So get this - some asshat comes up to me while I'm on break at Deli-CAT-essen and starts asking me why I'm eating at a mutie restaurant and am I a mutie lover and don't I know better than to support the freaks. I'm like, "Hey, look, I work here. Maybe you should leave." And he decks me. He straight up just punches me in the face. What the hell? And then PD bit his ass - like, mostly his pants, but PD bit him.

I was kind of worried about the asshat calling animal control, but the cop who showed up said it was in defense his owner, so PD was okay. Now I've got my name in a police report and Andre and Steve are freaking out about pressing charges but I'm like, why bother? It won't change the asshat's mind or make him any less likely to punch a random stranger in the face.

If having yours and PD's names in a report is going to cause problems, that could be made to go away.

You know, by a...friend of mine.

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

Yeah, y'know what? That'd be good. That'd be really good. Your friend is awesome and I seriously thank him a lot.

My friend notes that Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins are an excellent Halloween treat.

Doug.

You're feeling judge-y today, Doc.

[x-invisiblegirl.livejournal.com]

Are you ok? I can't believe that, who just lunches a random person in the face. That's crazy.

Also go PD, I'm totally getting him a pizza all for himself. Meatlovers?

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

I have no idea - some asshat named Todd, apparently. Whatever - black eyes not withstanding, I'm fine and so is PD.

Plain cheese for him, though - he's trying to maintain his waistline. All those runs he goes on with Cecilia help, but an entire pizza of his very own might stretch it.

[x-invisiblegirl.livejournal.com]

Wait what?! black eyes? As in more than 1?

Ok, just a few slices of cheese then. I'm sure his owner can find a use for the rest of the pizza.

You should have punched him back, but I applaud your "sicking the hounds" on him.

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

I was tempted, man, but it wouldn't have done any good - just gotten me in trouble with him.

[x-submariner.livejournal.com]

You made the correct choice, but not the one that would have felt good. It may be wise to discourage your pet from biting people even in self-defense, however.

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

Now there's some surprising advice.

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

Right? I'm shocked.

[x-submariner.livejournal.com]

"What he should have done" and "What would have been morally correct" are leagues apart in terms of actuality.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

THIS.

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

Dude, what good would it have done? I could've handed him his ass on a platter with a side of chips, but that would've just put the spotlight on me and how I knew how to do that and all kinds of other stuff that I don't really want to talk about to potentially (probably) bigoted police officers who might wind up flipping it and charging me with assault.

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

I swear I have not been training Lucky to be an attack dog. Swear it.

Also, put some ice on that, and think about pressing charges on that asshole for assaulting you.

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

Yeah, like I've said - I'm not about pressing charges. I don't want it to turn into some massive, ridiculous court thing. That's like the last thing I need. I'm applying to colleges and universities. I don't have time to deal with asshats.

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

I hear you. But - and I know this will be hard to believe, since you're an aspiring mutant vigilante - we do have a legal system in this country for a reason.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

I can't decide if you did or did not learn anything from our time in fostercare together.

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

I learned if I'm gonna beat the shit out of an asshole I shouldn't get caught.

[x-catseye.livejournal.com]

Glad you're okay. That stupid jerk has been pestering everyone lately. Customers, staff. Everyone. I can't seem to get rid of him. Sorry that happened to you. Maybe now the cops will finally take the whole thing seriously. I think it's time to file a restraining order.

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

Thanks - I've seen him around before, but he's never tried to talk to me before. I think the cops said they'd do drive-bys to make sure he wasn't there, but I'm not sure I'd trust it.

[x-dagger.livejournal.com]

What?! Want me to stab him with a dagger? No one will ever know.

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

Nah, don't stab him. He's already been bitten.
