo has to razz him, it's his duty as his only other middle brother.
But picking on Donnie aside, this is an interesting point he's bringing up now.]
And so... if someone were to find out where Elena Reach-D'Amico keeps all her important villainy stuff, they may be able to solve this mystery. And perhaps even prevent her from using it on any unsuspecting metas in the future.
[Just, you know... a non-specific someone or someones.]
[Leo grumbles under his breath, rubbing at his forehead, before he finally speaks where Donnie can hear him again.]
Listen, even if he is cool with you, it’s dangerous to be around him. Did you forget the part where Huvrye got shot just for being seen working with him?

...We could ask Hoodie himself. Since he's all up in their business, maybe he knows something about it.

I just… went to have a friendly chat with him after Huvrye got shot, that’s all.

Date: 2023-12-02 03:39 am (UTC)[It's a low bar, but he cleared it.]
He wasn't too intimidated by me. [Or impressed in general, which, rude!] But that's okay. Maybe it's better if he's not expecting much.

no subject
Date: 2023-12-04 05:56 am (UTC)Society got ordered to help with that, too. It doesn’t mean he’ll be nice to you if you just show up on his turf.
