I am well aware of your abilities. Are you aware of mine?

They're useless here, you will never have the influence you had back home.

Are they? I will bow to your expert opinion on the matter then. Good thing I'm only a one-trick show pony.

[And go about proving you wrong.]

[He really hates this man, but he keeps control of his temper this time. The fog in his mind is gone, he can think more clearly, and he's closing in.]

I will see you soon, Alexander Pierce.

I look forward to our ventures together. It will be like old times.

If you look forward to it so much, why don't you tell me where you are and meet with me openly?

I could say the same to you. Tell me, where are you slipping through the shadows now? At the post office yet? Guarding it to see if I make an escape to the tunnels?

[Shit. Shit.

How does he know? He nearly responds on reflex, but he stops himself. Pierce doesn't know, he's fishing, he's trying to get a reaction. He hopes.]

Is that where you want to meet me?

I don't believe we've made plans on a specific destination, though I do have somewhere I've been requested to be.

Where?

I'm going in search of signs of the Joker apparently. I can't give you that information; it was a task given to me in confidence.

[The idea of Pierce and the Joker in the same place is immediately horrifying, and he can't imagine anyone giving Pierce that task.]

I can help you, meet me first.

[Oh, that's cute. He's only looking for sign, not the man himself. Pierce isn't ready for that association after all.]

No, you cannot. I said I would go alone to see if there were signs of a struggle. I know what that looks like.

I will find you whether you want me to or not.

That sounds like a threat. Is it?

It's a guarantee.

No matter where you run, I will find you.

Perhaps if you tell me where I can find you, I can save you the trouble of this stalking behaviour. It's not healthy.

[Does he take that chance? It's possible Pierce will show up, but far more likely he just wants to have a place to avoid.]

You first.

[How about he calls you to show your hand, Winter Soldier?]

I'm not actively seeking you. I have less to gain from divulging my location. Besides, it's quite fun exploring!

[He growls at his tablet, not that Pierce can hear it. It's another circular discussion, but he's closing in.]

Enjoy your freedom while it lasts.

[And then he's gone.]

That's quite ominous, especially considering I'm in a frozen wasteland. Please do try to correct your tone next time we speak.

[He doesn't reply, but he does throw his tablet at the wall.

He hates this man.]
