Shadow the Hedgehog

"Thanks Miles," smiled Zamy. ----- "Well I was just about the only person she was pleasant to, aside from you Hope. Calling her bizarre would be a huge understatement."

"You are now, yes." ----- "Agreed."   "Plus if you ever actually need unshakeable praise my Moebian counterpart will give it to you for free," said Hope with a chuckle.

"Well do bear in mind I deal with the worst of the worst regularly. All the easy cases come and go quickly, so I don't have to drag things out." ----- "I've never had to do that, even when I'm out in the city. Either people are too scared or just don't care."

"It's nice to actually see someone rehabilitate." ---- "Makes me glad I'm rarely talked about, certainly makes my job easier."

"Fantastic. Thank you." ----- "Eurgh, that sounds even worse!"

"So just hope it stays that way." ---- "I predict it'll be a failure. I'm not as marketable as the faker."

"Yes. You haven't done anything that gives me great concern, either now or in the reports I get." ----- "No. Though if people wanted to send me cake or money I suppose I could handle the burden," he replied, smiling ever so slightly.

"Thankfully you're doing well so I don't have to." ---- "And you'd be right to make that assumption," he replied. "Though sometimes I don't mimd it," he added.

"Oh dear. Well that shouldn't be hard to overcome if you just started doing it." ----- "If I were I couldn't work here. Shadow can only tolerate so much attention."

"Well you're stuttering at least." --- Rouge visibly shuddered. "Exactly. i like having my looks."

"You do seem nervous." ---- "I enjoy having skin not covered in fur. Plus that would probably annoy Shadow as I'd look like a knockoff."

"That's good to know." --- "That was caused by magic, not a serum. Other me hasn't changed yet," said Hope. "That would be a problem though," laughed Rpuge.

"Anything else you want to talk about?" --- "She probably doesn't want any side effects either though."

"If I wasn't I'd be out of a job." ---- "I'm getting there. I still don't know if it actually worked."

"I can understand. But if it wasn't serious I doubt it'll come between you." ---- "All the more reason to hurry up and make me immortal somehow so you don't have to worry about that," added Rouge.

"These things happen. Hardly worth getting worried about so long as you see what went wrong." ---- "I'm not sure if I want them. Hope'll still probably be available for tech support but no one can bring Rouge's skills to Team Dark but her."

"Why's that?" ---- "You have a few decades until then I'm afraid. I'm going to have my work cut out for me basically running a two man show by that point."

"Yes. How are you feeling?" ---- "That's true, though prime you may not be as competent."

"Zouge turned to Miles. "I may as well check up on you as well while I'm here." --- "Of course the next time that guy tries anything I'll be the only one here."

Zamy went back to her report. ---- "You still helped."

"Now I guess we wait." ---- "Not at all. You earned it helping us out the other day."

"Ok. My radio will be on so let me know if anything happens." --- "Sorry. I just do 't want to risk losing our only Emerald."

"Do you want to head back there now?" ---- "Agreed. That would not end well."

"Of course.' ---- "So, what do you make of it?"

"Maybe you're right. I should've made a slideshow." ---- "Oh I know. It's come in handy many times."
